Default Screw kit for TRF501X

As most owners should have already noticed, the screws in the TRF501X kit are not the best quality items around, so I'm in the marked for a decent screw set.

Would a TRF415 Ti screw kit be a good match ?
Also, Since the TRF501 has a lot of screws-in-alumiunium, how do you avoid a typical Ti to alu binding ?

I had a DCracing stainless screw kit in my ZX5 last year and was very happy with it. Top quality and indestructable, allthough a bit heavier then a Ti kit. Does anyone know if they're planning on composing a TRF501X screw kit ?

to stop the dissimilar metal binding, you can either use threadlock (use the stuff that don't lock, just stick) or grease.

Jason,

Email Masa or Hirotaka at [email protected] and they will help you out.

BTW I got all the stainless screws for my car from fastener-express.com in the US. They don't sell specific screw kits but their prices are very good - I just buy large lots of miscellaneous sizes for use on my race cars as well as my vintage cars.

Check out the price of the Ultima at RC Champ too - it's a very good
