Overview
The Traxxas Head screws, 3x15mm cap-head machine (hex drive) (6 pcs) (TRX 2.5) TRX2586 are precision-engineered fasteners designed specifically for Traxxas RC models. These replacement screws are an essential part of any RC enthusiast's spare parts collection, whether you're maintaining your brushless RC truck, competitive RC car, or weekend basher. Cap-head machine screws with hex drive are a critical component in RC model assembly and repair, allowing secure fastening of various chassis and body components. If you own multiple Traxxas RC vehicles—from short course trucks to monster trucks—having a stock of these genuine OEM screws ensures you can perform quick repairs and maintenance without interruption to your RC hobby.
These M3 machine screws come as a set of six pieces, making them ideal for maintenance, replacement, or repair work on compatible Traxxas models. The hex drive design means you can use standard hex Allen keys for installation and removal, providing reliable grip without the risk of stripping the screw head like you might experience with other fastener types. Whether you're a serious RC competitor looking to maintain your vehicle to race specifications, or a casual UK RC hobbyist who enjoys bashing at weekends, having genuine Traxxas replacement parts ensures your model performs as intended and maintains its structural integrity through countless hours of action-packed fun.
Available in black finish, these cap-head screws integrate seamlessly with Traxxas RC models and are compatible with numerous vehicles in the Traxxas lineup, including the incredibly popular Slash series, Sledge monster trucks, Ford Fiesta ST Rally cars, X-Maxx and X-Maxx Ultimate belted 4WD monsters, and the legendary UDR Unlimited Desert Racer. When you invest in genuine Traxxas parts from an authorised UK retailer, you're ensuring your RC model receives the quality components it was designed for.
Key Features
- M3 Metric Thread Size — These screws use the standard M3 metric specification, ensuring perfect compatibility with the vast majority of Traxxas RC models and allowing easy sourcing of compatible components across the global RC community.
- 15mm Length — The 15mm length is precisely engineered to reach through multiple chassis layers and body panels without protruding excessively, providing secure fastening without interference with moving components.
- Cap-Head Design — The distinctive cap-head profile provides superior grip contact and distributes load more effectively than traditional fasteners, reducing the risk of fastener failure during high-stress impacts or aggressive driving.
- Hex Drive Socket — The integrated hex drive allows you to use standard hex Allen keys (also called hex keys or hex drivers) for installation and removal, providing secure grip that prevents the common problem of fastener head damage or stripping that can occur with other drive types.
- Black Finish — The black powder-coated or anodised finish resists corrosion and weathering, maintaining appearance and functionality even when used in damp conditions typical of UK RC tracks and outdoor bashing environments.
- Set of Six Pieces — Supplied as a pack of six screws, giving you multiple replacements or allowing you to perform more extensive repairs and maintenance work without needing to purchase multiple packages.
- Genuine Traxxas OEM Parts — These are authentic original equipment manufacturer parts from Traxxas, ensuring they meet the exact specifications and quality standards that Traxxas engineers designed into every model.
Technical Performance
These cap-head machine screws represent the kind of precision engineering that makes Traxxas RC models some of the most reliable and maintainable vehicles in the hobby. The M3 metric thread specification means the screws have a 3mm diameter shaft with precise threading that ensures secure fastening without stripping, even after repeated removal and reinstallation. The 15mm overall length is engineered to work across the typical thickness of Traxxas chassis decks, suspension brackets, body posts, and mounting plates without creating sharp protrusions that could catch during crashes or impact the performance of moving parts. The cap-head design—sometimes called socket head or socket cap—provides a larger bearing surface than standard fasteners, which means the force exerted during tightening is distributed across a wider area, reducing the risk of pulling through plastic mounting points or damaging composite materials used in modern RC chassis construction. The hex drive (also known as an Allen drive or hex socket) provides superior grip compared to Phillips or slot-drive alternatives, meaning you can apply proper torque without risk of the driver slipping out and stripping the screw head. When properly installed, these screws create vibration-resistant connections that remain tight even during the intense acceleration, braking, and cornering forces experienced by RC vehicles during high-speed running. The black finish is applied using industrial-grade corrosion protection, making these screws suitable for use in wet conditions common in the UK, whether you're running your RC car or truck on damp grass, muddy tracks, or even after washing your model.
