hiya all,
am about to start finally building up my nix91, and realised that although i have gotten all the plastics, shocks, hinge pins, ball studs, track rods etc etc im missing one rather important part.... screws lol, im not a fan of stainless so will be hunting for high tensile. 3 questions
1 is there a simple to find screw list (before you say it i have tried multiple searches on here without success)
2 ive read that some of the screws have a different countersunk angle so what is correct at this point
3 do any of you know of a non stainless set i can buy
Best I have ever found is Team KNK. They come with the correct 100* screws and although the large screws are still stainless, the rest of this kit is black oxide like the originals. They give you extra screws and it fits multiple versions of the buggy. I am not aware of any company that includes the original style aluminum screws.
It's time to stand up to the bully. Support the companies that support the industry, not the ones that tear it down. Say no to Traxxas Factory Works website
I'll add that the aluminum 8-32 screws are tough to come by, the newer ones from associated are really green and terrible. I run all my cars with stainless 8-32 screws instead in the aluminum ones unless I am doing a replica or shelf build.
thanks guys, have gone for a black oxide knk set and will find some additional black larger versions on the bay
cant wait to get building it now as is an amazing piece of kit
Does anyone know what size allen wrench/hex is needed for the set screw on the lower front shock mount on a cadillac era RC10 buggy? I have the manual but this is not listed in the tool section at the beginning or on the step where this is...

If your talking about the screw that retains the pin holding the shock to the arm on a short arm car, it's an .050
I am assembling the CVA kit 6371 and following the re-release World's kit instructions and I'm a bit confuzzed. It looks like they give you the option to use the pin retainer ring or use the 4-40 set screw. --- Note: Remove pin retainer to prevent...

The setscrew can offset the pin in the assembly and cause binding.
I don't use the set screw. I use tiny drops of CA glue to lock the gap on the retainer clip 90 degrees to the cva pin.
Does OT-56 Aluminium Tapping Screw Set include those 4 M2.6x8 screws that holds servo mount (part number 90)?

It looks like Kyosho used to sell a pack of M2.6 x 8 thread forming screws, for reference. Kyosho Par Number 1-S02608TP, or KYO1-S02608TP for online resellers.
Does anyone know if Trinity made an equivalent screw set for the XX/XXT like the Factory Team Associated one. I cant recall Trinity ever making the long blue transmission screws...
Here's the FT one:

The Trinity kit is rare..... :mrgreen: but they do come up from time to time!
My grub screw fell out of my anti roll collar.
I have tried a 3mm set screw, 256, 440.
None fit, does anyone know what size it is or where I can get a replacement?

2.5mm...? Then you've definitely not got the stock sway bar end. Those set screws are probably going to be really tricky to find. You're probably better off ordering the sway bar ends to make things easier.
I'm starting my 2nd restoration - a TQ10 - and I pretty much need all new screws for it. I have seen this set (below), but I'm wondering if there may be a cheaper set elsewhere without the flashy blue anodize. The blue is cool, but I'd be willing to...

Fiero,
Fastener-Express.com is good quality, same as McMaster, although I've had a little bit of inconsistancy from each place to be honest (I find you get a couple lousy hexes our of each hundred no matter where you buy from)
My Turbo Optima re-re assembly was going swimmingly, yet just as I was hitting my stride around step 16, I hit my first real snag. If I address the problem now, I think it’ll mean tearing apart the whole front-end to replace the entire front gearbox...

Finally got those aluminum radio plate holder thingies - they went on a heckuva lot easier than the stock ones and actually eliminate that nut that I stripped. Very happy with that purchase. Pics attached. Now I just have to get motivated to finish...
living overseas, sourcing standard hardware is a bit of a PITA... and when restoring cars I don't want to waste days for a missing screw that I don't have in my assortment! So turnkey screw sets are the solution ;) What other manufacturers...

I've been trying to get these in the UK too. I've found to be the cheapest I could find.
