Key Features
- Pack of 10 Units — Each pack contains 10 individual set screws, giving you plenty of spares to keep on hand for replacements, repairs, and new builds, ensuring you're never without this essential fastener when you need it most.
- M5 Size Specification — The M5 metric sizing ensures perfect compatibility with ARRMA RC models and other vehicles engineered to ISO specifications, delivering precise fit and reliable clamping force without stripped threads or loose connections.
- 5x5mm Dimensions — The 5mm diameter shaft combined with 5mm length provides the ideal balance of strength and fit for critical assemblies throughout RC car builds, from motor retention to suspension geometry adjustments.
- Hex Driver Type — These set screws feature a hexagonal socket design, compatible with standard hex keys and Allen wrenches, making installation and removal quick, easy, and consistent without requiring specialist tools.
- Machine Thread Construction — The machine thread design ensures positive engagement and reliable load transfer, critical for maintaining structural integrity on high-performance brushless RC vehicles subjected to intense vibration and dynamic forces.
- Grub Head Design — The grub screw head style sits flush or recessed into applications, minimising snagging risks and creating a cleaner overall appearance while maintaining maximum strength in critical retention points.
- Black Finish — The durable black coating provides excellent corrosion resistance, protecting against rust and oxidation even when exposed to wet conditions during outdoor RC track and trail sessions across the UK.
- Genuine ARRMA Component — As an official ARRMA spare part, these set screws are manufactured to the exact specifications and quality standards demanded by the brand, ensuring they perform identically to the fasteners in your original RC model.
- Verified Compatibility — These set screws are explicitly designed for use with ARRMA ready-to-run RC models including the 1/7 LIMITLESS 8S AVC and 1/5 Outcast 4X4 platforms, guaranteeing perfect fit and function.
Technical Performance
The ARRMA Set Screw 5x5mm represents precision engineering applied to what many consider a simple fastener. The M5 metric sizing, combined with the 5x5mm specification, reflects careful engineering calibration to deliver optimal strength-to-weight ratio essential in competitive RC applications. The machine thread construction provides superior engagement compared to alternative screw designs, creating reliable load transfer that resists loosening under the extreme vibration forces generated by high-powered brushless motors. The hexagonal socket design accepts standard metric hex keys, enabling quick installation and removal without requiring proprietary tools or specialist equipment. The grub head configuration means these screws sit flush within applications, reducing protrusion risks that could catch on obstacles or interfere with moving components. The black finish provides genuine corrosion protection important for RC models regularly used outdoors in variable UK weather conditions. Whether you're working on an ARRMA 1/7 LIMITLESS 8S AVC delivering serious speed and performance, or maintaining an ARRMA 1/5 Outcast 4X4 8S BLX engineered for extreme stunt driving capability, these set screws deliver the reliability foundation these platforms demand. Quality fasteners form the invisible backbone of any well-maintained RC car, and this ARRMA pack ensures you're always prepared with genuine replacement parts engineered to the same specification as the originals.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What are set screws used for in RC cars? — Set screws are small fasteners with a flat or socket head that sit flush into applications, used extensively throughout RC models for securing motor bells to shafts, retaining suspension components, mounting servo horns, adjusting chassis geometry, and countless other critical assemblies where conventional bolts would protrude too far or create snagging hazards.
- Will these ARRMA set screws fit my RC model? — These screws are manufactured specifically for ARRMA RC vehicles and are verified as compatible with the ARRMA 1/7 LIMITLESS 8S AVC in both Red/Black and White/Blue colour schemes, and the ARRMA 1/5 Outcast 4X4 8S BLX brushless stunt truck platform, though other ARRMA models using M5 fasteners will also accept them perfectly.
- Are these genuine ARRMA parts or cheap alternatives? — These are 100% genuine ARRMA spare parts manufactured to the brand's exacting standards, not generic hardware store fasteners or questionable third-party copies, ensuring they deliver identical performance and reliability to the fasteners included in your original ARRMA ready-to-run RC model.
- How many set screws should I keep in stock? — Keeping multiple packs on hand is sensible because set screws are consumable items lost during crashes, races, and maintenance, and this 10-pack ensures you always have spares available without needing to order emergency replacements when you're ready to get back on the track.
- What tools do I need to install these set screws? — The hexagonal socket design requires only a standard metric hex key or Allen wrench in the appropriate size, making installation and removal straightforward without needing specialist or proprietary tools, ideal for trackside maintenance and emergency repairs.
- Can I use these screws on RC models from other manufacturers? — While these are ARRMA-specific parts engineered for ARRMA platforms, other RC vehicles designed with M5 metric threading can potentially use them, though always verify compatibility with your specific model to avoid damage or poor fit.
- Are these set screws waterproof? — The black finish provides excellent corrosion resistance protecting against rust and oxidation, ideal for RC models regularly used outdoors in variable UK weather conditions, though the screws themselves are not sealed and will not waterproof assemblies on their own.
