Hey I found of all things two of the screws in my old airplane stuff!!! Okay now do I set the set screw on the part inside where it is flat or just screw it in any where?

Well, Blue beat me to the drive cup advice, but I wanted to let you know one of mine fell off yesterday! Fortunately I noticed there was a problem when my truck wasn't hooking up and spinning the front wheels like crazy. I picked it up to take a closer look and the rear diff cup and rear driveshaft/dogbone were just sitting there between the engine and throttle/brake servo. Luckily I didn't lose either of them and the set screw was still in. I fixed it in like 10 min. without even taking anything apart! LocTite is a Nitro R/C's best friend...

Yes most for sure both the front and rear one's fell out. So now I have two tube's of locktight hitting the track in the AM right now I am watching thease dumb sick pup's on date line they should take them out back and cut their sh#t off right there and right then[sm=punching.gif]
