alright, does anybody know where to get titanium screws? also i have 3x8 flat head screw and then a 3x8 flat head self tapping screw..........and what is the difference between those 2? would it be alright to get titanium flat heads through all of those? or is there a difference? because i also looked at the screws and i see know differences what so ever! and this is just baffling me. thank you

There are a few screw distributors around the Elk Grove industrail area, I will ask my dad and tell you if these distributors carry titanium screws. If yes you can go to the distributor and buy them. [sm=RAINFRO.gif]

self taping screws have a starter tip, usually like a drill bit that helps guide tyhe screw in, whereas machine screws are tipically flat at the tip

Tamiya makes titanium screws for some of their chassis.

what is the gain on Titanium screws?? does anyone know a place where they sell Screw Kits for a Certain type of car and you can buy different types like Stainless Steel or a Titanium set?

gain of titanium is strength!!!! and weight reduction if u change all of ur screws out......i believe their half the weight of the steel screws u probaly have...adn for the sets...u have to shop around...what set r u lookin for? towerhobbies might have it but idk

Screws can add a lot of weight if they are made out of steel. When they are titanium they are lighter/stronger, thus resulting in a lighter car [sm=idea.gif] RC Screwz sells kits for most popular cars.

wow I guessed that they were lighter but never enough for a performance gain!! Thanks for all the help!! and help this man out he seems like a great guy like the rest of you all!!

You may not notice the weight reduction however when you save a little weight here, and there and over there, it all adds up. Now the lighter the car the quicker it can get to its top speed, do you think if an rc car weighed a million pounds it would go anywhere therefore weight reduction is crucial is achieving good times on the track.

titanium is 40% lighter than the steel screws! its a fact...

is titanium more expensive the stainless steel?

definatley! i wanted to convert all of mine to titanium and still mihgt and it costs $82 for 72 screws.....do the math lol

That is alot of money for Titanium screws what was the website you looked at for them? I would rather get a tuned pipe etc..

yes true...^^^^^ but when u really wanna go all out and have nothin else to do after "big" mods then u start with the smaller stuff. and the website is www.lunsfordracing.com they also have titanium turnbuckles ball studs and sets of screws adn turnbuckles for revos savages adn so on

do they actualy reduce weaght and make it beter overal for the cost

itanium is 40% lighter than steel screws......u do the math! lol so yes they DO reduce weight...adn if u replace all screws then weight reduction is amazing

Oh Cheres

what does that mean?[]
