a fix for stripping out the rear body mount...REVO
for as long as i had a revo, ive been stripping the 3rd bolt that hold the rear body mount to the chassis. if you owned a revo, you konw what im talking about.
to day while i was removing the wing, i was like " why havent i fixed this yet" it was a simple fix so i decided to share it with you guys.
just drill out the theaded part of the mount with a 13/64 drill bit
place a nut backwards on a smaller 3mm screw
place some them between it, where the chassis goes ( i used wheel nuts)
and just tighten down the screw till the nut is pressed in, then put a drop of ca glue so it doest fall out.
thats it,, it will NEVER strip again.
i also pressed in a red washer for the screw so it wouldent pull through

Thats nice work but alot of effort. I use a fat sheet metal screw and grind the point off. Then I just screw it in and it grabs the chassis plate clearance hole and threads right into the chassis. Have never had a problem and raced this way for over 3 years.

You are still relying on soft plastic and brittle glue. Thread it into the metal chassis plate and be done. Its tight at first but once threads are formed its fine.
