They are both steel (try it yourself, magnets stick to them) and identical weight (weigh them yourself). Their bending strength should be identical.
They are not without value. The titanium nitrided finish is much harder and the ball stud will never wear out. And they look pimp.
What you need is bigger diameter washers under the ball stud. This will spread the load out and you will bend the stud less often. I'll try to get you a part#.

With the pure adenaline rush i got today running my SC10 4wd with the Copperhead R 550.
I dont think Id want it any faster. Tires ballooned like crazy...haha
It's gonna be so cool to race with this setup. Because another guy here is running the same system in the Losi 4wd.

Havoc is performing way good.
Using it with the Novak 550 4.5 12t/ 62s,Reedy 5700 65c saddles
Motor & Esc running cool, 130 degree..
My driver is very pleased with his new ride...
Already turning faster laps then with his old ride.
Orange is getting her done..

I'm jus worried the havoc wouldn't be able to handle the load of the 4.5 over time. Got some pics I'm about to post now, half way done... started modding my belt covers while I was waiting on some stuff to set... o.O

Here's where I started to get this in Wild_Cherry...
Had to do massive dremeling to the rear chassis brace.
Stock vs my work.
What made hard to fit was the poorly placed capacitors, or the inability to move them. I preferred my old Novak GTB setup personally, but this thing is gonna be a monster.. It's much smoother than the Tekin RX8/SC4X 4.5 combo, I can already feel it in the trigger.
What I had to do was build a small bracket to put into the chassis to raise it JUST enough for the capacitors to clear the chassis. If it was the plastic chassis, I wouldn't have had to at all, and could have jus dremeled the plastic rear brace on the inside to slide it in easy to work with saddle packs.
(future reference for that Cherry).
It looks higher than it actually is, the ESC is just massive. It's probably only 1/4" to 3/8" higher than if it were resting on the chassis itself.
And the finished product
The Power on/off switch even had a big enough mounting hole to fit nicely between the brace and on the cover itself.

A user posted something that was factually wrong. I pointed it out and stated that it was "bad tech" - not to be insulting, but because it was. As a result, I received a scolding and an infraction from the well intentioned moderation staff.
How many different nice ways can you say someone doesn't know what he is writing about without resorting to resorting to an obviously out of bounds:

So thats it, i give up. Apparently my way isn't appropriate. I did everything I in my ability to remain civil and fact based, but apparently that's not good enough and I'm tired of being nice to people who don't deserve it.
So, to thoseSC10 users who read this, I bid you a sincere and heartfelt:
