Overview
The ARRMA Set Screw M5x30mm (4) is an essential spare part for any RC enthusiast who owns ARRMA vehicles or compatible RC models. These high-quality set screws are precision-engineered fasteners designed to secure critical components on your RC car, truck or buggy. Whether you are a seasoned RC hobbyist, a weekend basher, or someone new to the RC car UK scene, having quality replacement set screws in your tool box is absolutely vital for keeping your model in perfect working condition. Set screws are one of the most commonly needed spare parts during regular maintenance, repairs and tuning of RC vehicles, making this pack a worthwhile investment for anyone serious about their RC hobby.
These M5x30mm set screws are specifically engineered to fit ARRMA RC vehicles including popular models such as the Infraction 6S BLX, KRATON 6S EXB, LIMITLESS 8S AVC and MOJAVE 6S V2 BLX. The compact four-piece pack makes these screws convenient to carry with you to the track, bash spot or race event. With a 5 out of 5 customer rating from the manufacturer, these set screws have earned the trust and confidence of RC drivers across the UK and beyond. They represent the quality and reliability that ARRMA is renowned for in the brushless RC and electric RC vehicle market.
Set screws are critical fasteners used throughout RC vehicles to hold gears, pulleys, motor mounts and other essential components securely in place. Having quality replacement set screws ensures that your RC model maintains proper assembly and performance during intense driving sessions. The tough steel construction and precision manufacturing of these ARRMA set screws mean they will withstand the demands of high-performance RC driving without stripping or failing prematurely.
Key Features
- Tough Steel Construction — These set screws are manufactured from durable steel that resists wear, corrosion and stripping, ensuring they maintain their integrity through repeated use and adjustments during the life of your RC model.
- Precision Manufactured Threads — The threads are engineered with precision tolerances to provide an easy, secure fit into the threaded holes of your RC vehicle without cross-threading or seizing.
- M5 x 30mm Metric Specification — The 5mm diameter and 30mm overall length makes these set screws ideal for securing medium-duty components on full-size RC trucks, buggies and monster trucks.
- Hexagonal Drive Type — The hex socket head design allows you to tighten and loosen these screws with a standard hex wrench or Allen key, which is a common tool found in most RC tool kits.
- Four-Piece Pack — This convenient pack includes four individual set screws, giving you multiple replacements to keep on hand or use simultaneously across different areas of your RC vehicle.
- Machine Thread Design — The machine thread profile ensures compatibility with factory-drilled holes in ARRMA RC vehicles and other models that accept M5x30mm set screws.
- Grub Screw Style — As grub screws (headless set screws), these fasteners sit flush or nearly flush with component surfaces, allowing for clean installation without protruding hardware that could catch on parts or cause snagging.
Technical Performance
These ARRMA M5x30mm set screws represent a critical category of fastening hardware essential to the proper assembly and maintenance of modern RC vehicles. The M5 metric specification indicates a 5 millimetre nominal diameter with precision-manufactured machine threads that allow smooth engagement with corresponding threaded holes. The 30 millimetre overall length provides adequate engagement depth for secure fastening of motor mounts, drive components, and structural elements found on brushless RC cars, 4WD RC buggies, and RC truck platforms. The black finish indicates a standard steel composition that resists corrosion during normal use, whether your RC vehicle is bashed in dry conditions or exposed to occasional moisture. The hexagonal drive socket allows controlled tightening torque without requiring access to the back side of the fastening point — a practical advantage when working with the confined spaces typical of RC vehicle assembly. The grub screw design (headless configuration) ensures that no protruding fastener head interferes with moving parts, suspension components, or adjacent hardware. Quality matters significantly with set screws because even minor defects in thread manufacturing can result in stripped holes that compromise the structural integrity of your RC model. ARRMA's precision manufacturing standards ensure these screws will perform reliably through countless removal and reinstallation cycles, which is essential for the active maintenance required by high-performance RC hobby vehicles.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Which ARRMA RC models use M5x30mm set screws? — According to ARRMA's specifications, these set screws are compatible with the Infraction 6S BLX (available in Silver and Blue versions), the 1/8 KRATON 6S EXB 4X4 RTR Speed Monster Truck in Black, the 1/7 LIMITLESS 8S AVC 4X4 RTR BLX Street Speed (available in Red/Black and White/Blue), and the MOJAVE 6S V2 BLX (available in Red/Black and Green/Black).
- Why do I need spare set screws for my RC car? — Set screws are fasteners that hold critical components like motor mounts, drive shafts, pulleys and gears securely in place. During regular maintenance, tuning adjustments, or if you damage a screw during installation or removal, having spare set screws ensures you can quickly get your RC model back on the track or bash spot without delays.
- Are these set screws suitable for beginners? — Yes, absolutely. These set screws are straightforward to use for anyone with basic RC knowledge. Installation simply requires a hex key (Allen wrench) to tighten them into the corresponding threaded holes. Any beginner learning to maintain their first RC vehicle will quickly become familiar with set screws as they are among the most common fasteners encountered during model assembly and maintenance.
- What is a grub screw and how is it different from a regular bolt? — A grub screw is a headless set screw with a threaded shaft and a socket (in this case, hexagonal) for tightening. Unlike bolts which have a large head designed to be gripped by a wrench, grub screws sit flush or recessed within assembled components, allowing them to fit into confined spaces without protruding hardware. This design is essential for RC vehicle applications where space is limited and any protrusion could interfere with moving parts.
- How many set screws come in this pack? — This pack contains four individual ARRMA set screws. Four pieces is a practical quantity that provides multiple replacements for immediate use or storage in your RC tool box.
- What are the precise dimensions of these set screws? — These set screws measure M5 x 30mm, meaning they have a 5 millimetre diameter and 30 millimetre overall length. They feature a hexagonal socket head for easy tightening with a standard hex key.
- Can I use these set screws with non-ARRMA RC vehicles? — If your RC vehicle (whether from Traxxas, Losi, FTX or other brands) uses M5x30mm metric set screws with machine threads, these ARRMA fasteners should work. However, you should always verify that the hole specifications in your model match before purchasing, as different manufacturers sometimes use slightly different fastening standards.
