Overview
The Team Losi Racing Button Head Screws M3 x 8mm (10) are essential replacement fasteners designed specifically for the TLR 8IGHT-X/E 2.0 1/8 scale nitro and electric buggy. These precision-engineered hardware components are manufactured by Team Losi Racing to exact OEM specifications, ensuring perfect compatibility with your competition-grade RC buggy. Whether you're a serious racer competing at the highest levels or an enthusiast maintaining your RC car UK between events, having quality replacement screws in your pit box is absolutely critical to keeping your vehicle race-ready.
Team Losi Racing has built its reputation on manufacturing RC buggies that combine innovative engineering with meticulous attention to detail. The same philosophy extends to every component part they produce, including these button head screws. During intense competitive racing, the vibration and stress from repeated acceleration, braking, and impacts can gradually loosen fasteners throughout your buggy. Even experienced drivers performing routine maintenance checks might miss a slightly loose screw, which could lead to catastrophic failure during a crucial race run. That's why having a supply of genuine TLR replacement hardware ensures you can quickly address any fastener that needs attention or replacement.
These button head screws are the exact specification used in the TLR 8IGHT-X/E 2.0 race kit, which represents the fastest and easiest to drive TLR 1/8 buggy available today. By using genuine TLR parts, you're not just replacing worn components—you're maintaining the precision engineering that makes this platform so competitive. This 10-pack gives you multiple screws so you can stock your workshop and pit box with spares, ensuring you're never caught unprepared on race day.
Key Features
- OEM Specification Design — These button head screws are manufactured by Team Losi Racing specifically for the 8IGHT-X/E 2.0, meaning they meet exact factory specifications and will fit perfectly without any compatibility issues or concerns about proper fitment.
- M3 x 8mm Size — The M3 x 8mm dimension is a critical specification for fastening various components on your 1/8 scale RC buggy, from chassis parts to drivetrain components, making these screws indispensable for any complete RC racing setup.
- Button Head Profile — The button head design provides a clean, low-profile appearance while offering excellent grip and ease of installation and removal with standard Allen key tools, which are standard in every RC racer's toolkit.
- Quantity Pack of 10 — This 10-pack ensures you have multiple replacement screws available, allowing you to replenish your pit box stock and maintain a complete spare parts inventory without running out during the racing season.
- Factory Track-Tested — Like all TLR 8IGHT-X/E 2.0 parts, these screws have been used and successfully tested by TLR factory drivers under real competition conditions, proving their reliability and durability in demanding race environments.
- Prevents Loose Hardware Issues — Over time, even everyday RC racing causes screws, nuts, washers, and other hardware to loosen, which can compromise vehicle performance and safety; having quality replacements on hand prevents unexpected failures during critical race moments.
Technical Performance
These button head screws represent the kind of precision engineering that Team Losi Racing applies throughout the 8IGHT-X/E 2.0 platform. Whilst they may seem like simple fasteners, their proper specification and quality are fundamental to maintaining the integrity of your 1/8 scale RC buggy. The M3 diameter provides the correct thread engagement for TLR components, while the 8mm length ensures proper fastening without over-extension or insufficient grip. The button head design is superior to traditional hex screws in the RC racing context because it provides a larger contact surface area for the Allen key tool, reducing the risk of stripping the drive and preventing damage during repeated assembly and disassembly cycles that are common during regular maintenance and pit-side repairs. These screws are manufactured to tight tolerances to ensure consistent fitment across your entire buggy, which is critical when assembling precision components on a race-winning platform like the TLR 8IGHT-X/E 2.0.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Why do I need replacement button head screws for my TLR 8IGHT-X/E 2.0? — During RC racing, the constant vibration from engine operation (whether nitro or electric), repeated acceleration and deceleration, and impacts from crashes and landings off jumps cause fasteners to gradually loosen throughout your buggy.
