Frequently Asked Questions
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! 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.
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 polished look to any car, truck, or 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. These are machined ground and hold a tolerance.
Where do you find the screw locations for RCScrewZ kits?
Answer: The manuals or schematics can be found on the vehicles' manufacturers' websites, which provide screw type and location.
Why are some screw lengths in my kit longer/shorter than needed?
Answer: RCScrewZ screws are produced to standard manufacturing lengths. We include longer screws that can be trimmed down to the manufacturer's length.
