Titanium Fastener Upgrade for the XV-02

The Tamiya 47488 XV-02 Titanium Screw Set replaces the standard steel screws with titanium alternatives, reducing chassis fastener weight by around 23 grams. This modest reduction can help refine handling and rotational response during racing or practice sessions.

What the Set Contains

The set supplies a comprehensive mix of titanium hex head and countersunk screws for common XV-02 fixings:

  • 3x23mm Hex Head Screws x4
  • 3x20mm Hex Head Screws x5
  • 3x14mm Hex Head Screws x10
  • 3x12mm Hex Head Screws x4
  • 3x10mm Hex Head Screws x12
  • 3x8mm Hex Head Screws x32
  • 3x6mm Hex Head Screws x7
  • 3x14mm Countersunk Hex Head Screw x1
  • 3x10mm Countersunk Hex Head Screws x6
  • 3x8mm Countersunk Hex Head Screws x19

Fitting Recommendations

Keep the original kit cap screw for motor attachment. For cleaner thread starts or to repair worn threads, Item 54232 (M3 x 0.5mm Thread Forming Tap) is a useful tool. This fastener set is specified for use with XV-02 chassis cars only.

Switching to the titanium set reduces the fastener weight by approximately 23 grams compared to the original steel hardware.
Titanium offers excellent strength-to-weight ratio and good corrosion resistance, so durability is typically as good as or better than steel for most hobby use.
Individual replacement screws are often available from hobby suppliers; match size and head type to the entries in the kit to ensure correct fit.
You likely will not need major setup changes, though the slight mass reduction may alter the car's balance subtly, so check handling and tweak suspension settings if needed.
