Key Features
- Self-Tapping Design — The self-tapping thread construction means these screws cut their own thread path as they are installed, creating a secure grip that holds tight under the extreme vibrations and impacts experienced during RC driving, without requiring pre-drilled holes or threaded inserts.
- Pozi Driver Type — The Pozidriv (Pozi) drive system provides superior grip compared to standard Phillips heads, reducing the risk of cam-out and stripping during installation or removal, which is essential when working with precision RC components.
- Pack of Eight — This convenient pack includes 8 screws, giving you enough fasteners to replace wheels on most RC vehicles with plenty of spares left over for future maintenance or emergency repairs during racing events.
- Black Finish — The black coating provides both aesthetic appeal and protection against corrosion, ensuring the screws maintain their integrity even when exposed to outdoor conditions, moisture and the rigours of regular RC use.
- Universal Compatibility — These wheel lock screws are compatible with numerous FTX models including the Tracer Monster Truck range, Tracer Truggy variants, Havok Drift Truck and Havok Drift Roadster, plus BlackZon Slyder Monster Trucks and Stadium Trucks, making them an excellent multi-model spare.
Technical Performance
The FTX Tracer Wheel Lock Screws represent precision engineering designed specifically for the demands of modern RC vehicles. With their self-tapping thread construction and Pozi driver specification, these fasteners are engineered to withstand the continuous vibration, lateral forces and impact stresses that occur during aggressive RC driving. The black finish provides not only a professional appearance but also corrosion resistance, ensuring longevity in varied environmental conditions. Whether you're running your FTX Tracer 1/16 Monster Truck or Truggy through muddy terrain, sandy deserts or tarmac surfaces, these screws maintain their structural integrity and holding power. The Pozidriv drive system is particularly important for RC applications where repeated fastening and unfastening is common during maintenance and repairs — the enhanced grip reduces damage to the screw head and ensures consistent performance across multiple installation cycles. For drivers of FTX Havok Drift Trucks, Havok Drift Roadsters, and BlackZon Slyder vehicles, these screws offer the same level of reliability and precision that characterises professional-grade RC components.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What vehicles are these wheel lock screws compatible with? — These FTX wheel lock screws are specifically engineered for FTX Tracer models including the 1/16 Monster Truck and Truggy variants in all colours (Orange, Red, Blue, Yellow, Green), as well as FTX Havok Drift Truck and Havok Drift Roadster models. They are also compatible with BlackZon Slyder vehicles including the MT Monster Truck and ST Stadium Truck models, plus the newer Slyder MT Turbo and Slyder ST Turbo brushless variants. This broad compatibility makes them an ideal spare for multi-model RC enthusiasts.
- Are these self-tapping screws or do I need pre-drilled holes? — These are self-tapping screws, meaning they cut their own thread as they are driven into the material, so you do not require pre-threaded holes or inserts. This makes installation quick and convenient for maintenance and repairs during RC sessions.
- What is the Pozi drive type and why does it matter? — Pozi (Pozidriv) is an advanced screw drive system that provides superior grip compared to standard Phillips heads. This design is particularly important for RC components because it reduces the likelihood of the screwdriver slipping and stripping the screw head, ensuring reliable fastening and unfastening during frequent maintenance work on your RC vehicle.
- How many screws do I get in this pack? — This pack contains 8 wheel lock screws, providing enough fasteners to secure the wheels on most RC vehicles with additional spares available for emergency repairs or future replacements.
- Will these screws rust or corrode? — The black finish applied to these screws provides corrosion resistance, helping them maintain their integrity when exposed to outdoor conditions, moisture and the general wear and tear of regular RC use. This finish ensures long-term reliability and appearance.
- Can I use these screws on other RC brands? — These screws are specifically designed for FTX and compatible BlackZon vehicles. While the specifications are standard self-tapping fasteners, we recommend using manufacturer-approved components to ensure perfect fit and performance. For other RC brands, consult your vehicle's manual or contact the manufacturer for compatible part numbers.
