A question for all you Direct Drive owners.

I have a DD2 on the way that I am going to secure from the bottom of the unit. Is it a good idea to use 'Loctite Blue' on the threads or not? Thanks for any advice.

Cant hurt if its into a plate. I've never had mine off. But then its never loosened and actually didn't use loctite.

I have had my DD2 for over two months attached to a NLR GTtrack cockpit and have had no issues of the five screws coming loose. Also realize that my cockpit is using NLR's V3 motion and Traction Plus which means the cockpit has a lot movement, shakes, bumps, etc. including the DD2 torque itself. No problems.

Thanks very much sir, as I also have a V3 motion on my rig.

eh a bit unnecessary IMO , also will make it harder to inevitable remove etc

All you need is:

far better than anything else

Mine is secured by the three bolts in the fanatec triangle on the SimLabs wheel deck.

I just checked and nothing has even slackened of the three. You really won't need anything - threadlock I might have used if I'd had it but my wheelbase has been on a year, so unless you're going to run ridiculous forces (I try to make my FFB feel like a real car's wheel) it really doesn't matter IMHO.
