Lightweight Titanium Fasteners for GT-01 Chassis

If you want a straightforward upgrade for the GT-01, the Tamiya 40550 Titanium Screw Set supplies purpose-built titanium fasteners for the GT-01 TT-Gear. These screws replace stock hardware with lighter components to help improve assembly precision and reduce rotating mass where it matters.

Kit Contents and Screw Breakdown

  • Hex Head Screws: 2.6x5mm (x2), 2.6x8mm (x17), 2.6x12mm (x12), 2.6x18mm (x5)
  • Hex Head Countersunk Screws: 2.6x6mm (x2), 2.6x7mm (x2), 2.6x8mm (x4), 2.6x12mm (x1), 2.6x14mm (x4)

Why Fit Titanium Fasteners

Titanium offers an excellent strength to weight ratio, so swapping to the Tamiya 40550 set trims grams without sacrificing durability. The result is a GT-01 chassis that stays precise under race conditions and holds hardware reliably through repeated use.

These screws are specified for the GT-01 TT-Gear layout and match the original lengths and threads used there. Some sizes may fit other models but compatibility is not guaranteed.
Use a standard 2.6mm hex driver or hex nut driver that matches the head style. A good fit reduces the risk of rounding the heads.
Check screw tightness periodically and avoid over-torquing. For metal-to-metal joints consider a small amount of thread locker rated for titanium if you need extra security.
