Anybody know how to extract a stripped screw (engine mount). The Allen screws that come stock on the RC10 are very malleable. I plan on replacing all w/stainless. I need to adjust gear mesh and can’t move engine. Any old tricks will help.
 
EP, hit it right. Sone needle-nose visegrips work like a champ. After you take the stripped screw out make sure you throw it away & don't re-use it.
 
I used a dremmell with a cutting wheel- made a notch that my flat head screw driver fit in- took it out and chucked it in the round parts bin.
 
yes that whole dremal thing is a good idea, i have never tryed it, but have played with a dremal and drilled holes in things like for bumbers and making paper cups explode... but yes try vise grips the dremal :2cents:
 
yep . dremel is the way to go , just cut a slice into it so you can put a flathead screwdriver in there and screw it out
