Overview
The Traxxas Screws, 3x6mm cap-head machine (hex drive) (6 pcs) TRX2554 are essential replacement fasteners for RC car enthusiasts across the UK. Whether you're maintaining your Traxxas Ford Fiesta ST Rally, Slash Ultimate, or Slash HD XL-5 short course truck, having quality replacement screws on hand is crucial for keeping your RC car running smoothly. These genuine Traxxas parts are engineered to the exact specifications your vehicle needs, ensuring reliable performance and durability during both casual bashing and competitive racing.
As an RC hobbyist in the UK, you understand that the smallest components often make the biggest difference in vehicle reliability and longevity. These 3x6mm cap-head machine screws with hex drive heads are precision-engineered fasteners that hold critical components together on some of Traxxas's most popular RC models. Whether you're upgrading suspension components, reattaching body panels, or performing routine maintenance on your ready to run RC vehicle, having a pack of quality replacement screws ensures you're never left stranded at the track or bashing spot.
Traxxas has built its reputation on manufacturing consistently high-quality RC cars and components that deliver exceptional performance for hobbyists ranging from complete beginners to experienced competitors. These replacement screws are no exception, manufactured to the same rigorous standards that make Traxxas vehicles so reliable. With a set of six screws in each pack, you'll have spares readily available for maintenance, repairs, or customisation work on your RC collection.
Key Features
- M3 Machine Thread Size — These screws feature a precise M3 (3mm) diameter specification, ensuring perfect fit and compatibility with Traxxas suspension components, body mounts, and structural fastening points across multiple models. This standardised sizing is critical for maintaining proper assembly and preventing loose components during high-speed driving or aggressive off-road bashing.
- 6mm Cap Head Length — The 6mm length is specifically engineered for Traxxas suspension geometry, body mounting systems, and internal chassis components, providing the exact fastening depth required without protruding or sitting too shallow. Incorrect screw lengths can compromise suspension alignment and body fit on your RC car.
- Hex Drive Head Design — Unlike slotted or Phillips head screws that strip easily, the hex drive head provides exceptional grip and torque application, allowing you to tighten and remove these fasteners repeatedly without damage. This design is standard across professional-grade RC vehicles and is far superior for repeated maintenance cycles.
- Cap Head Profile — The distinctive cap head design offers improved mechanical strength compared to pan head or button head alternatives, distributing force more effectively and reducing the likelihood of head stripping or bolt failure under suspension loads and vibration from off-road driving.
- Set of Six Screws — This pack contains six quality fasteners, providing enough spares for multiple repairs, suspension upgrades, or maintenance sessions on your RC vehicle. Having backup screws prevents frustrating downtime if fasteners are lost or damaged during disassembly.
- Genuine Traxxas Engineering — As official Traxxas replacement parts, these screws are manufactured to exact OEM specifications, guaranteeing compatibility and performance with Traxxas RC vehicles and components that demand precision engineering.
Technical Performance
These 3x6mm cap-head machine screws represent the kind of precision engineering that underpins the reliability Traxxas vehicles are renowned for across the UK RC hobby. The machine thread specification ensures consistent engagement with threaded holes or inserts, providing secure fastening without the risk of cross-threading that can occur with self-tapping screws. The black finish provides both aesthetic consistency with modern Traxxas components and practical corrosion resistance during outdoor bashing and wet-weather driving. The hex drive head offers superior torque transmission compared to Phillips or slotted alternatives, reducing fastener fatigue and enabling tighter, more reliable assembly. Whether you're working on high-speed on-road racing setups or off-road short course trucks, these fasteners maintain their integrity through countless assembly and disassembly cycles, making them an essential consumable for any serious RC hobbyist maintaining vehicles in the UK.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Which Traxxas models use these 3x6mm cap-head machine screws? — These screws are compatible with multiple popular Traxxas vehicles including the Traxxas Ford Fiesta ST Rally VXL in Green (TRX74276-4-GRN), the Traxxas Ford Fiesta ST Rally BL-2S in Red (TRX74154-4-RED), the Traxxas Slash Ultimate 4x4 VXL in Orange (TRX68277-4-ORNG), and various configurations of the Traxxas Slash HD XL-5 short course truck available in Blue, Orange, Green, and Red. If you own any of these ready to run RC vehicles, you'll find these fasteners invaluable for maintenance and repairs.
- Why should I choose genuine Traxxas replacement screws instead of generic alternatives? — Genuine Traxxas screws are engineered to exact specifications matching your vehicle's suspension geometry, body mounts, and structural components. Generic fasteners may have slightly different dimensions, thread pitches, or material properties that could result in loose assembly, stripped threads, or component misalignment. For vehicles that can exceed 60+ mph like the Slash Ultimate, using precision-engineered components is essential for safety and performance.
- Are these screws suitable for beginners maintaining their first RC car? — Absolutely. If you're a beginner owner of a Traxxas ready to run RC vehicle, these replacement screws are perfect for learning basic maintenance and component replacement. The hex drive head is extremely user-friendly, requiring only a simple hex key (Allen key) for installation. Keeping spare screws on hand builds confidence in performing routine maintenance and repairs without waiting for replacement parts to arrive.
- How many times can these screws be reused? — The machine thread design and hardened cap head construction means these screws can be disassembled and reassembled many times without degradation. However, if you notice stripped threads, bent heads, or difficulty tightening during maintenance, replace the affected fastener with a fresh screw from your spare pack. Having six screws in a single pack ensures you can rotate through them and always have working fasteners available.
- What tools do I need to install these screws? — The hex drive head requires only a 2mm hex key (Allen key), which is a standard tool included with most Traxxas RC vehicles and widely available at hobby shops across the UK. No special tools, power drills, or precision equipment are needed for installation, making screw replacement accessible to hobbyists of all skill levels.
