Limitless Hub Grub Screws

[Darren W]

I have just bought a Limitless purely for speed runs so the first task is a strip down to make a few changes. This is when I found 3 of the 4 axle grub screws to be flooded with thread lock and flat refusing to move. After the intial fight to clean out the thread lock to allow the hex drive to sit fully home, the screws will not move. Any ideas other than lots of heat and destroying a brand new car?

I would touch a soldering iron to it for a few seconds. Heat will break down the thread lock...

I toughened up and went with heat. My soldering iron is a little wimpy so the small blowtorch came out. Roughly 5-10 seconds of heat directly on the grub screw did the job.

We don't use this much threadlock on the real F2 race cars... Thanks for the push towards heat guys.
