Default Mini c-clips

does anybody know a good way to instal those mini c-clips into into the spindels suspension arms because i tried for a while yesterday and all i achieved was slicing my finger open. i just put dabs of solder on the tips of the spindles temporairly.

this has been a problem fr years lol
there made to be left on...

the way i do it is i slide the rod though just enough so that the cutout shows through the end, then i place the clip right there and press it on with plyers...

i got it down to a science now lol and ye i used to mess my fingers up.. and givin i have huge hands makes it harder lol

I broke some of my clips too. I think the hardest thing is getting them off. Is it that difficult for team losi to spend a little more money and replace them with screws? Just a thought
