Okay, so I put an ax-10 together years ago without problems, but these stupid little 2x10mm allen heads will not thread into the AX80002 piece at all.

Got a body hole reamer? If so give it a turn to knock that corner off and it should thread in.

Put some muscle int oit. Press downward as you try to turn it in. They should go.

No body hole reamer but some light use of a 1/16th drill bit (used by hand) was a great solution. Thanks.

Yeah, I encountered the same thing with one of my Axials. Swearing at a 2 mm screw.

I'm laughing at it now. I was so mad I said locker instead of carrier in the thread title. The axles went smoothly after this but I haven't gotten much farther in the build, but with my daughter in town, the truck can wait.

i used an m2 screw with a 2.5mm head. not sure where i got it. i had to cut a little plastic under the teeth to fit. but i recently got this http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...&I=LXXBK3&P=ML which solved all my problems with those stupid little screws. man i hate screws that small.

I used a brand new x-acto blade and gave it a quick trim.
