Overview
The Axial M4 x 3mm Cup Point Set Screw is an essential replacement and upgrade component for RC enthusiasts in the UK who demand precision engineering and reliable performance. These high-quality grub screws are specifically designed for use with Axial 1/6 scale rock crawlers and trail vehicles, making them an indispensable part of any RC model shop's spare parts inventory. Whether you're a serious competitor, a weekend basher, or someone who enjoys maintaining their RC car collection, having the correct fasteners on hand ensures your vehicles perform at their best and last longer.
Set screws are critical components in RC vehicles, used to secure shafts, bushings, and other precision components that require a solid, permanent grip without protruding heads. The cup point design of these screws is specifically engineered to bite into softer materials, creating a mechanical lock that prevents unwanted rotation and slippage during aggressive off-road driving. This makes them particularly valuable for Axial's renowned 1/6 scale rock crawlers, which demand the highest standards of reliability and durability when tackling challenging terrain.
As an authorised Axial retailer, RC Model Shop supplies genuine OEM replacement fasteners that meet exact factory specifications. This 10-pack of M4 x 3mm cup point set screws ensures you have spares readily available for maintenance, repairs, or upgrades to your Axial SCX6 Jeep JLU Wrangler or Trail Honcho models. Investing in genuine Axial fasteners rather than generic alternatives guarantees compatibility and performance that matches the precision engineering of your RC crawler.
Key Features
- M4 x 3mm sizing — The M4 diameter and 3mm length are precisely engineered to fit Axial 1/6 scale rock crawlers including the SCX6 Jeep JLU Wrangler and SCX6 Trail Honcho, ensuring perfect compatibility with your existing setup without modification.
- Cup point design — The recessed cup-shaped point on the end of each screw grips into softer metallic materials, creating a mechanical lock that prevents shaft rotation and prevents loosening under the vibration and stress of off-road driving conditions.
- Machine thread specification — These are machine-thread grub screws rather than wood screws, meaning they have consistent, precise threading throughout their length, which is essential for reliable engagement in threaded holes without stripping.
- Hex driver head — The hex socket in the head accepts standard hex allen keys or hex drivers, allowing you to tighten and remove these screws quickly and easily with standard RC tools or multi-tools.
- Silver colour finish — The silver finish provides a professional appearance and indicates the quality stainless steel or hardened steel construction that resists corrosion and wear during outdoor RC driving.
- Pack of ten — Ten screws in each pack give you multiple spares for repairs, maintenance, and upgrades across different components or vehicles, reducing the need for repeated purchases.
Technical Performance
These Axial M4 x 3mm cup point set screws represent the standard in fastening technology for 1/6 scale RC rock crawlers and off-road vehicles. The machine thread design ensures consistent pitch and reliable engagement in pre-drilled threaded holes, with the cup point creating a mechanical interference fit that locks the screw in place without relying on thread-locking compounds alone. The M4 diameter and 3mm length are specifically engineered for Axial's precision engineering requirements, fitting perfectly with components like drive shafts, suspension bushings, and other critical assemblies on the SCX6 platform. The hex driver head allows for precise torque application without risk of cam-out or stripping, which is crucial when working with delicate RC components where over-tightening could cause damage. The silver finish indicates hard-wearing steel construction designed to withstand the corrosive effects of outdoor driving, mud, water, and exposure to the elements that UK RC enthusiasts regularly encounter. Whether you're replacing worn fasteners, building custom setups, or maintaining your RC car collection, these genuine Axial screws provide the reliability and precision that serious RC hobbyists demand.

- Why should I choose genuine Axial fasteners over generic alternatives? — Genuine Axial fasteners are manufactured to exact OEM specifications and quality standards, ensuring perfect compatibility with your vehicle's components and matching the precision engineering of your rock crawler. Generic screws may have slightly different dimensions, inferior material quality, or inconsistent threading that can cause poor fit, stripping, or performance issues.

- What tools do I need to install these set screws? — You will need a hex allen key or hex driver that fits the M4 socket head. Most RC model shops and online retailers sell multi-tool hex driver sets that include all common sizes needed for Axial vehicles.
