HL tiger stuck roadwheels
Buddy of mine got an HL tiger for christmas, one of his roadwheels is stuck (not the suspension, just the wheel itself). I thought maybe loosening the hex screw on the side would do it, but it won't budge and I am worried about accidentally bending his arm or something while trying to. Advice?

The hex screw holds the pin that goes through the wheel to the suspension. If the pin is too short or is pushed too far towards the set screw there can be friction causing the wheel not to turn as easy. However, not turning at all is another thing. You might be best taking of the track first, then loosening that set screw, then removing the axle and road wheel. Then see if the road wheel will turn on the axle. If it will then positioning was the issue. If not, then remove the axle and see if there is some leftover plastic inside the road wheel.
If your wheel still wont turn and there was no left over plastic from the mold you may need to ream the hole a bit to make room for it to spin.
