You may wanna try using a dremel wheel cutter and cut out a new slot... using a flat head screw driver should solve that problem :cool:

Try wd-40 to loosten them first, then unscrew them.

what he said. Also, when getting a screw out get some good drivers and take it slow!

Its probably the bits on your tools. The ones associated includes with their kits arent very strong. I suggest trying new tools before cutting into your screw heads. The same thing has happened to me before.

It also could be that you use the Blue Aluminum(this is because i am assuming that you have the factory team version)which is not nearly as strong as steel or Titanium.

TiScruz are titanium screws from Lunsford, which are jsut awesome, but cost a buck for a set. There are other places that sell steel screws, and stainless steel, etc.

If you would like to get some stainless, i know that SirSpeedy here on this bb has his own company, GetScrewed, who sells them for about 20 bucks a kit. They are sweet looking too, they are machined, and shiny!

Congrats on reaching 1500 posts, XXXER. I never knew SirSpeedy had his own company... does he have a website?

Obi112, thanks!

Yes, he does have a company, no, no website yet, Just don't put that name in, with the dubbya dubbya's and the dots, k? :D

We will just say that name has been taken. You can get a hold of him through this BB, i forgot his e-mail addy, but just go to the XXX Forum, and he can help you, I am sure.

B3 Boy, those screws are the problem, they are not very strong, find some steel ones.
