On carpet the steering response is more direct. 2 versions are available, one clear version and one semi-painted version, which needs one or more colors to finish it. The body comes complete with masking sheet and head- tail-light / grill sheet.
T-Work’s titanium screws are made from true 6AL/4V grade titanium and precision CNC machined to give you reliability and weight savings over regular steel screws. The titanium is of the same grade as their popular and nearly indestructible turnbuckles, which has a unique glossy finish compared to lower grade titanium, thus the need to be CNC machined instead of being pressed into shape from a mold as used with softer metals. Their starting line up will include M3 and M4 hex wrench button and Countersink head screws in various lengths with socket head and other metric and imperial sizes to follow.
