Why do you keep posting about that if it's clear that nobody in the US carries it?

The guy whos question I answered in the first place wanted to know where to get it... so I told him. Not sure why that bothers you? Also not sure why you act as if ordering from the UK is impossible? Both rhetorical questions, I don't care.

Back to your regularly scheduled TC4 thread...

Guys, I changed all my Novak motor screws from steel to titanium. Do you think the absence of steel will result in a stronger rotor magnetic field ??? I've yet to test that theory..

I believe this could be some very good thinking.........interested to see how the theory tests.

Thanks Bert.......good stuff!!!

PLEEEEEEASE for the love of hank don't encourage him berts advice is all non sense having a silly lightweight car does no good as its under weight for actual racing and having a car designed to be much heavier you end up chasing setups all the time as the geometrys and spring rates are designed for a heavier car.

I may be wrong here, but I think he is talking about less rotational resistance/drag on the motor due to the attraction of steel-VS- titanium in the magnets. Not the weight of the screws.

I read somewhere that the magnetic energy prefers to accumulate in ferrous materials rather than air or titanium... So I assumed that titanium screws was the way to avoid that problem, on top of losing a few grams... Lots of top racers position their fans at least 10mm away from the motor because of intefering magnetic fields, so I might not be wrong...

..........this is what i thought Bert meant also.

.....I understand the point that when you get below min weight and setup chasing.

If i am not mistaken I have read many tips from Bert that didnt involve lightening the car. Ex.....sanding gears, a special type of lubricant, many tips that make sense and would work on any kind of car.

Bert......keep these good tips coming....I have learned a lot from you.

Lol........these guys dont want you giving away all their secrets to speed.
