Key Features

• M4 Thread Size — These screws feature a metric M4 thread specification, providing compatibility with standard Traxxas chassis and component mounting points across multiple models including the X-Maxx and UDR range.
• 22mm Length — The 22mm length is precisely engineered for securing various Traxxas components, from body mounts to internal chassis hardware, without excessive protrusion that could interfere with moving parts.
• Button-Head Design — The low-profile button head sits flush or nearly flush with mounting surfaces, reducing the risk of snagging on grass, dirt, or other obstacles during RC bashing or racing, and providing a cleaner aesthetic appearance.
• Hex Drive — Featuring a hex drive socket, these screws work with standard hex keys and driver bits, making them quick and easy to install or remove without the need for Phillips head or other specialist screwdrivers.
• Machine Thread Profile — The machine thread specification means these screws create their own threads when installed into pre-drilled holes, making them ideal for rapid assembly and disassembly during routine maintenance or repairs.
• Black Finish — The black coating provides corrosion resistance and durability, helping the screws maintain their integrity even when exposed to moisture, mud, and the demanding conditions of off-road RC bashing.
• Set of Six — Each pack contains six individual screws, providing enough spares for multiple repairs or allowing you to replace fasteners across several mounting points on your RC vehicle in one purchase.
• Genuine Traxxas Part — As an authentic Traxxas OEM component, this part is guaranteed to fit and function perfectly with compatible Traxxas vehicles, giving you peace of mind and reliability you can count on.

Technical Performance

These Traxxas button-head machine screws represent precision engineering at its finest. The M4 metric thread size with 22mm length has been carefully calculated to work with Traxxas' modular chassis designs, particularly their larger and more complex models like the X-Maxx Belted 4WD Brushless RTR 8S Monster Truck and the UDR Unlimited Desert Racer Pro-Scale 4WD RTR Short Course Truck. The hex drive head design eliminates the common problem of stripped Phillips heads, which is especially important when working with high-vibration off-road RC vehicles that experience constant bouncing and impact. The button-head profile keeps fasteners low and protected from snagging, a critical consideration when your RC car UK model is navigating rough terrain or tight obstacles. The black finish provides adequate protection against the elements, rust, and corrosion that can degrade fasteners when exposed to wet conditions or stored in damp environments. These screws are manufactured to tight tolerances to ensure smooth, reliable threading and secure fastening every time, whether you're doing routine maintenance on your brushless RC vehicle or performing field repairs during an RC bashing session. The machine thread specification makes installation quick and straightforward — simply align and drive home with your hex key, with no need for separate nuts or complex installation procedures.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Which Traxxas RC models are these screws compatible with? — These M4 x 22mm button-head machine screws are compatible with a wide range of Traxxas vehicles, including the X-Maxx Belted 4WD Brushless RTR 8S Monster Truck (available in Orange, Blue, Red, and Green), the X-Maxx Ultimate (available in Blue X and Green X), and the UDR Unlimited Desert Racer Pro-Scale 4WD RTR Short Course Truck models with Fox Racing and Rigid Industries variants. If you own any modern Traxxas 4WD RTR model, there's a good chance you'll find a use for these versatile fasteners.
• Are these button-head screws better than Phillips head alternatives? — Yes, button-head hex drive screws offer several advantages over Phillips head designs. The hex socket is less prone to stripping, providing a more secure grip when tightening or removing fasteners. The button head profile is also lower and less likely to snag on terrain or components, making them ideal for RC bashing and high-impact use. For serious RC car UK enthusiasts, hex drive fasteners are considered the superior choice for reliability and durability.
• What tools do I need to install these screws? — You'll need a hex key (Allen key) of the appropriate size to match the hex drive socket in the screw head. Most RC enthusiasts keep a variety of hex keys on hand as they're standard tools for RC vehicle maintenance. A cordless drill or screwdriver with hex bits can speed up installation during large assembly or repair jobs.
• Can I use these screws for other RC models? — While these are specifically designed and tested for Traxxas models, the M4 x 22mm metric size is a standard specification. However, we recommend using genuine OEM parts designed for your specific vehicle to ensure optimal fit and performance. If you're uncertain whether these screws will work with a particular model, our team at RC Model Shop can provide expert advice.
• How many screws come in each pack? — Each pack contains six individual button-head machine screws, providing enough for multiple repairs or as emergency backups during RC adventures and off-road bashing sessions.
• Why should I keep spare screws in my RC toolkit? — Fasteners like these screws can be lost, damaged, or stripped during normal use, especially in demanding RC bashing scenarios. Keeping a spare set ensures you're never stuck waiting for parts to arrive and can get your RC vehicle back in action quickly. Any serious RC enthusiast should maintain a collection of common spare fasteners including button-head screws like these.
