Overview
The Losi Flat Head Screws in steel with black oxide finish represent an essential spare part for RC enthusiasts across the UK who demand quality fasteners for their models. These M4 x 16mm countersunk screws come in a pack of 10 and are specifically engineered to meet the exacting standards required by modern RC vehicles. Whether you're maintaining your 1/8 scale nitro truggy, servicing your rock crawler, or building a competition-grade RC buggy, having the correct replacement screws on hand is crucial for keeping your RC car UK setup running smoothly. The black oxide coating provides excellent corrosion resistance, making these screws ideal for both indoor and outdoor use in various weather conditions.
Flat head screws, also known as countersunk screws, sit flush with the surface when installed, creating a smooth, professional finish that's both aesthetically pleasing and functionally superior for RC applications where aerodynamics and weight distribution matter. The Losi brand is renowned throughout the RC hobby for manufacturing high-quality spare parts and components that maintain the same precision and durability standards as their complete ready to run RC vehicles. Whether you're a seasoned racer preparing for competition or a weekend basher keeping your RC fleet in top condition, these genuine Losi fasteners are the correct choice for maintaining your equipment.
RC model ownership requires attention to detail and regular maintenance, and having genuine manufacturer spare parts ensures your vehicle performs as originally designed. The black oxide finish not only looks professional but also provides superior protection against rust and oxidation compared to standard steel fasteners, extending the lifespan of your RC model and maintaining its resale value. These screws are compatible with a wide range of Losi and Axial RC vehicles, making them a versatile addition to any RC enthusiast's spare parts collection.
Key Features
- Steel construction with black oxide finish — The use of hardened steel ensures these screws can withstand repeated assembly and disassembly cycles without stripping or breaking, whilst the black oxide coating provides enhanced corrosion resistance, protecting your RC investment from rust and degradation even in damp UK conditions.
- Countersunk flat head design — The countersunk head design allows these screws to sit flush with the surface of your RC model, eliminating any protrusions that could affect aerodynamics or create snagging points, and providing a professional, finished appearance to your vehicle.
- M4 x 16mm specifications — These screws are precisely manufactured to M4 metric diameter with a 16mm length, ensuring perfect compatibility with the designated mounting points on compatible RC models without requiring modification or adjustment.
- Hex socket drive type — The hex socket drive provides secure engagement with your driver bit, reducing the risk of stripping the fastener head and allowing for controlled torque application when tightening or removing the screws.
- Pack of 10 units — Each pack contains 10 individual screws, providing sufficient fasteners for a complete repair or assembly project, with extras for backup or future maintenance requirements.
- Genuine Losi OEM part — As an official manufacturer's part, these screws are guaranteed to meet the exact specifications and quality standards required by Losi and compatible Axial vehicles, ensuring proper fit and function.
Technical Performance
The Losi Flat Head Screws M4 x 16mm represent precision engineering at its finest, manufactured from quality hardened steel that resists the mechanical stress of repeated fastening cycles common in RC vehicle assembly and maintenance. The black oxide surface treatment is a specialised industrial process that creates a thin, protective layer of magnetite iron oxide, significantly improving corrosion resistance compared to bare steel whilst maintaining excellent mechanical properties. The countersunk design means the head of the screw sits flush with the mounting surface, crucial for maintaining the intended weight distribution and aerodynamic profile of your RC car UK. The M4 diameter provides adequate clamping force for the components typically secured by these fasteners on 1/8 scale truggy race kits and 1/6 scale rock crawlers, whilst the 16mm length ensures proper engagement with the threaded inserts or holes in your model's chassis and structural components. The machine thread type indicates these are designed for use with pre-tapped holes or threaded inserts rather than cutting into plastic, protecting your RC model's mounting points from damage and ensuring reliable, repeatable assembly cycles across many maintenance intervals.
