Overview
The ARRMA Double Socket Button Head Screw M4x16mm (10) is an essential replacement part for RC enthusiasts maintaining their ARRMA models. Whether you're a dedicated competitor, weekend basher, or simply exploring the world of RC cars and trucks in the UK, having quality replacement fasteners on hand is crucial for keeping your vehicle in peak condition. These precision-engineered screws are specifically designed to meet ARRMA's exacting standards, ensuring reliable performance and longevity across a range of RC applications.
Double socket button head screws are a specialised type of fastening hardware that combine durability with ease of installation and removal. Unlike standard screws, the double socket design allows for superior grip and control when tightening or loosening, making maintenance and tuning of your RC model far more straightforward. The M4x16mm specification means these screws are perfectly sized for critical assembly points on many ARRMA RC vehicles, from high-performance 4WD buggies to rock-crawling trucks and desert runners.
Sourcing genuine ARRMA replacement parts ensures compatibility, fit and finish that aftermarket alternatives simply cannot match. This pack contains 10 individual screws, providing you with spare capacity for repairs, upgrades or simply replenishing your workshop stock. For anyone serious about RC car maintenance in the UK, building spare parts inventory is a smart investment in uninterrupted hobby time.
Key Features
- Double Socket Design — The dual socket configuration provides enhanced grip and control when installing or removing the screw, making it significantly easier to work with compared to standard single-socket fasteners, particularly useful during chassis assembly or disassembly on your RC model.
- M4 x 16mm Specification — This precise size is engineered to fit critical connection points on compatible ARRMA RC vehicles, ensuring secure fastening without over-tightening or cross-threading issues that could damage your model.
- Button Head Profile — The recessed button head design minimises interference with surrounding components, allowing for tighter assembly on RC vehicles where clearance is at a premium, whilst maintaining structural integrity and visual appeal.
- Machine Thread Construction — Unlike wood screws or self-tapping fasteners, machine threads require a pre-drilled or threaded hole, ensuring consistent engagement and preventing stripped threads that could compromise assembly reliability.
- Black Finish — The black colour provides both aesthetic appeal and corrosion resistance, essential for RC vehicles that may encounter moisture, dust or challenging outdoor conditions during off-road adventures.
- Genuine ARRMA Hardware — As authentic OEM parts, these screws meet ARRMA's quality specifications and engineering tolerances, guaranteeing proper fit, function and compatibility with your specific RC model without guesswork or compatibility issues.
- Pack of 10 — With ten screws included, you have sufficient quantity for replacement, repair and maintenance tasks, plus spares for future upkeep of your RC collection without needing to reorder frequently.
Technical Performance
The ARRMA Double Socket Button Head Screw M4x16mm represents precision engineering optimised for RC applications where reliability and performance matter. The M4 diameter provides an ideal balance between holding power and weight, critical factors in RC vehicle design where every gram affects performance and handling. At 16mm in length, these screws penetrate deep enough to provide solid mechanical engagement without protruding excessively through assembled components, a key consideration when assembling chassis plates, suspension brackets and body mounts on competitive RC buggies, trucks and crawlers. The machine thread pattern requires precision preparation of receiving holes, which actually provides superior holding strength compared to self-tapping alternatives, as the threads distribute load more evenly throughout the engagement area. The double socket head design incorporates two distinct hex sockets within the button head profile, allowing you to select the appropriate hex key size for your specific assembly task, providing versatility that standard single-socket screws cannot offer. Black finish coating provides both visual consistency with ARRMA's design language and practical corrosion resistance, an important feature for RC vehicles that face exposure to moisture, salt spray, mud and dirt during outdoor bashing sessions. Whether you're performing mid-season maintenance on a high-performance 4WD RC buggy or rebuilding a rock-crawling truck after a challenging course, these genuine ARRMA fasteners deliver the reliability and performance you've come to expect from the brand.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What ARRMA RC models are compatible with these M4x16mm screws? — These screws are confirmed compatible with the ARRMA 1/8 MOJAVE 4X4 4S BLX Desert Truck RTR in both blue and white colour options, though they may also be suitable for other ARRMA models utilising M4 fastening points. We recommend checking your specific vehicle manual or contacting our team for compatibility confirmation before ordering.
- What makes double socket button head screws better than standard screws? — The dual socket design provides superior grip and control when tightening or removing fasteners, reducing the risk of hex key slippage, stripped sockets or damage to the fastener itself. This makes assembly, disassembly and maintenance of your RC model significantly easier and more reliable, particularly if you frequently tune or repair your vehicle.
- Do I need any special tools to install these screws? — You will need appropriate hex keys or hex sockets to fit the double socket configuration. These are commonly available in most RC tool kits, though the specific size will depend on the socket configuration of these particular fasteners, which is best confirmed by checking the screw directly or consulting ARRMA's documentation.
- Why should I choose genuine ARRMA parts instead of generic fasteners? — Genuine OEM parts guarantee proper fit, finish, material specification and engineering tolerances that match your ARRMA vehicle's original design. Generic fasteners may have slightly different dimensions, materials or coatings that could lead to poor fit, premature wear, or thread stripping. Investing in authentic ARRMA hardware protects your investment and ensures reliable performance.
- How many screws come in this pack and is it enough for my needs? — This pack contains 10 individual screws, providing sufficient quantity for standard maintenance, repairs and replacement of worn fasteners on compatible ARRMA models. If you regularly race or bash competitively, building spare parts inventory is highly recommended, as fasteners can wear, strip or become lost during intensive use.
