Tamiya 3x8mm Hollow Titanium Screws 42238 Overview

For modders focusing on weight reduction, the Tamiya 42238 - RC 3x8mm Hollow Titanium Screw set provides a compact hardware upgrade. These titanium screws trade bulk for strength, offering a lighter alternative to standard steel fittings.

Why Use Titanium Screws

The material is prized for its favourable strength-to-weight ratio, helping reduce overall vehicle mass without a big sacrifice in durability. That is valuable for enthusiasts chasing handling improvements through lighter hardware.

Applications and Checks

At 3x8mm these screws are suited to many fixing points on RC kits where light hardware makes a difference. Always confirm the required screw diameter and length for your particular components before installation.

Can hollow screws be used on the chassis?

Hollow screws are best for non-primary structural fixings and trim parts. For main chassis joints you may prefer solid fasteners unless the design specifies otherwise.

Do I need to worry about galvanic corrosion?

Titanium has good corrosion resistance, but when paired with other metals consider insulating washers or coatings to reduce any risk of galvanic interaction.

How should I secure these against vibration?

Use a light threadlocker or lock washer on parts subject to vibration, and fit with the correct driver to avoid stripping the head.

Are they suitable for off-road use?

They work well for many off-road components, especially where reducing rotating or sprung mass helps handling, but assess impact exposure on a case by case basis.

What does the pack include?

The pack contains two 3x8mm hollow titanium screws. Check quantities before ordering if you need more for a larger project.
