- Button Head Design — The rounded button head profile provides a clean, professional appearance whilst offering excellent grip surface for hex key tools, reducing the risk of stripped fasteners during installation or maintenance work.
- Black Oxide Finish — This durable coating protects the steel beneath from corrosion and rust, which is critical when your RC car is exposed to mud, water, and outdoor elements during trail sessions and rock crawling adventures.
- Pack of Ten — You receive 10 individual screws in each pack, providing enough spares for maintenance tasks, repairs, or component upgrades across multiple RC models or multiple service intervals on a single vehicle.

Technical Performance
The Axial M3 x 16mm Button Head Screws are precision-engineered fasteners constructed from high-quality steel with a black oxide protective finish. The M3 metric thread size represents a 3mm diameter with a standard metric pitch, making these screws universally compatible across Axial's extensive range of 1/10 scale rock crawlers and buggies. The 16mm length provides the exact engagement depth required for numerous mounting applications throughout these vehicles, from suspension components to electronics trays and chassis brackets. The button head design, as opposed to countersunk or flat head alternatives, creates a larger bearing surface when tightened, distributing load more effectively across mounting surfaces and reducing the risk of pull-through failures during aggressive off-road use. The black oxide finish delivers superior corrosion resistance compared to uncoated steel, an essential quality when your RC car is regularly exposed to moisture, mud, and harsh outdoor environments. Each screw is manufactured to tight tolerances, ensuring consistent fit and reliability across your entire spares collection. Whether you're performing routine maintenance, replacing damaged fasteners after a crash, or building a custom Axial platform from the ground up, these screws deliver the dependable performance that serious RC hobbyists demand.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Which Axial models are compatible with M3 x 16mm button head screws? — These screws are listed as compatible replacement parts for numerous Axial 1/10 scale models including the RBX10 Ryft 4WD rock bouncer, the entire SCX10 III platform family (Base Camp, Coyote, Early Ford Bronco, Jeep CJ-7, Jeep JLU Wrangler, Jeep JT Gladiator, and Pro-Line variants), the SCX10 PRO kit, the UTB10 Capra trail buggy, and the AXP8 Gilamon 2.2 trail buggy. Always verify fitment with your specific model before ordering.
- Are these genuine Axial replacement parts? — Yes, these are genuine OEM Axial parts supplied under the manufacturer part number AXI235110. When you purchase from RC Model Shop, you are receiving authentic Axial components manufactured to the brand's quality standards.
- How often do I need to replace these fasteners? — Button head screws can last indefinitely if properly maintained, but you should inspect them regularly for corrosion or damage. It's wise to keep replacement screws on hand because they're common wear items that can be lost or damaged during off-road use, crashes, or routine maintenance disassembly.
- Can I use these screws for other RC vehicles? — Whilst the M3 x 16mm specification is standard metric sizing found on many RC vehicles, these screws are specifically designed and tested for Axial models. If you need fasteners for other brands or applications, verify compatibility first as thread pitch and length specifications can vary.
- What is the black oxide finish and why does it matter? — Black oxide is an electrochemical coating applied to steel that provides superior corrosion resistance without adding significant thickness or weight. This finish is essential for RC vehicles that will be exposed to water, mud, and moisture during off-road adventures, helping your fasteners resist rust and maintain reliable grip over time.
- How should I store these fasteners? — Keep your button head screws in a dry location, ideally in a sealed container or organiser box. The black oxide finish provides good corrosion protection, but storing them in a dry environment will extend their lifespan indefinitely and ensure you always have reliable spares available.
