Defender Josh Posted January 1, 2016 Share Posted January 1, 2016 Hi all, I've been in the hobby quite a few years now and was wondering what you all do for replacement screws? I've been thinking about making some stainless screw bags and car kits to sell, just wondering your thoughts, cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atom3624 Posted January 1, 2016 Share Posted January 1, 2016 Stainless are good in some places, but fragile in others - high tensile are better, but rust. Hard bashers will probably be better with 12.9 high tensile as an option. Al. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Defender Josh Posted January 1, 2016 Author Share Posted January 1, 2016 Cheers Al, yes was looking at high tensile as an option, I've seen them at Westfield but think I can supply them slightly cheaper in smaller quantities, just going to get a bit of a list together of different kits to offer and all screw sizes and types, cheers again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz! Posted January 1, 2016 Share Posted January 1, 2016 Yeah I would say high tensile, could well be interested in a set too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Defender Josh Posted January 1, 2016 Author Share Posted January 1, 2016 High tensile seems the way forward, going to take some looking into to make sure I can make kits for different models and get all the right screws + spares as obviously each model uses different amounts of screws. Also thinking packs of 10 screw in certain sizes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaycool Posted January 2, 2016 Share Posted January 2, 2016 (edited) I would be after a full screw kit for my hyper 7 / 8 at the right price Thanks Edited January 2, 2016 by Jaycool 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carpmart Posted January 2, 2016 Share Posted January 2, 2016 It's a crowded market, 10 pack of screws.... Just look on eBay! Good luck though, like a bit of enterprise directed towards the hobby! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noj Posted January 2, 2016 Share Posted January 2, 2016 Nice idea Josh, you'll need to beat the prices that Kays and Boltbase offer to make it a goer, IMHO.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m4inbrain Posted January 2, 2016 Share Posted January 2, 2016 Depends, i'd be willing to pay some extra monies to get basically a full replacement set for my nitro, without me needing to look for the correct ones myself. Convenience beats all out cheapness, at least for me. In that regard, if you ever offer full screw-sets for vehicle units (as in, lets say, every single screw on my truggy x10, or something like that) - i'd be happy to buy that. The only reason why at the moment i'm not replacing all the screws on my Trophy Truggy 4.6 (hint *cough*) is simply because i can't be bothered to find every single one by myself. Got the motor mount screws stainless steel, but now i'm wondering if high tensile wouldn't have been better. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
