I would also recommend using TiR screws. I use then in my offroad cars and XXXS Graphite and love them.
I also use the Trinity spur adapter but with RW Spur Gears. They are the hardest and truest spurs I ever used.These are alot thinner than most 64p standard spurs and work well with the Losi car. They are imported by Power International I believe.I would give them a try.

There are different grades of steel screws. The screws included in associated and losi kits are grade 10.9, it isn't any stronger then grade 18-8 stainless.

It's important that you use the tapping screw on all of the chassis and bulkhead holes before screwing in the steel screws, otherwise you will definitely see some stripping, no matter how careful you are.

Right, that is especially true on set screws that are made for anchoring things like hinge pins. Always run the set screw all the way through the hole first to thread it, BEFORE inserting the pin (or whatever is to be captured). This will drive the excess material out, which you can then clean up. If you don't, you will strip the piece right away. This holds very true for the Losi cars with the captured hinge pins.

i learned that the hard way, i stripped the hole in the rear hub where the pin goes that holds the hinge pin.

Messed around with it today. Has more pull comming out of the turns and the sense of a little more speed going in (not sure)... Give it a try... takes 5 minutes to do... You can just tighten your front diff all the way down for a few laps... feels the same.
It's a little different to control though. (kinda twitchy comming out of turn)

Hey all
Havent got my kit yet am waitting for kits to get to NZ
But a question.
Do you use the tapping screw for every screw that goes in?
Eg i havent seen it so please bear with me is it a quite fine thread or course thread and do you use it for tapping fine screws if its a course tapping screw.
Thanks for ya help but am getting a bit confused when reading ya postes.
Thanks Ryan
