We added the loctite in an attempt to try and keep things still. Obviously, with a hub that is nearly disintegrating around the bolts, a substance needs to be applied to hold things together until a permanent fix has been applied.

We used the nylock nuts included in the mounting hardware for these hubs, purchased from AndyMark (

Sorry for our ignorance. We simply did not know that loctite eats away at polycarbonate. We are currently looking at other options.
EDIT: Another thing. The center hubs (6 wheel 1/8" center drop) were not damaged as much as the outside hubs. We have been stress testing our robot by hitting defenses as much as possible.
