Traxxas Button Head Machine Screws M3 x 20mm Hex Drive Black 6 Pack TRX2580

Overview

The Traxxas Screws 3x20mm button-head machine (hex drive) pack provides essential replacement fasteners for RC enthusiasts maintaining their RC cars, trucks and crawlers. These precision-engineered button-head machine screws are manufactured by Traxxas, the world-leading RC vehicle brand trusted by hobbyists across the UK and beyond. Whether you're a seasoned RC basher, a competitive racer, or someone new to the RC hobby in the UK, having quality replacement screws on hand is crucial for keeping your RC vehicle in peak condition. This pack contains six screws, making it an economical choice for maintenance and repairs.

Button-head machine screws are a standard fastener used extensively in modern RC vehicles, from entry-level ready-to-run models to high-performance race kits. The hex drive design ensures reliable engagement with your hex wrench, reducing the risk of stripping the screw head during installation or removal—a common frustration when using lower-quality fasteners. Traxxas has designed these screws specifically for their vehicles, meaning they're engineered to the exact tolerances required for optimal performance and longevity of your RC model.

If you own a Traxxas RC vehicle—whether it's a Stampede 4x4, Slash series, Ford Fiesta ST Rally, TRX-6 Mercedes-Benz G 63 AMG, or UDR Unlimited Desert Racer—you'll find these M3 x 20mm screws are compatible with your model. The black finish ensures durability and corrosion resistance, even when exposed to the elements during outdoor bashing sessions on UK terrain.

Key Features

• M3 x 20mm Specifications — These machine screws have a 3mm diameter and 20mm length, designed to fit the fastening points on compatible Traxxas RC vehicles and to provide the correct engagement depth without bottoming out or protruding excessively.
• Button-Head Design — The button head profile sits flush or slightly proud of the surface, providing a clean appearance while offering excellent strength for secure fastening of components on your RC car or truck.
• Hex Drive — The integrated hex socket allows use with standard hex wrenches and drivers, delivering precise torque transfer and minimising the chance of damaging the fastener head compared to Phillips or slotted alternatives commonly found on lower-quality RC parts.
• Machine Thread Type — These are true machine screws with a defined thread pitch, ensuring consistent and reliable engagement with tapped holes in aluminium and steel components typical of modern Traxxas vehicles.
• Black Finish — The black coating provides corrosion resistance and durability, protecting against rust and oxidation even when your RC car is exposed to moisture during wet-weather bashing or frequent washing.
• Pack of Six — Each pack contains six individual screws, providing multiple replacement fasteners so you can repair multiple vehicles or have spares for future maintenance without repeatedly ordering.
• Genuine Traxxas OEM — As official Traxxas replacement parts, these screws are manufactured to exact OEM specifications and quality standards, ensuring compatibility and performance on all compatible Traxxas RC models.

Technical Performance

These Traxxas button-head machine screws represent precision fastening engineering optimised for RC vehicle applications. The M3 size (3mm diameter) is a standard metric specification used throughout the RC industry, particularly in mid-scale vehicles ranging from 1/10 scale to 1/8 scale RC cars, trucks, and buggies. The 20mm length provides adequate engagement depth for critical fastening points including chassis assembly, suspension components, electronic enclosures, and body panels without risk of over-threading or damaging delicate aluminium or composite materials. The hex drive socket accommodates standard 2.0mm hex wrenches and drivers, a universal tool size found in virtually every RC toolkit. The machine thread design, as opposed to wood-screw or thread-forming variants, ensures that when inserted into properly tapped holes, the screw seats firmly without stripping, providing consistent clamping force across multiple assembly and disassembly cycles—crucial during frequent maintenance, upgrades and repairs typical of active RC bashers and racers in the UK. The black finish provides excellent corrosion resistance, extending fastener lifespan even in damp UK climate conditions. These screws have been engineered for use on vehicles including the Traxxas Stampede 4x4 HD VXL brushless monster trucks, Traxxas Slash HD XL-5 short course trucks, Traxxas Ford Fiesta ST Rally vehicles, the advanced Traxxas TRX-6 Mercedes-Benz G 63 AMG 6x6 crawler, and the professional-grade Traxxas UDR Unlimited Desert Racer, demonstrating their suitability across a wide range of Traxxas platforms and driving styles.
