E-Revo screw set
Hello!!
After some extensive searching on the internet for a list of what screws are in the new E-Revo, I found this site.
Since this is my first post, let me introduce myself properly:
Im Vito, 27 years old, from the Netherlands. Im into RC for quite some time now, doing it since I was 13-14 years old. I always driven 1/10 electric offroad(always Team Associated cars
), pretty much untill the first brushless sets for monstertrucks came onto the market.
Because I very much like the way the Revo looks, I bought one and converted it to brushlesspower.
Currently im collecting parts for my E-Revo project, and I want to swap the original screws with titanium screws to save some weight, aswell as I very much like the idea of having titanium screws.
Because this is only the second ever car I buy new, I wanna make something special from it, so im buying many hopups before buying the actual car.
My problem is that I can't find anywhere which screws are in an E-Revo. Traxxas doesn't give a detailed list like I had with Associated, and untill now I didn't have any luck with finding a list on internet.
Is there anyone who can help me with finding a list with all the screws??
Thanks alot!
Vito

I think you'd do better getting a set of high strength alloy steel screws. Everything I've seen on TI screws and sets has been less than encouraging. Not only are they uber expensive, QC has been poor with lots of them just breaking with poorly formed threads and dimensional probs. These have been Ebay sets - if Lunsford sells some, they won't have the QC probs.
Alloy steel will be stronger. If you're looking for bling, try stainless, even though they're weaker than the alloy steel ones. When I get a new RC, that's one of the early things I do is get rid of the phillips heads and wood screw things ( I hate to even call them screws...) and change to socket head type screws so I can use my set of drivers and power tools. I've been using Tonys Screws and haven't been disappointed.

Thanks for the replies!
Im aware of the poor quality from budget (titanium) screw kits, therefor I wanted to create my own set from better quality.
The reason I have chosen for titanium is that I wanna make my E-Revo as lightweight as possible. I already have bought many lighter hopups, the titanium screws will fit much better within this idea.
Im going to write Lunsford an email to see what they can do for me
