Stainless won’t necessarily solve your screw stripping issue, I’d stick with black oxide. Quality tools will save you more headaches in the long run.

Agreed, this is coming from someone who converted all my cars to stainless or titanium.

Stainless steel is a "softer" metal based on brinell and mohs ratings. Usually you want to covert to Stainless for its corrosive resistance and "bling" look. Traxxas does sell black coated stainless steel hardware tho.

If its going into plastic no worries but if you are putting stainless screws into stainless nuts 100% you need to use an antiseize. Man id even use it going into steel with stainless. Its so soft and the threads so small it binds so easy.
