Key Features
- Strong Steel Material — These cap head screws are manufactured from durable steel that provides long-lasting strength and reliability, ensuring they won't fail under the stresses of RC driving and repeated maintenance cycles. Steel construction means these fasteners maintain their integrity through countless assembly and disassembly operations.
- Precision Manufactured Threads — Each screw features precisely engineered metric threads that ensure a perfect fit every time, making installation quick and straightforward during maintenance or repairs. Precision threading eliminates the frustration of cross-threading or loose connections that can cause component failure.
- Cap Head Hex Configuration — The cap head design with hex socket provides a secure grip and clean appearance, while the hex driver type allows for consistent torque application using standard RC maintenance tools. This configuration is the professional choice for RC vehicle assembly and disassembly.
- M2 x 8mm Metric Specification — The M2 diameter with 8mm thread length is specifically designed for ARRMA vehicles and numerous other RC applications, offering compatibility across a wide range of models. The metric sizing ensures precise fit and function where it matters most.
- Pack of 10 Spare Screws — Bagged in multiples of 10, you'll always have replacement fasteners ready without needing to order singles or wait for supplies. This quantity is ideal for routine maintenance, emergency repairs, or building up a comprehensive spare parts inventory.
- Machine Thread Type — The machine thread design is engineered for use in pre-drilled holes with threaded inserts or metal components, providing reliable holding power in demanding RC applications where vibration and impact are constant factors.
Technical Performance
The ARRMA M2x8mm Cap Head Screw represents the kind of attention to detail that separates quality RC products from inferior alternatives. These aren't generic fasteners — they're precision components engineered specifically for the demands of high-performance RC vehicles. The steel construction provides exceptional durability, resisting corrosion and maintaining dimensional stability through countless installation cycles. The precision-manufactured threads ensure that whether you're assembling a new model, performing routine maintenance on your RC buggy, or making mid-race adjustments to your RC car, the screws will install smoothly and hold securely. The M2 diameter is optimal for smaller mechanical assemblies common in 1/8 and smaller scale RC vehicles, whilst the 8mm thread length provides adequate engagement without over-penetration or stress concentration. The cap head design, combined with the hex socket configuration, allows for controlled torque application — critical when working with delicate RC components where over-tightening can cause damage. For anyone maintaining ARRMA vehicles or compatible RC models, these screws deliver the reliability and precision you've come to expect from professional-grade fasteners. Whether you're maintaining a brushless 1/8 scale buggy, working on spare parts inventory, or simply keeping your RC collection in optimal condition, these cap head screws are engineered for performance and durability.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What size are these cap head screws and will they fit my ARRMA RC vehicle? — These are M2x8mm metric cap head screws, meaning they have a 2mm diameter with an 8mm thread length. They are confirmed compatible with ARRMA TYPHON 223S BLX and TYPHON MEGA 665 4X4 models. Before purchasing, verify that your specific RC model uses M2x8mm fasteners, as different ARRMA vehicles may use various sizes. If you're unsure about compatibility, checking your vehicle manual or contacting RC Model Shop's expert team is recommended.
- Why should I buy spare screws before I need them? — Having spare cap head screws on hand is essential for RC vehicle ownership. During maintenance, screws can be lost, stripped, or damaged, and having replacements immediately available minimises downtime. A pack of 10 is ideal for building a maintenance kit so you're never caught without the fasteners you need for repairs or upgrades. Many experienced RC drivers keep multiple packs of common sizes as part of their standard toolkit.
- Are these steel screws prone to rust or corrosion? — These cap head screws are manufactured from steel, which provides excellent strength and durability. However, steel can experience corrosion if exposed to moisture over extended periods. For RC vehicles used in wet conditions or stored in humid environments, regular inspection and occasional light maintenance is recommended. The screws are bagged for protection during storage, helping preserve their condition until use.
- What tools do I need to install these cap head screws? — The hex socket cap head design requires a hex key (Allen key) or hex bit driver for installation. Standard RC maintenance tool kits typically include the required hex key sizes. The cap head configuration allows you to apply controlled torque — tighten firmly but avoid over-tightening, which could damage your RC vehicle's components.
- Can I use these screws on other brands of RC vehicles? — These are metric M2x8mm cap head screws, so they will fit any RC vehicle designed to use fasteners of this specification, including models from various manufacturers. However, compatibility depends on your specific model having M2x8mm holes or threaded inserts. Consult your vehicle documentation or contact our RC Model Shop team to confirm compatibility with your particular RC car, buggy, or truck before ordering.
- How many screws come in a pack and is that enough? — Each pack contains 10 M2x8mm cap head screws. For routine maintenance, this quantity should be sufficient for multiple service intervals. If you perform frequent maintenance or repairs, or maintain multiple RC vehicles, you may want to stock several packs to ensure you never run short of this essential fastener size.
