Overview
The Axial M2.5 x 18mm Cap Head Screws are essential spare parts for serious RC enthusiasts and scale crawler builders in the UK. Whether you're maintaining your Axial SCX10 III rock crawler, upgrading components, or building from a kit, having a reliable stock of replacement fasteners is crucial for keeping your RC vehicle in peak condition. These machine thread cap head screws are manufactured to Axial's exacting standards and are compatible with a wide range of Axial 1/10 scale 4WD rock crawlers and builders kits, making them an indispensable addition to any RC modeller's spare parts drawer.
As a dedicated RC hobbyist, you understand that quality fasteners make the difference between a well-maintained RC car UK enthusiasts trust and one prone to loose components and performance issues. These M2.5 x 18mm cap head screws are engineered for reliable performance across numerous Axial platform vehicles, from the SCX10 III Jeep CJ-7 and Jeep JT Gladiator with Portals to the Base Camp, Coyote, and iconic Toyota SR5 rock crawlers. The hex driver type ensures secure engagement and reduces the risk of stripped fasteners during assembly and maintenance, a common concern when working with precision RC scale models and builders kits.
Available in a convenient pack of 10 pieces, these black machine thread cap head screws provide excellent value for money and come from an authorised Axial dealer committed to supplying genuine parts with full compatibility guarantees. Whether you're a seasoned competitor who demands the highest specification components or a weekend basher exploring the exciting world of ready to run RC vehicles, having genuine Axial fasteners ensures your rig stays together and performs as intended.
Key Features
- M2.5 Thread Size — These screws utilise the M2.5 metric thread standard, which is specifically engineered for Axial 1/10 scale rock crawlers and builders kits, ensuring perfect compatibility and secure fastening across multiple attachment points on your RC vehicle.
- 18mm Length — The 18mm length has been precisely designed to work with various Axial suspension components, chassis parts, and body mounts, providing the correct engagement depth without risking over-threading or component damage.
- Cap Head Design — The distinctive cap head profile provides a larger bearing surface than standard fasteners, distributing load more evenly across mounting points and reducing the likelihood of fastener heads pulling through plastic or composite components common in RC scale models.
- Hex Driver Type — The integrated hex socket ensures positive engagement with your hex wrench or driver, minimising the risk of fastener slippage during installation and removal, which is essential when maintaining intricate scale crawler assemblies.
- Machine Thread Construction — These are precision machine threads rather than self-tapping variants, designed to work with pre-drilled holes and threaded inserts found throughout Axial chassis and component assemblies.
- Pack of 10 — Each pack contains 10 individual screws, providing multiple spares for repairs, maintenance, and component upgrades across your RC fleet without requiring separate orders.
- Black Finish — The black powder-coated or plated finish provides corrosion resistance and a professional appearance that matches the aesthetic of modern Axial rock crawler designs.
- Genuine Axial Part — Manufactured to original Axial specifications, these fasteners guarantee compatibility with every listed Axial platform vehicle and component assembly.
Technical Performance
These M2.5 x 18mm cap head screws represent the engineering excellence you expect from Axial, a brand recognised globally for producing precision RC scale crawlers and builders kits that demand the highest quality components. The cap head design is specifically engineered for applications where space might be limited and where a larger bearing surface is advantageous, such as when securing body panels, suspension components, or transmission assemblies on 1/10 scale rock crawlers. The machine thread construction means these screws work with pre-threaded holes rather than self-tapping into soft plastic, providing superior holding strength and the ability to be installed and removed multiple times without stripping the fastening point. The hex socket design eliminates the common frustration of fastener slip-out, ensuring that even during vigorous off-road bashashing or precision scale crawling over technical terrain, your fasteners remain secure. The black finish provides both aesthetic consistency with modern Axial vehicles and practical corrosion resistance, particularly valuable if you regularly run your RC crawler in muddy or wet conditions typical of UK terrain. At 18mm in length, these screws are precisely proportioned to engage adequately with Axial's component tolerances whilst avoiding over-threading that could damage plastic components or create assembly misalignment issues. The standardised M2.5 metric size ensures these fasteners integrate seamlessly with Axial's modular design philosophy, allowing you to substitute worn or stripped fasteners without worrying about compatibility.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Are these M2.5 x 18mm cap head screws compatible with my Axial SCX10 III rock crawler? — Yes, absolutely. These genuine Axial screws are compatible with the complete range of Axial 1/10 scale SCX10 III vehicles, including the Jeep CJ-7 4WD rock crawler in both red and copper finishes, the Jeep JT Gladiator with Portals in black, the Base Camp 4WD rock crawler in both white and grey, the Coyote 4WD in both silver and blue, the Toyota SR5 4WD rock crawler, and the Early Ford Bronco 4WD scale crawler in both blue and white finishes, as well as the SCX10 III Pro-Line Chevy K10 and both the Base Camp and complete 4WD rock crawler builders kits.
- What size hex wrench or driver do I need to install these cap head screws? — You will need a 1.5mm hex key or hex driver bit to engage the socket on these M2.5 cap head screws, which is the standard tool size for this metric fastener specification.
- Can I reuse these screws multiple times or will they strip? — These are machine thread screws designed to work with pre-threaded holes rather than self-tapping directly into plastic. When installed into properly threaded holes, they can be installed and removed multiple times without degradation, making them ideal for regular maintenance and component upgrades on your RC crawler.
- Are these screws waterproof or sealed in any way? — These are standard metric fasteners without special waterproofing treatments. However, they are precision-manufactured with tight tolerances and will resist corrosion due to the black finish. For maximum water resistance when working on scale crawlers that regularly encounter wet conditions, consider storing your RC vehicle in a dry location after running sessions.
- How many screws do I need for a typical repair or upgrade? — This depends on your specific repair or modification. A single body panel replacement might require 3-4 screws, whilst a more comprehensive suspension or transmission overhaul could use 6-8 fasteners. The pack of 10 provides sufficient spares for multiple repairs and upgrades without requiring frequent reordering.
- What makes these Axial cap head screws different from generic metric fasteners? — Genuine Axial fasteners are manufactured to precise tolerances that match the engineering specifications of Axial components. The hex socket engagement is optimised for Axial's driver tools, the length has been carefully selected to match Axial's assembly requirements, and the finish is specified to resist corrosion whilst maintaining compatibility with Axial's colour schemes and aesthetic standards.
