Clod or Shafty based?

This is for a Clod based crawler.

If it's for a shafty, just eliminate the wiring for the extra motor.

I use an inexpensive 60 watt soldering iron from the local hobby shop.

Try Radio Shack, they carry inexpensive soldering irons.

you would have to buy a stripped screw extracter kit and do it that way.

You can try using a dremel to notch the head of the screw, and then use a flathead screwdriver to remove it.

If the screw sticks out a little try to get a pair of needle noised vice grips around it. I have dont that before. Or you can get a larger sized screw driver and try to hammer it into the screw and then screw it out.

As for your suspension what type of crawler do you have? Also you can check out www.rccrawler.com their forum is awesome! They can help you with almost aything!
