Key Features
- 5-40 Thread Size — These screws utilise the 5-40 thread specification, which is a standard fastening size across many Losi RC models and compatible vehicles, ensuring broad compatibility with your RC car collection and spares inventory.
- 3/4 Inch Length — The 3/4 inch (approximately 19mm) length provides the correct depth for securing components on Losi vehicles without protruding excessively or failing to reach threaded mounting points on your RC buggy or truck.
- Flat Head Countersunk Design — The countersunk flat head profile allows these screws to sit completely flush with the surface of your RC model, creating a clean aesthetic finish whilst maintaining a low profile that won't interfere with moving parts or bodywork clearance.
- Machine Thread Construction — These are precision machine thread screws rather than wood screws, meaning they're engineered for use in pre-drilled threaded holes and provide superior holding power and reliability compared to self-tapping alternatives.
- Hex Driver Type — The hex socket driver design means you'll use a hex key or Allen wrench for installation and removal, providing excellent grip and control during assembly work on your RC car without the risk of stripping the fastener head like you might experience with Phillips or slot-head alternatives.
- Pack of Ten — This generous pack of 10 screws ensures you have spares for repairs, replacements, and experimentation without needing to reorder constantly, making it ideal for maintaining your RC hobby collection.
- Genuine Losi Manufacturer — As an official Losi product (part number Z-LOSA6272), these screws are manufactured to the brand's quality standards and are guaranteed to be compatible with genuine Losi vehicles and Losi-compatible platforms across the RC car UK market.
Technical Performance
These Losi 5-40 x 3/4 inch flat head screws represent precision engineering in fastener design, manufactured with attention to detail that RC enthusiasts expect from a trusted brand. The 5-40 thread specification has been carefully chosen to provide secure fastening on Losi RC vehicles without over-tightening, which could damage plastic or aluminium mounting points common on modern RC buggies and trucks. The countersunk flat head design is particularly important for RC applications where aerodynamics, ground clearance, and visual aesthetics matter — by sitting completely flush with the surface, these screws eliminate protrusions that could catch on terrain, interfere with suspension geometry, or damage your vehicle's bodywork during high-speed runs or off-road bashing. The hex socket driver provides a large contact area for reliable torque application, essential when working with precision RC models where stripped fasteners can quickly escalate into significant repair headaches. With a pack of 10 screws, you'll have adequate spares for multiple repairs, custom modifications, and maintenance across your RC hobby equipment. The machine thread construction (as opposed to self-tapping screws) ensures these fasteners are designed to work in properly threaded mounting holes, delivering consistent clamping force and reliability through countless assembly and disassembly cycles that are typical during the RC ownership experience.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What Losi RC models are compatible with these 5-40 x 3/4 flat head screws? — These screws are designed as a genuine Losi spare part and will be compatible with Losi vehicles that use 5-40 threaded mounting points. The 5-40 specification is used across various Losi platforms including RC buggies, trucks, and other vehicles in their range. If you're uncertain about compatibility with your specific model, we recommend checking your vehicle's manual or contacting our team at RC Model Shop for guidance.
- What tools do I need to install these flat head screws? — These screws feature a hex socket head, which means you'll need an appropriately sized hex key or Allen wrench for installation and removal. Hex sockets are preferred by RC enthusiasts because they provide excellent grip, minimise the risk of slipping and damaging the fastener, and allow for precise torque application during assembly work on your RC car or truck.
- Are these screws suitable for outdoor RC bashing and off-road use? — Yes, absolutely. These genuine Losi machine thread screws are engineered to withstand the demands of outdoor RC driving, whether you're bashing your RC buggy through rough terrain or racing competitively on off-road tracks. The secure hex socket connection and countersunk design mean they'll remain tight through vibration and impact whilst sitting completely flush with your vehicle's surfaces.
- How many screws do I get in this pack? — This pack contains 10 flat head screws, providing a generous supply for repairs, replacements, and custom modifications across your RC hobby collection without the need to reorder frequently.
- What is the difference between these machine thread screws and wood screws or self-tapping screws? — Machine thread screws like these are designed for use in pre-drilled holes with existing threads, providing superior holding power, consistency, and reliability compared to self-tapping alternatives. For RC vehicles where precision and reliability are paramount, machine thread fasteners are the professional choice and what manufacturers like Losi specify for their vehicles.
- Why is the countersunk flat head design important for my RC model? — The countersunk flat head design allows the screw to sit completely flush with the surface, eliminating protrusions that could catch on terrain during off-road driving, interfere with suspension components, or compromise the aerodynamic profile of your RC car's bodywork during high-speed runs.
