im helping my dad build his honcho i have a scx10 kit the very first one that came out..... so im helping him build his and theres screws misssing....... has this happened to anyone else

dougman51 · 12-31-2009, 04:26 PM

sure it's missing screws?, the original kit came with mixed hardware and the honcho comes with full hex hardware so they will be a little different than yours.

punkuup5150 · 12-31-2009, 04:52 PM

no mine was missing a few screws. and had a few they were not the correct ones. i ended up having the extra hardware to fix it but i did have the same thing happen to me.

KSCrawler · 12-31-2009, 05:08 PM

My kit was missing 2 of the AXA435 M3x10mm tapping button heads, and I ended up up with a few AXA438 M3x18mm tapping button heads left over. I belive my shortage was discovered around Step 50. Same situation?

darthsideous · 12-31-2009, 06:10 PM

i had a similar problem, although im missing about 6 screws. didn't have enough for the servo mounts to be installed

tj on 37s · 12-31-2009, 06:15 PM

i am in the same boat. i think i have 6 missing so far also. i tryed calling them but they are only open limited hours through the hoildays.

JTank70 · 12-31-2009, 08:08 PM

So Far I have one missing, or at least it wasn't where it was supposed to be.
I am not very far into the build and the missing screw was one of the M2x6mm to install a shock reservoir. I borrowed one from another bag.

It might be in one of other bags for all I know at this point.

I to was missing screws in my sons Honcho, but I was lucky enough to have extra hardware from other Axial kits to make up for the missing parts...

MostlyBS · 12-31-2009, 08:52 PM

I found the same thing on mine too. But I'll have it sorted.
Bit average if it's this common though

John74_UK · 01-01-2010, 05:49 AM

Yep had the same thing here, think they may have been in a rush to get these kits out before christmas. Either that or who ever is packing the screws carn't count.

4drmopar · 03-19-2011, 09:55 PM

Oh I'm missing a dozen or more! AndI love how the instructions were all screwed up, calling apart a certain # off a certain parts tree, only to find its on a differnt tree and number all together...they really screwed the pooch on proof reading and QC for actual parts count....

[707]KRU · 03-20-2011, 03:27 AM

i agree i just got mine two days ago and i had many things wrong with mine aswell

4drmopar · 03-20-2011, 06:23 AM

Did you have the issue with Rod Ends too?? totally labeled wrong etc??Missing ALL my hardware to assemble the cage and bed, and no screw for teh radio box and a few others.. I emailed Axial late friday night, figure give them a chance to replace them. There was a day where I would have just hacked in Tamiya screws or what not, but, being 36, I've learned SOME patiance lol. That and I just have been beating my Lunchbox to death instead.....love that goofy bugger!

Larryb · 03-20-2011, 09:46 AM

I am also missing some screws from my kit. Ill shoot Axial an email tomorrow and hopefully they will send it

paintchip31 · 03-20-2011, 10:18 AM

I just started putting mine together last night and I am missing parts to this sucks.

gr8_outdoors · 03-20-2011, 11:44 AM

I just finished buliding my chassis and am ready for electronics and I was also missing some screws (AXA434 - M3x8mm hex socket tapping button head). I didn't have any of this type. Luckily my local hobby shop can get items next day if i tell him before lunch, so I just called him up and bought a 10-pack. I was going to call Axial, but didn't want to wait a week for them to ship me some from CA. They were only $2. I also noticed some of the part callouts were incorrect in the manual, but I figured it out. I was surprised to see these mistakes, but things happen.

adamatmap · 03-20-2011, 12:15 PM

Definitely missing about 4-5 screws in mine. Thank god I have a box full of countersunk/button head flat black screws.

4drmopar · 03-23-2011, 01:47 PM

I emailed back and forth with Axial and they are sending me a pile of screw hardware (I hope) to take care of mine. I also gave them a heads up on the mis identified parts in teh assembly manual.... honestly, if you find an issue,email them, so far, seemed very receptive to making things good!

nice to find, in ANY industry

monsterman · 03-23-2011, 02:22 PM

My SCX10 kit was missing some hardware as well a few emails to Customer Service and I had a package at my front door.. Axial has superb customer service.. Give them a call or drop CS an email..

rc dreemer · 03-23-2011, 02:27 PM

i have never heard this before. does it seem only related to the "kits" or also the "rtr" models? so if you email/call do you have to provide some kind of "proof of purchase"???? cause i know they sell all the items too..
