well i got my buggy today its a rovan 26cc . looks good started on 4 pulls . i am inpressed with it for the price . got to drive it a little bit in my shop at work . to freekin cold here to take out side hoppefully get a warm day to bash it outside .. i now u guys talk about checking the rear diff and locktighting everything . what bolts should i check do u use red or blue locktight ?
 
RED and BLUE 'loctite' is occasionally the opposite way around, depending on supplier, so take a close look at the definition on the bottle.

Generally BLUE is firm but removable, RED is near permanent, but can be persuaded to move, generally with a little heat, GREEN is forget it - it's not moving again!!
You need to take care.
Most METAL on METAL screws will probably need BLUE Loctite - removable with a little persuasion. Don't consider RED or GREEN unless it's something you really don't expect to have to remove again.

Reading other KM posts, there are issues with them, and ALL screws require checking before running, is the impression I get.
It's good practice, as this SHOULD be a normal routine, as ALL rigs shake a lot, and will vibrate free quite a few screws you probably didn't think they would.

use blue on bolts and nuts in a regulaer type use, red is for anything that will have heat induced to that bolt or nut, like engine mount bolts, etc...

bolts that just bolt together frame to a brace lets say, use blue
 
if ya can getcha one of those alloy split diff cases before you go breaking it down to check the diff , swap out the old plastic one for the split diff, if you ever have to service the diff again, you wont have to almost dismantle the whole rear to get diff out, saves alot of time and makes that whole diff lots stronger.
