I use a Dremel and make a notch and take flat head screwdriver small one and try twisting it out. Or u cut it all the way to the motor shaft just be careful. Best luck buddy

^this. I struggled for a while, but bought some diamond cutting wheels off amazon and they did the trick. Pinion was mangled after, but I put a new one and all good.

I use a screw removal kit. I usually heat up the screw first and then use the screw removal bit and they come right out.

You'll have to cut or drill. The pinion is gone, but they're inexpensive. Prying may be dangerous, you may bend the motor shaft. Motors are not inexpensive. For the next time, remember to heat the grub screw to loosen the loc-tite before trying to remove it.

All right Thanks for the help everyone. I will just ask my dad to drill the grub screw. Will the pinion still stay alive because I don't want to be running my 26t pinion that I was trying to replace in the first place..Horizon should really do something abt this. I know it partially my fault? but still. May not pour the hole bottle of thread lock would be a nice Idea?

Threadlock from arrma is so messed up. My rear shock standofts came loose and scatrting eating the alluminum removed the screws and they were filled with threadlock but 0 resistance are they using water instead of threadlock sometimes?

If he drills it with a small enough bit maybe.

You're screwed. Consider the pinion lost and do whatever you can yo get it off. I'd drill first and if that doesn't work I'd use a Dremel and cut it off.

Ya I do have 26 t which i was trying to get on. I lowered my senton a Sh$t ton and trimmed the body and the 12 year old me decide to take the pinion of with reading any forums or heating it up! I will ask my dad to drill but 1 of his colleges that borrowed the machine flipped his car over so its gonna take a couple days for it to happed.

Try an easy out screw extractor usually have to drill a hole in a Bolt to use one of those but that grub screw already has the hole in it for the Allen wrench so just stick an easy out that fits in it and turn it counterclockwise. It may work. Also heat the grub screw up with a soldering iron first

Lol. this thread is a year old. I got it figured out. I drilled it and then used a screw extractor to take the grub screw out managed to save the pinion
