Ok so for some reason my exhaust bolts keeps coming loose every time I take out my rc. I have a rampage mt. I tried lock tight and two different pipes and same results. Can't even run one tank of fuel. I don't want to over tighten them thought. Anything else I can use.
 
You can upgrade to studs that thread into the head. Red Loctite them in there nice and tight. Then you can you use 2 locknuts on each stud to "jamnut" it on. It will not come off then. There are also studs with holes in them, you can wire tie them together so they don't back out. Sorry, it happens from time to time on these models, some vibrate more than others, usually a flywheel or drivetrain that is not well balanced causes this....

My screws didn't come out, but I couldn't get the screw on the right side to tighten all the way in with the curvature of the bartolone XP pipe. So I replaced with the studs with locknuts. Now the pipe is really tight on there and no exhaust leak.

Those studs are a great product.
