    Stainless steel screw set

    Does anybody know where you could buy a set of all the commonly used screws and bolts for RC boats.

    Never seen a boxed set, but this place has just about everything you could need. They might have generic boxed rc hardware sets at hobby shops but I imagine you would be paying a lot of $ per piece. Never looked for such a thing. Same as bearings, I always buy from a bearing supply house. No markup for a "brand name" eg Kawi quoted me 40$ for swing arm bearings, same NSK part number from Peterborough Bearing 12$! No Kawi box though.....

    McMaster-Carr is the complete source for your plant with over 595,000 products. 98% of products ordered ship from stock and deliver same or next day.

      For many years hobbyists and engineers have relied on Micro Fasteners' inventory of affordably priced socket screws, machine screws, locknuts, washers, sheet metal or self tapping screws, wood screws, other fasteners and related items in U.S. and metric sizes.

        Thanks for the links guys! What would you suggest as the most commonly used sizes if I was to stock up?

              Looks like a good place, just added the bookmark.

                What perfect timing....I was just going to ask where people got their hardware.
                I left Ace yesterday $26.00 poorer with 18 metric stainless screws/washers/nuts...my butt still hurts!!

                I just placed a $37 order on microfasteners for 80-100 metric stainless screws/washers/nuts and some blind nuts thrown in!

                THANKS GUYS!!!!

                  37$ for 80-100 SS metric screws/washers/nuts?

                  Here in germany we can get these a little cheaper:


                  Without the VAT this 800pcs set is 13$ + shipping!! Sadly the shipping will be the expensive part about it. But it could be still within the 37$ and you get a little more screws. Maybe you should think about a centralized order. I buy everything from this shop in stainless steel, their stuff ist really good.

                  regards,
                  Manuel

                      True statement....the metric area at our hardware stores is tiny, but then so is my supply of metric tools
                      And $37 was shipped and taxed....I'm still smiling
