You might be able to try frontline hobbies located in Newcastle, or my next bet would be at the Albury hobby centre, they carry a few TA/AE parts. Do you have the part number for the screw handy?

RC Hobbies on Parramatta Road Petersham have it - $10.00. Just checked their web site. Ph: 9564 0822 (I'm not connected with them, but had an idea they might have it).

I think they are the same as the B4 ones, if they are I've got a spare one you could probably have. But it's VERY unusual for something to be missing out of an Associated kit, sure you didn't drop it?

the only problem ive had with my Mi2 rear diff wasnt the screw, it was the diff disc springs. because the diff came pre built it was over tightend causing them to break.

theres nothing rong with the diff screw

dude,

take the bolt and go to a bolt and nut supplier.

You will get like 20 of them for $10.

You are in sydney. Do a search on yellow pages for bolt suppliers.
