well i recently broke the front skidplate on my emaxx, although this question is not about my emaxx.

so the skidplate broke in half, and i need to get the 2 broken parts out of the truck. one part is stuck in with screws that are taken out with those 6 sided hex "L" bars. now i have a whole set of L bars but the screws are in there so tightly i cant take them out. *** do i do i cant replace the broken part, should i just give away my emaxx?

If the screw heads are stripped, cut a slot in them with a dremel and a cutting disc.

Then use a flat head screwdriver to remove the screw :D

That works very well...I had to do it on the engine mounting screws on my XXX-NT as I stripped the hex on them. Just be careful and stay behind the line of the cut off wheel in the event it explodes, which sometimes happens with those small, cheap dremel wheels.
