Screw extraction kit. I use em for work! ?How the heck do you get those screws out? Dremel drill?
Yep, only $5 or so. It's also worth investing in a good tap handle, and M3/M4 drill bits & taps. Come in real handy for making your own mounting holes, or just starting threads on plastic pieces that are new.Screw extraction kit. I use em for work! ?
Sucks that you forgot those bolts, but live and learn. About the aluminum mounts, I just bought all new for the whole truck. When you get into real hard bashing and super high jumping, those stock mounts just crumble like cookies. Path of least resistance leads to my wallet, so at this point, we'll just fix what breaks next while using the new mounts.Well I finally got out to bash a little after installing the Typhon bumper as a replacement for the stock Notorious bumper bar. Well after a very light curb hit the suspension pins popped out of the mounts. I thought no biggie and put it back just for it to happen again like 30 seconds later. After inspecting to better (in the dark with a flashlight during the blackout here in Cali) I realized I had forgotten to put screws into the front suspension hanger. (DUH!) Since the screws used to go through the bumper bar I didnt even think of putting some back in. Well that was why it kept happening. Of course this did a bit of damage to the mounts when it popped out so I decided to try out the Hot racing aluminum front and rears. I know this just places the stress somewhere else, but I decided to try them out.

I went a different route for the skidMost likely going to get the same mounts for my Typhon 6s as well. Also TBR just released the redesigned chassis skid so I ordered that as well. Wonder whats different.

That one screw by the motor is a pain in the ass. I stopped using mine.Cool. What I like about the TBR one is that it covers the whole bottom, and even if you don't have the bumpers it comes with front and rears as well. So the entire bottom is protected. That is until the delrin gets destroyed.

Yep! I wonder how the diff case is gonna hold up. You know somethings gotta give. I put extra long counter sunk screws in my rr & rf hanger, just to fill that entire length along the diff case. Figured it would help distribute the load. You still running composite cases? Or did you get the HR ones?Sucks that you forgot those bolts, but live and learn.

Composite front and HR rear. Also using longer screws in the composite, but I switched to cap head screws so I can use my 2.5mm driver. I had too many of the smaller screws strip when trying to take them out of the gear box. I know the holes are counter sunk, but I just make sure the screws are good and snug.Yep!
