These precision-engineered grub screws are designed specifically for Losi RC vehicles and compatible models, making them an indispensable addition to any RC car builder's spare parts collection. Whether you're maintaining your RC buggy, tuning your RC truck, or restoring a classic Losi model, having quality replacement screws on hand ensures you can keep your vehicle in peak condition without unnecessary downtime.
Manufactured by Losi, a renowned name in the RC hobby industry, these set screws represent the genuine OEM parts that Losi recommends for their vehicles. When you're investing in quality RC models—whether it's a ready to run RC car or a competition-grade racing machine—using authentic replacement parts like these ensures compatibility, longevity and reliable performance. The cup point design means these screws feature a concave tip that grips into a mating surface, providing secure fastening for various RC components that require a hex key driver for adjustment and maintenance.
This pack contains 10 individual screws, giving you multiple replacement options for your RC hobby projects. They're black in colour, manufactured to precise specifications, and represent the kind of attention to detail that separates quality RC products from inferior alternatives. For anyone building, repairing or maintaining Losi RC models in the UK, these set screws are a practical and cost-effective solution.
Key Features
- M3 x 3mm Specification — These screws are precisely sized at M3 diameter with a 3mm length, making them compatible with specific Losi RC components and ensuring perfect fitment without modification or forcing, which could damage your model.
- Cup Point Design — The concave cup point tip creates a secure grip when fastened into a matching surface, providing reliable hold during operation and preventing accidental loosening even during high-speed driving or aggressive off-road use.
- Hex Socket Head (Grub Screw) — These are grub screws with a hex socket, meaning they're tightened using a hex key driver rather than a Phillips or flat-head screwdriver, offering superior torque control and less risk of stripping the screw head during installation.
- Machine Thread — The machine thread design ensures smooth, consistent engagement with pre-tapped holes in your Losi RC vehicle, eliminating the need for self-tapping and reducing installation time on your RC car maintenance and setup work.
- Black Finish — The black coating provides a professional appearance while offering subtle corrosion resistance, keeping your RC model looking well-maintained across multiple seasons of use.
- Pack of 10 — With 10 screws included, you have multiple spares for different components or future projects, reducing the need for repeat orders and ensuring you're always prepared for maintenance on your RC truck, buggy or other models.
- Genuine Losi OEM Parts — These are authentic manufacturer parts, not aftermarket substitutes, guaranteeing genuine compatibility and the quality standards Losi engineers into their RC vehicles.
Technical Performance
Constructed to exacting manufacturing tolerances, the Losi Set Screws M3 x 3mm Cup Point deliver the precision fastening required in modern RC engineering. The M3 thread diameter provides adequate holding power for lightweight components whilst remaining small enough for intricate RC assembly work where space is at a premium. At 3mm in length, these screws are designed for shallow-depth applications common in RC model construction—such as fastening servo horns, adjusting turnbuckles, securing small chassis components, or holding delicate internal mechanisms in place. The cup point design is particularly valuable in RC applications where vibration and shock loads are constant factors; the concave tip bites into the mating surface more effectively than a flat-point alternative, significantly reducing the probability of component shift during operation. The machine thread specification means these screws are engineered for use in pre-tapped holes rather than cutting their own thread, which ensures smoother assembly and more reliable hold. The black finish provides subtle protection against minor corrosion from moisture, oils and general wear encountered during typical RC hobby use in the UK climate. Whether you're servicing your RC car after a muddy track session or performing routine maintenance on your collection, these screws represent the engineering standard Losi maintains throughout their product range.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What are set screws and why would I need them for my RC car? — Set screws, also called grub screws, are fasteners used to secure components in place on RC vehicles. They're essential for holding servo horns, adjusting turnbuckles, securing differential carriers, and fixing small internal mechanisms. Having quality replacements ensures your RC model stays properly assembled during operation and remains reliable during track days or casual bashing.
- Will these Losi set screws fit my RC model? — These M3 x 3mm cup point screws are specifically designed for Losi RC vehicles and will fit any Losi model that calls for this specification. Check your vehicle's manual or original parts list to confirm compatibility, or contact our team for advice on whether these screws suit your particular RC car or truck.
- What does cup point mean on a set screw? — The cup point refers to the screw tip design—it features a concave (cup-shaped) indentation rather than a flat or sharp tip. This design creates better grip and holding power when the screw is fastened into a mating surface, particularly important in RC applications where vibration and impact forces constantly stress every component.
- Are these genuine Losi parts? — Yes, these are authentic Losi original equipment manufacturer (OEM) parts. Purchasing genuine components ensures proper fitment, reliability and longevity for your RC hobby investments, and guarantees compatibility with Losi engineering specifications.
- How many screws come in this pack? — This pack contains 10 individual M3 x 3mm cup point set screws, providing multiple spares for different components or allowing you to maintain several RC vehicles without frequent reordering.
- What tools do I need to install these screws? — These are hex socket head screws (grub screws), so you'll need an appropriately-sized hex key or Allen key driver to tighten and loosen them. The hex socket design provides better grip and control than Phillips or flat-head alternatives, reducing risk of stripping during installation on your RC car.
