|  Are your stock screws rusting?
Hey all, I'm trying to get my ride ready for a bit of trail running. Since this is my first ever Axial vehicle, I'd like to know if the stock screws are prone to rusting? For example, I have a Traxxas Summit and I know for a fact that those screws rust like crazy. On the contrary, I don't see this problem being mentioned by Axial owners. I'd like to save the money/hassle of buying a stainless steel screw kit if I can. Thanks.

They are metal screws, they will rust if you dont take care of your cars.

110% will rust. Team KNK hobby on Rpp hobby for stainless screw kit for vehicle type is a winner. Also the mega bag is very useful for a lot of spares for replacements and other rigs. |

Mine are rusting like champs. Lol. Im too lazy to replace every screw. None have rusted to the point causing problems.(yet). I have assorted stainless screws that will go in their place one a screw causes a problem. Sent from my XT1585 using Tapatalk |

Whenever I buy a kit, I get a stainless screw kit with it. This go round, I went with the KNK kit. It worked great. Besides not having to worry about rust, I never have to worry about replacing any hardware because I have all of the stock screws in my parts box. For $20 it's worth it, especially for scalers.

I clean my rigs with a dry paint brush (kind of a duster), then a toothbrush with a slight dose of synthetic grease (Permatex Ultra Slick Multi-Purpose Synthetic Grease, 85 g). Never had a screw rusting on me or a squicky driveline.
