I Never go to the manufacturer for small parts like that especially if there just general fasteners. Go to any hobby shop and go to section where they have all the small nuts and screws that are made for any brand of car. Usually they are called Du-bro fasteners.
If they don't have the part your looking for the next best thing is Ebay. I have always been able to find what I need and shipping is always cheaper than the manufacturer as they usually charge 8-10 bucks to ship a 3 dollar part whereas Ebay merchants usually ship for a couple bucks

When installing the aluminum C block, do you need to put the lock nut on the top? The block is curved not allowing the nut to go all the way down flush.

If you need parts, either small quantities or large, this is the best bet.

Rumor is, they're the main supplier to a whole TON of companies too. Unlike places were you have to order them by the dozens or hundreds, you can get smaller quantities here. Come in nice labeled bags too.

So when do you use the gear diff instead of the ball diff and how many people use the gear diff

I have no desire for gear diffs. I hate them. so messy

Most guys who use them are running on super high bite, Astro turf or carpet tracks. Some might use them on really high bite clay tracks but most don't.

Ok i have a b5m on the way , without going through the whole thread it seams many are using the rear motor front arms and tower and rear arms . Is this correct ? Are these the main mods that people are doing to get there b5m to work better . I will need to order the parts and would like to do it in one go . Anything else i should consider ? Is a full size servo ok ? I will be using the hobbywing 3.1 stock esc

All of the above, and front axles, hexes, aluminum rear hubs. You'll have to research the servo I dont like the way my low profile servo fits on the mounts or the very close tolerance of the horn linkage with the servo body
