McMaster Carr - satoch - 10-17-2005
If you guys don't know about McMaster-Carr you need to. http://www.mcmaster.com They sell every mechanical thing in the world!!
Example: I love my RPM A-arms on my Revo but because they are of a softer plastic than stock so the holes for the pivot balls elongate easily and then the balls back out. The solution? Metric threaded inserts specially designed for thermoplastics. They're cheap and now I'll be able to put thread lock on the pivot balls so they don't back out changing my camber settings. Why doesn't RPM supply them this way? I'm gonna ask them you can bet!
Anyhow, McMaster-Carr is a great place to find most anything you need to customize or modify you vehicle.

Grainger is another. And you can walk into Grainger and buy. They're in several locations. I have one in Downers Grove right by my office.

thats where I order all my screws for my RC from. for $2-5 you get 50-100 black oxide screws. hell for $50 you can get 50 of every screw on any RC. Imagine how much of a killing those RC screw kit sellers are making on each kit. I'm always buying stuff from them and http://www.onlinemetals.com/
