Key Features
- M4 Size with 30mm Length — These screws are precisely sized at M4 with a 30mm overall length, ensuring they fit perfectly into the specific fastening points on compatible Traxxas vehicles without excessive protrusion or insufficient bite into the threaded hole.
- Countersunk Head Design — The countersunk head profile sits flush with the mounting surface once fully installed, providing a clean aesthetic appearance and eliminating any protruding screw heads that could snag on obstacles, debris or interfere with the vehicle's bodywork and suspension geometry.
- Hex Drive Socket — The hex head drive type allows for secure engagement with standard hex drivers and Allen keys, providing superior torque transfer and reducing the likelihood of slipping or stripping the fastener compared to traditional Phillips or slotted drive types.
- Machine Thread Construction — These are machine screws with precisely rolled threads, designed to create a strong mechanical connection when installed into pre-tapped holes, offering superior holding power under vibration and dynamic stress.
- Black Oxide Finish — The black colour indicates a durable oxide coating that provides corrosion resistance and a professional appearance, essential for outdoor RC operation where exposure to moisture, grass and dirt is inevitable.
- Pack of Six Screws — This convenient six-piece package gives you multiple spare fasteners, allowing you to replace worn, stripped or damaged screws and maintain a stock of spares in your maintenance kit for future repairs and upgrades.
- Genuine Traxxas Manufacture — These are authentic Traxxas replacement parts engineered and quality-checked to the same standards as original equipment, guaranteeing perfect dimensional accuracy and compatibility with Traxxas vehicles.
- Universal Compatibility — Whilst specifically listed as compatible with the Traxxas UDR Unlimited Desert Racer in both Fox Racing and Rigid Industries variants, these M4 machine screws may be suitable for numerous other Traxxas models and compatible RC vehicles using M4 fastening points.
Technical Performance
These Traxxas machine screws are manufactured to exacting engineering tolerances, with the M4 size and 30mm length providing the ideal balance between sufficient thread engagement and overall package dimensions. The machine thread pattern ensures maximum holding strength when installed into properly tapped holes, crucial for maintaining structural integrity during aggressive driving conditions typical of RC off-road vehicles operating on rough terrain across the UK. The hex socket drive provides a mechanical advantage that allows precise torque application without risk of cam-out or stripping, a common problem with Phillips head fasteners in high-vibration applications. The black oxide coating offers reliable protection against corrosion and rust, particularly important given the exposure to moisture, fertilisers and salt on outdoor terrain. The countersunk design ensures the screw sits completely flush with the mounting surface, eliminating any potential for the fastener to catch on terrain, vegetation or suspension components during operation. Each screw in this six-piece package has been individually inspected to maintain the quality standards expected from a premium RC brand, ensuring consistency and reliability across all units in the set.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What Traxxas vehicles are these screws compatible with? — These Traxxas M4x30mm countersunk machine screws are specifically listed as compatible with the Traxxas UDR Unlimited Desert Racer Pro-Scale 4WD RTR Short Course Truck in both Fox Racing and Rigid Industries variants. However, they may also be suitable for other Traxxas models that use M4 fastening points; if you are unsure whether these screws will fit your specific vehicle, please contact our knowledgeable team at RC Model Shop before ordering.
- Why would I need replacement screws for my RC car? — During regular operation of RC vehicles, fasteners can become loose due to vibration, may be stripped if over-tightened, can be lost during crashes or terrain negotiation, or may suffer corrosion and degradation from exposure to moisture and outdoor conditions. Having spare M4x30mm countersunk screws ensures you can quickly perform repairs and maintenance without waiting for replacement parts, keeping your RC vehicle in the field and maximising your running time.
- What is the difference between machine screws and wood screws? — Machine screws like these TRX2533 fasteners are designed to work with pre-tapped holes with matching threads, offering superior holding power and precision in engineered applications. Wood screws have a tapered point and create their own thread path, making them unsuitable for use in metal or plastic RC vehicle components where precise mechanical connections are essential.
- Can I use these screws for other RC vehicles? — Whilst these are Traxxas-manufactured fasteners optimised for Traxxas vehicles, M4x30mm countersunk machine screws may be compatible with other RC brands that use similar fastening specifications. However, we always recommend verifying compatibility with your specific vehicle documentation or contacting our team for guidance, as using incorrect fasteners could damage your RC model or compromise safety.
- What does hex drive mean? — The hex drive refers to the hexagonal socket in the screw head, designed to receive a matching hex key or Allen key tool. This drive type provides excellent grip and torque control, reducing the risk of stripping or damaging the fastener during installation and removal compared to Phillips or slotted head alternatives.
- Are these suitable for beginners? — Absolutely. These replacement screws are an ideal addition to any beginner's RC maintenance kit. Learning how to properly remove and install fasteners is a fundamental skill for RC car ownership, and having quality spare parts like these Traxxas screws ensures you can practice maintenance safely without concerns about compatibility issues.
- How many screws come in this pack? — This package contains six M4x30mm countersunk machine screws, providing multiple spares to cover repairs, replacements and future maintenance needs without requiring frequent reordering.
