What a rocky start
Ok, I have now replaced a flywheel, clutchbell, throttle gear and now I am staring at a new starter.
To top it all off somehow I stripped one of the screws that attached my motor.
I am like 10 tanks in and very frustrated with the tornado quality.
I am going to upgrade to the electric start. No big deal there. However, anyone have any suggestions for a stripped screw?

RE: What a rocky start
just wait till your engine is shot after 1/2 gallon of gas, and your clutch bell's 1st gear is completely shot.
gotta love a tornado.
but for a 150 bucks and my 1st nitro its not too bad.

RE: What a rocky start
Is it the screw's striped or are the threads striped and in both case's you can replace the screws with new one's and if the threads are striped then it depends on how much or how bad if they are just a little messed up then go head and slowly install the new screws and you should good to go, Here it comes if the threads are striped really bad you might be able to get a small tap to retap the threasds. Give it a try and ehroof is right I was just ading to is statment
