Whether you're replacing worn fasteners or building up spare parts inventory, the Traxxas 3x23mm cap head screws represent exceptional value and genuine quality that only factory-original parts can deliver.

Key Features

• M3 Machine Thread — These screws feature precise M3 metric threading that ensures perfect compatibility with Traxxas RC vehicles designed for this fastener size, eliminating the frustration of stripped threads or poor fitment that can occur with inferior generic alternatives.
• 23mm Length — The 23mm length specification is critical for proper engagement and holding power in Traxxas chassis and suspension assemblies, providing the correct depth of penetration needed for reliable mechanical joints throughout your RC car.
• Cap Head Design — The distinctive cap head profile provides excellent grip and contact surface for hex drivers, reducing the risk of tool slip and stripped screw heads during installation and removal, which is especially important when working on precision RC components.
• Hex Driver Compatible — These screws utilise a hex (Allen key) socket design rather than Phillips or slot heads, offering superior grip and torque transfer, making adjustments and maintenance quicker and more reliable on your RC vehicles.
• Black Finish — The black machine thread finish provides enhanced corrosion resistance and durability, protecting against rust and degradation even when your RC car is exposed to damp conditions, mud, and wet terrain during outdoor RC hobby sessions.
• Pack of Six — With six screws included, you have multiple replacements for a single vehicle or can stock spares across several RC models, ensuring you're never caught without replacements during maintenance or repair work.
• Genuine Traxxas Component — As factory-original Traxxas parts, these screws are manufactured to exacting specifications and quality standards that third-party alternatives simply cannot match, guaranteeing perfect fitment and reliability.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Are these header screws compatible with all Traxxas RC car models? — The M3x23mm specification is used across many Traxxas platforms including the Rustler, Stampede, Slash, and various other models, but compatibility depends on your specific vehicle.
