Traxxas Button-Head Machine Screws 3x30mm Hex Drive 6 Pack TRX2582

Overview

The Traxxas Screws, 3x30mm button-head machine (hex drive) (6 pcs) TRX2582 are essential replacement fasteners for RC enthusiasts maintaining and repairing their Traxxas vehicles. Whether you're a serious RC racer, a weekend basher, or someone who enjoys building and customising their RC car UK collection, having the correct replacement screws on hand is crucial for keeping your models in top condition. These button-head machine screws are precision-engineered to Traxxas specifications, ensuring perfect fit and reliable performance across a wide range of Traxxas RC vehicles from short course trucks to trail crawlers.

Built to exacting standards, these M3 screws deliver the durability and consistency that Traxxas is renowned for throughout the RC hobby. Button-head machine screws are designed with a low-profile rounded head that sits flush with surrounding components, making them ideal for applications where space is limited or where a clean, streamlined appearance is desired. The hex drive design means you can apply torque efficiently without damaging the screw head, which is essential when working on delicate RC components that may be made from composite materials or aluminium.

With six screws per pack, you'll have sufficient fasteners for multiple repairs or upgrades. This makes the TRX2582 an ideal addition to any RC model builder's spare parts collection, whether you're upgrading your brushless RC truck, maintaining a ready to run RC crawler, or simply keeping spare parts on hand for emergency repairs during track days or off-road bashing sessions.

Key Features

• M3 Size Specification — These screws are precisely 3mm in diameter, making them the correct size for numerous Traxxas RC applications without requiring fitting modifications or cross-threading issues that can occur with incorrect fastener sizes.
• 30mm Length — The 30mm length provides the ideal penetration depth for securing components together on Traxxas RC vehicles, allowing sufficient thread engagement for vibration resistance whilst maintaining a low overall profile.
• Button-Head Design — The rounded button head sits flush and low on the component surface, protecting the fastener from catching on obstacles during off-road RC bashing and creating a professional, finished appearance on your RC car.
• Hex Drive Socket — The internal hex drive allows clean, precise torque application using standard hex keys or drivers, preventing head damage that can occur with Phillips or slot-head screws when working on premium RC equipment.
• Machine Thread Construction — These are proper machine screws with fine machine threading, providing superior holding power and reliability compared to self-tapping alternatives, essential for components subjected to vibration and impact forces during RC off-road and on-road driving.
• Six Pack Quantity — Each pack contains six individual screws, providing sufficient fasteners for multiple applications or allowing you to maintain a stock of spares for unexpected breakages during RC racing or bashing sessions.
• Genuine Traxxas Component — These are authentic Traxxas OEM (original equipment manufacturer) parts, guaranteeing compatibility and reliability across the extensive Traxxas RC range without the uncertainty of aftermarket alternatives.

Technical Performance

The Traxxas TRX2582 button-head machine screws are manufactured to ISO standards for precision fastening applications. The M3 specification denotes a metric thread diameter of 3 millimetres with machine threading that requires a pilot hole or existing threaded hole for installation. Machine screws differ from wood screws or sheet metal screws in that they are designed to work with pre-drilled or pre-tapped holes, ensuring precise fitment without the risk of cross-threading that can damage RC components. The 30mm length provides appropriate engagement depth for Traxxas structural and assembly applications, whether you're securing servo mounting plates on a brushless RC truck, fastening body panels to chassis frames on rally cars, or securing suspension components on trail crawlers. The button head design minimises protrusion, reducing the risk of catching on terrain during RC off-road driving or interfering with moving mechanical components. The hex drive accommodates standard metric hex keys and bit drivers, allowing consistent torque application without marring or stripping the fastener head. Black finish provides both aesthetic consistency with Traxxas components and enhanced corrosion resistance for outdoor RC applications. These screws will fit numerous Traxxas ready to run RC models and chassis kits, making them an indispensable maintenance item for any RC hobbyist with multiple vehicles in their collection.
