Find a dremel with the cut off wheel, and cut a slot in the screw so that you can get a flat head driver on it......and cut it with the thin disk if it is a small screw.

problem is one of the screws head is ripped off so there is no place to use a dremel tool and cut a slice in it to use a flathead screwdriver. is there any tool to use for sumthing like this besides a dremel tool?

The only thing I can think of off the top of my head is to drill it out or replace the part.

well the screw that is messed up is in one of the steering bars that go from the skidplate to the chassis (on the t-maxx) and the screw goes into one of them supposively you can buy them at the rc-shop so i will go and pick one up tomarrow and just cut between the steering bar thing and the skidplate then the two parts of the screw will come apart and i will be able to put the new bars back on and install the skid with only spending 4 bucks. so i appreciate your help but i got it figured out now thanks anyways
