Why On Gods Earth Did You Break The Chassis To Get 4 Screws Out Why Didnt You Just Drill The Screws??

purplenut 01-06-2009 03:41 PM

Oh Lol Ok That Explains It , What Problems Are You Having With The Screws Now??

3 wont come out all in center allot mount AAAAHHHHH i could leave them in but want to change all the screws with the new titanium set.
I have not got a drimel and tried all other options think as the chassis ones were lock tighted in these are to,altho if i had bought the kit from new i would have done the same.

They're probably not 'lock tighted' in - the 501x screws bind and it's a PITA... I've had to spend hours drilling them out of my original chassis... sucks. Believe it or not, grease rather than loctite is recommended for the original screws.

Check: http://www.wikihow.com/Remove-a-Stripped-Screw

I had to buy a screw extractor set to disassemble my 501x... should hardly be necessary.

Suffice to say I removed and discarded every single Tamiya screw from the set.

Good luck!

I never put a tamiya screw near my 501x, aside from some like the diff screws.

purplenut 04-06-2009 07:54 PM

Man and I thought I had screw troubles.
I have to admit they are not very good screws to begin with, I only
had trouble with the screws one time and someone told me to cut
a slot in them with my dremel and they come right out with a flathead
screwdriver. Whoever told me this on here thank you.
Included in the box are some extra screws, at least I got some extra
left over in case that happens to me again.
