Billy of Fast lap Products makes RC car parts on the side. His occupation is trophy truck engineer. He said in the engineering world its fairly common knowledge that stainless is weaker than common steel. When I told him that I broke one of the mounting screws for his sc10 4x4 chassis brace his first question was '"did you use an aluminum or stainless screw?"
