yep. stainless screws strip, bend and gaul. they would probably be ok for a crawler but i changed my savage over to stainless and then proceded to bend them like crazy. the heads seem to lose form alot easier too. | |

| Are you sure you guys don't mean Aluminum screws? Like the colored ones? I've used Stainless in all my cars and never had a problem and I have a Stampede with all stainless hardware that gets abused bad! |

| You guys must just be dorks. SS has plenty of tensile strength My savage has been through hell and back. Its my sole basher. I used to get mad at it when it broke and I would bash even harder till it wouldn't move. I've gone 30-0 into various objects plenty of times. Only time i messed a screw is when I didn't hit it dead strait on w/ the allen wrench or torqued too much. I'm sure 10 in-lbs is plenty to hold her in. |

| I'd have to agree, they must be just plated Stainless screws. I've never had an issue with stainless hardware. |

| perhaps its just rc screwz that suck. Or maybe i got a bad set, i have seen positive and negative reviews on stainless and i am just speaking from personal experiance. i went with tony screws and never looked back  Last edited by kurt; 03-15-2008 at 03:07 PM. |

| a picture is worth a thousand words. stainless is too soft. even with hex heds, they still strip out. I had the same kit on my savage and I have had problems with the heads stripping on screws that are not "set and forget". I heard fastnal had the M3 screws as well. you can buy a bulk pack of 20mm and cut them to size. I have so many spares from replacing parts on my AX10 that I don't know what to do with them all. For upgrade, I like the button head personally, less to catch on... |
