Traxxas 3x12mm Countersunk Self-Tapping Screws with Phillips Drive Six Pack TRX2648

Overview

The Traxxas Screws 3x12mm countersunk self-tapping (6 pcs) TRX2648 are genuine replacement fasteners engineered to exacting Traxxas specifications. Whether you're maintaining your RC car UK collection, repairing damage from a high-speed bash, or building a custom RC setup, these precision screws are an essential spare part for any serious RC enthusiast. Self-tapping design means they cut their own threads as you drive them home, making installation faster and more reliable than traditional screws that require pre-drilled holes.

If you're running Traxxas vehicles—from ready to run RC models right through to competition-grade race kits—having a supply of genuine OEM fasteners like these ensures your build maintains factory integrity and reliability. These countersunk screws sit flush with the surface they're mounted to, providing a clean, professional finish that's essential for both cosmetic appeal and aerodynamics on high-performance RC vehicles. The Phillips drive head allows precise, controlled installation without stripping, which is critical when working with the lightweight composite and aluminium bodies found on modern RC buggies, trucks and crawlers.

Stocking genuine Traxxas spare parts means you're investing in quality, compatibility and peace of mind. Whether you're a weekend basher enjoying recreational RC fun or a competitive racer preparing for the next event, having the right fasteners on hand prevents downtime and keeps your RC car performing at its peak.

Key Features

• Self-tapping design — These screws feature self-tapping threads that cut their own path into material, eliminating the need for pre-drilled holes and allowing faster, more reliable installation without the risk of hole misalignment or stripped threads.
• Countersunk head profile — The countersunk design sits flush with the mounting surface, creating a smooth, aerodynamic finish that's essential for high-speed RC vehicles and prevents snagging or catching during assembly and disassembly.
• Phillips drive head — The Phillips head design provides precise control during installation, preventing cam-out and stripping that can occur with less refined fastener designs, ensuring repeatable assembly every time.
• 3x12mm specification — The 3mm diameter and 12mm length make these screws ideal for general body panel mounting, electronic component securing and light structural assembly on 1/10 scale RC vehicles and other compact RC models.
• Set of six screws — This multi-pack of six fasteners provides spare coverage for multiple repair or assembly jobs, ensuring you always have replacement fasteners available without needing to place urgent orders.
• Genuine Traxxas component — As an official Traxxas spare part, these screws are manufactured to the exact standards and tolerances required for optimal fit and performance with genuine Traxxas vehicles and components.

Technical Performance

These fasteners represent the engineering excellence that Traxxas brings to every component of their RC vehicles. The self-tapping capability means the screw creates its own threaded pathway as you drive it, which is particularly valuable when working with composite materials and lightweight alloys commonly used in RC chassis, body panels and component housings. The countersunk profile ensures flush mounting without protrusions that could interfere with moving parts, catch dirt or create air resistance—important considerations on any serious RC car. The 3x12mm dimensions make these screws versatile across numerous mounting applications: body panel retention, servo mounting, electronics tray securing, and minor structural assembly. The Phillips drive provides good torque application without requiring excessive force, which matters when you're working with delicate composite materials that can split or crack under aggressive fastening. Built to Traxxas' OEM specifications, these screws integrate perfectly with Traxxas vehicles and maintain the factory build quality that keeps your RC truck or buggy running reliably across countless bashing sessions or race events.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Are these screws compatible with all Traxxas RC models? — These 3x12mm countersunk self-tapping screws are genuine Traxxas spare parts designed for use across their range of vehicles. However, compatibility depends on your specific model's design. Check your vehicle manual or the Traxxas parts diagram for your model to confirm these are the correct fastener size and type for your particular vehicle.
• What makes self-tapping screws better than regular screws for RC vehicles? — Self-tapping screws cut their own threads as they're driven in, which provides several advantages: they're faster to install, they work better with composite materials without requiring pre-drilling, and they create more secure connections that resist vibration-induced loosening—critical for RC cars that experience constant acceleration, deceleration and impact.
• Why choose genuine Traxxas screws over generic alternatives? — Genuine Traxxas fasteners are engineered to precise specifications matching your vehicle's materials, hole sizing and structural requirements. Using OEM parts ensures perfect fit, prevents damage to mounting points, maintains factory performance standards and ensures reliability that matters whether you're bashing casually or competing seriously.
• How many screws do I get and is that enough? — This pack contains six screws, providing spares for multiple assembly or repair jobs. For a typical vehicle maintenance or repair scenario, this quantity is sufficient, though serious RC enthusiasts often stock multiple packs for different projects or to have emergency spares readily available.
• Can I use these for all body panel mounting on my Traxxas vehicle? — These 3x12mm screws are suitable for many body panel and component mounting applications, but verify sizing against your vehicle documentation before purchase. Different Traxxas models use various fastener specifications, so matching to your specific vehicle model ensures proper fit and prevents damage.
