Key Features
- Genuine Traxxas OEM Component — These are official factory replacement parts from Traxxas, ensuring perfect compatibility and reliability with your Traxxas RC vehicles, giving you confidence in every fastening.
- M2.5 Machine Thread — The precise M2.5 thread specification means these screws will engage smoothly and securely with the threaded holes in Traxxas chassis and components, maintaining consistent holding power.
- Countersunk Head Design — The countersunk profile allows the screw head to sit flush with the mounting surface, providing a clean appearance and preventing the head from catching on obstacles or interfering with moving parts during operation.
- Hex Drive Socket — Unlike slotted or Phillips head alternatives, the hex drive design minimises the risk of stripping the screw head, making assembly and disassembly far more reliable and consistent over repeated use.
- 8mm Length — The 8mm length provides adequate thread engagement whilst preventing over-tightening or bottoming out, ensuring optimal load distribution and fastening reliability.
- Black Finish — The black colour coating provides corrosion resistance and a professional appearance that matches factory Traxxas components, maintaining your model's aesthetic appeal.
- Pack of Six — This convenient six-piece pack provides multiple replacement fasteners, allowing you to service several models or maintain a spare supply for future maintenance needs.
Technical Performance
These Traxxas machine screws are manufactured to exacting OEM specifications that ensure perfect fitment with the corresponding threaded holes and mounting points found throughout the Traxxas vehicle range. The M2.5 machine thread specification is a globally recognised standard widely used in precision RC and model engineering applications, providing reliable engagement and repeatable assembly characteristics. The countersunk head design is particularly important in RC applications because it eliminates proud fastener heads that could snag on terrain, interfere with suspension movement, or damage body panels during impacts. The hex drive socket accommodates standard hex key tools ranging from hobby-grade multi-tools to professional workshop equipment, making these screws accessible to builders of all skill levels. The 8mm length has been carefully engineered to provide sufficient thread engagement for secure fastening without excessive protrusion through the mounting point, which would cause performance issues or create weak points in the assembly. The black finish provides UV resistance and protects against corrosion in outdoor conditions, important for vehicles operated in the British climate where moisture exposure is frequent. Whether you're performing chassis maintenance, reattaching body mounts, securing electronics trays, or undertaking complete rebuild operations on your Traxxas TRX-4 trail crawler, TRX-4 Defender, Chevrolet K10 Cheyenne, Ford F-150 Ranger, or other compatible models, these genuine fasteners maintain the quality and reliability that Traxxas vehicles are famous for.

If you're unsure whether these screws will fit your specific model, consult your vehicle's manual or contact our expert team at RC Model Shop.
- Why should I use genuine Traxxas replacement screws instead of generic alternatives? — Genuine Traxxas parts are engineered to exact OEM specifications, ensuring perfect fitment, consistent thread engagement, and reliable performance that matches factory standards. Generic alternatives may have slight dimensional variations that cause loose fastening, overtightening risks, or stripped threads. By using authentic Traxxas screws, you maintain your vehicle's structural integrity and preserve resale value.
- How often should I check and replace the fasteners on my RC vehicle? — Regular maintenance is essential for RC vehicles. Inspect fasteners before and after each use, checking for looseness caused by vibration and impact. Tightness specifications vary by component, so consult your vehicle manual for proper torque guidance. Keep a supply of replacement screws like these TRX2524 fasteners readily available so you can quickly address any fastener issues without delaying your RC experience.
- What tools do I need to install these hex drive screws? — The hex drive design accommodates standard metric hex key tools. A quality multi-tool with interchangeable hex sockets or a dedicated hex key set will work perfectly. Many RC builders prefer ball-end hex keys for angled access in tight spaces around the chassis and suspension components.
- Are these screws waterproof? — Whilst the black finish provides corrosion resistance, these are standard machine screws designed for secure fastening rather than hermetic waterproofing. The screws themselves will not prevent water ingress, but when properly tightened into the designated mounting points, they contribute to the overall structural integrity of your vehicle assembly. For waterproof considerations, consult your vehicle's waterproofing specifications in the manual.
