Frequently Asked Questions About RC Products (Screw Kits):
Product FAQs:
Do the screw kits come with Wood Type / Plastic Type Coarse Thread Screws?
Answer: NO - Precision Machine Threads Screws replace the stock "WOOD TYPE / PLASTIC TYPE COARSE THREAD SCREWS" in the screw kits. Machine Screws have (3) Times the thread for SUPERIOR hold! Also, the machine screws are the same length and diameters of the coarse type screws they are replacing! Our research shows 99% of the current RC manufacturers now use machine screws in metal and plastic.
Are stainless screws stronger than the stock screws that come with the cars/truck/heli kits from the manufacturer?
Answer: YES - we use A2-70/A4-80 (18.8/316) Stainless Steel Screws (Button, Socket & Countersunk Heads) Set Screws, Nuts & Washers. They are stronger than stock steel screws but not as strong as titanium. Anything stronger is hard/tempered steel and titanium.
Why use stainless? What are the benefits?
Answer: RCScrewZ screws are stronger than stock screws - which helps prevent stripping. Stainless screws are rust resistant and provide a great polished look to any car, truck and heli.
Do your screw kits include pins / screw pins / yoke drive set pins?
Answer: NO - our kits do not include any machined collared screws or screw pins (pins with threads on the end). These are machined ground and hold a tolerance - also, most manufacturers hold patents (or patent pending) on these parts used on their products.
Where do you find the screw locations for RCScrewZ kits?
Answer: The manuals or schematics can be found on the vehicles manufacturers website - they give screw type and location, or if rebuilds/repairs are the process then the removal and replacement method is used.
Why are some screw lengths in my kit longer/shorter than needed?
Answer: RCScrewZ screws are produced to standard manufacturing lengths (no odd lengths i.e. 23mm, 39mm and so on). We will include longer screws which can be trimmed down to the manufacturers length (i.e. threading a nut on the screw, using a dremel or cutoff tool and trimming screw to length, and them removing nut to clean the threads for use). Also, some kits call for, example, a 26mm length as to where a standard length of 25mm will work the same in most applications.
