These countersunk hex drive screws are specifically engineered to Traxxas specifications, ensuring perfect compatibility with your RC vehicle and delivering the secure fastening that RC models demand during high-speed operation and intense off-road use.
As a spare part, the TRX2551 represents genuine Traxxas engineering and quality assurance. RC car maintenance doesn't need to be complicated, but it does need to be done right—using the correct replacement parts ensures your vehicle performs reliably, lap after lap, bash after bash. These machine screws feature a countersunk head design that sits flush with mounting surfaces, creating a clean, aerodynamic profile whilst maintaining secure fastening through their hex drive mechanism. For anyone serious about their RC hobby, whether you're running a brushless RC buggy, a high-performance truck, or any other Traxxas model, maintaining a stock of genuine spare parts like these screws is a smart investment in your equipment's longevity and performance.
Key Features
- Countersunk Head Design — The countersunk profile ensures these screws sit completely flush with mounting surfaces, creating a seamless fit that reduces aerodynamic drag and protects the screw head from damage during aggressive RC driving.
- Hex Drive Mechanism — The hex driver socket provides superior grip and control compared to slot or Phillips head alternatives, reducing the risk of stripped screw heads during installation or removal and ensuring a more reliable fastening experience.
- Machine Thread Type — Machine threads are specifically designed for fastening into threaded holes rather than self-tapping into material, offering greater precision and repeatability across multiple installation and removal cycles without degrading the thread.
- M3 Size Specification — The M3 metric sizing ensures compatibility with Traxxas models engineered to this specification, providing the exact fastening solution your RC vehicle was designed to use.
- 10mm Length — The 10mm length is precisely calculated to penetrate through mounting components and engage the threaded insert without bottoming out, maintaining proper clamping force and structural integrity.
- Black Finish — The black coating not only provides an aesthetically finished appearance on your RC model but also offers corrosion resistance to help these screws withstand the moisture, dirt, and chemicals encountered during outdoor RC play.
- Pack of Six — Six screws per pack gives you multiple replacement fasteners, allowing you to repair multiple mounting points or keep spares on hand for your next maintenance session without needing to reorder immediately.
Technical Performance
Traxxas screws are manufactured to precise engineering tolerances that reflect decades of RC vehicle design experience. The 3x10mm countersunk machine screw represents a critical fastening component in modern RC vehicle design, where vibration, impact loads, and repeated stress cycles demand absolute reliability. The hex drive socket design creates a substantially larger contact area than traditional Phillips or slot drives, distributing force more evenly and dramatically reducing the likelihood of fastener failure through rounding or stripping. Machine threads, as opposed to self-tapping alternatives, maintain consistent thread pitch and engagement depth, ensuring that repeated installation and removal cycles don't gradually degrade the fastening integrity. The black finish applied to these screws provides not just visual consistency with your RC model but genuine protective value—RC vehicles encounter mud, water, grass, gravel, and various environmental contaminants during typical UK outdoor use, and the black coating helps resist corrosion and rust formation that could compromise fastening reliability. For competitive racers running precision-tuned vehicles, and for recreational bashers who demand worry-free performance, genuine Traxxas spare parts ensure your vehicle remains in optimal condition. The countersunk design is particularly important in RC applications where aerodynamics matter and where protruding fastener heads could catch debris or create turbulence affecting handling characteristics.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What Traxxas models use 3x10mm countersunk machine screws? — These screws are used across numerous Traxxas RC vehicle models where M3 metric fastening is specified in the vehicle design. Check your Traxxas model's parts list or manual to confirm compatibility with your specific vehicle.
- Why should I use genuine Traxxas spare screws instead of generic alternatives? — Genuine Traxxas screws are engineered to exact specifications matching your RC vehicle's design tolerances. Using non-genuine fasteners risks improper fitment, inadequate thread engagement, or fastening failure under the stress and vibration conditions RC vehicles experience during operation.
- Are these screws suitable for RC car maintenance by beginners? — Absolutely. These are straightforward spare parts perfect for anyone learning RC vehicle maintenance. The hex drive design makes installation easier than slot or Phillips alternatives, and having quality replacement fasteners on hand is essential for any RC enthusiast, regardless of experience level.
- How many screws come in one pack? — Each pack contains 6 individual screws, providing you with multiple fasteners for repairs or maintenance across different mounting points on your RC vehicle, or spare screws for future use.
- What makes the countersunk design important for RC vehicles? — The countersunk profile allows screw heads to sit completely flush with mounting surfaces, eliminating protruding fastener heads that could catch debris, compromise aerodynamics, or become damaged during aggressive RC driving across rough terrain.
- Can I reuse these screws multiple times? — Machine thread screws can be reinstalled multiple times if handled carefully, though the black coating may gradually wear from repeated fastening and unfastening cycles. Always inspect threads before reinstalling to ensure they remain clean and undamaged.
