C-clips on traxxas drive train pins??

[bruce750i]

Has anybody found any cheep substitutes to the traxxas $10. bag? I've lost four c-clips now off of the slayer.

Just go to Home depot or lowes or your LHS.

You know, I've just started loosing those clips too - on the new shafts I installed. I wonder if Traxxas is getting some pins that are out of tolerance. I didnt realize a bag was that much - I "stole" new ones out of my pile of parts.

Well the only bag I have found them in also has all the pins and square u-joint metal parts. "cha-ching $$$" I think i'll try and find some black automotive ones, or Home-depot or Blowes.

Thanks

I found a couple different sources for these tonight.

Duratrax has a package:http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0001p?&I=LXAMF6

And I found another vendor that also seems to sell some good quality screws - but I dont know anything about them as a seller: http://www.hexcrews.com/

Put a little dab of silicone over the clips, that will help them stay on...
