So, it looks like the screws holding the suspension mount have stripped out of my gearbox. I've noticed these loosening up over time, and it seems like a weak point.
Questions:
-Is there any way to beef this up? I see something like Hot Racing's aluminum gearbox housing/bulkhead - any experience with this or are there other recommended replacements?
-I use an RPM front bumper. I probably also need to replace the AR20363 bumper mount that got lost, as that seems to (very weakly) hold the AR330381 pins in place, no? Or is that part superfluous? Is there a good replacement for the stock bumper mount if so? Mine is held in place by these wimpy little tabs that popped pretty quick.
-Aside from replacing the gearbox, is there anything else I should get while I'm ordering parts? I have never gotten that deep in disassembling the vehicle so not sure what else is down there
-Perhaps unrelatedly, any recommendations for an appropriate little bag of assorted replacement screws that are suitable for this rig?
Thanks,
Mike
