Kraton Servo screw stripped

When you’ve tried everything to get the stripped screw out! Just drill it out!

Need a new servo mount standoff. I think its beyond hope.
Did you try using heat to soften the Threadlocker first?
Crap happens. Been there. The lower screws of the Steering Bell crank posts got me a few times. And I even used heat and all. I think Arrma uses too much TL'er and uses Red TL which just adds insult to injury. Red TL is not needed anywhere on RC rigs IMHO. It is for very large fasteners. Blue TL is all you need. And sparingly at that.

I say this one was one me, lol I used an old 2.0 driver (rounded edges) I had. After I stripped this screw I throw it away!! I bought 2.0mm MIP. I know better then to use the drill on the servo screws I was just in a hurry. I normally "break" them by hand then use the drill.

Those EXB servo mount standoffs are a pain in the %$#. They are tall and Arrma uses red loctite on some of the posts. Not all....some. You have to hammer it with the torch and get a good grip on the 2.0mm. It is a setup for disaster. If I strip them I normally use a dremmel and slot the head then use a flathead screwdriver.

Yes, I don’t strip many screws but this one maybe 3 times in 10 years. The dremmel works great but drilling it out feels so much better! gets the anger out!!
