I prefer the black oxide steel hardware also. I've gotten some screw kits from rpp hobby and tonysscrews.com is good also.

X2 rust has always been an issue for me when using black oxide. at times it gets so bad that the socket itself gets stripped because of said rust. and if anyone is wondering, i only use hobby grade tools when i work w/ my rc stuff |

That's the key to making the stainless hardware last longer. GOOD drivers with the ends ground from tool steel is the way to go IMO. I use a little of both,stainless and black oxide. Eventually,they'll all wear out. | |

mostly black oxide metric hardware, the Comp Crawler and Legends car the are the only SAE RC's I've ever owned. Don't like RCScrewz stuff either, especially if you need a 2mm or smaller wrench to remove them!

I use good tools, Dynamite ground and Hudy... For some reason don't mind the WD-40 on a Q-tip touch up from time to time. But I'm not a scaler or basher...so obviously thats not as big issue for me. Though I see the point there. As a racer though I've bent many a SS screw, and that is not an option. |

I have been slowly changing all my screws over to these...no more stripped out hexes and they look cool... I get them from a local distributor... |

Actually 1.48 pence. It is .1 cent of a euro or actually 100 screws for 1 euro up to M3x25mm then it is ~1.2 cent per screw or 100 screws for 1.19 euros. This is a hardware factory outside Athens and I buy wholesale at least 500 pieces of each size (box) at least 10 different sizes. That is 5000 pieces minimum  . As I said they only have cap heads black oxide metric screws but in every possible thread.Quote:

Those are pretty cool, I bought the RCScrews set and have used almost every screw in it, now i just use the box and keep refilling it with screws from McMaster as i use them up. Quote:

I buy all metric hardware, and source from McMaster. (Their Chicago Warehouse is 10 minutes from my office) Their SS stuff is good, but I prefer the Black Oxide just because it is a little harder, and does not round out as easily. It is nice to be able to get all my Delrin stock, Polycarbonate sheets, and Screws all at the same place. VERY handy.
