Lightweight Titanium Fasteners from Tamiya 42238

Hobbyists who want to trim weight can rely on the Tamiya 42238 - RC 3x8mm Hollow Titanium Screw set as a sensible hardware swap. Machined from titanium, these screws provide a lighter alternative to conventional steel fasteners while remaining robust.

Titanium: Strength and Low Mass

The material offers a strong strength-to-weight characteristic, which helps lower the model's mass and can improve agility. These screws are especially useful where small weight gains translate into better handling.

Where to Use These Screws

With a 3x8mm profile these screws are suitable for a number of mounting points on RC kits. They are intended for use in places where lighter fasteners benefit performance, but always confirm fit against your model parts.

Do these screws resist corrosion in humid conditions?

Titanium is naturally resistant to corrosion, making these screws a good choice for models used in damp environments, though rinsing and drying after heavy exposure is still good practice.

Can I use hollow screws on load bearing parts?

Hollow screws save weight but may not be ideal where maximum shear or impact strength is required. Use them for trim components, electronics mounts and other non-critical fixings.

What driver should I use to avoid stripping the head?

Use the correct size driver or bit that matches the screw head, and apply steady pressure. Avoid worn bits and over-torquing to protect the fastener.

Are these screws compatible with aluminium parts?

They generally are compatible, but check for galvanic corrosion risk in certain setups and consider using washers or isolation where dissimilar metals meet.
