Key Features
- M3x30mm Size — This metric fastener size is a standard specification across many AXIAL models and compatible RC vehicles, ensuring perfect fit and reliable compatibility with your existing parts and replacement components.
- Hex Socket Button Head Design — The hex socket driver type allows for precise, controlled tightening with Allen key tools, preventing cam-out and providing a secure hold that won't slip during assembly or field adjustments.
- Black Finish — The black colour not only matches professional-grade RC components and gives your model a polished appearance, but also provides enhanced corrosion resistance for outdoor use in varied UK weather conditions.
- Self-Tapping Thread Type — These screws feature self-tapping threads, meaning they can cut their own thread pathway into compatible materials without requiring pre-drilled holes, making repairs and replacements faster and more convenient.
- Pack of 10 — With ten screws per pack, you have enough fasteners for comprehensive repairs, component upgrades, or maintaining a well-stocked RC workshop without constant reordering.
- Button Head Profile — The low-profile button head design sits flush against mounting surfaces, maintaining the clean lines of your RC model whilst providing a professional finish that looks as good as factory assembly.
Technical Performance
These M3x30mm hex socket button head screws are engineered to exacting standards that AXIAL applies across their entire range of RC vehicles and replacement components. The self-tapping thread design means these fasteners can establish secure connections in a variety of materials commonly used in RC model construction, from plastic chassis components to aluminium brackets and body mounts. The hex socket driver provides superior grip and control compared to traditional Phillips or slot-drive fasteners, significantly reducing the risk of stripping the screw head during installation or field maintenance. The 30mm length makes these screws suitable for through-bolting applications, securing layered components, or fastening items that require the screw to pass completely through mounting points. The black finish is applied through professional-grade coating that resists fading, corrosion, and damage from exposure to dirt, mud, water, and the demanding conditions encountered during serious RC off-road driving. Whether you're assembling rock crawlers, trail trucks, buggies, or other specialist RC vehicles, these fasteners deliver the reliability and precision that serious hobbyists demand. The self-tapping characteristic means installation is straightforward and requires minimal preparation, making these screws ideal for emergency repairs at the track, field repairs during bashings, or meticulous assembly in your home workshop.

These come in standard metric sizes and are widely available at any RC hobby shop or hardware retailer across the UK. A torque-limiting driver is recommended for precision assembly.
- Why choose hex socket button heads over other fastener designs? — Hex socket button head screws offer several advantages including superior grip that prevents cam-out, clean aesthetic appearance on finished models, low profile that doesn't interfere with moving components, and the ability to apply precise torque control during assembly and maintenance.
- How many models can I repair with one pack of 10 screws? — With ten screws per pack, you can complete multiple repairs or component replacements depending on what you're fixing. A typical RC model might require 2-4 screws for a complete assembly, so one pack could handle repairs on several vehicles or component upgrades on a single model.
