About the Titanium Screw Kit
Why Titanium?
Titanium is strong, dense and super lightweight. In fact, Titanium has one of the highest strength-to-density ratios of all the metal compounds, making it the best advantage for dropping weight without sacrificing strength or durability.
6AL-4V Grade 5
6AL-4V, or more commonly known as "Grade 5", is a Titanium alloy mixture composed of 6% aluminum and 4% vanadium. It is significantly stronger than pure titanium but more expensive to manufacture. Grade 5 is the most widely used titanium alloy for its excellent combination of low weight, high strength and corrosion resistance.

*NOTE:
- Please refer to your instruction manual for correct screw placement.
- ProTek R/C recommends using steel screws at the bottom of the chassis. Using titanium screws at the bottom would raise the CG, reduce stability and corner speed.
- To Maximize the life of ProTek R/C Titanium Screws:
- Never use with a worn Allen hex tip.
- Never use in areas where Loctite is to be used.
- Never use in high-stress areas, such as shock mounts or chassis brace
