This explains a lot! I was wondering why we destroyed a set of kit wheels with tons of fractures around the hub areas. My first thought was that the sprocket was grossly over-tightened into the plastic but I'm realizing it was the loctite!

Sigh lesson learned!

I secured a victor with loctite once.... It is now a bare circuit board... the case just disintegrated >_<
