Hardware list quantities

[dglewis89]

I wanted a quantity of hardware so I could get stainless. Here's my count for anyone to use.

Google Sheets LINK

Note:This was a quick count, please ensure your own quantities before ordering. I did each section by exploded view, so some screws might be double counted. Also, stainless is usually softer that the stock black oxide screws, but I like to keep everything rust free. I also only ordered cap head screws so they're more durable.

If you find any errors or have questions let me know.

I was able to get almost all the hardware I need plus a bunch extra for about $40 shipped.

Mind sharing where you ordered the hardware from?

The owners of RC Screwz is an asshole. Avoid that company at all costs. If you have an issue he gets cranky and complains about having to send you a few screws. that guy and that company!

Plus, piecing the stuff together yourself is so much cheaper and it only takes minutes.

because the $40 he posted (while also saying that wasn't everything needed) is cheaper than the $30 i did? your maths confuse me

What you posted was $40 as well. And you still have to deal with a jackass.

I saw that you stated that, but the actual link you posted said $40.

When you buy RC screw kits you are paying a premium for the convenience of somebody else putting the kit together for you. I used to buy those and sometimes still do when I'm in a hurry. But if you piece it together yourself you will get a lot more screws for the same money. Give it a try sometime.

I agree to stay away from RC Screwz, I've tried the kits and the screws are junk, super soft. And the RC Screwz kit on eBay is $42.20 shipped for me, more than I spent on my custom picked order. I also have a around 150 extra screws, so yeah. The screws I got look awesome and seem to be good quality. If you don't want to assemble your own kit, I'd also recommend KNK.

I just received my order from rcscrewz...the ups envelope was fine but when i ripped it open it was completely empty no screws or packing slip!!! It's been three days and I received a text message today that basically rcs is not responsible that they wouldn't ship a empty package and I have to argue with ups now.... If it wasn't for the fact I needed 3mm x 4mm stainless screws I wouldn't have bought from rcscrewz. I bought ever 3mm stainless that boltdepot.com had (100 of each size) and didn't even spend 50 bucks!!!! I changed out all three scx10's and now am switching the rest of my rc vehicles, placed another order tonight with boltdepot.com and ordered a ton of A2 stainless bolts nuts washers for my 1:1 pickup too

you couldn't tell an envelope was empty by holding it? would have been a lot easier to refuse delivery at that point and had it shipped back. then you would have had a leg to stand on against rcscrewz
