Stripped Screw - 08-05-2007, 02:15 AM

the hexes on the screw holding the clutch bell / gearing on my NTC3 is stripped. I'm seeing 2 options, New Engine, or...what else...If I have to get a new engine im just selling the f*cker as a roller. Basicly im asking for help, and I am desperate for it. I'll even pay someone to help me out.


LSP lots of Khz, Werks .28 8 port.

Revo 2.5, TRX 3.3 Engine, Center Diff. Fast and Turns on a dime.

take a cutoff wheel and make a notch in the head of the screw so you can use a slotted screw driver

I think he's sayin the threads on his shaft are stripped. Can't you buy another shaft? Thats a bad spot to get strripped threads. If I'm wrong than yeah what meat said, cut a slot with a dremel and use a flathead screwdriver to get it out.

If the screw is stripped, do what meatwad said. If the crankshaft is stripped, get an extra long screw and see if it catches any threads farther into the crankshaft.
