I always read the manual before anything, it was never listed in there. No big deal, you learn from your mistakes. Now I know and knowing is half the battle!

Why not use a a drop or two of blue thread lock. In fact as I recall LOSI sells thread lock. That's probably the reason the OP stripped out the screw to begin with. He was thinking hey "Lefty Lose, Righty Tight"

Oh that and we are talking about the lower shock mount on the arm, no way to get anything behind that screw as its recessed into the arm, sorta.
