Key Features
- Precision Hex Head Design — The precision-engineered hex head provides the best fit possible, which helps prevent stripping of the bolt head and ensures secure, repeatable fastening every time you need to service your RC model, protecting your investment in expensive suspension components and chassis assemblies.
- M3x6mm Specification — These screws feature an M3 thread diameter with a 6mm length, making them perfectly suited for a wide range of Axial models and compatible RC cars UK, from lightweight buggies to heavier rock crawlers and scale trucks.
- Black Oxide Coating — The durable black coated steel finish provides superior corrosion resistance compared to standard zinc plating, ensuring these screws maintain their appearance and functionality even when exposed to moisture, mud, water, and the unpredictable UK weather conditions that RC enthusiasts face.
- Genuine Axial Hardware — These are authentic factory components manufactured by Axial, not third-party imitations, guaranteeing compatibility, quality control, and the performance standards that Axial is known for throughout the RC hobby community.
- Convenient Pack of 10 — Each pack contains 10 individual screws, providing excellent value and ensuring you have spares available for maintenance, repairs, or component upgrades without needing to purchase multiple packs.
- Machine Thread Construction — The machine thread design ensures consistent, reliable fastening without the need for thread-locking compounds in most applications, though threadlocker is recommended for vibration-prone areas on your RC car UK setup.
Technical Performance
The AXIAL Cap Head M3x6mm Black Oxide screws represent the pinnacle of precision fastening engineering for the RC hobby. Manufactured from durable steel with a professional black oxide coating, these components are engineered to withstand the constant vibration, shock loading, and stress that RC vehicles experience during operation. The M3 thread diameter with 6mm overall length makes these screws ideal for securing suspension components, body mounts, electronics trays, and chassis assemblies on a wide variety of Axial models and compatible RC platforms. The precision hex head design is critical for preventing stripped bolts, which can render expensive suspension components unusable or require replacement. The black oxide finish, superior to standard electroplated coatings, provides genuine corrosion resistance that matters when your ready to run RC is exposed to damp British conditions, muddy track environments, or saltwater spray from coastal locations. These are machine thread screws, meaning they create their own thread path and require appropriate clearance holes rather than pre-tapped mounting points. With 10 screws per pack, you'll have adequate spares for maintenance intervals, which is essential for any RC enthusiast who regularly services their RC car UK to maintain peak performance and reliability.

- 10x M3x6mm Cap Head Screws (Black Oxide)
Frequently Asked Questions
- Are these genuine Axial parts or aftermarket alternatives? — These are 100% genuine Axial factory hardware, manufactured to the same exacting standards as the components supplied with new Axial RC models. This ensures perfect compatibility, consistent quality control, and the performance reliability that Axial is recognised for throughout the RC hobby community.
- What models are these screws compatible with? — While these M3x6mm cap head screws are originally designed for Axial models, their universal M3 threading makes them compatible with many RC cars UK from other manufacturers that use M3 fasteners. Always check your model's documentation to confirm compatibility before purchasing.
- Why is the black oxide coating important? — The black oxide finish provides superior corrosion resistance compared to standard zinc-plated or bare steel screws. This is particularly valuable for RC enthusiasts in the UK where moisture, humidity, and occasional saltwater exposure can quickly degrade inferior coatings, extending the service life of your fasteners.
- How many screws do I need for a complete RC rebuild? — This pack contains 10 screws, which is typically sufficient for minor repairs or component replacements on ready to run RC models. For a complete chassis rebuild, you may need multiple packs depending on your specific model's requirements, so it's worth checking your assembly manual or contacting our RC Model Shop team for guidance.
- Can these screws be reused, or should they be replaced after removal? — These screws can generally be reused multiple times without issue, though the precision hex head can eventually wear if repeatedly tightened with an ill-fitting hex driver. Always use a correctly-sized hex key to prevent stripping and damage to the bolt head.
- Are threadlocker compounds recommended? — While not strictly necessary, applying a small amount of threadlocker (such as Loctite thread-locking compound) to these screws in high-vibration areas of your RC car UK—such as suspension mounting points or body posts—is a best practice that prevents fasteners from gradually loosening during intense driving sessions.
