Mr. K, thanks for the advice, I’ll do just that next time. I didn’t know that I shouldn’t apply the thread locker on the female end. I might switch to a different permatex, the ultra grey rigid high torque RTV for a better seal. Thank you for watching!

@@galkawarrior I was a plumber for 20 years and it`s actually against the plumbing code to apply thread sealant to anything other than male threads. So, I just go by that. Seemed reasonable. Way easier to control where it goes. Also, I am looking for recommendations for motor/trans for my truck, when I get him going. I`m gonna need some serious power to get this monster rolling, lol. Right now, I have a WPL plastic 2-speed and a 370 motor. Which are not gonna last too long considering how much he`s gonna weigh. 8 pounds, maybe? Do you have any suggestions? ty! 🙂
