Reduce Chassis Weight on the XV-02 with Titanium Fixings

The Tamiya 47488 XV-02 Titanium Screw Set replaces bulkier steel fasteners with titanium equivalents to remove roughly 23 grams from your XV-02 chassis. The lower unsprung mass helps fine-tune handling and responsiveness when you are dialling in setup.

Practical Installation Notes

Keep the motor cap screw from the kit for the motor mount. For stubborn or worn threads, using Item 54232 (M3 x 0.5mm Thread Forming Tap) will help form clean threads. This screw set is intended for use on XV-02 chassis cars only.

How many grams does fitting this set save?

The switch to titanium fasteners reduces fastener weight by about 23 grams compared to the supplied steel screws.

Are these screws corrosion resistant for seaside flying fields?

Titanium offers better corrosion resistance than steel, but rinse and dry components after exposure to salty conditions to keep hardware lasting longer.

Can I replace every screw on the chassis with these?

The set covers most common mounting points, but check lengths and head types before substituting every fastener to avoid clearance issues.

Will fitting titanium screws change ride height or camber?

The screws are primarily for weight and durability, so they should not directly affect ride height or camber, though reduced mass can slightly influence handling feel.
