Reduce Mass on the TRF 415MSX Chassis

The Tamiya 49384 set is produced for the TRF 415MSX and pairs titanium screws with blue anodised aluminium to slim down weight without weakening essential mounts. The aluminium components are intended for low load areas to preserve agility.

When to Use Titanium Versus Aluminium

Use titanium for high load connections such as suspension mounting points and steering linkages because of its strength and fatigue resistance. Aluminium is best suited to cosmetic and panel fixings where weight saving is the priority.

Installation Best Practices

Fit titanium fasteners into structural zones and aluminium into non load bearing spots, verify each screw length before tightening, and carry out routine inspections to catch any loosening or wear after running sessions.

You can mix them if thread pitch and length match the original screws. Replace only like for like to avoid stressing components or creating misalignment.
When different metals are used, clean contact areas and avoid leaving assemblies wet for long periods. Regular inspection and cleaning minimise corrosion risk.
Replace any screw with rounded heads or damaged threads immediately, especially those in suspension or steering, to maintain safe operation and component alignment.
