Stoppers falling off

As we were preparing for this years game, we encountered a problem after building our drivetrain. As we were testing our drivetrain the stoppers on the axles were falling off. We screwed it back on but whenever we did sharp turns and fast accelerations the stoppers wouls fall off and make the drivetrain loose. Does anyone have a solution to this?

@rick_bhattacharya Which part are you calling a “stopper”. VEX Robotics has various shaft collars for 1/8" shafts and High Strength Shafts

If you’re talking about shaft collars, the solution is to tighten them enough. Good tools help, I recommend Robosource for quality drivers

The stoppers are for 1/8" shafts

Are the stoppers the rubber shaft collars?

If you are using these, you should probably use these instead. They hold the axle in place better.
