absolute crap not stainless just cheap alloy steel mix strip easy, heavy, not all screws are in the kit , they rust. traxxas screws are 10 times better rcscrewz are not worth the money JUST DONT BUY THEM ...
Like other reviewers, I was bummed the kit does not include the shoulder screws. I even tried to communicate this to the maker and after the third email - he just didn't get what I was saying, even with a link to a picture. So I gave up. For the servo mount, I did find screws in the kit that work. As for the upper shock screws, I just used HPI flared screw sleeves and dubro screws. Yes, they are a little loose but work whether using stock or aftermarket shocks. These screws seem to strip just as easily as the stock ones, so I recommend using RPM suspension arms to minimize the chances. My local hobby shop suggested using a red sharpie on the screw heads to give the look of being red-anodized.
Disappointing for $30, don't waste your money. Doesn't include wide servo screws or upper shock screws, both of which are the reasons I wanted the kit. The rest of the screws are good, nice and clean looking.
I can deal with the fact it's missing the shoulder screws. The screws are pretty and so far, rust free. That's the good news. The bad news is that they strip just as easy if not more so than the stock screws and some of them are not the same dimension. I know what you may be thinking, did I use the right ones? I laid them all out and compared the options. The screws to attach the shocks at the a-arm are a bit too long. They still work but I'd think they'd be the same size. Overall I appreciate that they aren't rusting but the ease for which they strip is a bug problem. The size differences is minor. I don't recommend them for $30 unless you are having a real hard time with rust and it really bothers you.
I have a slash 4x4 ultimate, and this kit included screws to replace almost everything. My slash has almost everything short of a motor/esc swap and this kit came with enough screws to replace almost everything. The only screws that were missing were some sway bar set screws and some others that I’m sure just aren’t a thing on the normal models of the slash. I am satisfied with the kit and it has many extra screws that I was able to use on some of my RPM parts.
Reviewers largely agree the kit's screws look clean and resist rust, which is the main praise. The most common complaint is that the kit omits the shoulder screws and wide servo mount screws some buyers wanted, and one reviewer notes the upper shock screws were also missing. Several reviewers report the screws strip as easily as stock Traxxas screws, and one notes some lengths differ from the originals. Opinions on value at $30 are split: some call it disappointing, while one reviewer on an Ultimate model was satisfied and found enough spares for other parts. One reviewer describes the material as not truly stainless and reports rust on some screws, which conflicts with other reports of rust-free screws.
