Kraton Kraton Ar723328 - M3x28mm - Screws - Sold Locally for anyone?

[ts2340]

I swear every time me and my boys go bashing one of our cars breaks within the first 3-5 minutes lol.. This time it was mine.. And it was the Ar723328 screw just snapped.. I order one on eBay on Sunday. Says it shipped.. Now the dude just emailed me and is like "Oh yea, sorry not in stock.."

They aren't shipped via prime.. Anyone know where I can get a screw that would work (Ace Hardware, Lowes, Home Depot)?

The very next day we went with just my boys cars and five minutes in one of them snapped a steering block on their Rustler..

Do people stock any parts so when this happens they aren't down for a week or??

Thanks

If you have a Fastenal where you live you can pick them up in a m3x30 from 10-15 cents each

Never heard of that store but a quick google tells me there is one close. Thanks mate!

You would spend about $100 at Ace and spend maybe 20 there on the same stuff

Screws snapping isn't very common. Though a lot of members will usually have some of the easier to break parts on hand, A-arms, tie rods, bumpers, hubs, dog bones/cvd's... Another good thing to stock up on, I feel, are the hinge pins/screws around the wheels and hub areas. I tend to bend those alot myself.

Just called that place and they aren’t open to the public. Damn covid.

Most hardware stores should have M3 bolts. I replaced mine (top shock mount, right?) with a Phillips head 30mm one I had on hand.

Wait, so this / these would work?

If you do an email quote of what you want you can go into there will call Area and pick stuff up

My drones require a whole lotta m3 bolts. I keep an assortment on hand. For the longer stuff I usually get these:

Not sure, these don't have the threads cut all the way. You don't need them threaded all the way, but not sure how much

Son of a bad word... Just came home with them.. They need to be threaded more... Sigh

How loose is it? If it's a mm or 2 maybe a washer can take up the slack. But you need enough thread left for the locknut on the other side...

That won't work even with all the washers you might have

Harbor freight, McMaster Carr, Lowes, Home depot are all good sources, check online first.

I should have drew an arrow. The issue is that where the threads stop, that metal piece needs to keep threading to be flush.

 

[jkflow]

No arrow needed, clear to see that you have a partially threaded bolt and you need full threaded.
