Upgraded the complete car from chassis to titanium everything, stainless screws etc.. and now, I am the happy owner of a Losi 8 2.0 + 1 highly modded Losi 8B with everything you can think of to make it what I should have bought in the first place.
I couldn't even get my wheels off at first!!! Used all kinds of tools to fix that too...
ok guys if this ever happens to you again all you have to do is use a good quality 2.5 and 4mm drill bits in a drill and slowly drill the set screw out -easy as

then all you have to do is remove any excess material from the driveshalft and replace the set screw NO PROBLEM

I've had to do this a couple of times and it always works
