The screws are a bit of a joke - but the screws in the ZX5 were even worse.. The only reason they were worse in the ZX5 is because that car costs twice as much. You can't slate a car that's this cheap for something like screws. I think the screws are used so little jonny who'll NEVER see a race track can build it on xmas morning with his dads phillips.
Unlike sosidge, I chose to soldier on with the build using the kit screws - and if you tap all the holes first and use grease there isn't really any big problem. Eventually you can switch to a hex screw kit - but you can't really expect one to come with it at this price.
I was sweating, swearing and with a sore hand after the first 2 screws in this car - I had to spend a lot longer than I should just pre tapping all the holes. But I have two 501X cars and still love the Durga.
I contacted Tony from Tonys Screws - and he's looking at putting together a kit for the Durga as we speak.
