I use Yeah Racing screws now (http://www.tqrcracing.com/shop/produ...&s_maker_id=59) but there are many other options.

Edit: I've had good results from these guys in the past as well: http://www.rcscrewz.com/ (502X set)

BTW: The screws are changed after the release of the TRF501X, all TRF kits from the TRF501X WE have improved quality of screws.
I'm not 100% in agreement with this. I agree they are improved but I don't consider them "fine". I have good tools, including hardened ball-end hexs and still find the Tamiya heads too soft. The old dark shiny ones from the 501X are simply terrible, the newer (less shiny, more copper colour) ones are not that much better IMHO. For the sake of 25 bucks I replace them all.
