Frequently Asked Questions
- What Traxxas RC models are these button-head screws compatible with? — These 4x25mm button-head machine screws are compatible with multiple Traxxas models including the Sledge Belted 1/8 4WD brushless monster truck (blue, orange, green, and red), the UDR Unlimited Desert Racer Pro-Scale 4WD RTR short course truck with Rigid Industries or Fox Racing packages, and the X-Maxx Belted 4WD brushless 8S monster truck range (green, red, orange, blue standard models, plus the X-Maxx Ultimate green and blue variants). Always verify your vehicle's manual for specific fastener requirements.
- Why should I choose hex drive screws over Phillips head fasteners for my RC car? — Hex socket drive screws are superior for RC applications because the hexagonal socket provides a more secure grip with the hex bit, reducing the risk of stripping the fastener head during installation or removal. This is particularly important for RC cars UK that undergo frequent maintenance, repair, and tuning. Phillips head screws are prone to camming out, which can damage both the screw and the surrounding mounting area.
- Are these genuine Traxxas OEM parts? — Yes, absolutely. These are original equipment manufacturer (OEM) screws supplied by Traxxas and engineered to the same specifications as the fasteners used in factory assembly. Using genuine OEM parts ensures compatibility, reliability, and maintains the integrity of your RC vehicle.
- How many screws come in each pack? — Each package contains six button-head machine screws, providing multiple fasteners for repairs, replacements, or building kits. Many RC enthusiasts keep spare packs on hand for regular maintenance and crash repairs.
- What size are these screws? — These are 4x25mm M4 button-head machine screws, meaning they have a 4mm diameter thread and 25mm overall length. The button-head profile is approximately 7-8mm in diameter, providing a low-profile fastening solution that won't interfere with RC components.
- Do I need any special tools to install these screws? — You'll need a 3mm hex bit or hex key to install these button-head machine screws securely. A cordless drill or screwdriver with a hex socket adapter makes installation faster and easier, though hand tools work perfectly well for maintenance tasks.
- Can these screws be reused multiple times? — Yes, machine screws like these can be reinstalled multiple times without loss of integrity, though the threads may eventually wear if repeatedly inserted and removed from the same hole. For this reason, many RC enthusiasts keep spare screws on hand for regular maintenance.
