Overview
The Traxxas Screws 2.5x12mm countersunk machine screws with hex drive are essential spare parts for RC car enthusiasts and serious hobbyists across the UK. Whether you're maintaining a high-performance brushless RC car, a ready-to-run RC buggy, or any Traxxas model that uses these fasteners, having a reliable supply of OEM replacement screws is crucial for keeping your RC vehicle in top condition. These genuine Traxxas components ensure perfect compatibility and reliability, eliminating the frustration of using inferior aftermarket alternatives that may not fit correctly or hold securely.
RC car maintenance is an ongoing responsibility for anyone who takes their hobby seriously. Whether you're a weekend basher pushing your RC monster truck to its limits or a competitive racer fine-tuning your RC short course truck for maximum performance, fasteners play a vital role in keeping everything secure and functioning properly. The Traxxas TRX2526 screw set provides you with six precision-engineered countersunk machine screws that are purpose-built to withstand the rigours of RC driving, from high-speed track sessions to aggressive off-road bashing.
For RC car enthusiasts across the UK seeking genuine OEM components, the choice is clear. These screws are manufactured to Traxxas's exacting standards and are the exact same fasteners used in factory-built Traxxas vehicles. By stocking these spare parts in your workshop, you'll always be prepared for maintenance, repairs, or modifications without having to wait for delivery or worry about compatibility issues that plague generic fasteners.
Key Features
- 2.5mm Diameter — These screws feature a precise 2.5mm diameter that matches the threaded holes found on countless Traxxas RC vehicle models, ensuring perfect fitment without any need for adaptation or modification.
- 12mm Length — The 12mm length is specifically engineered to provide secure fastening depth without protruding excessively, making these screws ideal for panel fastening, suspension components, and electronics retention throughout your RC model.
- Countersunk Head Design — The countersunk profile sits flush with the surface of components, creating a clean, professional appearance whilst eliminating the risk of the screw head catching on other parts during operation or transportation.
- Hex Drive Socket — The hex drive (also called Allen key head) provides superior torque application and reduces the risk of stripping the screw head, which is far superior to traditional Phillips or slot-head alternatives commonly found in lower-quality fasteners.
- Machine Thread Configuration — These are machine screws with machine thread, meaning they work with pre-drilled threaded holes rather than cutting their own thread, ensuring precise and repeatable fastening every time you use them.
- Set of Six Pieces — This convenient pack contains six individual screws, providing you with multiple spares to cover different maintenance and repair needs without requiring multiple purchases.
- Genuine Traxxas OEM Component — As official Traxxas parts, these screws are manufactured to the exact same specifications and quality standards as those found on new Traxxas RC vehicles fresh from the factory.
Technical Performance
The Traxxas 2.5x12mm countersunk machine screws represent precision engineering at its finest. Manufactured from high-strength steel, these fasteners are engineered to withstand the demanding forces experienced during RC vehicle operation. The precise 2.5mm diameter and 12mm length combination has been carefully selected by Traxxas engineers to provide optimal holding power without adding unnecessary weight to your RC car. The countersunk head design means these screws sit flush with your RC model's surfaces, which is particularly important when securing body panels, electronic components, or suspension elements where protrusions could interfere with aerodynamics, component clearance, or overall vehicle performance. The hex drive socket design is significantly more durable than traditional screw head types, reducing the likelihood of stripping during installation or removal—a critical consideration when working on valuable RC equipment. Whether you're working on a Traxxas RC truck, buggy, truggy, or any other model in the Traxxas range, these OEM components deliver the reliability and precision that serious RC enthusiasts demand. The machine thread specification ensures these screws work seamlessly with the threaded inserts found throughout genuine Traxxas vehicles, creating a rock-solid connection that maintains integrity even during aggressive driving sessions or high-speed racing.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Are these Traxxas screws genuine OEM parts? — Yes, these are official Traxxas original equipment manufacturer (OEM) components. They are manufactured to the exact same specifications and quality standards as the fasteners supplied with new Traxxas RC vehicles, ensuring perfect compatibility and reliability with your RC model.
- What Traxxas models use 2.5x12mm countersunk machine screws? — These fasteners are used across the full range of Traxxas RC vehicles including RC monster trucks, RC buggies, RC truggy models, and various other Traxxas platforms. If your RC vehicle has threaded holes accepting 2.5mm hex drive countersunk screws, these components will be compatible.
- Why should I choose these over generic fasteners? — Genuine Traxxas screws guarantee perfect fitment and material specifications. Generic fasteners may use inferior steel, have slightly different dimensions, or feature lower-quality hex sockets that strip easily. With OEM components, you eliminate compatibility concerns and ensure your RC vehicle maintains factory integrity.
- How many screws come in this pack? — This pack contains six individual 2.5x12mm countersunk machine screws, providing multiple spares for different maintenance tasks or repairs across your RC fleet.
- What type of hex key do I need to install these? — These hex drive screws require a 1.5mm hex key (Allen key) or hex driver. Most RC enthusiasts have these common hex key sizes in their workshop toolkit.
- Can I reuse these screws multiple times? — Yes, provided the hex drive socket and threads remain in good condition, these machine screws can be removed and reinstalled multiple times. However, if you notice the hex socket becoming stripped or the screw head becoming damaged, replacement is recommended to maintain proper fastening integrity.
- Are these screws waterproof? — While the screws themselves are steel, water resistance depends on how they're used in your vehicle assembly. For optimal protection of electronic components and motor bearings, ensure screws are properly torqued and consider using threadlocker compound if your RC vehicle is exposed to water during operation.
