    How to Get Self-Tightening Bolts Loose

    I have just completed building my first quad and I have used self-tightening bolts on the motor. However, now I need to change the first prop, but I cannot get the bolt loose. Does anyone have any tips to get the bolt loose (and I have double checked which way to loosen the bolt).

    So, some of you know I have this Flying 3D X8 that Gearbest sent to me with problems. It's looking like I am stuck with this so now I need to figure out what direction to go. I'd rather keep and build something with this if practical, but I will part it out if it makes more sense. The first...
