Key Features
- Assorted Machine and Self-Tapping Screws — This set includes both machine screws and self-tapping screws, giving you the versatility to handle different fastening requirements across your Sledgehammer, from pre-drilled holes to areas where the screw must create its own thread path.
- Genuine Traxxas Component — As an official Traxxas replacement part, this screw set is engineered to the same exacting standards as your vehicle, ensuring perfect fit, proper thread pitch, and reliable performance without the risk of damage to mounting points.
- No Nuts Included — This set focuses on screws only, keeping the package focused and cost-effective, ideal for owners who need replacement fasteners for typical Sledgehammer maintenance and repair applications.
- Comprehensive Coverage — The assorted design means you get a variety of screw sizes and types in one set, covering multiple areas of your RC truck so you're prepared for different repair scenarios without needing to purchase multiple individual packs.
- Essential Maintenance Tool — Regular RC enthusiasts and bashers know that fasteners are wear items; having a dedicated Traxxas screw set means you're always ready for quick repairs between driving sessions or after crashes.
Technical Performance
The Traxxas Screw Set TRX1845 is engineered with the precision and reliability that Traxxas is known for throughout the RC hobby in the UK and worldwide. The set comprises an assortment of machine screws and self-tapping screws, each manufactured to strict tolerances to ensure they fit precisely into the mounting points of your Sledgehammer monster truck. Machine screws are designed for use in pre-drilled and pre-threaded holes, providing a secure, repeatable fastening solution that won't strip threads over multiple assembly and disassembly cycles. Self-tapping screws, on the other hand, are engineered to cut their own thread path as they are driven into softer materials or into holes without pre-existing threads, making them ideal for securing components where traditional threaded inserts may not be practical. The variety of screw sizes included in this assorted set ensures that whether you're performing routine maintenance on your Sledgehammer or undertaking repairs after a hard bash session, you'll have the correct fastener for the job. Quality fasteners are critical to maintaining the structural integrity of your RC truck, preventing rattles, ensuring components stay in place during aggressive driving, and maintaining the precise geometry that contributes to the vehicle's handling and performance characteristics.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Is the Traxxas Screw Set TRX1845 compatible with my Sledgehammer? — Yes, this is a genuine Traxxas replacement part specifically designed for the Sledgehammer monster truck. It provides the fasteners you need for assembly, maintenance, and repair of your vehicle.
- Why do I need a dedicated screw set for my RC truck? — Over the course of regular use, whether you're racing or bashing, fasteners can become loose, stripped, or lost entirely. Having a genuine Traxxas screw set ensures you always have quality replacement fasteners on hand that are engineered to fit properly and perform reliably, maintaining the structural integrity and performance of your Sledgehammer.
- What's the difference between the machine and self-tapping screws in this set? — Machine screws are designed for use in pre-drilled and pre-threaded holes, where they thread into existing threads for a secure hold. Self-tapping screws cut their own thread path as they're driven in, making them suitable for softer materials or holes without pre-existing threads, providing fastening flexibility across different areas of your truck.
- How often will I need to replace screws on my Sledgehammer? — The frequency depends on how intensively you use your truck. Casual weekend drivers may only occasionally need replacements, whilst competitive racers and aggressive bashers may go through fasteners more regularly due to the additional stress placed on the vehicle during hard driving and impacts.
- Can I use generic hardware store screws instead? — Whilst generic screws might initially fit, Traxxas screws are engineered to exact specifications for your Sledgehammer, ensuring proper fit, thread pitch, and material properties. Using genuine parts guarantees reliability and prevents potential damage to mounting points that could occur with ill-fitting fasteners.
