Key Features
- Precision Hex Head Design — The hex socket head allows for accurate, controlled tightening using standard hex key drivers without risk of stripping the fastener head. This precision fit ensures you can apply the exact torque required for secure fastening without over-tightening and damaging the surrounding plastic or composite materials common in RC construction.
- Precision Thread — The precisely manufactured threads grip securely into both metal and plastic components, providing reliable fastening that resists vibration-induced loosening during high-speed driving or aggressive cornering. This is critical for maintaining structural integrity during the extreme forces experienced in RC racing and bashing applications.
- Super-Tough Material Construction — Manufactured from hardened steel or equivalent high-strength material, these screws resist stripping, breaking and deformation even under the stresses of high-performance RC use. The robust material ensures longevity, so fasteners won't fail prematurely during critical moments on the track or in the field.
- Button Head Profile — The distinctive low-profile button head shape sits flush and neat on your RC model, avoiding snags on suspension components, drive shafts or other mechanical parts. This streamlined profile is particularly important for RC vehicles where tight tolerances and compact spacing demand fasteners that don't protrude unnecessarily.
- M3x12mm Specification — The 3mm diameter and 12mm length makes these screws ideal for suspension mounts, chassis plates, electronics tray fastening, and numerous other critical assembly points found across ARRMA's range of ready-to-run RC vehicles. This size is one of the most frequently used in modern RC engineering.
- Pack of 10 — Ten screws per pack provides excellent value, allowing you to complete multiple repairs or replacements. Whether you need just one screw to replace a damaged fastener or several for a complete rebuild, this quantity ensures you won't run short during a maintenance session.
Technical Performance
The ARRMA Button Head Screw 3x12mm represents a fundamental component in RC vehicle engineering. At M3 diameter with 12mm length, this fastener size addresses one of the most common fastening requirements across ARRMA's diverse vehicle lineup. The precision hex head accommodates standard RC tool sets, allowing hobbyists to quickly perform maintenance without requiring specialist equipment. The button head design maintains a low profile, which is crucial in RC applications where suspension geometry, drive shaft alignment and component clearances are precisely engineered. The precision thread manufacturing ensures that fasteners engage smoothly with both threaded inserts and direct tapping into plastic or composite materials without stripping. The super-tough material specification indicates these are manufactured from high-grade steel or equivalent, providing the hardness and shear strength necessary to withstand the vibration, impacts and rotational stresses inherent to RC driving. Whether fitting these screws into the suspension towers of a 1/10 scale 4WD RC monster truck, securing the differential covers on a 1/8 scale RC buggy, or fastening the battery tray of a 1/10 brushless RC stadium truck, these screws deliver consistent, reliable performance. The robust construction means these fasteners can be reused multiple times without degradation, making them economical for the frequent maintenance demands of serious RC hobbies.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Are ARRMA button head screws compatible with my RC vehicle? — Yes, ARRMA button head screws 3x12mm are compatible with an exceptionally broad range of ARRMA RC models, including 1/10 scale vehicles like the Big Rock, Fury, Gorgon, Granite, Kraton, Outcast, Quake, Senton and Vorteks, plus 1/5 scale models including the Kraton and Outcast, 1/7 scale vehicles like the Big Rock, Felony, Fireteam, Infraction, Limitless, Mojave and others, 1/8 scale models such as Infraction, Kraton, Mojave, Notorious, Outcast, Talion and Typhon. If you own any ARRMA ready-to-run RC truck or buggy, these screws are almost certainly compatible with your model.
- Why would I need replacement button head screws? — RC vehicles experience significant vibration and mechanical stress during normal operation. Fasteners can become loose over time requiring re-tightening, or may be damaged, stripped or lost during maintenance or crashes. Having spare screws ensures you can complete repairs and keep your RC car racing-ready without delays.
- What makes these better than generic fasteners? — ARRMA button head screws are purpose-engineered for RC applications using precision manufacturing and high-grade materials. Generic fasteners may have inconsistent thread quality, inferior material hardness, or poor manufacturing tolerances that lead to stripping or failure. ARRMA screws guarantee compatibility and reliability across their vehicle range.
- How many screw packs would I need? — This depends on your RC vehicle model and usage pattern. Most RC cars contain dozens of fasteners, so keeping multiple packs on hand is sensible for serious hobbyists. A single pack of 10 is ideal for emergency repairs, whilst competitive racers typically maintain stock of several packs for regular maintenance cycles.
- Are these screws reusable? — Yes, the precision manufacturing and super-tough material mean these screws can be removed and reinstalled multiple times without degradation. Simply clean the screw and threads before reinstalling for optimal performance.
