Strong, Lightweight Titanium Screws for RC

The Tamiya 53530 3x10mm titanium hex socket screws come as a 5 piece pack tailored for modders and racers looking to replace heavier hardware. These screws are suited to areas where strength and low mass are priorities.

Performance benefits of titanium fasteners

Titanium gives a high strength-to-weight ratio and good resistance to corrosion, making it practical for models that see frequent use. Swapping to titanium in key locations can reduce unsprung weight and improve handling.

Compatibility and installation tips

These screws fit many standard M3 threaded holes but always confirm matched thread and clearance. Use the correct hex driver and avoid overtightening threaded plastic parts to prevent cracking.

Which areas of a buggy benefit most from these screws?

Body mounts, servo mounts and small suspension linkages often benefit from lighter titanium fasteners, where reducing rotational or unsprung mass helps performance.

Are there strength differences versus steel?

Titanium is lighter and resists corrosion, but in some applications hardened steel may be marginally tougher. For most hobby uses, titanium provides excellent strength while cutting weight.

Should I use washers with these screws?

Using small washers can spread load on softer parts and prevent the screw head from digging in. Flat washers are a simple upgrade when attaching to plastic or thin metal plates.
