Best plastic in 1/10 off road 2wd?

[wookieewonder]

As title, had problems in the past with screws stripping out on various different cars. Some parts I have used seem to be very good, Losi 22 rear hubs, very resistant to screws stripping out! Who has the best plastic in the business? Ps I don't try and gorilla them down either!

All the main stream brands plastics are very good, but being plastic and the fact that you HAVE to cut the thread on the first time of putting in the screw, if you don't follow that cut thread the next time, you will weaken the thread.

Thanks :thumbsup: Is there a way to make sure the screw follows the original cut thread every time to limmit damage? Never really thought about cross threding in plastic.

Wind the screw in reverse until you feel it drop in to the thread then tighten.

Exactly what Roger said.... sounds daft but you will feel the screw drop into a thread.
