Overview
The Axial Hex Socket Button Shoulder Screw M2.5x6x10mm is an essential replacement fastener for RC enthusiasts maintaining and repairing their Axial models. Whether you own an Axial 1/18 Yeti Electric 4WD RTR or an Axial 1/18 Yeti Jr. Can-Am Maverick 4WD, having quality spare screws on hand is crucial for keeping your RC vehicle in peak condition. This pack contains six individually engineered hex socket button shoulder screws, designed to the precise specifications required by Axial's engineering standards.
For RC hobbyists in the UK, finding the right replacement parts can be challenging, especially when you need components that match your vehicle's original specifications exactly. The M2.5x6x10mm sizing is a common requirement across multiple Axial models, making this a highly practical item to stock in your spare parts collection. Whether you're a seasoned RC competitor, a weekend basher, or someone who enjoys maintaining their own RC models, these screws represent genuine Axial components that will restore your vehicle to factory standards.
Hex socket button shoulder screws like these are precision-engineered fasteners that combine a cylindrical shoulder with a rounded head design, allowing for secure fastening whilst maintaining a clean, professional appearance on your RC model. The hex socket design enables precise tightening with the appropriate hex key, minimising the risk of stripping or damaging the fastener during installation or removal.
Key Features
- M2.5 Thread Size — The M2.5 metric thread diameter is a standard sizing used across Axial's range of 1/18 scale RC vehicles, ensuring compatibility with the mounting points specified in your model's design and maintenance documentation.
- Hex Socket Head Design — The hex socket (Allen key) head design provides superior grip compared to standard Phillips or slotted heads, reducing the risk of slippage during tightening and making it easier to achieve consistent torque across multiple fasteners.
- Button Shoulder Configuration — The distinctive rounded button head combined with a cylindrical shoulder creates a professional appearance and provides better load distribution compared to standard cap screws, protecting the surrounding plastic and composite materials on your RC chassis.
- Precise 6x10mm Dimensions — The 6mm shoulder diameter and 10mm overall length are exact specifications required by Axial's engineering for proper fitment in designated fastening locations, ensuring they won't sit proud of the surface or fail to grip properly.
- Pack of Six — This economical six-piece pack provides enough screws to replace multiple fasteners across your build, or maintain a spare set for future maintenance and repairs without purchasing excessive quantities.
- Genuine Axial Component — As an officially designated Axial spare part, these screws meet the manufacturer's quality and material standards, guaranteeing compatibility and durability across repeated assembly and disassembly cycles.
Technical Performance
These hex socket button shoulder screws represent precision engineering at the small-scale level that separates quality RC models from casual toys. The M2.5x6x10mm specification indicates a 2.5-millimetre metric thread with a 6-millimetre shoulder diameter and 10-millimetre total length, creating a fastener designed specifically for the lightweight yet demanding requirements of 1/18 scale RC vehicles. The button head design provides a larger bearing surface than traditional cap screws, distributing pressure more evenly across mounting points and reducing the likelihood of pulling through soft composite materials commonly used in modern RC chassis construction. The hex socket interface allows for precise application of torque without the risk of head stripping that can occur with Phillips or slotted alternatives, particularly important when working with small fasteners where grip surface area is inherently limited. The shoulder design creates a smooth cylindrical transition that protects surrounding materials during installation and prevents the head from sinking into plastic components. These screws are manufactured to maintain dimensional consistency across the entire six-piece pack, ensuring that each fastener performs identically when installed, which is critical for maintaining balanced suspension geometry and secure assembly of multiple components.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What Axial RC models are these screws compatible with? — These M2.5x6x10mm hex socket button shoulder screws are designated as optional replacement parts for the Axial 1/18 Yeti Electric 4WD RTR and the Axial 1/18 Yeti Jr. Can-Am Maverick 4WD Brushed RTR, though the sizing makes them suitable for other Axial models using M2.5 fastening points as specified in your model's parts documentation.
- Why would I need replacement screws for my RC vehicle? — During normal operation and maintenance of your RC car, screws can become stripped, lost, or damaged through repeated assembly and disassembly. Having genuine replacement fasteners ensures you can restore your vehicle to factory specifications rather than substituting with inferior or incorrect-sized alternatives that might compromise structural integrity or suspension geometry.
- How do I know which size screw I need? — The M2.5x6x10mm designation breaks down as follows: M2.5 is the metric thread diameter, 6mm is the shoulder diameter of the button head, and 10mm is the overall length of the fastener. Consult your Axial model's parts diagram or instruction manual to identify the correct specification for each fastening location on your vehicle.
- Can I use standard Phillips head screws instead of these hex socket types? — Whilst Phillips head screws might physically fit certain mounting points, the hex socket design offers superior grip and reduced risk of stripping, particularly with small fasteners where contact surface area is limited. For optimal performance and to match your vehicle's factory specifications, genuine Axial hex socket screws are the recommended choice.
- How many screws come in this pack? — This pack contains six individual M2.5x6x10mm hex socket button shoulder screws, providing a practical spare set for repairs, replacements, or maintaining multiple vehicles in your collection.
- Are these genuine Axial parts? — Yes, these are official Axial replacement components designated with the manufacturer part number AX31489, ensuring they meet all of Axial's engineering specifications and quality standards for dimensional accuracy, material composition, and durability across repeated use cycles.
