Axial has been manufacturing hobby-quality RC rigs for over 15 years, and their component engineering reflects the same commitment to quality and durability that makes their vehicles legendary in the RC community.

As an authorised dealer stocking genuine Axial parts, RC Model Shop provides these replacement screws to ensure your RC crawler, RC buggy, or RC truck maintains its structural integrity through countless adventures on challenging trails. The self-tapping design means these fasteners create their own thread path as they're installed, making them ideal for rapid assembly, repair, and maintenance work without requiring pre-drilled holes in every application.
This pack contains 10 individual screws, providing multiple replacement options for different areas of your Axial RC vehicle. Whether you're rebuilding after an exciting trail run, replacing worn fasteners, or completing a custom modification project, having a supply of genuine Axial fasteners on hand ensures you can keep your RC car in peak condition between sessions.
Key Features
- M2.6x8mm Specification — These fasteners are precisely engineered to M2.6x8mm dimensions, ensuring they fit correctly in the designated mounting points throughout Axial RC vehicles without forcing or damaging the threads or surrounding components.
- Hex Socket Drive Type — The hex socket design allows you to use a standard hex key or Allen wrench for installation and removal, providing excellent torque control and reducing the risk of stripping the fastener head compared to other drive types commonly used on RC parts.
- Self-Tapping Thread Type — As self-tapping fasteners, these screws create their own thread as they're installed, making them incredibly versatile for repair work and reducing the need for pre-threaded holes, which is particularly valuable when replacing fasteners on older or damaged chassis components.
- Countersunk Flat Head Design — The countersunk flat head sits flush with the surface of your RC vehicle's components, maintaining the clean aesthetic and scale realism that Axial RC vehicles are known for, whilst also preventing the head from snagging on obstacles during trail runs.
- Black Finish — The black anodised finish not only matches the factory appearance of Axial RC components but also provides corrosion resistance, ensuring these fasteners remain functional and visually consistent with your RC crawler or RC truck even after exposure to mud, water, and outdoor elements.
- Pack of 10 — With ten fasteners included, you have multiple replacement options, allowing you to tackle several repair jobs, perform complete rebuild operations, or keep spares on hand for future maintenance needs during your RC adventures.
Technical Performance
These M2.6x8mm hex socket tapping flat head fasteners are engineered to the exacting standards Axial applies to all their RC components. The self-tapping thread design eliminates the need for complex pre-threading procedures, making these fasteners ideal for RC enthusiasts ranging from absolute beginners discovering ready to run RC cars for the first time through to experienced competitors who demand reliability. The hex socket drive provides superior control during installation compared to Phillips head or slotted alternatives, reducing the likelihood of fastener damage and allowing for consistent torque application across multiple installations. The M2.6 diameter is precision-engineered to work with mounting points on Axial's complete range of RC vehicles, from the ultra-capable 1/24 scale SCX24 platform right through to their comprehensive lineup of larger scale rock crawlers and trail buggies. The 8mm length is specifically calculated to provide adequate fastening depth without over-threading or stripping components. The countersunk flat head design ensures these fasteners integrate seamlessly with chassis panels, body components, and internal assemblies without creating snag points that could catch on obstacles or interfere with vehicle movement during demanding trail runs. The black finish is applied through a process that provides both aesthetic consistency and practical corrosion resistance, ensuring these fasteners maintain their appearance and functionality through repeated exposure to outdoor conditions, moisture, and the general wear that comes with active RC vehicle use.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Which Axial RC vehicles use M2.6x8mm hex socket fasteners? — These fasteners are designed for use across Axial's comprehensive vehicle lineup, including the SCX10 III rock crawler platform, the extremely popular 1/24 scale SCX24 series, the 1/10 scale options, and various other Axial RC trucks, buggies, and crawlers.

- Are these self-tapping screws easy to install on my Axial RC car? — Yes, the self-tapping design makes installation straightforward. You simply position the fastener in the desired location, use a hex key or Allen wrench to turn it, and the specially designed thread cuts into the mounting surface as it advances.

Whether you're adding aftermarket accessories to your RC truck or creating custom mounting solutions for upgrades, these fasteners provide the flexibility you need.
- Will the black finish match my Axial RC vehicle? — The black anodised finish is specifically designed to match the factory appearance of Axial components, ensuring any repairs or replacements maintain the clean, professional look of your RC car. The finish also provides functional corrosion resistance, protecting the fasteners from rust and degradation when exposed to outdoor elements during your RC adventures.
