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.
