Overview
The LOS Button Head Screws 5-40 x 7/8 inch (10) Z-LOSA6282 are essential replacement fasteners for Losi RC models and compatible vehicles. Whether you're maintaining your RC car UK collection, performing routine maintenance, or rebuilding components after a bash session, these precision screws are the perfect genuine Losi spare parts to keep your models running smoothly. Button head screws are a critical component in RC vehicle assembly, offering a low-profile design that sits flush with mounting surfaces whilst providing secure fastening for internal and external components.
For enthusiasts of Losi RC vehicles—from competitive racers to weekend bashers—having a stock of quality replacement screws is essential for keeping your models in peak condition. These genuine Losi fasteners ensure compatibility with your specific RC car, buggy, or truck, eliminating the guesswork of sourcing third-party alternatives. The 5-40 thread specification and 7/8 inch length make these screws ideal for a range of assembly tasks on Losi platforms, whether you're working on suspension components, body mounts, or internal drive mechanisms.
Button head screws differ from flat head and socket head alternatives in their distinctive rounded, domed profile, which provides an attractive appearance whilst maintaining excellent load-bearing capability. This particular pack of 10 screws gives you enough spares for multiple repair jobs or complete rebuild projects, ensuring you're never caught short during maintenance or competition preparation.
Key Features
- 5-40 Thread Specification — The 5-40 metric designation is a standard fastener size for Losi RC platforms, ensuring perfect compatibility with your Losi vehicle's pre-threaded holes and mounting points without need for adaptation or modification.
- 7/8 Inch Length — At 7/8 inch in length, these screws provide the optimal penetration depth for secure fastening of components including suspension links, body panels, and internal assemblies on Losi RC cars and trucks.
- Button Head Design — The distinctive button head profile offers a low-profile, streamlined appearance compared to traditional pan head or flat head screws, whilst providing excellent structural integrity and load distribution for reliable long-term fastening.
- Hex Driver Type — These screws feature a hex socket drive system, requiring only a small hex key (Allen key) for installation and removal, making them quick to work with in the field or workshop without specialized tools.
- Pack of 10 — Each pack contains 10 screws, giving you sufficient spares for multiple repair jobs, maintenance tasks, or complete component rebuilds, ensuring you can tackle any fastening challenge that arises during RC vehicle ownership.
- Genuine Losi Component — These are authentic Losi factory parts, manufactured to the exacting standards expected from a leading RC vehicle manufacturer, ensuring perfect fit, finish, and reliability compared to generic alternatives.
Technical Performance
These LOS Button Head Screws represent the engineering precision that Losi brings to every aspect of RC vehicle design and manufacture. The 5-40 x 7/8 inch specification has been carefully selected to work seamlessly with Losi's platform designs, providing optimal fastening characteristics across a range of assembly scenarios. The hex drive system offers superior torque transfer compared to slot-drive alternatives, reducing the risk of stripped screw heads during installation or maintenance work. The button head profile minimises protrusion, important when working with tight-tolerance assemblies where traditional pan head or socket head screws might create clearance issues or aesthetic problems. Whether you're performing routine maintenance on your RC buggy UK model, replacing worn fasteners, or undertaking a complete suspension rebuild, these screws deliver the reliability and consistency that competitive and recreational RC enthusiasts depend upon. The material composition and manufacturing tolerances ensure that threads engage securely without requiring excessive torque, protecting both the screw and the mounting surface from damage during installation or removal.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What is a button head screw and how does it differ from other screw types? — A button head screw features a distinctive rounded, dome-shaped head that sits lower and more flush than traditional pan head screws, whilst offering better load distribution and a more attractive appearance.
