Whether you own an Axial RC crawler, scale truck, or any RC model that utilises M3 fasteners, this genuine factory hardware pack provides the precision parts you need to maintain, repair and upgrade your vehicles. Axial is renowned for engineering excellence, and their genuine spare parts are built to the same exacting standards as their complete RC models, ensuring reliability and longevity in every component.
If you're an RC car UK enthusiast who regularly maintains and tinkers with your models, you'll appreciate having a stock of quality fasteners on hand. These M3x20mm set screws are the kind of small but critical parts that can make the difference between a well-functioning RC vehicle and one that suffers from loose connections or stripped hardware. This 10-piece pack offers genuine value for money, whether you're undertaking routine maintenance, building a custom setup, or replacing worn fasteners after intensive bashing sessions.
Set screws (also known as grub screws) are fundamental to RC assembly and repair. They're used throughout modern RC models for everything from securing motor mounts to holding adjustable components in place. The M3x20mm size is a standard specification across many Axial products, making this pack a must-have for anyone serious about keeping their RC collection in top condition.
Key Features
- Genuine Axial Factory Hardware — These screws are produced to factory specifications by Axial, ensuring they meet the exact tolerances and quality standards required for proper fit and function in Axial RC models. Genuine parts mean better reliability and compatibility compared to aftermarket alternatives.
- Precision Hex Head Design — The precision-engineered hex head provides the best possible fit with your hex driver tools, which helps prevent stripping of both the screw head and your driver bit. This is particularly important when working with small fasteners where improper fit can cause costly damage.
- Durable Black Coated Steel Construction — Made from hardwearing black coated steel, these screws offer excellent corrosion resistance and durability. The black coating not only protects against rust and oxidation but also provides a finished appearance that matches professional RC builds.
- M3x20mm Machine Thread Specification — These are machine thread set screws with a 20mm length, making them suitable for a wide range of Axial models and RC applications where M3 fasteners are specified.
- 10-Piece Pack Value — With 10 screws per pack, you have plenty of spares for maintenance, repairs and upgrades. Building a collection of genuine spare parts is a hallmark of serious RC car UK hobbyists.
Technical Performance
The AXIAL M3x20mm Set Screw represents precision engineering in miniature form. Set screws are critical components in RC vehicles, used to secure adjustable elements, lock assemblies in place, and maintain alignment under the stresses of off-road driving. The M3 thread size (3mm diameter) is a standard specification across numerous Axial platforms, particularly their crawler and scale truck lines. The 20mm length provides adequate engagement for secure fastening whilst remaining compact enough for use in tight spaces common to modern RC chassis. The machine thread design ensures smooth, consistent engagement with threaded holes, and the precision hex head accepts standard hex drivers without slipping or rounding. The black coating applied to each screw serves dual purposes: it protects the underlying steel from corrosion in damp UK weather conditions and provides an aesthetically refined appearance that matches professional-grade RC builds. Axial's commitment to quality means each screw in this pack has been manufactured to exacting tolerances, ensuring consistent performance and preventing the frustration of stripped threads or loose fasteners during operation. For anyone maintaining RC crawlers, scale trucks, or any Axial-based platform, these genuine screws are far superior to generic fasteners that may not meet the same dimensional or material standards.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Are these genuine Axial parts? — Yes, these M3x20mm set screws are genuine Axial factory hardware, manufactured to factory specifications. Axial spare parts are designed and produced to the same exacting standards as their complete RC models, ensuring proper fit and compatibility with Axial vehicles.
- What are set screws used for in RC models? — Set screws (also called grub screws) are small fasteners used throughout RC vehicles to secure components, lock adjustable parts in place, and maintain precise alignment. In Axial models particularly, they're commonly used for motor mount security, differential adjustments, and holding various chassis components in their correct positions.
- Will these fit my Axial RC model? — If your Axial model uses M3x20mm set screws as specified in the factory documentation, these parts will provide a perfect fit. The M3x20mm size is common across many Axial crawlers and scale trucks. Always check your model's manual or parts list to confirm the correct specification before ordering.
- Why is the hex head important? — The precision hex head design ensures a perfect fit with your hex driver tool, which prevents slipping and stripping. A poor-fitting driver can damage both the screw head and your tool, potentially rendering the fastener unusable. Axial's precision engineering means you can work confidently without fear of damage.
- What is the black coating for? — The black coating serves two purposes: it protects the underlying steel from rust and corrosion, which is especially important in the UK's damp climate, and it provides a professional, finished appearance that enhances the overall quality of your RC build.
- How many screws do I need? — This pack contains 10 screws, which is ideal for repairs, replacements, and maintaining a spare stock. For most maintenance tasks you'll only need one or two, so a 10-pack is sensible value for money and ensures you're never caught short.
