Default Another Head and Main bolt supplier
FYI

Found these guys at my LHS. They are the 2mm x 12 (4 pack) by DUBRO Racing in the airplane servo section. Same size as the head and main bolt on the stock B400 head and shaft. JFYI,,

Just thought I would let everyone know in case they cant wait on shipping..

I ordered a box of 50 for 6 bucks and some change. I know prices went up since but I doubt much.

I was way off!!! $9.45 for a box of 100 in stainless comes out to .09 cents a screw.

The black oxide screws are stronger.

Stainless is softer and shears easier, unless of course you buy graded bolts, but you ain't gonna get em for .99 cents.

Thanks for tip mobilecal

yes you are right but since I replace them after every crash I don't mind going stainless.

especially if you are there ordering parts you might as well add a box of the 2mm screws since your paying the shipping anyway.

I have sheared the stock bolts right off more than once. I use Aspect Aviation hardware now. It seems like a softer material. They bend but have never sheared off
