What a pain in the a$$. All the hex screws are junk and if you put too much pressure on them they strip. And that is bull $hit. I can't believe it.
 
are you using the allen keys that came with the kit, or a good quality set of allen drivers?
 
same thing happened to me when i used the hex keys, then i got a set of losi wrenches and all of the screws were fine, the poopy hex key wasn't, get good wrenches, it could save your life.
 
I had the same prob lem with the kit ones and I got the AE hex kit for 20 bucks on ebay and they are bitchen. I heard the Team losi ones rocked!!
 
Get good wrenches and invest in a 4-40 and 8-32 tap and handle. I don't build anything without tapping the holes first.
 
i agree they could have easily done away with the tiniest of hex openings in favor of the next size up. the only one i have had issues with are that damn useless tiny size, even with a good set of wrenches.

i strongly suggest on top of some good wrenches a set of aftermarket screws.
