Key Features
- Precision Hex Head Design — The hex socket head is engineered to provide an exact fit with your hex driver bit, which prevents the rounding and stripping that commonly occurs with lower-quality fasteners, ensuring your screws stay tight and secure through rough terrain and repeated use.
- Black Oxide Coating — These fasteners are coated with black oxide, which provides enhanced durability and corrosion resistance, helping them maintain their finish and structural integrity even after exposure to dirt, water, and the elements during outdoor RC adventures.
- M3x18mm Specifications — The M3 diameter and 18mm length make these screws compatible with a wide selection of Axial RC vehicles including the SCX10 III, Capra, Ryft, Yeti, and other popular models, making them essential replacement hardware for maintaining your fleet.
- Machine Thread Construction — These fasteners use machine thread specification, meaning they're manufactured to precise tolerances that ensure smooth installation and removal without the risk of cross-threading or damage to receiving holes.
- Button Head Style — The button head design offers a lower profile than traditional socket head caps, making these screws ideal for applications where clearance is limited and a flush, clean appearance is desired on your RC chassis and body panels.
- Pack of 10 — Each pack contains ten individual screws, providing enough fasteners to complete repairs, maintenance, or full assemblies on multiple RC models, or to have spares on hand for the next outdoor bashing session.
- Genuine Factory Hardware — As official Axial factory parts, these screws are manufactured to the same standards and specifications as the hardware supplied with new Axial kits and ready-to-run vehicles, ensuring perfect compatibility and reliability.
Technical Performance
These M3x18mm hex socket button head fasteners represent the hardware foundation that keeps high-performance 1/10 and 1/8 scale RC vehicles operating smoothly and reliably. Constructed from durable black oxide-coated steel, these machine-thread fasteners are engineered to withstand the continuous stress and vibration that comes with aggressive off-road driving, rock crawling, and high-speed racing. The precision hex socket ensures that your driver bit engages perfectly with each screw, reducing the risk of bolt head damage that can ruin a fastening operation. The 18mm length provides the correct extension needed for many chassis mounting points, suspension components, and body attachment locations across the Axial range. Whether you're maintaining a brushless 4WD rock crawler like the SCX10 III or a high-performance rock racer such as the Yeti, having a supply of these genuine factory fasteners ensures you can perform repairs and maintenance without compromises. The black oxide finish not only enhances the visual appeal of your RC build but also provides measurable corrosion resistance, particularly important for UK enthusiasts who may use their vehicles in wet conditions or leave them stored between sessions. These screws are compatible with an extensive list of Axial models spanning multiple generations and vehicle types, making them one of the most versatile hardware components you can stock for your RC workshop.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Are these genuine Axial factory parts? — Yes, these M3x18mm hex socket button head screws are authentic Axial factory hardware, manufactured to the same exacting standards as the fasteners supplied with new Axial RC kits and ready-to-run vehicles. This ensures perfect compatibility and the reliability you expect from genuine factory parts.
- What Axial models use these M3x18mm screws? — These fasteners are compatible with a wide range of Axial vehicles including the SCX10 III series (Jeep JLU Wrangler, Early Ford Bronco, Jeep Gladiator, Jeep CJ-7, Coyote, Base Camp, and Pro-Line variants), as well as the Capra, RBX10 Ryft, SMT10 Grave Digger, Yeti, Wraith, RR10 Bomber, and numerous other current and legacy models. If you're unsure whether these screws fit your specific model, we recommend checking the vehicle's parts diagram or contacting our team.
- Can I use these screws for repairs and maintenance? — Absolutely. These screws are ideal replacement hardware for maintaining any compatible Axial RC model. Whether you're replacing worn fasteners, repairing damage, or simply refreshing your vehicle's hardware during a service, these M3x18mm socket button heads are the correct choice for ensuring your RC vehicle performs at its best.
- Why should I choose genuine factory fasteners over aftermarket alternatives? — Genuine Axial factory hardware is engineered to precise specifications that ensure perfect fit and function with your RC vehicle. The precision hex socket design prevents bolt head stripping, the black oxide coating provides enhanced durability, and the exact dimensions guarantee compatibility. Aftermarket fasteners often vary in quality and tolerance, potentially leading to cross-threading, loose connections, and bolt failure. Choosing factory parts means you're making a maintenance investment that pays dividends in reliability and longevity.
- Are these fasteners suitable for use in wet conditions? — The black oxide coating provides corrosion resistance that helps protect these fasteners from rust and oxidation when exposed to moisture. However, for maximum durability in wet conditions, it's good practice to allow your RC vehicle to dry after use and inspect fasteners periodically for any signs of corrosion.
- Can I use a standard 2.5mm hex driver with these screws? — Yes, the M3 hex socket accepts a standard 2.5mm hex driver bit or socket tool. The precision engineering means the fit should be exact, without the looseness or wobble that can occur with lower-quality fasteners.
- How many vehicles can I maintain with one pack of 10 screws? — This depends on the extent of your maintenance or repair work. A single pack of 10 screws provides enough fasteners for partial repairs or maintenance on multiple vehicles, or for a complete hardware refresh on one model. Many RC enthusiasts keep several packs in stock to ensure they always have spares available for repairs and maintenance sessions.
