Question about scale nuts and bolts.

[Espeefan]

RC4WD also has some nice hex head screws, but the variety of lengths available are not nearly as abundant as the socket head cap screws. To me, socket head cap screws are huge improvement over the phillips head screws that come with most Tamiya kits. Nothing looks worse then a phillips head screw on a scale model. At least a socket head screw, even if it's not a hex head, doesn't stick out so bad.
