Default engine screws

I have a hpi rs4 3 .18ss and am having a hard time with these screw cutting away. I meen, i put 5 new screws in and go wun it for a few hours. Then, when i get home and go to take it apart to clean it, these screws or filed down. I have to cut a slit in them every time. Was just wondering if there is anyway to stop this from haponing. thanks

So they are like dragging? Just screw it in so that it is flush or indented into the chassis. If you are unable to do this go get your father or someone very strong to turn really hard.

Thanks,
Elliott

You may want to raise your chassis a little to cut down on the scraping. The scraping is inevitable. I too had the same problem; I recently changed out the screws to hex heads.

Not sure what you or saying. I guess i could get my "wife" or "2 year old son" or even my "1 year old little girl" to do it right?
