RE: hardware supplier
for screws go to tonys screws. traxxas is a good place to get screws. most hobbie shops should have a display of a co called k & s. they arnt cheep, but some times thats the only place to get that stuff. also try looking in places you wouldnt think of. go to the lumber yard, look in the lumber section thyll have small pieces of steel for lumber, but you can cut them down to fit a RC truck. think outside the box. learn how to ask google for the item, not the brand name. ie "brackets" or "steel brackets" or "fittings". ie "air logic systems"
