Aluminum Hardware

[jeeper_05]

I am being lazy today, and was thinking maybe someone already had a list so I didn't have to make one...

Anyone have a list of aluminum hardware sizes for the axles? Using all VP goodies...

Be careful using the aluminum hardware in areas that you need to really tighten. I've had the heads strip out and snap off. RC4WD has a lot of titanium hardware cheap.

I bought 3x10 3x15 3x20 button heads, 3mm lock nuts and #4 washers from fastener express. With some creative dremeling on a few screws, I was able to replace about 75% to 80% of the hardware on my rig.

As was mentioned before, be aware that the Al screws will pop their heads off at the worst possible time if you aren't careful.

Have fun dieting.

I was looking at the titanium screws on rc4wd and noticed they are a grade 2 , don't u want a higher # for durability as my buddy has bent some of these on his upper vp link mount
