Key Features
- Countersunk design — The countersunk head sits flush with the surface when installed, creating a clean, professional finish on your RC model and preventing snags or interference with other components during assembly and operation.
- 3x6mm dimensions — These screws are precisely sized at 3mm diameter by 6mm length, matching the exacting specifications of Traxxas vehicles and ensuring they fit perfectly into the designed mounting points without being too loose or too tight.
- Self-tapping thread — The self-tapping design means these screws can create their own thread path, making installation quick and efficient without requiring pre-drilled holes, which is particularly valuable for emergency repairs during track days or bash sessions.
- Hex drive head — The hexagonal drive head accepts a standard hex key or hex driver bit, providing secure engagement and reducing the risk of stripping the fastener head during installation or removal compared to softer drive types.
- Set of six pieces — Each pack contains six screws, giving you multiple fasteners for repairs, replacements, or building up a spare parts inventory for your RC car collection.
- Genuine Traxxas quality — Manufactured by Traxxas to the same rigorous standards as their vehicles and components, these screws deliver reliability and consistency that matches the performance expectations of the RC community.
Technical Performance
The Traxxas Screws TRX2653 represent precision fastening engineering designed specifically for the demands of RC car maintenance and repair. The 3x6mm specification provides the ideal balance between strength and minimal weight addition, critical considerations in RC vehicle engineering where every gram matters. The countersunk machine screw design allows for flush mounting that maintains the aerodynamic profile of your RC model whilst ensuring fasteners don't catch on surrounding components or terrain during high-speed runs. The self-tapping thread pattern means these screws cut their own path into materials, eliminating the time-consuming need for pre-drilling holes and allowing quick field repairs without additional tools. The hex drive head provides superior torque transfer compared to slotted or Phillips head alternatives, reducing the likelihood of cam-out or fastener damage that can occur during assembly in the field. These fasteners are manufactured from hardened steel to withstand the vibration, impacts and stresses inherent in remote control car operation. Whether you're working on a 1/10 scale brushless RC buggy, a 4WD monster truck, or any other Traxxas model, these screws deliver the authentic fit and reliability that discerning RC enthusiasts expect from genuine Traxxas spare parts.
