You could buy a thread kit for a couple clams and thread it.

I got same issue too.
Difference is I live in NZ. Shipping it back AND paying for return postage would out weigh cost of new parts. AND take up to two weeks

A nice email to Tekno with pics and explanations of said dilemma and they were very kind to just send me new cup. Good on you Tekno!!

While it takes 24hr for a full cure, Lock-tite is generally strong enough to use in an hour or two.

Same thing happened to me, I called and left a message but haven't heard back yet. I guess email is the way to go.

MIP is SUPER RESPONSIVE, not only can you speak with an engineer when you call during business hours, they send parts faster than any other manufacturer I have dealt with (rc related or not). Just saying.

Never said the product was lighter or cheaper, but then I guess you get what you pay for if we are gonna be snarky!!! Just a little info to share that someone may decide the weight is not that much of an issue.
