Trinity vs. Fastener Express Purple?

Quote

Post by LTO_Dave » Sat Apr 11, 2015 7:12 pm

I'm looking for some purple aluminum 4-40 screws for my Invencer XT, and wanted to know if anyone can compare the shade of purple from Trinity and Fastener Express?

The Trinity purple is an exact match for the Raborn purple, but I'm having trouble finding all the 4-40 screws I need for it. So ordering from FE might be an option for me.

I'm glad you asked this since I'm looking for purple screws for the exact same reason!

It's like jewelry. Better than diamonds if you ask me.

Yes sir, mighty fine stuff! There's quite a few 4-40 x 1/2 flat heads and 8-32 x 1/2 flat heads. I must have used up the socket head ones.
Maybe I could talk myself into trading them for...

Whoa, I never knew these particular Trinity aluminum endbell motors came anodized in color! Never seen one before, had to have it.
Looks good in the ol' purple chassis car... :D

Whole car! Sorry about the tires and shocks etc.....

Interesting, i've never seen one in purple before either. The brush heatsinks .. sure, they're everywhere, but never the actual aluminum endbell.

The Trinity EX Tech Experimental motors usually come with grey can and endbell and golden brush setup.
I got a different version with purple can and endbell and silver brush setup.
The label is exactly the same as with the other version.

I tried to...

But you could find GM labels on Trinity/Epic or HPI cans.
Or even certain Kyosho cans. But those are super rare because they were prototype or team motors and never went to the public.

I had heard that this could be a Trinity purple motor plate for the XXT. I emailed Trinity and they confirmed it was. Pretty exciting as I have never seen one.

Here is what I'm looking for. Picture a long 4-40 (or 3mm) setscrew that has a hollow center. I need it for the Bullet project, it needs to be brazed to a piece of piano wire. I can't use the DuBro style solder on pieces shown in the first pic as...

Hi, hoping some people here can help me. How do I determine screw size, pitch, etc to order some extra fasteners from McMaster Carr? I want to make sure I get the right thread pitch, diameter, and any other characteristics or features I need to be...

Last post

the thread depth has to do with the material being cut. harder/stronger materials need less depth of thread to get the rated strength, which makes it much easier on the tooling, the taps and dies are stressed less and break less often. The weakest...
