Product FAQs

Do the screw kits come with Wood Type / Plastic Type Coarse Thread Screws?

Precision Machine Threads screws replace the stock "wood type screws" - Machine screws have (3) Times the thread for SUPERIOR hold! The machine screws provided are the same length and diameters of the coarse type screws they are replacing.

Do RCScrewZ kits come with 1.6mm, 2mm and 2.5/2.6mm micro screws?

Yes they do - Our 2mm and 2.5mm come is socket, button and counter sunk head types. Certain lengths 16mm and longer - button head screws are replaced with socket/cap head type - we do this because of overall length, type of material they are used in - this helps prevent stripping of button heads. The 1.6mm screws are only offered in socket/cap heads, which are used in place of button heads...

Are stainless screw stronger than the stock screws that come with the cars/truck/heli kits from the manufacturer?

Yes - we use A2-70/A4-80 Stainless Steel Screws (Button, Socket & Countersunk Heads) Set Screws, Nuts & Washers. They are stronger than stock steel screws but not as strong as titanium.

Why are some screw lengths in my kit longer/shorter than needed?

RCScrewZ screws are produced to standard manufacturing lengths (no odd lengths i.e. 23mm, 39mm and so on). We will included longer screws which can be trimmed down to the manufacturers length (i.e. threading a nut on the screw, using a dremel or cutoff tool and trimming screw to length, and them removing nut to clean the threads for use). Also some kits call for, example, a 26mm length as to where a standard length of 25mm will work the same in most applications.

Why use stainless? What are the benefits?

RCScrewZ screws are stronger than stock screws - which helps prevent stripping. Stainless screws are rust resistant and provide a great polished look to any car, truck and heli.

Do all RCScrewZ kits come with a storage case and complete set of wrenches for installation?

Yes all screw and bearing kits come with a reusable storage case and all screw kits come with a complete set of Bondhus short arm allen wrenches. RCScrewZ recommends getting a Precision/Quality Set of Wrenches (Perferred are the sets by MIP, Losi, Aasociated & Hudy). These sets offer precision ground tips for a better fit in the screw heads.

What if I only need a couple types of screws not a complete kit – can I buy just the sizes I need?

We sell screw kits (100% replacement for any vehicle), BULK KITS - for spares or bulk building or INDIVIDUALLY - just in case you need one size!

Do you screw kits included pins / screw pins / yoke drive set pins?

Our kits do not include any machined collared screws or screw pins (pins with threads on the end). These are machined ground and hold a tolerance - also most manufacturers hold patents (or patent pending) on parts used on their products.

Where do you find the screw locations for RCScrewZ kits?

The manuals or schematics can be found the vehicles manufacturers website - they give screw type and location, or if rebuilds/repairs are the process then the removal and replacement method is used.
