Re: CIM-Sim with RS550
Red Loctite is a thread locking compound. It is not designed, or formulated, to act as a retaining compound. As mentioned above, "green" Loctite is formulated specifically for this purpose.
We have exactly the same CimSim and dual RS550's. We used Loctite 609. It is working flawlessly. It's a bit expensive, $17.00 for a 10ml bottle. But you only use a drop or two at a time.
Just make sure you heed waialua359's warning. If the stuff seeps into the motor bushing on the output shaft, kiss the motor good-by.
