Key Features
- M3 Thread Size — These screws feature an M3 metric thread specification, which is a standard sizing used across many Traxxas RC vehicle platforms, ensuring perfect compatibility with your model's fastening points and allowing for reliable, secure assembly without cross-threading or over-tightening issues.
- 6mm Length — The 6mm length is precisely engineered to provide adequate grip depth in the threaded holes of Traxxas components whilst remaining compact enough to avoid interference with other mechanical parts, making these ideal for detailed assembly work on RC cars.
- Button-Head Design — The rounded, button-head profile provides a clean, professional appearance compared to standard flat-head screws, whilst also reducing the risk of sharp edges that could snag wiring harnesses, suspension components or body panels during assembly and maintenance.
- Hex Drive — The hex drive socket accommodates a standard Allen key or hex driver, allowing for precise torque application and reducing the risk of tool slippage or screw head damage that can occur with inferior Phillips or slot-drive alternatives, a critical consideration for reliable RC car assembly.
- Machine Thread Profile — These are machine screws with a refined thread pitch, distinguishing them from coarser fasteners and providing superior holding strength in precision-threaded holes, essential for maintaining structural integrity on high-performance RC vehicles.
- Six-Piece Pack — The set includes six individual screws, providing a practical quantity for complete replacement of fasteners in multiple assemblies or giving you comfortable spares for future maintenance without needing to order multiple packs.
- Black Finish — The professional black coating provides corrosion resistance and protects the fasteners from oxidation and weathering, particularly important if you regularly run your RC car in wet or outdoor conditions, helping to maintain aesthetic appeal and structural integrity over extended use.
- Genuine Traxxas OEM Part — As an official Traxxas part number TRX2575, these screws represent the exact specification used in factory assembly, guaranteeing perfect fitment and compatibility with your RC vehicle and eliminating the risk of purchasing inferior aftermarket fasteners that could compromise your model's reliability.
Technical Performance
The Traxxas TRX2575 button-head machine screws represent precision fastening engineering optimised for the demanding requirements of RC vehicle maintenance and assembly. Manufactured to exact specifications, these M3 metric screws measure 6mm in length and feature a refined machine thread profile that ensures superior grip strength in threaded mounting points across Traxxas platforms. The button-head design with hex drive socket represents a significant advantage over inferior fastener designs, as it eliminates the potential for tool slippage whilst minimising stress concentration that could lead to screw head stripping. The black finish provides a protective coating that resists oxidation and corrosion, critical for RC cars that may encounter moisture during outdoor bashing or water-crossings in brushless RC crawler models. The engineering precision of these fasteners reflects Traxxas's commitment to component quality throughout their vehicle range, from entry-level ready to run models to high-performance competition vehicles. Users of 1/10 scale Traxxas models including the Rustler Ultimate VXL 4x4, Slash Ultimate 4x4 VXL, Stampede 4X4 HD VXL, and all variants of the TRX-4 crawling platform will find these screws essential for chassis assembly, suspension work, and electronics mounting. The compact size allows for detailed assembly work without interference, whilst the robust construction ensures these fasteners will withstand the vibration and mechanical stress inherent in RC vehicle operation across various terrain types.
