Perfect for stripped out screws and only $8 dollars.

The reviews don't look to promising. Let us know how it works out.

I use grabit and the craftmans brand they work saved my butt more then a few. I bought the combo pack with multi sizes for different screw heads. Sears carries these if you want to research . Great product saves time and headaches

Guys,
I have a bind somewhere in the driveline where if I push the car along it feels like the brakes are dragging and its not rolling free. I have pulled the centre diff out and removed the brake discs then reinstalled the diff back in the car but it still drags I also removed excess diff oil from the centre diff thinking it was that but no change both the front and rear diffs rotate freely. The only way to describe it is it feels like is that either of the front or rear diffs ratios are different and its fighting the centre diff to rotate all the tyres the same speed........

I cannot wait to get the new 2.0 kit on the track! If anyone wants here is my current setup that i am running in my buggy, it is close to Paul's base setup just a few changes.

Thanks again for letting me on the team Paul!

One of the brakes is hanging up. Take the center diff mount out and make sure it's free. What usually happens is the spring slips behind the pad and causes it to bind.

I received the 2.0 update kit today. It's very extensive and replaces almost everything in the rear but the gearbox and swaybar. Il throw pics up once it's on :cool:

yes the update kit will be 95 euros for the full and 43 for the basic.

but for what you get from the kit I think its a bargain...

The D8 tank fits, but you have to modify and slightly bend the fuel tank posts and trim the body for the lid to clear. I had to shorten the posts and used a heat gun to bend the front post to get things to fit properly. Im back to the stock tank now, but i keep the d8 tank/posts in my pit box for a spare
