Stripped threads on Tamiya cars

Holes on the Tamiya plastic parts strip quickly.

The plastic body parts are too weak to withstand frequent screw and unscrew operations.

When there is a stripped screw hole, the best thing to do would be to insert a small toothpick into it prior to tightening the screw. I learned this trick from those who repair homes.
