Tony's Screws or RcScrewz Stainless
Looking to rebuild my Hara and need a screw kit, it is between these 2. Any input would be great
thanks |
Tony's by far, better quality and won't strip easily like rcscrewz.....
|
stainless are pretty weak compared to Tony's 12.9 grade alloy
|
If money isn't a issue, I'd go lunsford screws. My tki2 has luns tit screws throughout and have been awesome. They will last a very very looonnng time. Also, no matter what set of screws you get, I highly suggest you investing in MIP/Thorp hex drivers. Best I've had so far. Just my 2cents

Eeeh
I like steel screws. I never bought Tony's, but I go to A Main and order all the srews from their protech brand. You get like 10 screws fro 2 dollars or whatever. I just load up with all the sizes I use the most and bam. It ends up being cheaper than 45 dollars for a screw kit and you have 20 of each not only a few.

TONYS over any other on the market. You get more for the money with Tonys Screws..
I'll never stray again. |

If Trick-Parts makes a kit I would go with them. I have them in my scte and caster buggy and haven't had a stripped out screw yet.

Stainless screws tend to strip out much easier. I'd avoid the RCScrewz set -- they look cool, but WILL strip out. I had a bad experience years ago when I first got started back in RC.
10.9 or 12.9 steel is the way to go. Tony's offers a nice pre-packaged set. Titanium is nice, but mainly on the top plate where there is lower stress. I wouldn't use them on the high stress areas, especially engine screws and lower chassis screws. Have seen them bend/break on many occasions. |
I agree with larlev, go with trick-parts.com, they have great quality stuff
|
Tony's NO question's asked, He's got Kits for 98% of the cars out there and his hardware is the BEST in the Bizz. :nod:
|
tony, Nothing else...
|
Stainless for Rock Crawlers...Tony's for EVERYTHING else :)
Later, |
Well that settles it, Tony's it is.
Thanks for the input |
|
Tony sells Amainhobbies complete kits and bulk screws for them to package under their own ProTek R/C label.
also the trickparts.com screws are cheap stainless, no better than RC Screwz IMO just sayin |
Stay away from rcscrewz. I bought a set for my vorza. Lots of screws missing and some useless, totally different from manual specs.
|
hey i know for any build i do i go to the interent and get the spec sheets if its not a 100 percent custom built rc and even then i still go to fastenal for all my screws, i opened an account in the name of my dads building company and i get great rates...e clips, screws, washers, nuts lock nuts you name it and you can get it there i have even bought conduit tubing for using to build a bumper...fastenal is my recommedation super cheap and very easy to do business with and have your whole order for pick up in 2 days :)
|
Thanks for the tip. I will do a complete set quote in some screw stores in my country when i had the patience but i may need these sites, usually they only have common stuff.
|
places like fastenal and grainger will surprise bc if they dont have it they will suggest smthg thats equivalent or better at a fraction of the cost
