Pinion Keeps coming off of motors shaft.

[DemonTime]

I have just installed a new Pinion and after high speeds my car begins to make a loud noise then it will just stop moving but I still can move the two front wheels. Do I need to glue the Pinion down by the 1.55m screw? I am very confused thanks.

Also forgot to mention, Its an amp crush and is bonestock besides the brushless motor and esc.

Did you use Loc-Tite on the screw in the pinion? The screw can come loose fairly easily.

Okay thanks do I let this dry over night or for a few hours after?

If you put just a small dab of blue thread lock on the set screw it will take care of that problem.
