Good idea.Of all the helis and stuff I have sold,the one thing I never get rid of is my fasteners.
Down time over a screw sucks.
Building a new house are you?Cool.

Have you received those bolts, yet, Mckrackin?
I wonder how hard they are?
At least with my Donzi (boat), the stainless bolts are too soft and they tend to gall much easier than standard hard bolts.
I realize the size difference is a few orders of magnitude. I just have had limited luck with anything stainless when it comes to nuts and bolts.
I look forward to hearing what you think about them.

I got the idea from a guy on Runryder and he says he hasn't stripped one yet since changing.I ordered exactally the same set he did.
They shipped today so I expect them sometime this week.
I'll keep you all posted ;D

Just got them from the mailbox and WOW!!!!
Coolest thing yet.I can finally throw away that pesky 1.5mm driver ;D
2mm is the smallest head in them.Big.beefy heads that still fit in the cupped Align washers.
I've torqued in a few and never felt once like I was going to strip it.The stock Align screws strip fairly easily(especially the 1.5mm) but these feel like good stuff ;D ;D ;D

That's great news, Mckrackin!
It's really nice that they are hardened. I think I'll order a set for my 450's!
The Exi 500 frame screws are all 2mm and larger, so they work fine.

The kit is every single screw on it too.The screws that hold on the servo horns.The screws in the rotor head.Tail gear.All the grub screws.Blade grips......eeeeeverything.Even the super tiny grubs that keep the skids from turning ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

I have bought screw sets before only to have the ones that are important missing, or not enough of them are there. I'm impressed. Those guys have a good niche to be in! Kent |

Hey Elk, I'm willing to bet that those guys would love to hear about the error with the blade screws. They will no doubt send you new ones.
I say that as those guys will not survive if folks like YOU don't say their stuff is incredible.
That's the nature of niche.
If I were them, I would not only send you the proper bolts for your grips, I would make it up otherwise, too, somehow...
Best,
Kent
