Just about all the TMaxx screws are M3....

OOOOOhhhhhhhhhhhh... that would explain why when I used a 2.5 tap to clean the thread, it f'd them all up... stupid half metrics.

Oh yeah, thanks.

Olds MT is correct the screw sizes are 3mm and the 8,10,12,16 long.

OkIhost McMater.com is a great spot to purchase your screws but its best if you go in on it with someone else you will have enough screws to last 10 tmaxxs if you go alone. I went in on it w/my brother in law with the black 12.9 screws they hold up great. Also its a real pain in the butt to find the 5mm flange nylock nuts for your wheels so dont loose em!.

I just picked-up a set for my SS build and am really happy with them. I really like the way all the screws are separated by size in little baggies and are clearly marked with a label. Now I am going to get a set for my Maxx from them.

guys we are blessed by having a place called ace hardware... they got it all (well the one in huntsville is like a super ace hardware) they have EVERY kind of screw ever even thought of making, in every version, finish and color. and u can get (based on weight(mostly, some of the really nice screws are more expensive) its about .07$ a screw, and they are nice and u can get nicer ones for more than .07...its the deal of deals

Just picked up a set from a fellow on eBay.

All alloy screws. Comes in a nice locking plastic container with dividers, and everything is seperately bagged. The inside lid is labeled with sizes and approximate locations where different lengths or types of screws should be used...

Only $17.50. :thumbup:

my inner cheapskate is smiling
