Yeah, If you strip one of those 2.5's, you have bigger issues.

I used a 3mm.-.7 tap to start every hole in the kit. Then I used my Bosch power driver to thread the screw in the rest of the way, with the torque setting on max slip.

My Makita at Slip 2-3 and walked them in slowly to not heat up the plastic.

And even if you did power that drill through, You'd explode the hole instead of the 2.5 head. I'd like to see someone strip a 2.5 head into plastic. I'll paypal a dollar.

Default CoyoteTech Trader Rating Requested!

Hey this is a little shout to you guys who purchased a Chassis Brace through me.

Will you guys please make sure to throw up a Trader rating. This has nothing to do with a number for me. (I could care less about that number) What it does for me is makes sure that you and I are golden. Then I can delete the PM's with personal information and whatnot then new PM's are between you and me on repairs, or what have you.

This makes things so much easier for me. It's purely selfish so I can toss out this pathetic paper trail I have going. (I'm not an organized guy.)

To those of you who have closed the deal with the Trader rating, Thank you 1000 times. You make it cake for me to make sure everyone's happy.

~Shaun

That's a good one too, Mawki is a good company.

But I was using my Makita at my old Diesel Tech Job to drill through Tractor Frames. I trust Makita and would suggest them to anyone for 'anything'.

Makita is my favorite too, but I got this little Ryobi for around $40 and a spare battery for another $10 I think, and it works great for RC and it's easy to stash in the tool box without needing yet another case to haul down to the track.
