Yeah, I will wait for the sct 22 to hit the market and see if i can drive someones. I didnt like the AE FT SC, if the Losi one is more planted on all 4 corners than maybe. But will all the reading i have been doing about the Losi chassis tweaking, I cant imagine an even longer chassis will fair better.

is there enough stricking out of the block to grind a slot in ? if you can do that and use a flat head screwdriver to get it out.

yeah, you need enough material to get a pliers on it or try the slotting thing. If you broke it flush, you probably wont get it out. Trying to center drill the screw and using a reverse tap would not work, its too small.

It has saved me numerous times. Even worked on the small hex bolts that hold the aluminum front hinge pin brace on my B4.1. Got mine at OSH Orchard Supply and Hardware.

I just released today that there are steering stop screws lol. anyway the 12yr old Chinese girl that assembled that part stripped them. They are tiny! What of the above methods work?
Thanks!
Thanks!

One thing I haven't seen people mention, with regards to rear traction, is whether they need it/have too much on or off power. When I first started driving the SC10 4X4 after driving my SCTE I noticed how much more off power steering it had. With my Losi I would brake hard and turn into a corner off power until I was part way through and then slowly feed the power back in. Attempting this driving style with the Associated had me almost looping out into the turn and then pushing hard when I got back on the gas. With how much more weight the SC10 has in the back versus my Losi I really had to adjust my driving style. By driving on power through all the turns I was able to get my lap times back down.
Anyway, just wanted people to think about the differences between on and off power steering when they're tuning their rides.

I like to have a lot of off power steering so I can power hard down the straight break hard then coast through the corner adding as much power as needed to straighten the front end as I start to overseer. then gas it when the truck squares up.
The center diff helps me get away with that off-power setup since it helps keep the truck stable on power so I can still get though the sweepers ok where the slipper was washing out for me on the same setup.
I'm running 5k front and rear and all but the one pin I lost in the center dif.

Lucky for you, those are threaded all the way through. If the top of the broken ball stud is not mushroom'd or messed up so it won't thread through, you may get away with using a small drill bit to get a bite into it and then slowly turn it clockwise (tight) and run it all the way through. Going from the opposite side.
