Overview
The AXIAL Hex Socket Button Head M3x8mm Black Oxide fastener set is an essential hardware component for RC enthusiasts maintaining and building their scale models. This 10-pack of precision-engineered screws represents genuine OEM replacement parts engineered specifically for Axial RC vehicles, making them the ideal choice for anyone serious about keeping their RC car UK-ready and performing at its best. Whether you're a seasoned RC hobbyist, a weekend basher, or someone just discovering the world of RC crawlers and rock racers, having a reliable supply of quality fasteners is crucial for maintaining your investment and ensuring your model operates safely and reliably.
These hex socket button head screws have been specifically designed as replacement parts for a comprehensive range of Axial 1/10 and 1/8 scale RC models, including the incredibly popular SCX10 III series, RBX10 Ryft, RR10 Bomber, SMT10 Monster Jam, UTB18 Capra, and many more. The black oxide finish provides excellent corrosion resistance, which is particularly important if you're using your RC car outdoors on terrain that might expose it to moisture and adverse weather conditions. Unlike generic fasteners, these screws are engineered to exact specifications to ensure perfect fitment and secure assembly every time.
When you're running your RC rock crawler or scale truck through challenging terrain, the last thing you want is for fasteners to work loose or fail. These genuine Axial M3x8mm screws give you the peace of mind that comes with using manufacturer-approved components. They're affordable enough to stock multiple sets in your hobby toolkit, yet robust enough to handle the demands of competitive RC racing, trail crawling, or casual weekend driving.
Key Features
- Black Oxide Finish — The black oxide coating provides superior corrosion resistance compared to standard zinc-plated fasteners, meaning your RC model's hardware will maintain its appearance and functionality even after exposure to moisture, dirt, and outdoor conditions typical of RC car UK terrain.
- M3x8mm Precision Size — These screws are manufactured to exacting tolerances, ensuring they fit perfectly into the threaded holes designed specifically for Axial scale models, providing secure assembly without the risk of cross-threading or improper fitment.
- Hex Socket Design — The recessed hex socket head design allows you to apply precise turning force with an Allen key, minimising the risk of stripping the fastener head and providing superior control compared to slot-head or Phillips-head alternatives.
- Button Head Profile — The low-profile button head design means these screws sit flush with panels and components, maintaining the aesthetics of your scale model while preventing accidental snags or catches during assembly and disassembly.
- Genuine OEM Replacement Parts — These are authentic Axial-manufactured fasteners, not aftermarket imitations, ensuring they meet the exact engineering specifications required for your RC model's construction and longevity.
- 10-Pack Quantity — With ten screws in each pack, you'll have adequate spares for repairs, rebuilds, and maintenance, allowing you to keep multiple RC vehicles in working condition without constantly reordering.
- Compatibility with Multiple Axial Models — From the rugged SCX10 III rock crawlers to the high-performance RR10 Bomber rock racers, these fasteners are listed as replacement and optional parts for dozens of Axial scale RC vehicles.
Technical Performance
The M3x8mm specification indicates a 3-millimetre diameter thread with an 8-millimetre length from the underside of the button head to the end of the screw. The black oxide finish applied to these fasteners provides a protective coating that resists rust and corrosion far more effectively than bare steel, making them ideal for RC enthusiasts who take their vehicles off-road or use them in damp UK climates. The hex socket design means you'll need a 2.5mm or appropriate-sized Allen key for installation and removal. These screws are precision-manufactured to ISO specifications, ensuring consistent thread quality and dimensional accuracy across every fastener in the pack. The button head configuration provides a smooth, finished appearance that won't snag on body panels or components, whilst the recessed hex socket distributes torque evenly across the fastener head, reducing the likelihood of damage during assembly. Whether you're conducting routine maintenance on your RC crawler, replacing damaged fasteners after an accident, or building a new model from a kit, these screws deliver the reliability and precision you expect from genuine Axial components.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Are these fasteners suitable for all Axial RC models? — These M3x8mm hex socket button head screws are listed as replacement and optional parts for a wide range of Axial 1/10 and 1/8 scale models, including the SCX10 III, RBX10 Ryft, RR10 Bomber, SMT10 Grave Digger, UTB18 Capra, and many others. Always check your specific model's parts list to confirm compatibility before ordering, as different models may use different fastener sizes in different locations.
- Why choose black oxide over other finishes? — The black oxide finish provides superior corrosion resistance compared to standard zinc-plated or bare steel fasteners, which is especially important if you're running your RC car in wet conditions, muddy terrain, or using it near salt water. Black oxide won't flake or peel like some other coatings, and it maintains its protective properties even after years of use.
- What tools do I need to install these screws? — You'll need a 2.5mm hex (Allen) key to fit the recessed socket head. For best results, use a quality Allen key that fits snugly in the socket to avoid stripping the fastener head. A precision screwdriver set designed for RC work will give you the control needed for proper installation.
- How many screws do I get and how often will I need to reorder? — This pack contains 10 screws, which provides a good supply for routine maintenance, repairs, and repairs after crashes. Most RC hobbyists find it sensible to keep several packs on hand if they run multiple vehicles regularly, ensuring they never run short during an RC session.
- Will these fasteners work loose during driving? — Genuine Axial fasteners are engineered to precise tolerances to fit Axial's threaded holes perfectly, providing secure assembly that resists vibration-induced loosening. However, for added security during high-vibration activities like rock crawling or competitive racing, many RC enthusiasts apply a small amount of threadlock compound to their fasteners.
- Can I use these screws as replacements for stripped holes? — No, these fasteners are designed to work with properly-threaded holes. If you've stripped a hole in your RC model, you may need to drill it out and use a larger diameter fastener, or consult Axial's parts catalogue for repair kits designed to address stripped threads.
