Default Hubs fix

Hi guys,

I'm sure I'm not the only one to have had this problem so here we go:

Description of the problem :

Rear hubs strip the hole for the ball stud on hard landing / crash.

Solution :

put a med length grub screw in the unused hole, this will strengthen the other hole !

It's a good tip but I can honestly say that I've never had this problem in all the time I've run K' cars. That said a bit of extra strength never hurts.

As with all the plastics on the Kyoshos you have to be careful to just snug up the fasteners as it's oh so easy to damage / weaken the threads.

It's not the threads it's the wall between the two holes that collapses, you end up with an elongated hole
