Key Features
- M3x25mm Specification — These metric-sized fasteners are precisely engineered to match Axial Racing's design tolerances, ensuring perfect fitment in dedicated tapping holes and mounting points throughout Axial models without the need for pre-drilling or thread-cutting complications.
- Hex Socket Design — The recessed hex socket head accepts standard hex keys for controlled installation and removal, allowing you to apply consistent torque without risk of stripping the fastener head, which is crucial when working on scale models where precision matters.
- Tapping Button Head Profile — The low-profile button head design integrates seamlessly into Axial's engineering aesthetics whilst providing excellent holding power, maintaining the authentic scale appearance of your RC crawler or model vehicle without protruding hardware.
- Black Finish — The black colouration provides a professional, finished appearance that complements modern RC scale builds and blends in with chassis and body components for a cohesive, authentic look.
- Pack of 10 — Ten screws per pack means you'll have spares for replacements, repairs, or building multiple models without the inconvenience of ordering small quantities repeatedly, representing excellent value for active RC enthusiasts.
- Genuine Axial Racing Component — As an authorised Axial spare part, these fasteners are manufactured to the same exacting standards as the original equipment, guaranteeing compatibility and reliability across the full range of Axial vehicles.
Technical Performance
The AXIAL Hex Socket Tapping Button Head Black M3x25mm screws represent precision engineering at the component level. With a diameter of M3 (3 millimetres) and length of 25 millimetres, these fasteners are sized to work with Axial's dedicated tapping points throughout their RC crawlers, scale trucks, and specialist vehicles. The tapping thread design means these screws can cut their own threads into compatible materials, reducing the need for pre-threaded holes and offering flexibility during repairs or modifications. The hex socket head design ensures secure engagement with standard 2.5mm or 3mm hex keys, allowing controlled torque application without risk of cam-out or fastener damage. The black finish is typically applied through hardening or powder coating processes that Axial employs, providing both aesthetic appeal and corrosion resistance essential for vehicles that may encounter moisture during outdoor RC adventures. Build quality is guaranteed through Axial's reputation for precision manufacturing, with consistent thread pitch and head geometry across every fastener in the pack. These components are essential for maintaining the structural integrity of scale models and crawlers, particularly in areas subjected to vibration and stress during off-road driving, making them ideal spares for the dedicated RC car UK community.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Are these screws compatible with all Axial RC models? — These M3x25mm hex socket tapping button head screws are manufactured as genuine Axial Racing spares and are designed to work with Axial's range of vehicles where M3x25mm fasteners are specified in the original design. We recommend checking your specific model's parts list to confirm compatibility, as different models may use various screw sizes and styles.
- What tools do I need to install these screws? — You'll need a hex key (Allen wrench) to install these fasteners. The hex socket design typically accepts a 2.5mm or 3mm hex key, depending on the specific screw variant. Standard hobby tool sets contain these sizes, making installation straightforward for anyone comfortable working on RC models.
- Why are these called tapping screws? — Tapping screws have specially designed threads that allow them to cut their own threads into compatible materials such as plastic or soft metals, rather than requiring pre-threaded holes. This makes them ideal for repairs and modifications where you may not have access to the original threaded holes or where you're adapting components.
- Will these last through regular RC use? — Yes. Axial's components are engineered for the demands of regular RC driving, including rock crawling, scale driving, and off-road adventures. The black finish provides corrosion resistance, and the precision engineering ensures consistent holding power. However, like all fasteners, they may loosen over time with vibration, so periodic inspection and retightening is recommended as part of routine maintenance.
- How many times can I reuse these screws? — The tapping thread design means these screws can typically be removed and reinstalled multiple times in the same hole without significant wear, provided you're not over-torquing them or working in damaged holes. If threads become stripped, moving to the next fastener size up is the traditional solution in RC maintenance.
- What's the difference between button head and other screw profiles? — Button head screws have a rounded, low-profile top compared to cap screws or socket head cap screws, which have taller domed heads. The button head design on these Axial screws provides a more scale-authentic appearance and reduces the visual impact of fasteners on finished models, whilst still offering a hex socket for secure installation.
