Last night I was cleaning my Boost buggy after running in the dirt over the weekend. I noticed that BOTH camber link ballstuds mounted to the axle carriers were loose. Again.
Attempting to screw them in did nothing... turn, turn, turn. Trying to back them out... turn, turn, turn. So the threads are completely stripped. I have to PUSH the ballstuds out. This is terrible. I've already switched to Hot Racing's front spindle carriers and the shoulder screws have stayed in!
I inserted new ballstuds and secured them with 4-40 nuts. Boom, done. I hope. But what a frustrating experience. Either the material is too soft or the thread bores are a tiny bit too large and don't let the ballstud thread in securely.
