Key Features
- Genuine Axial Factory Hardware — These screws are genuine OEM components manufactured by Axial themselves, ensuring they meet exact specifications and quality standards that aftermarket alternatives simply cannot match, providing reliability you can depend on.
- Precision Hex Head Design — The precision-engineered hex head provides an optimal fit with hex drivers and sockets, which is essential for preventing the annoying and destructive problem of stripping that can ruin both the screw and the receiving hole.
- Self-Tapping Thread Type — The self-tapping profile allows these screws to cut their own thread path, making installation straightforward and reducing the need for pre-drilled holes, which saves time during assembly and repairs.
- Button Head Style — The button head profile is specifically designed to sit flush or slightly proud on RC components, providing a neat appearance and ensuring proper clearance in confined spaces commonly found in RC chassis design.
- M3x8mm Specification — With an M3 diameter and 8mm length, these fasteners are sized to fit specific mounting points on Axial vehicles, ensuring compatibility and proper engagement without bottoming out.
- Black Durable Coating — The black coating is applied to durable steel construction, providing both aesthetic consistency with most RC builds and corrosion resistance to protect against rust and degradation during outdoor use.
- Quantity — Pack of 10 — Each pack contains ten screws, giving you plenty of spares for multiple repairs, replacement, or building projects without running short mid-project.
Technical Performance
The AXIAL Hex Tap Button Head M3x8mm represents the standard of precision engineering you expect from genuine OEM RC hardware. Each screw is manufactured from high-quality steel and finished with a durable black coating that provides both protection and a professional appearance on your RC model. The self-tapping thread design eliminates the need for pre-tapped holes in many applications, which streamlines assembly and repair work on your RC vehicles. The precision hex head ensures maximum contact surface with your hex key or socket, dramatically reducing the risk of stripping—a critical consideration when working with precision RC components where tolerances are tight and damage can be costly. The M3x8mm dimensions are engineered to fit specific mounting points on compatible Axial platforms, including the popular Axial SCX10 II Deadbolt, ensuring proper thread engagement and load distribution. Whether you're replacing worn fasteners, building from spare parts, or completing a fresh assembly, these genuine Axial screws deliver the performance consistency and durability that has made Axial a trusted name in the RC hobby across the UK and globally.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What RC models use M3x8mm hex tap button head screws? — These screws are compatible with the Axial 1/10 SCX10 II Deadbolt 4WD Brushed RTR and other Axial RC vehicles that specify M3x8mm fasteners in their assembly instructions or parts lists. Always check your specific model's documentation to confirm compatibility before ordering.
- Why choose genuine Axial hardware over cheaper alternatives? — Genuine OEM Axial fasteners are engineered to exact specifications and manufactured under strict quality control, ensuring proper fit and durability. Cheap aftermarket screws often have inconsistent quality, poor hex head geometry, and inferior materials that strip easily and fail prematurely, costing you more in the long run.
- Are these self-tapping screws easy to install? — Yes, the self-tapping design means these screws cut their own thread path, making installation straightforward for anyone with basic mechanical skills. The precision hex head requires the correct size hex key or socket to avoid stripping, so use an appropriately sized tool and apply steady, even pressure during installation.
- How many screws do I need? — This depends on your specific RC model and the parts you're assembling or repairing. This pack of 10 provides excellent value and gives you multiple spare screws for future repairs and projects. Most RC builders keep several packs on hand for convenience.
- Can these be used on other RC brands? — While these are Axial-specific hardware, M3x8mm hex socket tapping button head screws may work on other brands if the mounting holes are compatible. However, for best results and guaranteed fit, use OEM hardware matched to your specific RC vehicle manufacturer.
- What tools do I need to install these screws? — You'll need an appropriately sized hex key or hex socket (typically 2.5mm or 3mm depending on the screw design) and a screwdriver or power driver. For RC applications, many enthusiasts prefer manual hex keys to maintain precise control and avoid over-tightening.
