Annoying

[antnee]

:mad: I remember why I was going to get rid of my xxx-cr now, its so annoying to work on!

having to thread parts is sooo annoying!

any tips before I mash every screw I own or chuck the car?

[super__dan]

buy a tap?

What are the quality of your allen drivers like? That could be why the heads are stripping.;)

When I'm putting screws in they get proper tight, then the head goes:mad:

You mean like Associated, X Factory, Kyosho, Hotbodies and Schumacher do:confused::eh?:

[antnee]

I dont know about others, but xray, traxxas and associated parts Ive bought all were pre-threaded

Just pre-tap the holes with a cap head screw 4-40 and that will put a thread in the hole.

As dumb as it sounds a drop of spit in the hole before threading it works pretty well and makes it a whole lot easier...

That was an official recommendation from Losi about ten years ago :lol:

Personally i havent stripped a head yet on any of my screws in my cr and to tell you the truth when buildnig it i forgot to pre tap some parts you just have to go carefull and make sure the plastic doesnt get to hot. Just pretap all the holes make sure you use good quality allen drivers and bobs your uncle.
