Those look like brushless motor screws. There is a movement to go to titanium or aluminum, as to not disturb the magnetic field in the motor as the steel screws do.

Those are Monster Max brushless motor stator screws. Aluminum, non-magnetic. Also, there are the 3 timing ring/sensor board screws. ;)

Okay, thanks Joey and Nomad. I would never have guessed...
Here's another dumb question; since both motor and non-ferrous screws came from Trinity, why didn't they simply assemble the motor with the screws??

In the photo you can easily see the close proximity of the screws to the magnet coils. I can see how this could be a problem so maybe they should avoid using steel screws.

I'm at the opposite end of the scale... have two packages awaiting pickup from work, and another one due (another M05 Mini, an ABC Hobby SW20 MR2 body, and some magnetic body mounts), but I've been on leave since before Christmas, and have another week off to go!

Then again, I probably don't need more projects jamming up the place..... :roll:
