Lunsford Ti Screws
Are these more for the "bling" factor or are there any performance gains switching to titanium? I am aware that they may be lighter and stronger, but do they really make a difference?
Thanks,

Depends on the vehicle you intend to mount them on.
On something light and nimble, like a 2 or 4wd electric buggy you can get away with it; I can't really say if you could/should use them on a stadium truck. Titanium screws, though lighter in weight, also tend to strip-out more easily than their steel counterparts and aren't quite as strong overall.
I wouldn't even contemplate using them on any nitro vehicles due to the vehicle's increased weight and the abuse they are put through.

yes they will work I use 7075 AL screws on my 8th scale and have yet to break one . i shaved 45grams doing this. the only ones that get striped are the motor mount screws because you remove them a lot. TI screws are even stronger!
