As a dedicated RC car UK retailer, we understand that having the right replacement parts on hand is crucial for weekend bashers, serious racers, and everyone in between.

Self-tapping screws are a fundamental component in RC vehicle assembly and maintenance, allowing you to create or repair threaded holes without requiring pre-drilled threads. The 3x28mm specification makes these screws ideal for securing various body panels, chassis components, and internal fittings on a wide range of Traxxas RC vehicles.

Unlike generic fasteners, genuine Traxxas screws are manufactured to exacting standards to ensure they work perfectly with your RC car's existing holes and fittings. Every serious RC hobbyist knows that using quality OEM parts like these TRX2652 screws is an investment in your vehicle's longevity and performance.

Technical Performance

The Traxxas TRX2652 screws represent the engineering excellence that Traxxas has built its reputation upon within the UK RC hobby community. These self-tapping fasteners are manufactured from hardened steel, providing exceptional durability and resistance to stripping even when repeatedly installed and removed during maintenance cycles. The countersunk head design is precision-formed to ensure that once tightened, the screw head sits perfectly flush with the mounting surface, which is particularly important in RC vehicles where any protruding fasteners could interfere with suspension movement, wheel articulation, or aerodynamic body fit. The self-tapping feature means that the threads are cut into the receiving material as the screw is driven home, creating a secure mechanical lock that resists vibration loosening during high-speed running or off-road bashing. The 3x28mm dimensions have been specifically selected by Traxxas engineers to provide optimal holding power whilst remaining proportionate to the plastic and composite materials used throughout Traxxas RC vehicle designs. Whether you're reassembling a Traxxas Slash, Stampede, or any other model in the extensive Traxxas range, these screws deliver the reliability and fit quality that you'd expect from an authentic OEM component.

Frequently Asked Questions

• What are self-tapping screws and why are they used in RC cars? — Self-tapping screws are fasteners with a sharp, specially designed point that cuts its own thread as it's driven into material. In RC vehicles, they're used because they can create secure connections in plastic and composite materials without requiring pre-drilled holes, making assembly, repairs, and maintenance much faster and more straightforward for RC enthusiasts.
• Why should I use genuine Traxxas screws instead of generic alternatives? — Genuine Traxxas OEM screws like the TRX2652 are engineered and manufactured to exact specifications that match your vehicle's mounting points and materials. Generic screws may not fit properly, could strip easily, or might cause damage to your RC car's plastic components, potentially affecting performance and longevity.
• What does countersunk mean and why does it matter? — Countersunk describes a screw head that sits flush with or slightly below the surface when fully installed. This design matters in RC vehicles because protruding screw heads can snag on terrain, interfere with suspension components, or disrupt the aerodynamic fit of body panels, all of which could negatively affect your RC car's performance.
• Are these screws suitable for all Traxxas RC vehicles? — These 3x28mm countersunk self-tapping screws are compatible with a wide range of Traxxas models, but it's always worth checking your specific vehicle's manual or contacting our expert team to confirm they're the right fit for your particular RC car before ordering.
• How many screws do I get in a pack? — Each TRX2652 package contains six individual screws, giving you enough fasteners to complete multiple repairs or maintain several RC vehicles in your collection.
• Can I reuse self-tapping screws multiple times? — Self-tapping screws can be reinstalled a few times in the same hole, but if you're repeatedly removing and reinstalling them in identical locations, the threads may eventually become stripped or loose. If this happens, you may need to move the screw to a different location or drill a slightly larger hole for a larger diameter screw.
