Key Features

• Genuine Traxxas OEM Parts — These are authentic manufacturer-supplied fasteners engineered to exact Traxxas specifications, ensuring perfect fit and reliability on your RC vehicle every time you need them.
• Countersunk Design — The countersunk head sits flush with the mounting surface, creating a professional finish and preventing snags on body panels or other components that could affect aerodynamics or durability.
• Hex Drive Socket — The hex drive design provides a secure grip that resists stripping and cam-out, giving you reliable fastening power even during aggressive maintenance or repeated use in high-vibration environments.
• M3 Machine Thread — Precision M3 metric threading ensures compatibility with Traxxas mounting points and delivers consistent clamping force without thread damage.
• Pack of Six — Six screws in each pack give you multiple spares, perfect for rebuilding assemblies, replacing lost fasteners, or stocking your maintenance kit for those inevitable track-side repairs.
• Black Finish — The black powder-coated finish matches Traxxas components perfectly and resists corrosion, maintaining appearance and functionality through multiple seasons of RC bashing and racing.

Technical Performance

These Traxxas machine screws represent precision engineering designed specifically for the demands of high-performance RC vehicles. At 3x12mm dimensions with M3 metric threading, they deliver optimal fastening strength for the suspension arms, chassis plates, and body mounting points found across the Traxxas lineup. The countersunk head design ensures that fasteners sit completely flush with mounting surfaces, eliminating any interference with moving parts and maintaining clean aerodynamic profiles. The hex drive socket provides superior grip compared to Phillips or slotted drives, significantly reducing the risk of stripping the screw head during installation or removal — a common frustration when maintaining RC cars in the field. The black finish provides excellent corrosion resistance, which is particularly important if your RC hobby takes you to wet or muddy terrain, or if you're maintaining your vehicle in humid UK conditions. Whether you're maintaining a 1/10 scale short course truck like the Slash HD XL-5, the ultimate 4WD Slash Ultimate, the precision-engineered Ford Fiesta ST Rally, or the heavy-duty TRX-6 hauler, these fasteners deliver the reliability that serious RC enthusiasts demand.
