$60 bucks is a little pricey for a screw kit. I personally would go with 12.9 grade steel screws. Heavier, but much stronger and cheaper.

ti screws are not good for rc's. They tend to snap really easy and end up costing you a lot in parts because of it. Look for a good 12.9grade screw kit. Best screws ever.

E-mail Tony, he recently got his hands on SAE screws and put together some XXX-NT kits along with some AE RC10GT kits. I'm sure he'll help you out. Great guy to do business with.

On the tools
I got the Inegey ones for $30 and I am pretty happy with them. I am actually wanting a different set but I dunno where to find them. It has an OCTOGON shape with WIHO in it and they are made in Germany. Also it has on it CV. MOLYBDAN with two dots above the A. It is Black handel with a RED swivel end cap. I can say worth every penny and very durable, I expect that these will cost. Any one know who makes these and where to get them. If your not breakin parts your not going fast enough-Biodragen NTC3 RTR assoc .15 NTC3 OS .18 Losi 8T, JR8611a ST servo, Futaba 9350 Th\Brk Servo, RB-C6BB Motor and Novarossi 528XR.

I know I don't carry much cred on this site, but RC Screwz (sic) makes a great stainless kit for $25-. I was so impressed by the quality I ordered two for my Revo. Sorry I don't have a link, but a simple web search will find 'em easy. Later - DaveB
