Technical Performance
The Losi 2-56 x 5/8 inch Caphead Screws represent precision fastening solutions engineered to exacting standards. The 2-56 designation refers to a machine thread specification where 2 is the screw diameter in imperial measurements and 56 is the threads-per-inch count, providing fine thread engagement that is ideal for precision RC applications. The 5/8 inch length measurement is taken from the bottom of the fastener head to the tip, allowing these screws to penetrate appropriately into mounting bosses and threaded inserts without excessive protrusion. The hex socket head design, commonly known as a cap screw or Allen head screw, provides a clean, professional appearance on finished RC models whilst offering superior torque transfer compared to traditional slotted or Phillips head alternatives. Machine threads, as opposed to wood screws or self-tapping screws, require pre-formed threaded holes or inserts and are the professional standard for precision RC applications where thread integrity and repeatable assembly is paramount. The engineering of these fasteners ensures that whether you're assembling a ready to run RC car UK model fresh from the box, performing maintenance on your competition racing setup, or upgrading suspension and drivetrain components on your favourite bashers, you have genuine Losi specification parts that integrate perfectly with your models and maintain the quality standards expected of genuine manufacturer components.
