Accidentally Stripped (2) Screws Inside Crankshaft

[ryankevin1201]

Hello,

My name is Kevin and I am new to Nitro RC 1/8 Scale Buggy racing. I have a Mugen-Seiki MBX8-R with an OS Samurai R03 Engine (see Photo 1)

Last night I was replacing the clutch bearings and was in the process of reassembling. I accidentally used Loctite (forgot not supposed to on this screw) and overtightened the screw.

• (see Photo 2) - The first screw broke off, but there was still about 3-4mm of space.
• (see Photo 3) - I tried to put another screw in and that one broke off too

Photos are attached to this thread.

What should I do? Should I get a new crankshaft online and try to replace the crankshaft?

Thank you for your time,

-Kevin

Welcome to the forum, sorry about the screws.

What helps me with locktite is to heat the screw with a soldering iron. Onviously your beyond that point, but for future refrences.

Worst case. Weld..... tack it straight in the middle.. make sure that you have a decent amount of weld wire first. And tack it. Cut it and unscrew. I have used this method on my pps mount. Kevin talbot has used it too he has a video on it.
