Button head cap screws are the preferred choice among serious RC hobbyists because they offer a clean, flush appearance and superior holding power compared to standard fasteners.

RC car UK enthusiasts trust Losi components for their durability, precision manufacturing, and compatibility with leading RC brands.
If you are building or maintaining a TLR 1/8 8IGHT-XT or 8IGHT-XTE 4WD nitro or electric truggy, these fasteners are specifically engineered to fit your chassis perfectly. Even if you are not running one of these models, these screws are versatile enough for use across many different RC vehicle types. Keeping spare fasteners on hand is a hallmark of experienced RC builders and racers who understand that reliable hardware is the foundation of consistent performance.
Key Features
- Button Head Design — The button head configuration provides a low-profile, aesthetically pleasing appearance while offering superior strength compared to standard pan head screws, meaning your RC car will look cleaner and the fasteners will maintain superior clamping force throughout extended use.
- 2-56 Thread Specification — This is a standard thread size widely used throughout modern RC vehicles, ensuring broad compatibility with your existing collection and future builds of RC cars UK.
- 1/2 Inch Length — The half-inch length is precisely calculated to secure mid-sized components without excessive protrusion, which could interfere with moving parts or create snagging hazards during transport or racing.
- Pack of Eight — Eight screws per pack gives you enough fasteners for complete assemblies or to maintain a spares inventory, essential for any serious RC hobbyist who wants to minimise downtime.
- Losi Manufacturing Quality — Manufactured by Losi, a trusted name in RC engineering, these screws meet strict quality standards ensuring consistent thread quality, hardness, and dimensional accuracy every single time.
- Reliable Fastening — Button head cap screws provide superior holding power and are less likely to slip or loosen compared to standard fasteners, giving you confidence that your components will stay secure during high-speed racing or aggressive bashing.
Technical Performance
These Losi button head cap screws are precision-engineered fasteners manufactured to exacting standards for the demanding environment of RC racing and recreational driving. The 2-56 thread size represents a fine thread pitch that provides excellent clamping force without requiring excessive tightening, protecting delicate RC chassis components from damage. The 1/2 inch length has been carefully selected to work with standard RC suspension mounts, chassis plates, and component brackets found on mid-sized vehicles. The button head configuration offers a socket head interface that accepts standard hex keys, allowing you to apply torque precisely without stripping the fastener head. Unlike standard pan head or flathead screws, button head cap screws distribute clamping load over a larger area, reducing the risk of pulling through soft anodised aluminium or plastic components common in RC vehicles. These fasteners maintain their integrity under the vibration and stress experienced during high-speed runs, jumps, and competitive racing. The material composition ensures durability while remaining light enough not to negatively impact your vehicle's weight distribution or performance characteristics.
