 so if you get them dont over tighten them  _________________ OFNA - Ravager RTR, Samurai .21 HPI - Savage X SS 4.6, .28 SH p6 pro spec HPI - R40 2005, LRP .12 spec 2 Soon addition Hsp B1 pro

Also make sure your hex drivers are in good condition.

These screw kits are from the U.S, not sure what grade they are but they seem to be ok.

yeah thats good! they are bloody cheap
 wouldnt titanium be better?? not sure if they make then and the price might be a tad expensive if they do lol i supose better to strip a screw thred then the thred it screws into. i just seem to over tighten everything why i dont like stainless  i think the chassis screws on my ravager are stainless i used high stregth locktite stripped 2 of the 4 engine screws but that was my own fault they took a bit to strip i was using a spanner as leverage lol_________________ OFNA - Ravager RTR, Samurai .21 HPI - Savage X SS 4.6, .28 SH p6 pro spec HPI - R40 2005, LRP .12 spec 2 Soon addition Hsp B1 pro

Nope. Titanium is quite light and definitely stronger than aluminium, but has nowhere near the tensile strength of stainless or hardened steel. (in that order) I use hardened steel screws in all my cars. They're cheap, they're strong and they're available almost anywhere.

I am doing some aluminium upgrades at the moment.
Aluminium Rear Hubs. Does the kit include the grub screws for the aluminium rear hubs? The ones for the plastic hubs are larger. Upgrade Shock Towers. On each shock tower there are 2 ball ends with screws and 2 with nylock nuts, there doesn't seem to be much thread sticking through for the nuts. Is it worth changing them to the same as the ones with the screws? |

it dosent include the real tiny ones that go into the rear hubs.
ohh and be careful when screwing the ball end screws into the alloy parts i broke four of em lol had to buy some more off trev the ones i bought were stronger tho  _________________ Team Losi xxx-nt Picco .12 Hsp Tyranno vx18 |

Best to use some anti seize on the ball end screws when fitting to the aloy parts.
