He tells me one of your local guys does some rather quick modded OS engines.

How many screws do I need to remove in order to take out the rear diffs? It had to take out 12 screws or so for it to come out. I was hoping there might be an easier way?

I don't think you can find titanium self tapping screws anywhere...
As for M3 titanium screws, I'm afraid that your only source would be to get from Tamiya or from Speedmind. I got mine from Xenon Racing which is for the electric Barracuda car.

Right now I'm thinking Kyosho... $6.29 for 10pcs selftapping screws (philips head but near half the price of HPI) and $7.29 for 8pcs M3 with allen head, both button and flathead. Bad news is that most are out of stock or limited qty...
I haven't seen any shops that carry packs of Speedmind screws, just sets for specific cars...
Do I need titanium screws? No... It's my addiction that tells me to get them!
Anyone else here have that problem? Maybe we can start a support group.
