Overview
The Traxxas Screws 3x6mm flat-head machine (hex drive) represent essential replacement and upgrade components for RC enthusiasts across the UK. Whether you're maintaining your brushless RC monster truck, repairing a 4WD RC crawler, or building a competition-grade RC buggy, having quality fasteners on hand is fundamental to keeping your models running smoothly. These precision-engineered screws are manufactured by Traxxas, one of the most trusted names in RC car UK hobby retail, and are specifically designed to meet the exacting standards required for high-performance RC vehicles.
This pack contains six M3 flat-head machine screws with hex-drive heads, measuring 3x6mm in specification. The flat-head design allows for a flush finish when installed, which is particularly important in RC applications where aerodynamics, weight distribution, and aesthetic appearance all matter. The hex-drive heads provide excellent torque transfer and reduce the risk of stripping compared to Phillips-head alternatives, making these screws ideal for the demanding conditions of competitive and recreational RC driving. Whether you're setting up a ready to run RC truck, assembling a race kit, or performing routine maintenance on your existing collection, these replacement screws offer reliability you can count on.
Compatible with an extensive range of Traxxas models including the Rustler Ultimate VXL, Slash Ultimate 4x4, Stampede 4X4 HD VXL, and the entire TRX-4 family of crawlers and trail vehicles, these screws are a must-have in every RC hobbyist's spares box. The black finish provides a professional appearance while offering corrosion resistance for durability in various weather conditions.
Key Features
- M3 Flat-Head Design — The 3x6mm flat-head profile ensures a flush, professional finish when installed, which is essential for maintaining the visual appeal and structural integrity of RC vehicles without protrusions that could catch on terrain or compromise aerodynamics.
- Hex-Drive Head — The hex-drive socket design provides superior grip and torque application compared to Phillips or slotted heads, significantly reducing the risk of driver slip and screw stripping during installation or removal, which is critical when working with high-performance RC equipment.
- Pack of Six — Each pack contains six individual screws, providing enough fasteners for multiple repairs, upgrades, or assembly projects, ensuring you'll have spares available when you need them most.
- Black Finish — The durable black colour coating offers both aesthetic consistency with most RC vehicles and provides protection against corrosion, helping maintain the screws' integrity through repeated use and exposure to outdoor conditions.
- Traxxas Genuine Component — As official Traxxas replacement parts, these screws are engineered to exact specifications and tolerances, guaranteeing perfect fit and compatibility with your models and providing peace of mind that you're using factory-approved components.
Technical Performance
These M3 machine screws represent precision engineering optimised for the demanding requirements of RC vehicles. The 3x6mm specification has been carefully chosen to provide adequate clamping force without adding unnecessary weight to your RC car, truck, or crawler. The flat-head design sits flush with the surface, eliminating any protrusions that could affect weight distribution or create drag on aerodynamic surfaces — a critical consideration for both speed-focused and technical crawling applications. The hex-drive head is manufactured to strict tolerances, ensuring that standard hex drivers engage perfectly without wobbling or stripping, which is essential when applying the torque necessary to secure components on high-performance brushless RC models. The black finish is applied through a process that provides consistent corrosion resistance, ensuring the screws maintain their integrity whether you're bashing through muddy terrain in an all-weather RC monster truck or carefully navigating technical rock crawling sections with a trail-focused TRX-4. The material composition and hardness specification meet Traxxas' demanding standards, allowing these screws to withstand the vibration, impact, and stress that comes with competitive and recreational RC driving. Whether you're assembling a ready to run RC vehicle or maintaining an existing collection, these fasteners provide the reliability required for consistent performance.

- Why should I choose hex-drive screws over Phillips-head fasteners for my RC car? — Hex-drive heads provide significantly better engagement with hex drivers, reducing the risk of driver slip and screw stripping that commonly occurs with Phillips-head alternatives, particularly important when working with tight spaces or applying adequate torque on high-performance RC models.
- Are these flat-head screws suitable for visible exterior locations on my RC truck? — Yes, the flat-head design allows these screws to sit flush with surfaces, providing a clean, professional appearance. Combined with the black finish, they blend seamlessly with most RC vehicle bodies and components, making them suitable for both interior and visible exterior assembly.
- What makes Traxxas genuine replacement screws different from generic alternatives? — Traxxas genuine screws are manufactured to exacting specifications and tolerances, ensuring perfect fit and compatibility with your models. They undergo quality control processes that generic fasteners may not, providing confidence that you're using factory-approved components that will perform reliably in your RC applications.
- How many screws do I need, and why is having spare fasteners important? — Each pack contains six screws. Having spare fasteners is essential because screws can be lost during maintenance, may require replacement due to wear, and are often needed for upgrades or repairs. Keeping a stock of genuine Traxxas fasteners ensures you can perform repairs immediately without interrupting your RC activities.
