Overview
The Losi 8-32 x 1/8 inch Flat Point Set Screws are essential replacement fasteners for RC enthusiasts and serious hobbyists across the UK who demand reliability and precision in their model builds. Whether you're maintaining a competition-grade RC car, tuning your weekend basher, or building a custom RC setup from scratch, these genuine Losi fasteners represent the quality and engineering you'd expect from one of the industry's most respected manufacturers. RC car UK builders and mechanics recognise that using OEM (original equipment manufacturer) screws like these ensures perfect fitment, longevity, and hassle-free assembly every time.
Flat point set screws serve a critical function in RC vehicle construction and maintenance. Unlike standard screws with rounded or Phillips heads, flat point set screws feature a distinctive flat tip that creates a secure, flush contact point when installed into pre-drilled holes or threaded inserts. This design is particularly valuable in RC applications where space is limited, vibration is constant, and precise mechanical alignment is essential for optimal performance. The 8-32 thread size and 1/8 inch length make these screws ideal for securing small components, adjusting mechanisms, and holding parts in place on medium-sized RC vehicles.
When you purchase the Losi Z-LOSA6296 set screws, you're investing in authentic OEM parts that have been engineered and tested specifically for use on Losi RC vehicles and many compatible third-party platforms. Each pack contains eight individual screws, providing you with spare fasteners for current projects and future builds. Whether you're a seasoned RC competitor looking to maintain your fleet, a weekend RC enthusiast building your next project, or someone just discovering the world of ready to run RC cars for the first time, having quality spare screws on hand is a smart decision that will save you time and frustration.

Technical Performance
The Losi 8-32 x 1/8 inch Flat Point Set Screws represent precision engineering at its finest. These fasteners are manufactured to exacting tolerances that ensure smooth installation into threaded holes and secure, rattle-free performance even under the demanding conditions that RC vehicles regularly endure. The 8-32 thread specification refers to a number 8 screw diameter with 32 threads per inch, a standard sizing system widely recognised across the RC hobby and industrial fastener industries. The flat point design distinguishes these from traditional set screws; rather than a rounded tip or a socket for an Allen key, these screws feature a flat surface at their end that creates a large contact area when pressed against a component, distributing force more evenly and reducing the risk of damage to delicate RC parts. At 1/8 inch in length, these screws are compact enough to fit into the confined spaces typical of modern RC vehicle design whilst being substantial enough to provide genuine holding power. The material composition and manufacturing process ensure consistent quality across all eight screws in the pack, so whether you're using the first screw today or the eighth screw months from now, you'll experience the same reliable performance. These screws are essential for maintaining brushless RC cars, electric RC buggies, nitro RC vehicles, and numerous other RC platforms where precise mechanical fastening is non-negotiable.
