    I have never seen hex cap screw in Titanium for H8. There is + titanium screw set available from a couple of places. I personally don't use Titanium screws. They are not as strong as alloy steel (12.9, 10.9 Din). The same is true of Stainless Steel, not as strong as alloy steel and save no weight. I have not had good luck with SS though they look pretty.
    If you like the bling, go with alloy in colors. If you like strength, alloy steel (usually black). If you want to blow money on bragging rights, then Titanium is your best bet.

    One thing, in the sizes for the replacement of TP and machine screws in the H8/ST, you are going to have a hard time finding screws in less than 50 packs, some are 100 pieces. That is the problem with not using a packager for screw sets, the numbers are all wrong. You can spend a lot of money buying screws you will never use.

    Let me know if you are interested in a set of alloy 12.9/10.9 hex head machine screws for H8/ST.
    I may be able to help, or know someone that can.

    The problem with screw sets is do you want the stock screws replaced, are you setting up a Eclipse or PittBull chassis, or something in between.

    The Eclipse and PittBull chassis are setup up with different screw sets because most of the itty bitty stuff with the batt. doors, and plastice parts in between the ctr diff and the outer bulkheads are gone.
    I guess a good set would be all the bulkhead screws replaced, bottom mount screws (flush heads) and motor mount screws, motor to mount and mount to chassis. I have replaced all the screws in the diff that hold the cups with machine screws and they go together much tighter and straighter.

    The other thing is, Like BitHed did, it makes sense to change as many of the bottom and top mount screws to 3mm instead of 2.5/2.6mm TP screws. You can't do that if you use a 3Racing ctr diff mount but it works nicely with the stock ctr diff mount. The ctr diff housing is much stronger and straighter with real screws in it. (imho).

    So, there are many options and each screw set would have to be custom built, or at least some chassis componnent sections would have to be different.
