• Hex Socket Drive — The internal hex drive design means you can use standard hex keys for installation and removal, making these screws compatible with tools you likely already own as an RC hobbyist.
• Machine Thread Construction — These are precision machine-threaded fasteners rather than wood screws, which means they create their own thread path and provide superior holding strength in the materials used in RC vehicle construction.
• Black Finish — The professional black coating provides excellent corrosion resistance, which is particularly important if you take your RC cars out in wet UK weather conditions or use them in damp environments.
• Set of Six Pieces — Each pack contains six screws, giving you multiple fasteners to replace worn or damaged screws, or to keep as emergency spares in your RC toolbox.

Technical Performance

These Traxxas Button Head Machine Screws represent precision engineering in a compact form factor. At M3 size with a 27mm overall length, they are meticulously manufactured to ISO standards for machine threads, ensuring consistent pitch and diameter that matches the threaded holes in Traxxas RC vehicles. The button head design is engineered to provide adequate bearing surface while maintaining a low profile that doesn't interfere with moving parts or body panels. The hex socket (also known as Allen head or socket head) design allows for efficient tightening and loosening using standard metric hex keys, providing superior grip compared to Phillips or slotted drives. The black finish is applied through a durable coating process that protects the steel fastener from rust and corrosion, which is essential in the UK's variable weather conditions. Whether you're building or repairing brushless RC crawler models, trail trucks, or scale RC vehicles, these screws provide the reliable fastening solution that ensures your model stays together during demanding use. The material composition and manufacturing tolerances ensure these screws won't strip easily, providing consistent holding power through countless assembly and disassembly cycles.

• Why should I buy genuine Traxxas screws instead of aftermarket fasteners? — Genuine Traxxas screws are manufactured to exact specifications that match the threaded holes and mechanical requirements of Traxxas vehicles. Aftermarket screws may have slightly different dimensions, thread pitch, or material composition, which can lead to poor fitment, stripping of threads, or inadequate holding strength. When you're investing in a quality RC model, using genuine replacement parts ensures reliability and longevity.
• Are these screws suitable for beginners rebuilding their first RC model? — Absolutely. These screws are straightforward to install using a standard metric hex key, making them ideal for anyone learning to maintain and repair their RC cars. The generous set of six pieces means you have spares if you accidentally drop one or need to keep backups.
• What tools do I need to install these screws? — You'll need a metric hex key (Allen key) that fits the M3 socket size. Most RC hobbyists already have a set of hex keys as part of their basic RC maintenance toolkit, so these screws should integrate seamlessly into your existing setup.
• Can I use these screws for custom RC builds? — Yes, these M3 x 27mm button head machine screws can be used in any RC application that requires this size fastener. However, always verify that the threaded hole depth in your model is adequate to accommodate the full 27mm length, as using overly long screws can damage components or prevent proper assembly.
• Do I need to apply thread-locking compound to these screws? — Thread-locking compound is optional but recommended, especially for screws that experience vibration during use. A removable strength thread-locker (like Traxxas TRX5539) can help prevent vibration-induced loosening without making the screws impossible to remove later for maintenance.
