We race a bunch of various Team Associated electric vehicles. I try to
keep a few of the common parts that we brake on hand.

I'm organizing my parts and see that I'm low on fasteners. Like screws
in button, cap, flat heads in various sizes...also nuts etc.

Is there a source that might have kits for specific vehicles that might
be a bulk purchase?

I tried finding such a beast on AE's site but they seem to only have
individual parts.

Hey, I tried this site after RC Car Action's review.  I bought the kit for
my tmaxx and rc10 gt.  I bought two kits of each. I stripped both trucks and
replaced all fasters with the new kit.  I keep the others for when they
shake loose and get lost.  I have not stripped one yet.  I think that they
are really good quality and thought is was a great product.  They come in a
small container that you can use for other things when your done.  They also
sell loose "lots" of each faster.  I do not work for them or get anything in
return, just a happy customer without a stripped screw on my trucks.  The
site is called www.rcscrewz.com

Thanks Robert.

It's difficult to tell, if I buy a specific vehicle "screw package".
like the $18.00 Associated T3 kit, what specifically comes with it?

Is it duplicates of the various fasteners used or one each of everything
on the truck?
Robert Gross - 11 Jan 2004 03:14 GMT
I hope this clears it up:

When you buy the specific kit, it comes with the L-shaped allen keys needed
for each fastener included in the kit.  Each kit is basically an exact
replacement for each and every fastener that is already used in the car that
you have.  So,  if your T3 kit originally came with, for example, 10 screws
and 10 nuts only; then the kit will be those exact 10 screws and 10 nuts
made out a stronger material and will only be hex/allen key fasteners.
Baisically it is an exact replacement for each fastener that originally came
in the kit.

You might want to check on Ebay.  I bought a big kit of stainless steel
bolts/nuts for my RC10GT, enough for several vehicles.  I needed steel for
nitro, but there are aluminum (and titanium) kits available as well for
alot cheaper than Associated (or hobby shop) prices.  Shop around a bit and
see if you can find something nice.

I think...  I think it's in my basement... Let me go upstairs and check.

I have found good prices on bulk and hard to find fasteners here.
