I have had my XB for about a week now. When I was starting to remove some screws on the bottom of the chassis I noticed I have some screwed up hex heads that are stripped to the point where I cant remove them. Has anyone else had this issue? I was going to change my clutch spring out but I will have to figure out how to extract the screws.....So frustrating!
 
Just drill the head of the screw off and use vice grips to take it the rest of the way out. Get some good screws for the hardware store and a good set of allens to use and you should not have any more probs.
 
same here....

I had the same problem. Out of the box I started to loctite my metal to metal screw connections underneath the chassis. A lot of those screws were poorly made I guess, they just got rounded off while I'm trying to remove them to apply some loctite. I bought this and was able to remove those screws.

Went to a local hardware store and bought some screws. I thought if I buy 'em at RedCat Racing, I might end up with the same problem. So you're not alone,bro.
