Hello all. It's been a long time since I've been here due to everyday life. With working 6 days a week, going to the gym 3 times a week and other things, I had the most unproductive rc season since 2009. I normally run about 10 tanks in my Baja but this season I've only ran 3. So I'm looking forward to a better season in 2017 and I'm done running for the year with a workplace injury(broken ankle). Before I got hurt I was trying to repair my savage .25 and I removed the clutch bell to upgrade it. The bearings need to be replaced but I was going to wait until next season. So when I put it back together, the screw head broke off leaving the screw in the crankshaft. Has anyone had this happen to them? I was thinking of taking it to a machine shop to have the screw extracted but being that there's not much to work with, I'm open to ideas of how to remove it. On the other side, a new crank is around 85 bucks on Ebay and since this is a used engine, I'll probably upgrade to an HPI .28 for around 120 to 150. Thanks in advance for the replies.
