Key Features
- Precision Hex Head Design — The precision-engineered hex head provides the best possible fit with your hex driver or wrench, which is crucial for preventing stripped screws that can ruin a fastening job and damage your RC model's mounting points irreparably.
- Durable Black Coated Steel Construction — Made from black coated steel, these screws resist corrosion and wear, maintaining their appearance and function even after repeated assembly and disassembly cycles during maintenance or upgrades.
- Genuine Axial Factory Hardware — Built to last with the same quality standards Axial applies to complete vehicles, ensuring these screws will perform reliably and maintain their integrity under the stresses of RC vehicle operation.
- M2.6x12mm Specification — The M2.6 diameter and 12mm length make these screws ideal for specific mounting applications on compatible Axial models, providing the exact fit needed without over-tightening or under-tightening concerns.
- Pack of Ten Pieces — Ten screws per pack give you multiple fasteners for repairs, replacements, or building, making this an economical way to stock spares without waste.
Technical Performance
The Axial M2.6x12mm Cap Head Screw is engineered with machine thread specifications and a cap head design that provides excellent gripping surface for tools. The black coating provides both aesthetic consistency with many Axial components and practical corrosion resistance. The precision hex head engineering means that when you apply the correct amount of torque with the appropriately sized hex driver, the screw seats perfectly without the wobbling or slipping that causes stripped heads. This is particularly important in RC applications where vibration and constant operation can loosen fasteners if they're not seated correctly from the start. The M2.6 diameter provides a good balance between holding strength and the delicate nature of many RC vehicle mounting points, whilst the 12mm length is calibrated for specific applications on Axial vehicles. The machine thread type ensures consistent engagement with threaded holes and provides reliable holding power across repeated assembly and disassembly cycles that are common in the RC hobby.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What Axial models are these M2.6x12mm screws compatible with? — These screws are confirmed compatible with the Axial 1/10 SCX10 II Deadbolt 4WD Brushed RTR, a popular crawler model among UK RC enthusiasts. However, they may be used on other Axial models with similar fastening requirements, so checking your specific vehicle's parts diagram is recommended.
- Why should I use genuine Axial screws instead of generic alternatives? — Genuine Axial factory hardware is manufactured to exact specifications and quality standards that match the rest of your RC vehicle. Generic screws may vary in head shape, thread pitch, or material quality, potentially causing stripped fasteners or poor fitting that damages expensive components. Using genuine parts ensures reliability and longevity.
- How many screws come in a pack? — This pack contains ten M2.6x12mm cap head screws, giving you multiple fasteners for repairs, replacements, or to maintain a spare parts inventory for your RC collection.
- What colour are these screws? — The screws feature a black coating that provides both corrosion resistance and a professional appearance consistent with many Axial vehicle components and colour schemes.
- Are these machine thread or self-tapping screws? — These are machine thread screws, meaning they are designed to be used with pre-threaded holes on your RC vehicle rather than creating their own threads in plastic or soft materials.
- Why is the precision hex head important? — The precision hex head design ensures a perfect fit with your hex driver or Allen key, preventing the bit from slipping or rounding out the head. This is critical in RC work because a stripped screw head can render a fastener unusable and potentially damage surrounding components.
