Overview
The Axial Screw Shaft M3x2.5x13mm Black (10) is an essential replacement and upgrade part for RC enthusiasts maintaining and building their scale crawler models. Whether you're a dedicated rock crawler pilot, an RC car UK hobbyist, or someone who enjoys precision assembly work on ready to run RC vehicles, these quality fasteners are critical components that ensure reliable performance and longevity of your Axial models. This pack contains ten individual screw shafts, providing you with a practical supply for repairs, maintenance, and custom builds across multiple vehicles in your collection.
Manufactured by Axial, a recognised leader in the RC scale crawler community, these machine thread screws are engineered to exact specifications that match factory standards. The black finish provides a professional appearance whilst maintaining durability in outdoor use and challenging terrain. These grub head hex socket screws are designed for precision fitment on Axial scale models including the popular SCX10 II and SCX10 III ranges, making them an indispensable spare part for any serious RC enthusiast in the UK.
RC car maintenance requires access to quality replacement parts, and stocking spare fasteners is a sensible approach to minimise downtime between adventures. The M3x2.5x13mm specification ensures compatibility with specific assembly points on compatible Axial models, and having a pack of ten means you'll always have spares on hand for repairs, upgrades, or experimentation with custom modifications.
Key Features
- M3 Machine Thread Specification — These screws feature M3 metric machine threads that mate precisely with tapped holes in Axial chassis and structural components, ensuring secure fastening without stripping or wobbling during operation on rough terrain.
- 13mm Total Length — The 13mm length is designed to penetrate the correct depth into mating components whilst avoiding over-tightening or bottoming out, which is critical for maintaining proper assembly alignment and structural integrity on precision RC crawlers.
- 2.5mm Hex Driver Socket — The grub head design with a 2.5mm hex socket head allows for precise tightening with a standard hex key, giving you fine control over fastener tension and preventing cam-out damage to the screw head during installation or removal.
- Black Finish — The black coating provides visual consistency with modern Axial chassis designs whilst offering a degree of corrosion resistance, particularly important when your RC vehicle encounters wet ground, mud, or other challenging outdoor environments during off-road exploration.
- Pack of Ten Units — Receiving ten fasteners in each pack provides excellent value for money and ensures you maintain an adequate spare supply, reducing frustration caused by lost or damaged fasteners and keeping your RC vehicles in regular circulation rather than on the repair bench.
- OEM Quality Specification — These parts meet Axial's original equipment manufacturer standards, meaning they're designed and manufactured to the same exacting tolerances as the fasteners supplied with new models, guaranteeing compatibility and performance on your existing Axial crawler.
Technical Performance
The Axial Screw Shaft M3x2.5x13mm is engineered with precise metric specifications that ensure reliable performance in the demanding environment of scale rock crawling. The M3 thread diameter combined with the 2.5mm hex socket head creates an optimal balance between holding power and usability with standard RC hobby tools. The 13mm length is specifically calculated to provide adequate bite into chassis and component materials—typically aluminium or hardened plastic—without creating stress concentrations or weak points in the assembly. Quality machine threading ensures consistent fit across the entire pack, preventing the vibration-induced loosening that can occur with inferior fasteners during high-intensity off-road use. The black finish is applied to enhance durability and provide visual continuity with modern Axial colour schemes. These fasteners are suitable for use on various Axial crawler platforms including the SCX10 II Deadbolt, SCX10 III Jeep models, and other compatible chassis variants, making them versatile spares for any builder with multiple Axial vehicles in their collection.
