Overview
The AXIAL Cap Head M2x8mm Black (10) Z-AX31066 is an essential fastening component for RC enthusiasts and model builders in the UK who demand precision engineering and reliability in their RC vehicles. These genuine Axial cap head screws are specifically designed to work with critical drivetrain components, such as the AR44 differential locker assembly, where secure fastening is absolutely vital to maintaining optimal performance. Whether you are a seasoned RC car UK competitor, a weekend basher, or someone just getting started with ready to run RC vehicles, having quality replacement fasteners on hand ensures your model is always in peak condition.
These M2x8mm cap head screws represent the engineering excellence that Axial is known for throughout the RC hobby community. When used in the correct application—such as attaching the AR44 ring gear to the locker assembly—they provide the secure, reliable fastening that prevents slop in your drivetrain and maintains the precision tolerances that separate a well-tuned RC car from one that underperforms. The pack of 10 provides multiple replacement options, making this an economical choice for those who maintain their own RC models or who want to keep spares readily available.
For RC enthusiasts building or maintaining 1/10 scale RC crawlers, buggies, and other vehicles that utilise Axial drivetrain components, these fasteners are a must-have item. The black finish provides a professional appearance whilst the M2x8mm dimensions ensure compatibility with the precise specifications required by modern RC engineering.

Technical Performance
The AXIAL Cap Head M2x8mm Black (10) fasteners represent precision engineering at its finest for RC applications. M2x8mm cap head screws are metric-sized fasteners with a 2mm diameter and 8mm length, designed specifically for delicate RC components where over-sized fasteners would cause problems. In the context of Axial's AR44 differential locker assembly, these three screws work together to create a rigid connection between the locker and the ring gear, dramatically reducing drivetrain slop that would otherwise result in lost power transfer and unpredictable handling. The cap head design—featuring a recessed hex socket—allows for precise tightening without stripping, a critical feature when working with small-scale fasteners. Axial's engineering ensures these screws are manufactured to tight tolerances, meaning they will fit perfectly in pre-drilled holes and maintain consistent clamping force throughout your RC vehicle's operating life. Whether you are running a 1/10 scale RC crawler over technical terrain or enjoying high-speed bashing, having properly fastened drivetrain components using quality screws like these is essential for reliability and longevity. These genuine Axial fasteners ensure your RC car UK investment continues to perform at its best.
