If you ask me (which you haven't), the problem is not the screw, it's the exposed thread at the end. This catches the track and bends the screws.
Cut the screw down 2mm, or put a 2mm spacer on before fitting the nut. That way the smooth edge of the nut hits the track first, and the car slides.
I just don't understand why more cars don't use the B44 style front shock tower. The only reason must be to sell more spare towers and mounting screws!

All in all its a brilliant car and im very happy with it!
As you can see ive replaced the standard pozi drive screws with Losi 3 x 25 MM shoulder capscrews .
The reason behind this is that i find that as the shock screws protrude a fair bit from the shock mount. Ive found that ive bent these screws on numerous ocassions and this make an ideal replacement .
