Overview
The ARRMA Flat Head Screw 3x16mm (10) Z-AR722316 is an essential spare part for maintaining and servicing your ARRMA RC vehicle. Whether you own a 1/10 scale brushless RC monster truck, a 1/8 scale RC buggy, or any other ARRMA model, these precision-engineered fasteners are indispensable for keeping your RC car in peak condition. These high-quality flat head screws are manufactured to exacting standards and are compatible with a vast range of ARRMA vehicles across multiple scales, from the compact 1/10 models right through to the larger 1/7 and 1/8 scale machines.
For RC enthusiasts in the UK who take their hobby seriously, having spare screws on hand is crucial. Whether you're a weekend basher enjoying your RC truck on local trails, a competitive racer pushing your RC buggy to its limits, or a dedicated hobbyist who maintains their fleet of RC vehicles, these M3x16mm countersunk screws will inevitably be needed. During assembly, maintenance, repairs, or when upgrading components on your ARRMA ready to run RC model, you'll appreciate having quality fasteners readily available rather than hunting for replacements when you need them most.
Each pack contains 10 individual flat head screws, giving you multiple spares to keep in your RC workshop, toolbox, or pit bag. The pack quantity means you'll never be caught short during a maintenance session or at the track, ensuring your ARRMA RC car remains race-ready and properly assembled at all times.
Key Features
- Super-strong steel material — Manufactured from high-quality steel, these screws deliver exceptional durability and longevity, resisting corrosion and maintaining their structural integrity through countless assembly and disassembly cycles, which is essential for RC vehicles that undergo regular maintenance.
- Precision manufactured threads — Each screw features precisely engineered threads that ensure fast and easy fastening, allowing you to quickly assemble and reassemble components on your ARRMA RC model without cross-threading or damaging the threaded holes.
- Countersunk flat head design — The countersunk (flat) head profile sits flush with the surface of your RC car's bodywork and chassis components, providing a clean, professional appearance and preventing the screw head from interfering with moving parts or catching on terrain during operation.
- M3x16mm metric specification — These screws conform to the M3 (3mm) diameter and 16mm length specification, ensuring perfect compatibility with ARRMA vehicles that specify this fastener size in their assembly manuals and parts diagrams.
- Hex driver head — The hexagonal socket head design accommodates standard hex keys (Allen keys), allowing you to apply even pressure during fastening and avoiding the stripped heads that can occur with less robust driver types.
- Machine thread design — Featuring machine thread construction, these screws work with the pre-tapped holes found on ARRMA RC vehicles, providing secure, reliable fastening without the need for washers or special installation techniques.
- Pack of 10 spares — Every pack includes 10 individual screws, ensuring you always have replacements on hand for maintenance, repairs, upgrades, or parts that may be lost or damaged during your RC racing or bashing sessions.
Technical Performance
The ARRMA Flat Head Screw 3x16mm represents a critical component in the proper assembly and maintenance of ARRMA RC vehicles. Manufactured to strict quality standards, these M3x16mm countersunk machine screws are engineered for reliability and ease of use. The super-strong steel construction ensures that these fasteners will not strip, corrode, or fail under the vibrations and stresses inherent to RC vehicle operation, whether you're running a brushless 4WD RC monster truck at high speed, a 1/8 scale RC buggy on rough terrain, or any other ARRMA model in between. The precision-manufactured threads create a perfect fit with ARRMA's factory-tapped holes, eliminating wobble and ensuring components remain securely fastened during jumps, collisions, and aggressive driving. The countersunk flat head design is particularly important for ARRMA vehicles, where every millimetre counts in terms of ground clearance and aerodynamics. Unlike raised-head fasteners that can snag on track obstacles or catch the wind at high speed, the flat head sits completely flush with your RC car's body and chassis, maintaining performance and preventing unwanted interference with drivetrain components. The hex socket drive accommodates standard metric hex keys, making these screws infinitely faster to install and remove compared to Phillips head or slotted alternatives—a significant advantage when you're at the track or in your RC workshop performing maintenance between runs.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Which ARRMA RC vehicles use the M3x16mm flat head screw? — These screws are compatible with an extensive range of ARRMA models across multiple scales and vehicle types. Compatibility includes 1/10 scale models such as the Big Rock, Fury, Gorgon, Granite, Kraton, Outcast, Quake, Senton, and Vorteks series in various configurations (brushless, brushed, RTR, and kit versions). They are also compatible with 1/7 scale models including the Big Rock, Felony, Fireteam, Infraction, Limitless, and Mojave, as well as 1/8 scale models such as the Infraction, Kraton, Mojave, Notorious, Outcast, Talion, Typhon, and Vendetta. Whether you own a 2WD, 4WD, EXB, or AVC variant, these screws should be part of your spare parts inventory.
- Are these screws suitable for beginners? — Absolutely. These are standard replacement fasteners that any RC enthusiast—whether experienced or just starting out—will need during the ownership of an ARRMA vehicle. The hex socket head design makes installation straightforward and forgiving, and the pack of 10 ensures you have spares as you learn proper assembly techniques. Beginners maintaining their first RC car will find these screws essential and easy to work with.
- Why should I buy these official ARRMA screws instead of generic alternatives? — Official ARRMA screws are engineered and tested to work perfectly with ARRMA vehicles. Generic fasteners may have slightly different dimensions, thread pitches, or material properties that could result in poor fit, cross-threading, or premature failure under the stresses of RC operation. Using genuine ARRMA parts ensures your vehicle remains in optimal working condition and maintains its performance characteristics.
- How many screws come in a pack? — Each pack contains 10 individual M3x16mm flat head screws, providing multiple spares so you always have replacements available for maintenance, repairs, or component upgrades without needing to reorder immediately.
- What is the difference between flat head and other screw types? — Flat head (countersunk) screws sit flush with the surface, providing a clean appearance and preventing the head from protruding and interfering with your RC car's aerodynamics or ground clearance. Compared to raised-head screws, flat head design is superior for RC vehicles where every millimetre matters and snag-free operation is essential.
- What tools do I need to install these screws? — You will need a metric hex key (Allen key) that fits the M3 socket head. Most RC enthusiasts already own a complete hex key set, making installation straightforward without requiring additional specialist tools.
