I got it!... =(

Yeap if that one is rounded, then it's too late. But with the other set screws, I would definitely use a quality ball end wrench. You can get some really nice wrenches for $30 to $40 brand new, and I just saw a 7 piece Hudy set go on my crawler forum for $35, I HATE I missed it.
 
Ok I got it. The set screw flew out at high speed and shot into the tranny housing.

So it was at high speed??

Just to be clear. I didn't drive it hard at all.

But you said it was at high speed...



I find it a little amusing that you talked smack in other peoples thread but you can fix this simple problem.
 
I have to laugh when guys run their rigs without bodies and then complain when something breaks. The body serves a purpose other than looking nice. It actually provides protection to what is underneath.

Time and time again I see guys practicing around the track without bodies. Almost always they end up skidding upside down or being run over by another RC and something breaks. Easily avoidable if they just put their body on. You don't race without a body so why practice without one. Nice way to end your racing day before it even starts.


I didn't complain, I was just saying that I broke the tank. No big deal. Just figured I would mention it. And smaxxin, I don't get what you mean by "talking smack". I guess it was a simple problem but I couldn't figure out how to fix it. And "high speed" was just driving it around. I wasn't driving hard really. Just going fast. I don't think it is considered driving hard, or at least in my books.
