Hi guys I recently got the Exceed 1/10 Buggy.  It's my first nitro RC car so I decided to go cheap.  Actually got one for myself and one for my brother in law.
I let my brother in law try it out and first thing he did was smash it into a curb.  He broke his as well later on.
So the front lower suspension arm broke and I have to replace it.  I received a new one and am stuck because I'm not sure how to remove the front shock absorber from the arm.
If you take a look at this pic http://site.exceedrc.com/resource/product/51c06-13.jpg you should see where I'm stuck.  The shock absorber is attached to the arm, and there's no easy screw to allow it to come off.
Does anyone know what I sohuld do?

Small picture, but looks like a grub screw in there.  Did you try using a hex wrench to get it out?
