    Why? It's only the cheesium align bolts that are an issue, normal allen bolts from any other source are fine and won't strip out.

        not saying this is true for everybody, but very often the rounding of bolt heads can be down to using very poor quality allen drivers. If you buy yourself a proper professional set it's a lot more difficult to round out the bolt heads. I've only rounded one on my 700 and this was mainly due to Trev's 'supergrade' locktite that we used when building it, every screw done up with it I literally shake with the strain of undoing.

            Dont buy from an RC place. Although they sell some good quality stuff (Hudy) its very expensive.

            Get a snap-on or bhondhus set and they will last for years

            One thing from my RC cars days is make sure you using the correct driver, many metric and imperial sizes are very similar, and although you can problably use them you will round off your screws after a few times.
            This was a very common problem for beginners with cars made in the US with imperial screws.
