Precision Titanium Screws for Competitive Builds

Tamiya 54421 titanium round head socket screws are a direct upgrade from standard steel fasteners. The 2x5mm titanium screws are well suited to securing side links on RM-01 and Formula One F104 ver.II chassis kits, offering reduced mass and dependable clamp at connection points used in racing setups.

Performance Benefits Explained

Titanium is prized for combining strength with low weight, which helps reduce overall vehicle mass without compromising joint integrity. This trade-off can contribute to crisper handling and more predictable responses on track.

Compatibility and Replacement Sizes

The 2x5mm screws are intended for side link applications on the RM-01 and F104 platforms. For parts such as the RM-01 servo saver and front uprights that use ball connectors, 2x8mm alternatives are commonly used to replace the corresponding steel screws.

Yes, titanium fasteners are often chosen for track builds because they combine low weight with good strength, but always inspect fittings regularly after track sessions.
Basic inspection and cleaning of threads is sufficient. Check for loosening and re-torque to the same snugness used during installation rather than overtightening.
Confirm thread size and head clearance on your chassis parts, and ensure you have the correct hex driver to avoid rounding the socket during assembly.
