Best design to ever come along.. I love torx. It's still a little uncommon which is unfortunate.. You can get hardware, just gotta look.. I'm slowly starting to convert over to torx hardware on my RC's. McMaster-Carr is a great place to start for hardware of all shapes and sizes.

The selection of torx heads are VERY slim at McMaster.

Not much use to you guys in the USA, but I found a supplier on ebay uk. prices are fairly good and torx is so much better than hex, especially on smaller sizes such as 3mm. He has countersunk and pan head from 2.5 up to 6mm in stailness. I'm replacing as much as I can on any rc I have
