Overview
The Traxxas Screw pin, 4x18mm (with threadlock) (6) TRX9578 is an essential maintenance and repair component for RC enthusiasts across the UK who rely on quality spare parts to keep their RC models running smoothly. Whether you're a competitive racer, a weekend basher, or someone who enjoys the precision of RC car UK hobby building, having the right fasteners in your toolbox is crucial for reliable performance and longevity. These premium screw pins come pre-treated with threadlock, ensuring that your RC vehicle's critical connections remain secure during intense driving sessions.
Traxxas is renowned for manufacturing precision-engineered components that meet the demanding requirements of RC racing and recreational driving. These 4x18mm screw pins with hex-drive heads represent the quality and reliability you expect from one of the world's leading RC vehicle manufacturers. The inclusion of pre-applied threadlock means you're getting a ready-to-use solution that eliminates the need for separate threadlock compound, saving you time and effort during maintenance or assembly work on your brushless RC vehicles or any RC car designed to accept these pins.
For anyone maintaining a collection of RC models, whether you're running brushless RC buggies, monster trucks, or other Traxxas vehicles, these screw pins are a must-have spare part. The threadlock feature prevents vibration-induced loosening, which can lead to stripped fasteners, bent pins, or worse—parts separating during high-speed runs. Keeping a stock of these quality fasteners ensures you're always ready for the next race day or casual driving session with your RC car or truck.
Key Features
- 4x18mm Dimension Specification — These screw pins are precisely sized at 4mm diameter by 18mm length, making them compatible with a wide range of Traxxas RC vehicles and models designed to accept this standard fastener size, ensuring perfect fitment every time.
- Hex-Drive Head Design — The hex-drive heads provide secure engagement with standard hex drivers and socket tools, allowing you to install and remove these pins with confidence and without risk of stripping the drive feature.
- Pre-Applied Threadlock Treatment — Each screw pin comes with threadlock already applied, meaning the connection will resist vibration and movement during aggressive driving, preventing the frustration of loose fasteners that can compromise your RC vehicle's integrity and performance.
- Set of Six Pins — This pack contains six complete screw pins, giving you enough fasteners for multiple repairs, replacements, or to stock your spare parts box for future maintenance needs on your RC hobby equipment.
- OEM Traxxas Quality — As genuine Traxxas components, these screw pins meet the same rigorous quality standards used in Traxxas RC cars and trucks, ensuring compatibility and reliability across the entire Traxxas product ecosystem.
Technical Performance
The Traxxas Screw pin, 4x18mm (with threadlock) (6) represents precision engineering in fastener design. These pins are manufactured to exacting tolerances to ensure they fit perfectly in the threaded holes of Traxxas RC vehicles. The 4mm diameter provides substantial holding power while remaining lightweight, which is essential for maintaining the performance characteristics of brushless RC buggies, monster trucks, and other high-performance vehicles. The hex-drive head design allows for efficient tightening and removal using standard hobby tools, making routine maintenance accessible to RC enthusiasts of all experience levels. The pre-applied threadlock is a polymer-based compound that cures at room temperature, preventing fastener loosening due to vibration without requiring heat or special tools for eventual removal should you need to service your RC model. The threadlock treatment is particularly valuable in RC applications where constant vibration and shock loads are encountered during normal operation, whether you're driving a ready to run RC vehicle casually or competing at high speeds in organised RC racing events.
