Get in there with a dental pick or x-acto knife and carefully pick it out just enough so you can grab it with a tiny needle nose. Good luck, hope you have an extra or two. Didn't your new piston come with two clips?

very small needle nosed pliers are my favorite...

Good tweezers work also. TRy like hell not to bend it. It's good idea to install new ones. They are really cheap.

rebuild complete!!!! Thanks guys! it's a good thing the new piston came with 2 new G-clips, cuz when i was putting it in the 1st time, while trying to compress it in there i tried to see where i was at and it took off on me. but the 2nd one worked great! lol thanks guys

well traxxas definitely did their homework when they decided to put 2 G-clips with the piston if i had only gotten one i would've been cussing up a storm while i waited for them
