I had the screws going from my engine to my exhaust manifold vibrate out. I was looking to order them but wasn't quite sure on the part number. I found some with part #02094 www.redcatracing.com/RC-Cars/02094, But wasn't quite sure it is it. Also should add lock tite to these screws never really thought to since it was going through the engine wasn't sure that I should.

Status: offline 		Lock tite is always a good thing to use but the best thing that I know of is buy a screw a little longer than the ones it comes with and install a nut on the other side.........That doesn't come loose to often  good luck and HAPPY RC'en

Status: offline 		I have been having a problem with stripping and breaking the screws going through the chassis in to the engine mount. I would like to replace them with stainless hex if I can find them. Does anyone know what size they are off hand, or where I could find something like that?

Also, having some steering problems. The servo is pushing but something isn't letting it turn far. Seems to be happening since I installed aluminum arms. I tried loosening the ball screws in the joint, but that doesn't seem to help. Any ideas of what to try would be appreciated. Thanks!

Status: offline 		Go to your local hardware store and find something that fits. And as for the steering, its your servo saver, this thing- http://www.redcatracing.com/RC-Cars/02025 Whats happening is that its loose so when you turn it opens up, its supposed to do that incase you hit something and your wheels have to turn, so it doesnt ruin the servo. Tighten it using that metal piece and you'll be good.

Status: offline 		Those screws are 3mm. It's damn rare to find 3mm in a hardware store. Even if they have metric, very few go that small. And finding metric in stainless with a hex head at the hardware store??? No way unless you have the king of all hardware stores. Try your local hobby shop. You can also try McMaster-Carr. I think they have the widest selection of that kind of hardware, the prices are really good as long as you do not mind getting 25 or 50 or 100 instead of 2 or 4, and their search function is really good for finding what you want.

I would guess you want something like this or this or this although I am not sure about length. And if you are getting stainless because you want a stronger material,that may not be a good choice. In low profile socket head cap screws (the first link), for example, the class 8.8 steel actually has higher tensile strength than the 18-8 stainless version of the same screw. Check the material info on this and other catalog pages.

Status: offline 		Then you are truly blessed with an excellent hardware store. I wish I had a store that good near me. Most do not go down to 3mm, and if they do, it is very uncommon to find them in specialty types like stainless steel and hex head. Nonetheless, it is worth a phone call or stop to see if they have them near you. In my area, you are best to use the LHS if you want to pay more for fewer but want them right away. Otherwise, McMaster offers the best option.

Status: offline 		Thank you very much! I ordered some screws. I appreciate the help!

As for the steering, I don't think it is the servo saver, because even with it tightened all the way down, it doesn't want to turn, and my servo horn broke because it pushed so hard but wasn't able to move anything. By hand it seems to turn OK when disconnected from the servo, but maybe I am just not sure how it should feel. I am quickly getting used to how easily everything seems to work on my Lightning.

Status: offline 		I ordered 100 of 2 of the types of screws linked above, and they shipped very quickly, unfortunately they are all too long. Thread size is right though, so I guess I just need to keep looking. If anyone needs $13 worth of m3 screws and washers let me know.

Edit: placed another order for 8mm length. The ones I ordered previously were all 12mm.

Status: offline 		Hi guys, I have a Volcano and needed an engine for it, currently installing the vx.18 and need some new backplate screws...does anyone know the correct size of these screws, so that i can potentially find an alternative? They seem a strange size, under m3 but not m2.5?!!? I would measure mine, but dont have any....and cant find them anywhere in the uk.

I might have a guess at 2.6mm screws; they are smaller than 3mm and bigger than 2.5. Ugh!!! Think Traxxas do some of those, so can try them.... Thanks for the help buddy.
