I have seen a few screw extractors for sale on ebay but they all seem to big for rc screws, any help much appreciated  |
if the chassis is alu and the screw steel then heat is your best friend. the alu will expand far more than the steel screw thus making the screw slack! Only problem is discolouring alu chassis. you should be ok if you balance another screw on the tight screw head to head then heat it up til red hot then allow heat to transfer...worked a peach for me
