Traxxas Flat Head Machine Screws 3x10mm M3 Hex Drive Pack of 4 TRX4859

Overview

The Traxxas Screws, 3x10mm flat-head machine (hex drive) (4 pcs) TRX4859 are essential replacement fasteners for RC car enthusiasts and serious hobby bashers across the UK. Whether you own a Traxxas Slash HD short course truck, a Stampede 4x4 HD monster truck, or any other compatible Traxxas model, these precision-engineered screws ensure your RC vehicle maintains optimal structural integrity during high-performance driving. As a leading RC car UK retailer, we understand that maintaining your ready to run RC models with genuine OEM parts is critical to achieving consistent performance and longevity. These flat-head machine screws represent the exact specification components Traxxas engineers designed for their vehicles, making them the gold standard for repairs, replacements and custom builds.

RC enthusiasts know that securing body panels, skid plates, and internal components with the correct fasteners is not a compromise area. Using sub-standard screws can lead to loose connections, vibration-induced failures, and ultimately damaged RC models. The TRX4859 pack provides four individual screws of M3 size with a 10mm length, each featuring a distinctive flat-head design paired with a hex drive socket. This combination allows for secure fastening whilst enabling easy installation and removal with a standard hex key or Allen wrench, a critical advantage when you need to service your RC vehicle quickly between races or weekend bashing sessions.

Whether you are replacing lost screws after a crash, building a custom RC truck from spare parts, or maintaining a collection of Traxxas vehicles, this pack of four ensures you have the fasteners you need in your spares box. The black powder-coated finish matches the aesthetics of modern Traxxas models whilst providing corrosion resistance, and the machine thread specification guarantees compatibility across the entire range of compatible Traxxas vehicles listed on our website.

Key Features

• M3 Specification with 10mm Length — These screws are precisely engineered to the M3 metric standard with a 10mm overall length, ensuring they fit into the exact mounting holes designed by Traxxas engineers and providing the correct engagement depth for secure fastening without bottoming out or stripping threads.
• Flat-Head Design — The flat-head profile sits flush with mounting surfaces, reducing snag points and aerodynamic disruption whilst maintaining a clean, professional appearance on your RC vehicle's bodywork and chassis components.
• Hex Drive Socket Head — Unlike traditional screwdriver slots or Phillips heads that can strip easily, the hex drive system provides superior torque transfer and more consistent fastening pressure, which is essential for maintaining tight connections through aggressive driving and vibration.
• Machine Thread Construction — Machine threads are designed to cut into threaded holes during installation, allowing for quick fastening and removal without requiring a nut on the opposite end, making these ideal for internal RC vehicle assembly and maintenance.
• Pack of Four — Each pack contains four individual screws, providing essential redundancy for your spares collection and enough fasteners to repair multiple assembly points or keep replacements ready for future maintenance cycles.
• Black Powder-Coat Finish — The protective black finish resists corrosion and matches the appearance of genuine Traxxas components, maintaining the visual consistency and durability of your RC model even after extended outdoor use or exposure to moisture.

Technical Performance

These machine screws represent critical infrastructure components within modern Traxxas RC vehicles. The M3 metric specification refers to the 3mm outer diameter of the threaded shaft, a size chosen by Traxxas engineers to provide optimal strength-to-weight ratio whilst remaining compact enough for the precision assemblies found in 1/10 and 1/8 scale RC trucks and crawlers. The 10mm length ensures sufficient engagement with threaded holes whilst remaining short enough to avoid interference with surrounding components, a critical consideration in tightly packaged RC chassis designs. The flat-head profile is engineered to provide maximum contact area with mounting surfaces, distributing clamping force evenly and reducing the likelihood of stress concentration that could lead to component failure during hard driving or high-impact crashes. The hex drive socket head accepts standard 2.5mm hex keys or Allen wrenches, tools found in virtually every RC enthusiast's workshop, enabling quick fastening and removal without requiring dedicated fastening tools. The machine thread cut design means these screws actively create their own threaded paths as they are installed, making them ideal for use with soft materials like plastic and composite components common in RC vehicle chassis and body structures. The black powder-coat finish provides genuine protection against corrosion and maintains aesthetic consistency with genuine Traxxas parts, ensuring your RC vehicle maintains its factory appearance regardless of environmental exposure during outdoor bashing or track use.

If you are unsure whether your specific Traxxas model uses these fasteners, contact our experienced team at RC Model Shop and we will confirm compatibility before you purchase.
• Why should I use genuine Traxxas screws instead of generic replacements? — Genuine Traxxas parts are engineered to exact specifications matching your RC vehicle's design and assembly requirements. Using OEM fasteners ensures proper thread engagement, correct length and head geometry, and guaranteed corrosion resistance, all of which protect your investment and maintain performance. Generic fasteners may have slightly different dimensions or material properties that could lead to loose connections, stripped threads, or premature failure under the vibration and impact forces experienced during RC driving.
• How do I install these machine screws? — Machine screws are designed to be installed directly into pre-drilled or pre-threaded holes without requiring nuts. Simply align the screw with the hole, insert a 2.5mm hex key into the drive socket, and turn clockwise whilst applying gentle downward pressure. Stop when the flat-head surface makes contact with the mounting surface—do not over-tighten as this can strip the threads or crack surrounding components. For removal, simply reverse the process using a 2.5mm hex key.
• Can I use these screws to repair my Traxxas RC vehicle? — Yes, these are genuine OEM replacement fasteners designed specifically for Traxxas assembly and repair. Whether you have lost screws during a crash, stripped threads, or simply need spares in your maintenance kit, the TRX4859 pack provides the exact components your Traxxas vehicle requires. Keeping a spare pack on hand ensures you can perform quick field repairs or maintenance without delaying your RC driving time.
• What size hex key do these screws require? — The hex drive sockets accept a standard 2.5mm Allen wrench or hex key, a size found in virtually every RC toolkit. This is the same size used across many Traxxas fastening applications, making these screws convenient for any RC enthusiast's workshop.
