So vitavon loves leaving aluminum shaving in their threads for us to deal with. This is not a new subject with these guys. Thank you Vitavon
I thought to make this post to share a few things I found and to also get community input as well.
To start let's all take a few minutes to watch this awesome video that is definitely worth your time, promise.
Now let me show you my bruised threads on my front axle for my losi lmt. This is the cover that holds the differential. The screws were already in and as I unscrewed them by by hand I could feel the crunch of the debris
I never used any tools all this was by hand. What I did that most likely caused this was by holding it so the holes were upside down and tapped what I could of the metal debris out. Which was happening as I did it over a paper towel. After I used can of air to blow out the holes then attempted to check the screws in the threads to verify they were lean. How from me turning theses scews by hand did this is happen is besides me. None the less a fix is needed so I'm learning all my options.
Let's here some thoughts on how you guys would go about fixing the threads.
