Why On Gods Earth Did You Break The Chassis To Get 4 Screws Out Why Didnt You Just Drill The Screws??

[purplenut]

Ah money is tight do you realy thing i would break the chassis just for 3 screws nooooo i hit the stage and took a big chunk out of the front piece there the front wishbone pivot bar hitit on impact ouch indeed.

Oh Lol Ok That Explains It , What Problems Are You Having With The Screws Now??

[purplenut]

3 wont come out all in center allot mount AAAAHHHHH i could leave them in but want to change all the screws with the new titanium set.
I have not got a drimel and tried all other options think as the chassis ones were lock tighted in these are to,altho if i had bought the kit from new i would have done the same.

They're probably not 'lock tighted' in - the 501x screws bind and it's a PITA... I've had to spend hours drilling them out of my original chassis... sucks. Believe it or not, grease rather than loctite is recommended for the original screws.

Check: http://www.wikihow.com/Remove-a-Stripped-Screw

I had to buy a screw extractor set to disassemble my 501x... should hardly be necessary.

Suffice to say I removed and discarded every single Tamiya screw from the set.

Good luck!
