Default headache!?!

I love the way my lst 1 runs there isnt much that can pass me on the track until something on my turnbuckle breaks like a screw just that small little screw that holds it by the tire this happens just about every race i see other trucks cartwheeling landing right on the rim a dozen times and they just keep going and going but me i hit the piping one time or another truck hits me and im out of the race ***!! is it possible the 40 series rims and tires are my problem? where can i get a titanium screw kit? any help would be appreciated

could get hexscrews if you havent already.

or titanium screws.

Im assuming youve got rpm a-arms and aluminum carriers and spindles. otherwise I dont know how in the heck your shearing that screw off without breaking something else first.

has this happened more than once? stuff breaks man, and thats a heavy wear area. it could have been weakened by repetative abbuse

The mip cvd's are garbage, do you have the rc screws stainless steel kit? Casue if you do, that is the problem, biggest piece of junk i have ever seen marketed.

unfortunatly youve kinda set yourself up for the screw to fail. replace it and you'll ask why the hinge pins or ball ends keep failing. SOMETHINGS gonna give.
