The screws holding the gearboxes together were very tight on one of our boxes. Tight enough that when the kids used a slightly ill-sized phillips driver, they stripped the heads pretty quickly and we had to drill them out. For those that are curious, they are 3M metric screws, and I believe about 28mm long on the 1:16 and 1:25 gearboxes.
