I have a 3905 e-maxx and for some reason my screw heads keep striping and i can't get them out when i need too and i have no idea how to get them out. I need some ideas please.
 
You can get a screw extractor. You drill a hole into the screw and put the extractor onto your drill. Set it in reverse, and slowly take out the screw.

If you don't have a drill, there's the Dremel technique. You use a cutting wheel to make a slot onto the screw and then use a flathead to take the screw out.
 
yeah...but i cannot find the drill and i forgot to mention the screws and when the bulkheads connect to the chassis. So I'm stumped...
 
pecil torch!!

u can buy a pencil torch at harbour freight or someplace like that and heat the head and it should help get it off!
