Re: Re: Re: Re: Titanium screws
Originally posted by InitialD I don't know if I'm wrong but the Serpent ones are like 2.9 mm on the head. So using the 3 mm head ones would not make them countersunk into the chassis fully. Besides, I think there are some that need 3.5 mm. I don't think Speedmind has self tapping titanium screws. Do I need titanium screws? No... It's my addiction that tells me to get them! :cry: Anyone else here have that problem? Maybe we can start a support group. :D :lol: Crashed_1 can join you too ! :nod: :D Cheers, Mark. |

Originally posted by markp27 I too gave in to the addication and bought Ti screws. I weighed the car before hand and afterwards - I saved a massive 15g :cry: :cry: Only the tapping screws are now non-Ti. You also need to look at the front of the bumper / body post, especially the steering linkages and the servo mountings, screws mounting the tank and the upper deck, screws mounting the side braces, the rear shock tower etc. My apologies, the 2.9 mm head self tapping screws can be replaced with M3 titanium ones. I know they fit because I'm using them.:sneaky: :lol: |

But he still drives for Serpent. The Evolva thingy is however new to me. now. Him driving a different car is something i heard last night. put it this way he was using a fantini motor. |
Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Titanium screws
Originally posted by InitialD I'll give you a tip Mark. There are a lot more titanium screws that you can replace. Any screw that is M3, countersunk or button head, you can replace with titanium ones. That includes some on the bottom of the chassis ! :sneaky: I actually have replaced all the screws on the car apart from the self tapping ones :nod: Which self tapping M3s are you using? |

Originally posted by markp27 Which self tapping M3s are you using? Anyway, for the chassis, I used normal M3 countersunk screws. Not self tapping ones. Not many though. I used on the mid bearing block and the battery mount tabs. |
