Overview
The AXIAL Cap Head M3x16mm Black Oxide (10) Z-AXA087 represents genuine Axial factory hardware engineered for reliability and precision in RC car builds and repairs. Whether you're maintaining your RC vehicle UK collection, replacing worn fasteners on your competition rig, or building a new scale crawler, these cap head screws are an essential component in any serious RC enthusiast's spare parts box. Axial hardware is recognised across the RC community as a trusted choice for durability and consistent performance.
These machine thread cap head screws come in a pack of 10 pieces, offering excellent value for hobbyists who regularly maintain and upgrade their RC cars and trucks. The black oxide coating provides both aesthetic appeal and corrosion resistance, making these fasteners suitable for both indoor and outdoor RC driving conditions. Whether you're working on trail trucks, rock crawlers, or any Axial-compatible vehicle, having a supply of quality replacement hardware ensures your RC machine stays in peak operating condition.
Built to the exacting standards Axial is known for, these screws are designed to work seamlessly with Axial vehicles and are perfect for anyone who demands reliability from their RC equipment. The precision engineering means they fit perfectly every time, reducing frustration during assembly and maintenance.
Key Features
- Precision Hex Head Design — The precision-engineered hex head ensures a perfect fit with your hex driver or socket, which is critical because a poor-fitting fastener can strip the head and render the screw useless, wasting time and requiring replacement during your RC build or repair.
- Black Oxide Coating — The durable black coating provides corrosion resistance and a professional appearance, protecting the steel underneath from oxidation and rust whilst giving your RC vehicle a high-quality finished look.
- Durable Steel Construction — Made from high-quality steel, these cap head screws are built to withstand the stresses and vibrations that RC vehicles experience during aggressive driving, jumps, and off-road bashings.
- Machine Thread Specification — The M3x16mm machine thread dimensions are specifically engineered for compatibility with Axial vehicles and platforms, ensuring they fit precisely where they're designed to go.
- Genuine Axial Factory Hardware — These are original equipment manufacturer screws built to last, meaning they meet the same quality standards as the parts originally fitted to your RC truck or crawler.
- Pack of 10 Pieces — The convenient 10-piece pack provides multiple replacement fasteners, so you always have spares on hand for maintenance, upgrades, or accidental loss during RC sessions.
Technical Performance
These M3x16mm cap head screws are precision-engineered fasteners that meet the exacting standards of Axial RC vehicles. The M3 designation refers to a 3mm diameter metric thread, whilst the 16mm length provides adequate engagement for most Axial platform applications. The machine thread construction ensures consistent thread pitch and strength, critical for maintaining structural integrity in RC vehicles that experience significant vibration and impact loads during driving. The black oxide finish is not merely cosmetic—it provides a protective layer against corrosion that extends the service life of the fasteners, particularly important for RC cars driven outdoors in the UK's variable climate. The precision hex head driver type means these screws work with standard hex socket tools, allowing quick and reliable installation without risk of rounding or stripping the head. Whether you're undertaking scheduled maintenance on your RC car UK model or making repairs after an off-road adventure, these fasteners deliver the reliability and performance you expect from Axial factory hardware.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Are these screws compatible with my Axial RC vehicle? — Yes, these M3x16mm cap head screws are genuine Axial factory hardware designed for compatibility with Axial RC platforms. They are specifically listed as compatible with vehicles such as the Axial 1/10 SCX10 II Deadbolt 4WD, though they may fit other Axial models as well. Always verify the correct size for your specific model before ordering.
- What makes these better than generic M3x16mm screws? — These are genuine Axial factory screws built to the manufacturer's exact specifications, ensuring perfect fit and reliability. The precision hex head design prevents stripping, and the black oxide coating provides superior corrosion resistance compared to uncoated fasteners. Axial hardware is engineered specifically for the demands of RC vehicles.
- Can I use these on other RC brands? — Whilst these are Axial-specific fasteners, other RC vehicles may use the same M3x16mm cap head screws. However, we recommend verifying compatibility with your vehicle's manual before using these on non-Axial models to ensure they fit correctly.
- How many screws do I need? — A single pack of 10 screws provides multiple fasteners for maintenance and repairs. Most RC vehicles may only require a few screws for a particular repair, making this pack excellent value as you'll have spares for future maintenance.
- What does the black oxide coating do? — The black oxide finish protects the steel fasteners from corrosion and oxidation, extending their lifespan particularly when used outdoors or in damp conditions. It also provides a professional, finished appearance to your RC build.
- Are these difficult to install? — No, these cap head screws are straightforward to install using a standard hex socket tool that fits the precision hex head. The consistency of genuine Axial hardware means they install smoothly without stripping concerns.
