Cancelled my flathead screw order from Amazon and snagged an assortment from Tony's screws. Also grabbed an Akro Mills storage cabinet for them, which also has some much needed drawers for my small files, cutting tools, and other small hand tools.20 each to 20mm. 22mm and up 10 each.

Yeah, I am a freakin' screw hoarder. Worst thing that can possibly happen is I don't have a screw I need. I'll break stuff if that happens 😡

It's very handy to have an assortment. It's very annoying when one screw holds up a project.

Like I am currently facing right now 🤬

I just lightly installed a buttonhead to hold the rear trailing arm to the chassis so I could finish getting the shocks installed. New screw assortment should be here in a few days.

But...
My dumbass actually had the screw. I was looking in the wrong spot 😅

I buy my screws in bulk, direct from a fastener specialist these days. Their better quality and better value. I used to order Arrma screws from ebay but that gets expensive.

Is that your upside down version of McMaster industrial grade stuff? 😆

I'm sure you guys in the mine industry use the best you can get. In machining most shops here use McMaster, but a few shops I was at had Fastenal. Fastenal actually came around and refilled the bolt bins on a weekly basis, which was nice.

You know what screw is used on 1.9 bead locks? I tried 4x and got screwed each time.🤣 I'm in the middle of upgrading screws too.

I don't have any 1.9 beadlocks that use screws like that, but I would look around RC4WD and see if any of their beadlocks mention the size.

What do the holes measure with your calipers?
 
Looks like they have all jumped in price to the $150.00 range for the brushless four wheel steer versions. :eek: Glad I ordered when I did.
@TeknoJ if I follow that link and click on the brushless it's showing $146.00 ish.

No way! 🤷‍♂️ I suppose the few that ordered one promptly got the best price! There were 3 of us?
