Ok, well I stripped that screw that hold the front wheels on using the junky tools the kit comes with.

Any, bigger screw that will work better?
Or any way to make the original screw strip less?

Just use better tools and it will not be an issue, you do not need to torque it on just a nice snug fit will work.

Otherwise you can put hexs on the front, this will give you a nut rather then a screw.

Any quick fixes for now?

I plan on getting the Factory Team drivers in the future.

I figured out about not over-tightening the upside down screws cuz of the binding but I didn't put lock-tite in there. Should I go back in?
Yes. You can take those screws off 1 by 1 by turning the steering while it's off. You don't need to remove the whole top part.

Finally got back to the track tonight,it's been a few months since Ive been,got there and ran 7 mins of practice,sauces up the tires and qualified 4th overall and won my heat,2nd qual I was 2 secs in front of tq and the lappers just pounded me and wouldn't let me by so I was 2nd in heat 2,main I just kicked back to stay out of trouble,3rd bobbled so I took that spot and 2 turns later the leader rolled over and 2nd place plowed into him and I took the lead,never looked back and won by 8 secs,not to bad for a guy that hasent ran in a few months,car was dialed,ran a different gearing in blinky and it was really awesome in the infield and fast down the straight.

I use these:

http://teamassociated.com/parts/details/6285/

Also put a ball stud spacer between the bearing and the screw
Otherwise the wheel can slide off the axle

How far out do those stick out? Have you ever had a problem w/ them catching on stuff? Regardless, that is probably what is going on my sons buggy as he will usually strip one of the wheel screw per weekend

venom replace the ft axles with these. you will need 2 E clips to hold them on also. and 2 nuts. not sure if 4-40 or 5-40 on the nut.
