Technical Performance
These cap-head machine screws are engineered to the exacting standards Traxxas applies across its component range. The M2 size with 8mm overall length makes them suitable for precision RC applications where dimensional accuracy is essential. The machine thread specification ensures clean, repeatable assembly without the risk of cross-threading or thread stripping that can occur with lesser-quality fasteners. The hex drive design provides superior grip compared to Phillips or slot-drive alternatives, reducing the risk of stripping the screw head during installation or future removal. The black finish offers basic protection against corrosion, which is important for RC models that may be used outdoors or exposed to moisture during cleaning. The pack of six provides adequate spares for typical maintenance needs across your RC car UK collection, whether you're maintaining scale crawlers, trail trucks, or other Traxxas models.

- What tool do I need to install these screws? — These screws feature a hex drive socket, so you will need a hex driver (also called an Allen key or hex wrench) to install or remove them. Most RC enthusiasts have a set of hex drivers already, and Traxxas and aftermarket options are widely available in the UK RC market.
- Are these suitable for beginners? — Yes, absolutely. These are standard replacement fasteners that any RC enthusiast, regardless of experience level, can install using basic tools. The hex drive design is particularly beginner-friendly compared to Phillips or slot-drive screws, as it provides superior grip and is less likely to slip or strip. Beginners maintaining their ready to run RC car UK models will find these straightforward to use.
- How many screws do I get in this pack? — You receive a pack of six screws, which provides adequate spares for typical maintenance and repairs across your RC model collection.
- What is the difference between these machine screws and other fasteners? — These are proper machine thread screws with a cap-head design and hex drive socket, making them precision components suitable for RC applications. Unlike wood screws or self-tapping screws, machine screws are designed for use in pre-drilled holes with matching threads, providing superior holding power and repeatability. The cap-head profile is cleaner and more professional-looking than pan-head or button-head alternatives, and the hex drive provides better grip than Phillips or slot-drive options.
