Overview
The Axial Screw Shaft M4x2.5x12mm (6) is genuine factory hardware engineered to meet the exacting standards of Axial RC crawlers and rock racer models.

As an RC enthusiast in the UK, you know that quality hardware can make the difference between a smooth running rig and one plagued by loose connections and performance issues. These fasteners come from Axial's professional manufacturing standards, giving you the confidence that your investment in parts is built to last.
This pack contains six individual M4x2.5x12mm screw shafts, each featuring a precision hex head design that fits securely into tools and prevents the frustrating problem of bolt head stripping that can occur with inferior hardware. Made from durable black coated steel, these fasteners resist corrosion and maintain their strength through countless RC adventures across muddy terrain, water crossings, and rocky obstacle courses. Whether you're tackling extreme terrain in your SCX10 III rock crawler, pushing your Capra Unlimited trail buggy to its limits, or enjoying weekend bashouts with your RR10 Bomber, having quality replacement fasteners on hand is a mark of a serious RC enthusiast who takes pride in their setup.
For anyone serious about RC cars UK-wide, from competitive crawlers to casual backyard drivers, genuine Axial replacement parts represent an investment in reliability and authentic performance. These screw shafts are compatible with a wide range of current and classic Axial platforms, making them a smart addition to any RC parts collection.
Key Features
- Precision Hex Head Design — The carefully engineered hex head geometry ensures a perfect fit with your hex tools, dramatically reducing the risk of bolt head stripping that can occur with poorly manufactured fasteners and lead to damaged bolts that are impossible to remove or adjust.
- Genuine Axial Factory Hardware — These are authentic Axial components built to the same exacting standards used in the manufacture of complete Axial RC vehicles, ensuring compatibility and reliability across the entire product range.
- Black Coated Steel Construction — The durable black coating provides corrosion resistance to protect against rust and degradation from exposure to mud, water, and the elements encountered during intense RC rock crawling and trail driving sessions.
- M4x2.5x12mm Specification — The specific metric dimensions (M4 diameter, 2.5mm pitch, 12mm length) are precisely engineered to fit critical fastening points on Axial models, ensuring proper assembly and reliable holding strength during demanding off-road use.
- Six-Pack Quantity — This economical pack provides six fasteners, giving you multiple replacement parts or the ability to upgrade several components on your RC crawler or rock racer at once.
Technical Performance
The Axial Screw Shaft M4x2.5x12mm represents the kind of precision engineering that distinguishes genuine factory hardware from generic aftermarket alternatives. At M4 diameter with a 2.5mm pitch and 12mm overall length, these fasteners are sized and threaded to exacting tolerances that allow them to seat properly in the threaded bosses found throughout Axial platforms ranging from the entry-level SCX10 II models through to the advanced SCX10 III variants, the advanced Capra unlimited trail buggies, and the specialised RR10 Bomber rock racer. The precision hex head is not merely cosmetic—it represents careful engineering to provide maximum contact area with your hex driver tools, distributing force across a wider surface and dramatically reducing the likelihood of the rounded-off heads that plague inferior fasteners. The black coated steel construction provides genuine corrosion protection, a critical feature for UK RC enthusiasts who frequently encounter damp conditions, mud, and moisture during off-road driving. Unlike bare steel fasteners that begin rusting almost immediately after exposure to wet conditions, these coated shafts maintain their integrity and function reliably throughout extended seasons of use. Whether you're performing routine maintenance on your ready to run RC car, assembling a kit, or undertaking repairs after a challenging crawl across rocky terrain, these fasteners meet professional automotive-grade standards.

- 6 x Axial Screw Shaft M4x2.5x12mm (precision hex head, black coated steel)
Frequently Asked Questions
- Which Axial RC models are compatible with the M4x2.5x12mm screw shaft? — These fasteners are designed for use across a comprehensive range of Axial platforms, including the SCX10 series (SCX10 II and SCX10 III variants in all body styles), Capra Unlimited trail buggies, RR10 Bomber rock racers, SMT10 monster trucks, Wraith crawlers, and Yeti rock racers. They serve as both replacement and optional upgrade parts for these models.
- Why is the precision hex head important for RC hardware? — The precision hex head ensures a tight, secure fit with your hex driver tools, preventing the common problem of bolt head stripping where the tool slips and rounds out the fastener head, making it impossible to tighten or remove. This engineering detail is what separates professional-grade hardware from generic alternatives.
- Are these fasteners suitable for extreme rock crawling and trail use? — Yes, absolutely. The black coated steel construction provides excellent corrosion resistance, and the M4x2.5x12mm specification is engineered for the demanding loads encountered during serious off-road RC activities. Genuine Axial factory hardware is designed to withstand the vibrations, impacts, and environmental exposure of competitive and recreational crawling.
- How many fasteners should I order for general maintenance? — Each pack contains six fasteners. For routine maintenance and repairs, one pack typically provides adequate spares. However, many serious RC enthusiasts maintain multiple packs on hand for rapid repairs during driving sessions or for undertaking complete drivetrain rebuilds.
- What is the advantage of genuine Axial fasteners over generic metric screws? — Genuine Axial factory hardware is manufactured to the precise tolerances required for optimal fit and performance in Axial vehicles. Generic metric fasteners may appear similar but often have slightly different specifications, threading, head geometry, or material properties that can compromise fit, function, and reliability. Genuine parts ensure compatibility and maintain the engineering integrity of your RC rig.
