That makes it ideal for Blinky-class racers looking to get closer to minimum weight while running larger battery packs for more available power.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt also offers potential gains in Modified racing: testing has shown improved corner speed and increased forward traction, giving a different handling balance to the heavier steel chassis.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSKU\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eThickness\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eWeight\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTKSM-241\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1.5mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eapprox. 117g\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe titanium chassis DOES NOT include screws.\u003c\/strong\u003e It requires 120-degree countersunk M3 flat-head screws.

Using non-120-degree screws will enlarge the holes and permanently damage the plate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlthough you may find this type of screw on the market, we strongly recommend using Takashima D-13 factory-custom screws for the best installation results:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEach screw specification is made from its own independent mould.
