Mine came lotited good out of the box. I finally had the chance to loosen the balls to change to Align balls after almost 1800 flights and after breaking lose the balls there's good amount of loctite in there.

Not surprised about MH stuff. Stock swash is good with loctite.

I bought the Blade alloy swash. Got a lot of flights on it too. Heli felt sloppy in the air and after checking it closely I found all of the swash balls were loose by 1-3 turns.
