You can keep a set of screws and nuts around when you go play. If you glue'em, you might have problems when you want to dismantle the car for cleaning.

The worst that happened to me was loosing one wheel nut, and having to pack everything up and go home because I didn't have one to replace it and keep the wheel in place.

Status: offline 		hi again magic, did it arrive then? i will use t-maxx parts but i havnt needed to try and fit any yet. i may need to tho as you will prob read lol. I have broke the left rear stearing arm. the bit where the scrw goes into is realy thin and weak. however i superglued it where it had cracked aaround the screw (the small creasnt shaped peice of plastic was still around the screw inside the ball end which is connected the stearing column shaft so i had it to glue back to the rest of the stearing arm after i had removed the screw. then after the super glue had set i fixed the shaft back to the arm, however this alone would not stand up to the beating it would get so i used something which is made by loctite which you work in the palm of your hand to a soft plasticine consistancy, then in 10 mins it sets hard as realy tough plastc, so that did the trick. other than that iv ran half a gallon of fuel through no probs although i still havent got it tuned exactly right just yet!

I am considering trying to do a reverse upgrade but i havent heard of any1 who has done it yet so i dont know. I have a spare servo and thereis always t-maxx parts going on ebay so its a poss.

It is difficult to import parts from europe.
