FC3 Controller issue

[Phantomhalo]

Long story short my screws on my FC3 controller keep backing out causing the wires to fall out killing the car. Anyone know any fix actions for this? I don't really want to put loctite on the screws but I'm running out of ideas. I do tighten them periodically but lately it seems as though they are coming out more easily. Thanks all!

Did you solder the ends of the wires?

Yes, I've soldered all the ends. As far as the blue loctite goes, would you guys just put a dab behind the screw or unscrew it completely and put it on the screw threads?

For screws smaller than 1/4" in dia, Loctite recommends LOCTITE® 222™ Purple Threadlocker . This appears to be an industrial grade product, so you may have to look around in order to find it.
This is what I would use, I would have recommended it in my first post, but after looking on Loctite's website I couldn't find any mention of it and I thought they may have discontinues it. Then I found it under their industrial website.

Make sure you use the purple and not the blue.

Yup, will do! I just bought some of the purple. Thank you!
