Overview
The ARRMA Cap Head Screw 3x12mm (10) is an essential spare parts pack for anyone maintaining and servicing their ARRMA RC vehicles. Whether you're a dedicated enthusiast running competitive brushless RC buggies, high-speed RC trucks, or casual weekend bashers, having quality replacement fasteners on hand is crucial for keeping your model in peak condition. These precision-engineered cap head screws are specifically designed to fit ARRMA's extensive range of 1/10, 1/8, and 1/7 scale RC models, making them a must-have addition to any RC car UK enthusiast's tool kit.
ARRMA has earned its reputation as a leading manufacturer of ready to run RC vehicles by maintaining strict quality standards across all components, and these cap head screws are no exception. The pack contains 10 individual M3x12mm screws, ensuring you always have spares available for routine maintenance, repairs, or custom builds. This is particularly valuable for those who regularly service their brushless RC monsters, short course trucks, and all-road vehicles, as fasteners can be easily lost or stripped during intensive use. By stocking these ARRMA-specification screws, you're investing in reliability and maintaining the integrity of your RC setup.
Built from super-strong steel material, these cap head screws deliver the durability and consistent fitting quality that ARRMA vehicles demand. The precision-manufactured threads ensure fast and easy maintenance without frustration, allowing you to spend more time enjoying your RC experience rather than struggling with inferior fasteners. Whether you own a 1/10 Gorgon monster truck, a 1/8 Kraton buggy, a 1/7 Limitless speed machine, or any other ARRMA model, this pack of replacement screws represents genuine spare parts engineered to exacting standards.
Key Features
- Super-Strong Steel Construction — These cap head screws are manufactured from premium steel material that provides exceptional durability and longevity, ensuring they won't strip, bend, or fail under the demands of regular RC use and maintenance.
- Precision-Manufactured Threads — Every screw features precisely engineered threads that engage smoothly and securely with the threaded holes in your ARRMA vehicle, making assembly and disassembly straightforward and reliable without cross-threading or difficulty.
- M3x12mm Specification — The M3 diameter with 12mm length makes these screws compatible with numerous ARRMA models across multiple scales, from compact 1/10 scale vehicles to larger 1/7 and 1/8 scale machines.
- Cap Head Design — The distinctive hexagonal cap head provides excellent grip for hex tools, allowing secure tightening without slipping or cam-out damage to the screw head itself.
- Pack of 10 Pieces — Unlike single-screw replacements, this pack provides ten screws, giving you multiple spares for current repairs and future maintenance needs so you're never caught short.
- Bagged in Multiples — The screws are carefully packaged in convenient multiples, keeping them organized and preventing loss during storage or transport.
Technical Performance
These ARRMA Cap Head Screws represent the standard fastening solution used throughout ARRMA's extensive vehicle range, which includes everything from entry-level 1/10 scale brushless monster trucks through to championship-grade 1/7 and 1/8 scale buggies and speed machines. The M3x12mm specification ensures compatibility with critical assembly points across multiple ARRMA platforms including the Gorgon, Granite Mega, Kraton, Outcast, Quake, Senton, Big Rock, Felony, Fireteam, Infraction, Limitless, Mojave, Notorious, Talion, Typhon, and Vendetta models. The super-strong steel material used in their manufacture provides the tensile strength necessary to maintain secure fastening even when your RC car is subjected to intense acceleration, hard landings, jumps, and the general vibration associated with high-performance brushless RC driving. The precision-manufactured threads ensure consistent engagement without stripping, which is particularly important in aluminium chassis and body panels commonly found on modern ARRMA vehicles. Whether you're performing routine maintenance on a ready to run RC vehicle or rebuilding critical components after an accident, these screws deliver the reliability and build quality ARRMA owners have come to expect.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What ARRMA models are these cap head screws compatible with? — These M3x12mm cap head screws are compatible with an extensive range of ARRMA vehicles including the 1/10 Gorgon, Granite Mega, Kraton, Outcast, Quake, and Senton models, as well as 1/8 scale machines like the Infraction, Kraton, Notorious, Outcast, Talion, Typhon, and Vendetta, plus 1/7 scale models including the Big Rock, Felony, Fireteam, Infraction, Limitless, and Mojave. Check your vehicle's documentation or the ARRMA website to confirm fitment with your specific model.
- Why do I need replacement cap head screws for my RC car? — Cap head screws are essential fasteners used throughout your ARRMA vehicle for securing chassis components, body panels, suspension parts, and internal assemblies. During regular use, screws can loosen due to vibration, get stripped if over-tightened, or be lost during crashes and maintenance. Keeping spare screws ensures you can quickly perform repairs and routine servicing without delay.
- Are these screws genuine ARRMA parts? — Yes, these are official ARRMA-specification cap head screws manufactured to ARRMA's quality standards. The manufacturer part number AR723312 confirms authenticity and ensures compatibility with all ARRMA models listed in the fitment database.
- What is the difference between cap head screws and other screw types? — Cap head screws, also called socket head cap screws, feature a cylindrical head with a hexagonal socket (hex key). This design provides superior grip and torque transmission compared to slotted or Phillips head screws, reducing the risk of tool slip-out and screw damage. The larger surface area of the cap also distributes clamping force more effectively.
- Can I use these screws on other RC car brands? — While the M3x12mm specification is a standard fastener size used by many RC manufacturers, we recommend using ARRMA-specification parts on ARRMA vehicles to ensure perfect fitment and maintain your warranty. Some vehicles may require slightly different screw lengths or specifications.
- How often should I replace my RC car screws? — There's no strict replacement schedule. Inspect your screws during regular maintenance and replace any that show signs of stripping, corrosion, or damage. Having spare screws on hand allows you to replace them immediately if needed, minimising downtime.
