I ordered a set a few weeks ago for Uncle Ted, needless to say I ordered more...

First order went to replace the VP SLW's SHCS's. I was so impressed I started to look around for more uses for this hardware.

Ok I got my acorn screws and forgot to order the dang tool.. I had one from my rc4wd scale hex nuts and thought I read that the 3mm would work.. I won't.. So I ordered one in the mean time I did get one of the screws in my steelie and messed up one so I'll wait to finish the job until I get the tool.. Here the pic

All I did was drill and tap out the hub to 4-40 and had to open up the holes in the wheels to a 7/64th it works perfect.. You don't have to shorten the acorn screws or anything

A lot of you asked, so here they are:

Yup, longer 4-40 Acorn wheels studs, perfect for the VP XD hubs.

And for those wanting the regular size ... they are back in stock!
4-40 x .25" Acorn Wheel Studs

Just put my order through! I hope your feeling better Patrick! I meant to order the berry (blue) agile rings but the silver ones will do. Lol
