try putting a tiny drop of ca on the grub screw. that shld hold it. (don't put too much ca, otherwise you can't unscrew it!)

I have had the same problem.. I havent tried the CA on it but have found a couple other remedies..
one is to wrap thread around the grub screw before you put it back in.. or to angle the grub screw slightly when you put it back in..
quick fixes but they work for stripped out threads.

Cool, thanks guys. I'll try the CA glue.

j240z, i had that same problem before and solved it by switching to losi c-hub carrier. It has a longer screw and deeper hole therefore, more thread to bite which minimizes stripping. Since then, i've never had a loose pin or stripped grub screw.

whats the formula for figureing out mph?
and whats the distance i have to measure out?

If you are using graphite parts you need to carefully drill out the grub screw hole because a lot of times there is a piece of flashing at the end of the hole and the grub screw bottoms on this instead of bottoming against the pin. It will feel snug but you can slide the pin right out.

I just took the hub assemblies apart and it turns out the grub screw were holding just fine. However, the whole hub assemblies were shifting within their mounts ( I hope this makes sense ) I just put a small sliver of fuel tubing in between the hub and the rear part of the mount so it would stop moving forward and backward. It seems to be nice and stiff now, no shifting. We'll see how it holds up the next time I run it! I can post a pic if anyone is interested.

One more Q:
Has anyone else used RPM ball cups for the steering links? They seem to be a bit to big, not allowing the link to be made short enough for proper toe? Is there a way to fix this or should I just not use the RPM ball cups for these links. All the others worked just fine.

In fact the RMP cup are a bit to big for the steering links. I have mounted them only on the outside and use the normal ball cups on the steering rack.

Open attachment for pic of front bumper mod. I have done it on most customer cars and they have stopped breaking things. Bad for business you may think - but good for customer relations.

It's easy. Simply modify the factory bumper and sandwich the rubber in between the two.

BALL CUPS.

The Schumacher Ball Grippas are also a good idea. That's what I recommend. They are a nice tight fit and fit everywhere on the TC3.

Good luck.

Thanks Johnbull! The bumper mod is awesome! I'm going to try it. As for the ball cups, I got the RPM cups to work. I was measuring wrong at first, but everything fits nicely now. Thanks everyone for the help!
