The Losi 5-40 x 1/8 inch Flat Point Set Screws are precision fasteners designed for RC enthusiasts who demand reliability and compatibility with their Losi models.

As a dedicated RC car UK retailer, we stock authentic Losi spare parts to keep your models running at their best, and these setscrews are an essential component for any serious RC hobbyist.
Set screws are fundamental to RC vehicle assembly and maintenance, used to secure components like motor shafts, pulleys, gears and other critical parts that require a reliable, non-permanent fastening solution. The flat point design ensures secure engagement with the component being fastened, preventing slippage and maintaining proper alignment during operation. For RC enthusiasts in the UK who value precision engineering and authentic OEM parts, choosing genuine Losi setscrews means your models will perform as the designers intended.
This pack contains eight individual setscrews, giving you enough spares for multiple repairs or builds. The 5-40 thread specification and 1/8 inch length make these setscrews suitable for numerous Losi RC vehicles and components. If you're building a ready to run RC car or maintaining a fleet of models, having a stock of quality setscrews on hand is simply good practice.
Key Features
- Genuine Losi Component — These setscrews are manufactured by Losi to their exacting specifications, ensuring perfect compatibility with Losi RC vehicles and components. Using authentic OEM parts protects your investment and maintains manufacturer specifications.
- 5-40 Thread Specification — The 5-40 thread size is a standard specification across many Losi models and RC components, making these setscrews versatile for multiple applications and repairs across your collection.
- 1/8 Inch Length — This compact length is ideal for securing components in tight spaces where longer setscrews would not fit, providing the perfect solution for precision RC assembly work.
- Flat Point Design — The flat point configuration creates a larger contact surface with the component being secured, distributing pressure more evenly and providing superior grip compared to pointed alternatives, reducing the risk of component damage or slippage during use.
- Pack of Eight — With eight setscrews included, you have multiple spares for different projects or can maintain a supply for ongoing maintenance needs, making this excellent value for money.
- Precision Engineering — Manufactured to tight tolerances, these setscrews deliver consistent performance and reliable fastening every time you use them, which is essential when building competitive or high-performance RC models.
Technical Performance
Losi setscrews are engineered with precision manufacturing standards that ensure consistent quality and reliable performance in demanding RC applications. The 5-40 x 1/8 inch specification represents a carefully chosen size balance, delivering adequate thread engagement for secure fastening without being so large as to interfere with sensitive component placement. The flat point configuration is a critical design feature that distributes clamping force across a wider surface area than traditional pointed setscrews, protecting delicate RC components from being marred or damaged during installation. The steel construction provides the strength needed to maintain secure fastening under the vibration, acceleration and stress that RC vehicles experience during normal operation. Whether you're assembling a new model or performing maintenance on existing equipment, these setscrews maintain their integrity and provide the holding power required. The compact 1/8 inch length makes them ideal for applications where space is limited, such as securing small pulleys, gears or motor shafts in tight assembly areas. For RC enthusiasts maintaining a collection of Losi vehicles or those building custom configurations, having a ready supply of quality setscrews means you can complete repairs quickly and keep your models running without delays.
