they don't go all the way thru, only half the length of the set screw. they've held great so far, altho the truck hasn't seen much abuse. the screws have a tendency to pull out (based on having them on my slash 4x4s) which is why i made a couple spares. the tekno plastic isn't as flexible as the proline plastic so they should hold better.

i don't remember if the set screws are 2.5 or 3mm. i probably just dug thru my bit box for something that was a tad smaller than the screw, then marked it at 1/2 the length for depth.
