That is precisely our setup and it works loose within about 20 seconds of driving hard...

It does feel like it shouldn't be possible but it certainly is, because it keeps happening!

We're going to try locking agents like loctite, see if they help.

And we're looking into alternatives, Gary, such as banebots hubs or in fact making our own. Hoping loctite of some sort does it, though, purely for simplicity.
