Blue will work for 99% of your applications. Red or sleeve locker is not removeable.

Like Joe says. Use blue if you plan on taking it apart at some point. Red is the permenant type. Can only be removed when heated with a torch if you are lucky.

eDJ posted a very comprehensive study of the various Loctite products a while back but I can't find that thread. Maybe he'll see this and respond. However, what the other guys said is correct' the blue will allow disassembly but the other two will make taking things apart very difficult, if not impossible without thread damage unless you use heat. This is especially true with cast aluminum and steel fasteners.

Blue is a serviceable lock tight meaning no torches or magic curse words to work on it. Red means pure he@# if you ever need to work on it

Definitely Blue in the HT motors because most studs and bolts are made of low grade material. Chances are if you use red, you might snap the stud.
