I have striped one of the diff screws and one of the servo mount screws, and all the other servo mount screws and diff screws have worn heads. I even got a brand new 1/16 high quality wrench and a screw still stripped out. I would contact Horizon about it but as I bought it from another person I have no receipt.
I have had the same problem with the diff screws. It is actually quite common unfortunately. Lots of guys replace the diff screws with HPI part z449 and the problem is solved... well, once you get the stripped screw out of the diff.
. I believe Losi used a Steel and paper mache alloy for these screws.
