A pre-applied threadlocker that makes adjustments possible?

your question is what was used on the RC screw thread and the answer is who know what they might use
now the thread lock question ahs been chewed on for years on forums
the reality is the smaller the thread is the more you have to be careful
now those RC thread look dry but when they are screwed in there could be enough heat to soften the material and fill the thread to hole very well
purple--blue--red Loctite cure with no oxygen so putting a dab on and setting them aside well not work and i have never tried putting in a contain and sealing it
now this product does what the RC parts look like they were done

for me i would rather put the threads in with and dry compound vs and wet one in our gun hobby
i did Tanaka warranty work and they used way too much blue thread lock on fuel tank screws and they were i nightmare

If any of you haven’t tried the super glue or blue locktite from harbor freight yet, let me tell you once you have you’ll never buy the more expensive permatex or name brand ones anymore. Especially the super glue, omg. Great stuff
@Bigragu Super glue on airgun screws? Is it weak stuff or something?
 
Hi.
Can anyone tell me what kind of pre-applied threadlocker e.g. Traxxas uses on their screws? That holds tight but doesn't lock up completely, and stays flexible and makes adjustments possible over time? It doesn't look like LocTite supplies any of this type of threadlocker, but clearly someone does. Anyone know or have any suggestions?

I'm showing my age but beeswax does a great job of preventing fasteners from vibrating loose while allowing for manual adjustment.

I learned that a dab of thick paint would do the job.
That along with @JackHughs ' use of beeswax, and other rustic methods, might be the reason the inventor/developer of Loctite became a millionaire almost overnight.
And he did so when a million was still considered a lot of money

just my trillion cents

That vibra tite stuff reminds of “superelastic bubble plastic”. The stuff you play with as a kid. Has the little straw and tubes of stuff you blow bubbles with. Feels and smells exactly as I remember as a kid 😂
No brain cells lost huffing that "toy" ..
