If you look long enough you can find stanless ones on ebay for cheap. ALso if you are still using the stock wrenches ditch those.

There are many grades of stainless steel out there, some better for screws than others. So dont assume that just because it is stainless that its better.

Hardware stores work really well and have a tendancy to be about 1/10th the price..............I go to king Bolt and order bulk boxes of 500 or 1000 for almost the same price as a couple of 10 pack bags of Traxxas screws[sm=71_71.gif]

| as the guy says above take one of each of the different screws to a hardware/nut&bolt supplier an they'll set you up for super cheap, you should be able to choose what material you want, the type and probably the colour too.

I went to a hardware store and asked for so small metric screws and they said we dont carry that size.

yeah, not all stainless is good. I got rc concepts screw kit, and Im stripping the wrench. its like the stainless is too strong. I use Dynamite drivers, so its not like I have Harbor freight junk. I went back to traxxas. Ill prolly goto a supplier next time 'round

Get a good set of metric allen wrenches and you shouldn't have a problem.
