Whilst I'm posting does anyone bother to tap holes first as suggested or just put some lube on the screws? Built an Associated kit a long time ago and remember stripping heads trying to get them in!
I always tap all the holes on every car I build, the X-6 is no different. It'll make the build a lot nicer.

If you don't want the screws to be to loose try this little trick, don't tap the holes the full length of the screw, this way the screw will tighten just as the screw pinches up
