whats going on guys just got back from out of town and thought id post a lil stuff on 10talk
so what you folks doing?

Not much of nothin for the past week.Got bitten by some bug,big knots on neck feelin weak.Don

That sucks Don, I have been havin a few beers, and gettin ready for F1 race in the morning.

Speed Channel blacks it out, how nice! Other than that, I have been trying to remove a screw from the bottom of my

TC4 chassis, got some parts in the mail for a replacement of the Motor mount and heat sink. I have destroyed five (yes five) 5, 1.5mm wrenches so far trying to remove a few screws.

Serious, 4-5 allen keys, and one expensive hex wrench. Any help here>?

I dremel tool it with cutoff wheel carefully then use flat tip screw driver get it out.oR DRILL the head of screw off then use visegrips get the threaded part out.DON

That might be the answer. These screws are the original from factory install, What a pain.

I am trying to replace the original motor mount, with an anodized alum Blue mount/ heat sink. Same goes for the top mount.

No reason to do it, other than I can, and It will look better, I guess.

Why should it be so hard to replace an original screw on a chassis? I can't even undo it... What a load!!

Sitting in my house in Kansas waiting for the tornadoes... and I work a 12 hour shift at 0600 hours

Sheesh, not a good thing.

My house is still standing and I'm tired as can be ... loo

Must be very well built, as my chassis is. The last two screws are still in the chassis...
