I want to replace the screws on my T-Maxx and make them hex. I just need to know who makes a set. I don't want a titanium set. I need to replace a few screws and figured I might as well do the whole truck. Help please. Thanks

T&D's screwset is the best.. I have their supreme set on my .21 t-maxx and have yet to bend or break one and the shock mount kit is really nice too. in all its the best and totally complete and then some I've used to far.

Just do yourself a favor and call McMaster Carr.
You'll get 100 Alloy Steel grade 12.9 SHCS for under $5
$50 will get you everything you need and you'll have enough extra so you'll never be hunting for screws again.
The Metric Blue screws are a LOT more expensive (~5x), but are worthwhile for the flat heads where the standard alloy steel ones drop to grade 10.9

From what I saw at Mcmaster site you have to order by 100 in one size and it gets expensive to get all correct sizes. Maxxtarxx on line store is to offer a blue screw kit from RC alloys soon from what I understand. If you want to check www.mcmaster.com

yes, Mall will have a good pkg on Metric Blues. Prob be a pretty nice kit too.
But if you consider, you need M3x8, x10, x12 x16, x20 will pretty much do most of what you need = ~$25...See where I'm going with this? Then you'll not only have the screws in the truck, but all the extras you need over time as well.

Save yourself a load of cash and get boxes of screws that you need..
Example: 100 pcs of 3X8mm cap screws costs less than 3 bucks!!
Visit your local fastener wholesaler.

I just compared prices at McMasters with T-D-Motorsports and MicroFasteners. T-D-Motorsports does have a good kit, but I will be buying my hardware from McMasters.com because they have more of a selection and there prices are very good for quantities of 100. I'm going to stock-up so that I don't have to run back to Ace Hardware everytime that I need a screw, washer, or nut. If a person didn't want a 100 of each, they could split an order with a couple of buddies and the prices would still be great! My 2 cents.:)

Screw Kit Notes !!
Thanks for all the great comments guys. I would like to mention that our kit is not like just buying a bunch of screws. We have the sizes you won't find.
We include 2x8 for the differentials
also, our special quick release shock kit
We have certain sizes made for us also.
Have you ever tried putting those darn 3x25 screws back into the bulkhead braces? Well, we have a 3x22 size just for those braces in the T and E maxx's. Also, special button head screw with washers built into them for the servos. These are very nice to work with as there is no fumbling with washers.
!! NEW PRODUCT !!
We now have stainless screw kits available for pre-order. They will start shipping by the week of the 18th. We will only have 100 kits available for pre-order, or if we hit February, the prices will go to normal. www.t-d-motorsports.com
