I need some Philips Chassis screws for my RC10 and my JRXT....I don't care if they are OEM or Aluminum or not, I just want the functionality. Can I get these from a hardware store with the correct countersunk angle?

a little expensive but i find i always use up 50x or 100x very quick lol, i order from there every 3 months, their stainless steel screws are great

What are the common lengths as well? I'm mainly curious on the 2 steering mount screws, as I just had some round head screws use, not the correct ones.....

not sure on lengths
i like these too, they are cheaper and they are stainless steel

has a hex head also, makes stripping them hard, unlke the aluminum counterparts, how many people out there at some point had to dremel a slot to use a flat head to get out the screw, ive done it more than once.
i tryed the stripped screw bit set from home depot, but on aluminum, it made it worse.

Oh, that's a good idea too...
I was looking at these, then thought of what size I might need:

I ordered 50 of these....they should work for both my Losi JRXT & RC10 hopefully.....I prefer not having a Philips drive screw when possible. Thanks again for the link....
