Key Features
- Precision Hex Head Design — The precision-engineered hex head socket provides an exact fit with your hex driver tool, which helps prevent stripping of both the screw head and your driver bit during installation and removal, saving you time and frustration during maintenance and repairs.
- Durable Black Coated Steel Construction — Made from hardened steel with a black coating, these fasteners resist corrosion and wear even when exposed to dirt, mud, and moisture during outdoor RC driving sessions, ensuring they remain reliable through multiple seasons of use.
- M3x15mm Machine Thread Specification — The M3 diameter with 15mm length is a standard size for RC suspension components, body posts, and various mounting applications across Axial models, making these screws versatile for multiple repair and upgrade scenarios.
- Button Head Style — The low-profile button head design sits flush or slightly above surfaces, preventing snagging on body panels and ensuring a clean, professional appearance on your finished RC build.
- Pack of 10 Units — Each pack contains 10 individual screws, giving you spare fasteners for repairs, multiple projects, or future maintenance needs without needing to reorder frequently.
Technical Performance
These Axial hex socket button head screws represent genuine factory hardware engineered to the same exacting standards that Axial applies throughout its product line. The M3x15mm specification positions these fasteners as versatile components suitable for suspension work, body mounting, and various internal chassis applications across Axial's extensive RC vehicle range. The machine thread design ensures smooth engagement with compatible threaded inserts and nuts, providing secure fastening without the stripping issues that can plague lower-quality fasteners. The black steel construction undergoes careful coating processes to resist rust and degradation, critical for components that may be exposed to moisture during off-road RC adventures. The precision hex head socket accepts standard hex drivers (typically 2.0mm or 2.5mm depending on application), allowing you to apply consistent torque without the cam-out damage that plagues Phillips or flat-head alternatives. Whether you're maintaining a 1/10 scale RC buggy, restoring a rock crawler, or upgrading components on a short-course truck, these fasteners deliver the reliability you'd expect from factory Axial hardware. The button head profile keeps your RC build looking clean and professional while minimising interference with surrounding components and body work.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Are these genuine Axial factory components? — Yes, these are genuine Axial factory hardware designed and manufactured to Axial's quality standards. They are not aftermarket substitutes, which means you get the exact specifications and durability Axial engineers intended for their RC models and components.
- What size hex driver do these M3x15mm screws require? — While the exact hex driver size isn't specified in the source material, M3 hex socket screws typically require a 2.0mm or 2.5mm hex key driver. We recommend checking your specific Axial model's documentation or contacting our team to confirm the correct size for your application.
- Will these screws work on my RC car if it's not an Axial model? — The M3x15mm specification is a standard metric size used across many RC manufacturers. If your RC buggy, truck, or crawler has threaded holes or inserts that accept M3 fasteners, these screws will fit physically. However, for best results, we always recommend using genuine hardware designed for your specific vehicle brand.
- Why should I choose genuine Axial hardware over generic aftermarket screws? — Genuine Axial screws undergo quality control testing and are engineered with the exact tolerances needed for Axial's components. The precision hex head reduces the risk of stripping, the black steel coating resists corrosion better than bare fasteners, and you know they'll fit perfectly with Axial's threaded inserts and mounting points. This attention to detail is what separates factory hardware from budget alternatives.
- Can I use these screws for both suspension and body work on my RC model? — The M3x15mm specification makes these screws suitable for various RC applications including suspension components, body post mounting, and chassis work. However, always verify that your specific application calls for M3 fasteners and check your model's manual to ensure proper installation procedures.
- Is the black coating protective, or is it just for appearance? — The black coating serves both purposes. It provides corrosion resistance to protect the steel underneath from rust and degradation caused by exposure to dirt, moisture, and environmental conditions during outdoor RC driving. It also gives your finished RC build a cleaner, more professional aesthetic compared to bare steel fasteners.
