| Screws
Are there any replacement screws readily available for the MRC? I am hacking the little hexes (for example, the ones on the servo plate) to death. I pre-ordered a screw set from Horizon Hobby when the mrc first came out, but that still hasn't arrived. I'm looking for screws that don't suck. These stock screws are just too weak. |

My worry is the screw set is going to be the same junk. Maybe tony's screws will make a set. http://www.tonysscrews.com/product.s...57&productId=8 for the misi lst, though I hesitate to spend the money and find the ones that are stripping are not in the set. | |

he is right you just need the correct allen, that 1 screw thats on the servo plate is a standard 1/16" allen, for the mostpart all of the other screws/hex's on the MRC are metric. ive assembled and dissasembled 4 MRCs now about 20 times total.... and am still useing all the stock screws. but i agree you cant crank on the stuff like you are used to doing with larger models. so stop with the big meat grinders and be gentle.. - tre |

PS I'm using the right size allen. I refuse to believe these beautiful hands are to blame! | |
