Overview
The AXIAL Hex Socket Button Head M3x25mm Black (10) Z-AXA120 is an essential replacement hardware pack for RC enthusiasts and serious hobbyists working on Axial scale crawlers and rock buggies. This pack contains ten precision-engineered black oxide hex socket button head screws in M3x25mm specification, designed to meet the exact fitment requirements of numerous Axial vehicle platforms across the 1/6, 1/8, and 1/10 scales. Whether you're building a new Axial rock crawler from a kit, performing routine maintenance on your RC car UK collection, or replacing worn fasteners after an aggressive weekend bash session, these quality screws provide the reliability and durability expected from genuine Axial replacement parts.
Hex socket button head fasteners are among the most commonly replaced components in scale RC vehicles, as they experience constant vibration, stress, and wear during off-road driving and rock crawling applications. The black oxide finish not only provides a professional appearance that matches factory builds, but also offers enhanced corrosion resistance compared to standard steel fasteners. This makes them particularly valuable for UK RC enthusiasts who frequently operate their vehicles in damp weather conditions or after exposure to muddy terrain. Having a spare pack of these crucial screws on hand ensures you can quickly address any stripped, lost, or damaged fasteners without interrupting your RC hobby time.
This hardware pack is compatible with an extensive range of Axial models, including the popular SCX10 III series (such as the Jeep JLU Wrangler with Portals, Early Ford Bronco, Jeep CJ-7, and Jeep Gladiator Elite Edition variants), the SCX10 II range (Deadbolt, Jeep Cherokee, and others), the Capra Unlimited trail buggy platform, the RBX10 Ryft rock bouncer, and the premium 1/6 scale SCX6 series. If you're running a ready to run RC or building from a kit, you'll find these M3x25mm screws essential for assembly and maintenance.
Key Features
- M3x25mm Hex Socket Button Head Design — The specific M3 metric thread diameter and 25mm length make these screws ideal for securing components on 1/10 scale Axial models, whilst the button head style provides a low-profile appearance and the hex socket driver (also called Allen key fitting) enables precise tightening without stripping the fastener.
- Black Oxide Finish — The black oxide coating provides multiple advantages over bare steel, including enhanced corrosion resistance, a professional factory-finished appearance, and superior durability when exposed to moisture, mud, and other environmental contaminants commonly encountered during RC vehicle operation in the UK.
- Pack of 10 Screws — Each pack contains ten individual screws, giving you enough fasteners to complete typical assembly tasks, perform routine replacements, or build a small spare parts inventory for future maintenance and repairs.
- Genuine Axial Original Equipment — These screws are manufactured by Axial to their exacting specifications, ensuring perfect fit and compatibility with all listed Axial vehicle models and maintaining the quality standards expected from authentic OEM replacement parts.
- Wide Compatibility Across Axial Range — These fasteners work across multiple Axial platforms including SCX10 II, SCX10 III, Capra, RBX10, UTB10, and SCX6 models, making them a versatile addition to any Axial RC enthusiast's parts collection.
- Precision Machine Thread Construction — The fasteners feature precisely cut machine threads that provide secure, reliable fastening without requiring any special tools or techniques, and they maintain their grip through repeated assembly and disassembly cycles typical in RC vehicle maintenance.
Technical Performance
The AXIAL Hex Socket Button Head M3x25mm screws are precision-engineered fasteners manufactured to exacting tolerances to ensure reliable performance in demanding RC applications. The M3 metric thread specification provides the optimal balance between holding strength and ease of installation for 1/10 scale RC vehicles, whilst the 25mm length allows these screws to securely fasten components such as chassis plates, motor mounts, battery trays, servo brackets, and suspension components without protruding excessively through assembly points. The black oxide finish applied to these fasteners goes beyond mere aesthetics; it represents a chemical conversion coating that bonds permanently to the steel surface, providing multi-layer corrosion protection that proves invaluable when operating RC vehicles in British weather conditions or after exposure to wet, muddy terrain. The hex socket head design utilises a recessed hexagonal drive pattern, which distributes stress more evenly across the fastener head compared to Phillips or slot-drive alternatives, significantly reducing the risk of driver bit slippage and fastener stripping during installation or removal. Each screw maintains consistent dimensional accuracy and thread pitch, ensuring that replacement fasteners fit precisely in existing holes and engage smoothly with pre-threaded components or threaded inserts without requiring modification or forcing, a crucial consideration when maintaining factory-quality builds or repairing RTR (ready to run) models.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What Axial models are compatible with the M3x25mm hex socket button head screws? — These fasteners are officially listed as compatible parts for numerous Axial platforms, including the SCX10 III series (Base Camp, Coyote, Early Ford Bronco, Jeep CJ-7, Jeep JLU Wrangler with Portals, Jeep JT Gladiator, and Pro-Line variants), SCX10 II models (Deadbolt, Jeep Cherokee, and others), Capra Unlimited variants, RBX10 Ryft rock bouncers, UTB10 Capra trail buggies, and the 1/6 scale SCX6 Jeep JLU and Trail Honcho models. Additionally, they are compatible with various SCX10 builder kits and raw chassis platforms.
- Why do I need replacement hex socket button head screws for my RC crawler? — During normal RC operation, particularly in aggressive rock crawling, off-road bashing, and mountainous terrain driving, fasteners experience constant vibration and stress. Over time, screws can become loose, stripped, lost, or damaged. Maintaining a spare supply of quality replacement fasteners ensures you can quickly restore your vehicle to factory specifications without experiencing downtime. Having these screws on hand is essential for any RC enthusiast who regularly maintains their fleet.
- What does the black oxide finish do? — The black oxide coating is a chemical conversion finish that provides enhanced corrosion resistance compared to bare steel, making these screws ideal for UK-based RC operators who frequently encounter damp conditions, mud, and moisture exposure. The finish also gives the fasteners a professional, factory-finished appearance and helps prevent rust and discolouration during storage.
- Are these fasteners easy to install and remove? — Yes, these hex socket button head screws feature a recessed hexagonal drive pattern that accepts standard hex key (Allen key) drivers, allowing for precise tightening and loosening without risk of driver bit slipping or fastener damage. The precision machine threads engage smoothly with pre-threaded holes or threaded inserts, making installation and removal straightforward for both beginners and experienced RC technicians.
- How many screws should I keep in stock? — A pack of ten screws provides sufficient fasteners for typical assembly and maintenance tasks. Many experienced RC hobbyists maintain multiple packs as part of their spare parts inventory, ensuring they never run short during intensive building or competition seasons.
