HPI Firestorm exhaust bolts..


Recommended Posts

Hi,

 

I'm new to the forum but have had my HPI Firestorm for about 20 months now. I havn't had much use out of it as I keep losing exhaust bolts.. this of course means I can't start the engine as there's no pressure!

 

I've went through 4 exhaust bolts (different sides), I've tried loctite which slowed the bolt disappearing process down but it still occurred

I've also tried different length bolts which also did not help.

 

Can anyone point me in the right direction? 

 

Cheers,

Adam.

I tighten the bolts when the engine is hot and also put a v thin nut on the end of a slightly longer bolt also red Loctite will work but is difficult to remove due to the extra strength it has.
