Clips and Pins That Hold Your RC Together

In addition to screws -- lots and lots of impossibly tiny screws -- there are other types of fasteners holding your RC together. On a hobby RC you'll likely be taking it apart and putting it back together often. These little pieces are easy to lose so its always a good idea to have a few extras in your toolbox. Drop one in tall grass or have a piece fly off while at the track and you'll probably never see that little fastener again.

• In a pinch you could use paperclips or other short pieces of wire to replace some lost cotter pins, typically used to hold the body on a hobby RC.

• Depending on where they are used, e-clips are more difficult to find a substitute for.
