I use mostly M2, M3 and M4 allen headed cap screws (Machine Screw) to replace Phillips or JIS self tappers. But then I cut a shallow vertical slot in the last three threads of the cap screw with a Dremel cut-off blade to create a slight tap effect - then use a bit of hand soap for lubrication. Goes in great, doesn't damage the plastic and looks way better.

What hobbies steal your money and attention from RC?

My other vice is Die-cast cars - over and above my 30+ RC cars. I have 7200 on display in my home - with no duplicates. I have been collecting since I was 8 years old in 1974 - that's 46 Years. All have been taken out of their boxes and are on display. I also build 1/24 and 1/12 scale plastic model cars - usually Tamiya but I have been known to indulge in a Revell as well. We race Associated 18R cars indoors on carpet and I build hyper detailed RC 4x4's, trucks, off-roaders and drift cars. Oh - I also like building working model tugs. My Highlift Hilux tows my Nissan S15 Drift car - with custom made chassis. One of my display cases for my 1/64 diecast. My Austar Ford Bronco with full lighting, flashers, siren and working winch. My other Bronco - cheap eastern chassis with upgraded engine and electronics. My Sand Scorcher Body on a Grasshopper Chassis.
