Overview
The Axial M3 x 30mm Cup Point Set Screw (10) is an essential replacement part for RC enthusiasts and serious hobbyists who maintain their own models. Whether you're running an Axial crawler, buggy, or any RC vehicle that uses M3 fasteners, this pack of 10 precision grub screws ensures you always have spares on hand when you need them. These cup point set screws are the ideal solution for securing components, adjusting suspension geometry, and performing routine maintenance on your RC car or truck. For anyone investing in quality RC vehicles, having a reliable supply of OEM Axial parts is crucial to keeping your model in peak condition throughout the season.
Set screws play a vital role in RC vehicle assembly and tuning. Unlike standard bolts, cup point set screws feature a recessed socket that allows precise tightening without protruding fasteners that could catch on terrain or debris. The M3 x 30mm size is a common specification across many Axial platforms, making this pack a practical addition to any RC workshop or spare parts box. Whether you're a weekend basher exploring the world of RC for the first time, or an experienced competitor fine-tuning your vehicle setup, having genuine Axial fasteners ensures compatibility and reliability. RC hobbyists across the UK rely on quality spare parts to extend the lifespan of their vehicles and maintain consistent performance during races and casual driving sessions.
This pack contains 10 individual screws, providing excellent value and ensuring you're never left without a critical fastener during your RC car maintenance and repair work. Black finish, machine thread construction, and hex driver compatibility make these set screws straightforward to install and adjust using standard RC tools available at any hobby retailer.
Key Features
- Cup Point Design — The recessed cup point socket head allows for precise tightening and adjustment without any protrusion, which is essential for RC vehicle applications where flush fasteners prevent snagging on terrain, vegetation, or other obstacles during off-road driving.
- M3 x 30mm Specifications — This size is a standard specification across numerous Axial RC platforms, ensuring perfect compatibility with your existing vehicles and making it a versatile addition to your spare parts collection.
- Genuine Axial Part — Sourced directly from Axial, these screws are engineered to exact OEM specifications and material standards, guaranteeing reliable performance and longevity compared to generic aftermarket alternatives.
- Hex Driver Compatible — The grub screw head accepts standard hex key drivers, meaning you can use tools you likely already have in your RC toolkit, making installation and adjustment quick and straightforward.
- Black Finish — The black oxide finish provides corrosion resistance and professional appearance, helping these fasteners maintain their integrity even when exposed to dirt, moisture, and outdoor conditions typical of RC vehicle use.
- Machine Thread Construction — Precision machine threading ensures consistent engagement and secure holding power, critical for maintaining component alignment and preventing loosening during vibration and aggressive driving.
- Pack of 10 — With ten screws included, you have multiple spares for different adjustment points or future maintenance sessions, representing better value than purchasing individual fasteners and ensuring you're never caught short during critical repairs.
Technical Performance
The Axial M3 x 30mm Cup Point Set Screw represents precision engineering at the component level, which is exactly what serious RC enthusiasts expect from a dedicated manufacturer like Axial. The M3 diameter provides the correct balance of strength and adjustability for typical RC vehicle suspension geometry, servo mounting, and component securing applications. The 30mm length accommodates various assembly configurations across Axial's range of crawlers, buggies, and other platforms. The machine thread design ensures that once tightened, these screws maintain their position without backing out during aggressive driving, high-speed runs, or challenging terrain navigation. The hex driver interface is a practical choice for RC work, as hex keys are standard equipment in any RC technician's toolbox. The cup point design is particularly important in RC applications because it creates a clean, flush surface that doesn't interfere with moving parts, cable routing, or component clearance. The black finish is not merely aesthetic—it represents a protective oxide layer that resists corrosion from water exposure, dirt contamination, and the corrosive effects of battery acid or cleaning solvents commonly used in RC maintenance. For any RC vehicle owner in the UK who values reliability and ease of maintenance, having genuine Axial fasteners in your parts box is a wise investment that will pay dividends across multiple seasons of use.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What is a cup point set screw and why does my RC car need them? — Cup point set screws, also called grub screws, are fasteners with a recessed socket head that secure components without protruding beyond the surface. In RC vehicles, they're used to hold servo arms, suspension geometry blocks, and other critical components in precise positions. The cup point design prevents snagging on terrain and ensures components stay properly aligned during driving.
- Are these genuine Axial parts compatible with my RC vehicle? — Yes, these are genuine Axial parts specified as M3 x 30mm, which is a standard size used across many Axial RC platforms including crawlers and buggies. Always verify your vehicle's manual or check existing fasteners to confirm this size matches your specific model before ordering.
- What tools do I need to install these set screws? — You'll need a hex key (allen key) that fits the M3 socket. Most RC toolkits include hex key sets, and the M3 size is standard across most hobby retailers. A torque-limiting hex driver is recommended to prevent over-tightening and stripping.
- How many screws should I use per application? — The number depends on your specific vehicle assembly and adjustment points. With 10 screws included, you have multiple spares for different components or future maintenance. Consult your vehicle manual for recommended fastening points and quantities.
- Why is the black finish important on RC fasteners? — The black oxide finish provides protection against corrosion from water, mud, and cleaning solvents. This is important for RC vehicles that are regularly exposed to outdoor conditions, dirt, and moisture, helping fasteners maintain their integrity and preventing rust that could cause seizing.
- Can I use generic M3 set screws instead of these Axial parts? — While generic fasteners might fit, OEM Axial screws are engineered to exact specifications for your vehicle and represent a small investment that ensures compatibility, reliability, and peace of mind. Genuine parts are recommended for critical suspension and component securing applications.
