I think he means stripping the treads.
There is no need to do thingsd up as tightly as most people do. Just nip things up and use a good quality thread lock, all will be fine.
The only problem with the Hyper I have is that I think the gap in the wishbone the shock bottom goes in is too narrow ... takes ages to convince it to all fit together!!

I will give it a whirl with the lock tight so I don't have the same problem. And your right I probably was a little over excited when I tightend the screws.

When i first got my Hyper 7 PBS, I was excited and took it out and ran it. Went through break in and then when I could really let it rip - Lost a lot of screws on first few runs on the car.
Learned my lesson on to always take a new car even if it is a RTR and loc-tite everything before running it.
