I have personally found between all the Tekno vehicles I run, 1) the wing screws and 2) the rear bulk screws are most prone to bending. That being said, I have never stripped a single one after multiple seaons.
Recommendations: Use chapstick or oil to thread it for the first time. Use a QUALITY driver (I've heard "questionable" feedback on the VPPro brand to say the least) and you're much less likely to have issues. Use a electric driver to initial threading which decreases the likelihood of stripping probably 5-10 fold. Just ensure that if you do that you go SLOW and keep it cool and lubricated in order to not stress the plastic/composite.
While I'm not a losi man for vehicles, I use them as a %#@%#&%(@@&$@ hammer and they still go strong
I replaced my first 2.0mm losi last season bit after roughly 10 years of use finally... I think that speaks for itself.
The bit I have fits to good but I also have Ofna bits and the same happens. I also use a mini driver because there is no way in hell I'm screwing those long things in! lol.
The bits just pop out because they don't sit down far. It's much like the problem people will have when screws have to much paint on them and the bit doesn't fit well because of it. These don't have paint so that isn't the issue but it feels like it.
