Some of the guys with that chassis may be able to tell you for sure what sizes they've used, but for the most part I would just go get several of each size. Anytime I start a new build I go clean the local Ace out on all their 3mm and 4-40 button head and socket head screws. I try to always get at least 8-10 of every length, and it still doesn't cost more than $10 for the most part. Never know when you may need extras, so it's always good to have a variety anyway.

3x 0.5mm bolts... get sizes like 5, 10, 15, 20, 25,30 mm long... that is a good selection, and covers most lengths used frequently( for me atleast)...

I have put 2 ax10s together and just ordered another kit. I did need to get some 3mm locknuts ($3 for 100) but most everything I needed was in the kit. There are other vendors that sell kits too.
