Nuts and bolts
#1
Where do you people buy screws and such to place PDBs, FSs and other "cards" on? I got all parts I need for my new racing quad but I have no screws. Any recommendations?

As I live in Australia I buy local where possible,
Screws http://buzzhobbies.com.au/index.php?rout...uct_id=770
Standoffs http://buzzhobbies.com.au/index.php?rout...uct_id=493

Loads of places sell them, just google nylon standoffs and M3 Button head screws

I like both monsterbolts and mr-retro (liquidRC) on eBay.  If one doesn't have what I want, the other one usually does.  Both are in the USA if that makes a difference (but I believe both ship world-wide).

Home Depot sells m3 button head screws and I got a pack of m3 nylon standoffs/screws off amazon.

Nylon standoffs I've got from Amazon. Aluminum nuts and bolts I have only bought from http://www.fastener-express.com/aluminum...shers.aspx (they have colors!)

You probably want M3 screws for most regular quad setups.

Home Depot's smallest size is M3. Banggood has boxes with assorted lengths. And much cheaper than Home Depot, but you need to wait for shipping.

If your in a hurry got to Jaycar. they have a good selection of "m3 , 3mm" bolts, screws, spacers, nylon and metal

If your not in a hurry try BOLT , they are slow to post stuff about 2-3 days before dispatch . They have a plastic/rubber anti-vibration kit.

Bulk buy is the best , you get 50x bolt for 10x the price. I like the feeling of,  "I need this size bolt ?"....... " I know Ive got that size Smile , I GOT ALL THE SIZES Smile".

Yeah everyone loves talking about nuts Smile

I think it's because we are all looking for the magical answer that doesn't involve boring $3 of fun driving to the hardware store for a pack of 5 screws for $4.95 Smile

And it does seem silly to buy a bulk-pack of 160 spacers when you only need 4 (even if 160 cost the same as the 10-pack from the local shop)
