Default Hardware

Where you guys get your hardware. I bought the smallest thing the Depot had which was 6-32 and its still just a little too big for shocks and endlinks and such.

I have an ACE hardware that I go to. They have anything down to 3mm. When I need a lot of something I order from McMaster Carr. Way better prices if I can stand the wait for them to ship.

the "standard" size to use would be 4-40 and metric is M3. I get my stuff at our local ACE hardware but you can probably find some online too.

Default rainbow bolt supply

I have a place here by me in Colton, Ca. called rainbowboltsupply.com.
I am just fortunate enough to live close but they do do phone orders. its about .10 cents a pice which is dirt cheap. About 2.50 cents a crawler for all new hardware.

Alright. I forgot all about ACE. They closed the one by me but I think theres one about a half hour away. Which ones the size that comes with most of the R/C stuff, the 4-40 or M3?
