and the small alenheads are stripping and I'm not doing anything exsecive

[spanko123]

try this maybe

if they already stripped try pliers ya no if you could get a good grip if not get resoursfull and use anykinda drill grinder thing, dremels good and make a little groove just good enough for a flat head screwdriver just to get it out ya no what i mean?? ok later

omg I'm going to pull my hair out,,, i need the take the big main chassis brace off and one of the chassis screws is some how destroyed (how you do that to an alenn i dont know)

but i dont have a dremel and the thing is totally shot

how do i take this screw out,. I'm not replacing stuff on a new car =\

Sorry you are having issues.
One thing you are going to have to get used to is replacing broken parts. If you feel you don't want to do this I sagest you trade your RC in on a bucket of Lego's. RC=replacing parts.

You will need to do whatever it takes to get the screw out. If you have to sacrifice a part then so be it. Its all part of the hobby.

but the car is new makes you feel like an idiot for breaking it before it runs

Congrats!

Good drivers will prevent most stripped heads. But they creat new issues like stripped parts instead heheheh Especially like the graphite thats on the drake. While strong, its softer to screw into and threading doesn't hold oh so well.

Post the pics, we'd love to see a clean one! heheheh
