Post by Caine »

Does anywhere do stainless steel replacement chassis screws for the RC10 and 10T at all?

Most excellent, ordered from RCSCREWZ. Should have plenty of spares in there too.

Thanks guys your knowledge has helped me so much these past few months to get my rc's on the road!

And metric screws are 90 degrees. What kind of a maniac decided this? And McMaster lists both 82 and 100 for their 8-32 screws, depending on the length. I wonder what that's about.

I still need to pick up a 90 degree countersink, looks like a need a 100 degree as well. Fortunately they are not that expensive, and will last a long time.

as long as you don't get them near carbon or fiberglass!

Legit? I haven't noticed any problems, except the hole in this particular fiberglass I have isn't very true, but I'm not sure if it's the material that's very rough or the countersink bit wasn't that good to begin with.

composites are abrasive. they will wear tooling out faster than metals, but you would have to make a heap of countersunk holes before you'd really notice.....though they won't cut as sweet after the first dozen times or so they will get the job done.
