- 5-40 Thread Specification — The 5-40 machine thread sizing is a standard specification used across numerous Losi RC platforms, making this pack versatile for multiple repair and upgrade applications on your RC car or truck.
- 5/8 Inch Length — The 5/8 inch length provides the precise depth required for critical fastening applications on Losi RC vehicles, whether you're reassembling suspension components, securing body mounts or other assemblies.
- Caphead Design with Hex Socket — The caphead socket head style allows for secure fastening using a hex key or Allen wrench, providing excellent grip and reducing the risk of bolt head damage during installation or removal compared to other fastening methods.
- Silver Finish — The silver colour provides corrosion resistance and a professional appearance that matches the quality standard of genuine Losi RC components and OEM replacement parts.
- Pack of Eight — Eight screws per pack means you have backup parts for multiple repair jobs, making this an economical choice for maintaining your RC vehicle collection or keeping a spare parts inventory on hand.

Technical Performance
The LOS Caphead Screw Z-LOSA6241 represents precision engineering in miniature fastening technology. These machine thread screws are manufactured to exacting tolerances that Losi engineers have specified for their RC vehicles, ensuring that when you reinstall them, you're achieving the exact clamping force and alignment that your RC car's designers intended. The 5-40 thread pitch is a metric specification widely used across the RC industry, particularly in Losi's current and legacy model ranges. The caphead socket head design provides superior engagement compared to slotted or Phillips head alternatives, meaning you can apply firm torque without fear of stripping the head. The silver finish offers basic corrosion protection, important when your RC car is exposed to outdoor environments, wet grass, dust and debris during outdoor RC racing or weekend bashing sessions. Whether you're performing routine maintenance on your RC buggy, replacing worn fasteners on a competition RC truck, or building a custom RC car from the ground up, these screws deliver the reliability and precision that serious RC hobbyists expect from genuine Losi parts.
