Key Features

• Genuine Traxxas Factory Parts — These screws are official Traxxas OEM components, not aftermarket substitutes, which guarantees they meet factory specifications and perform exactly as designed for your RC model.
• M3 x 8mm Specification — The 3x8mm dimensions provide the precise sizing needed for compatibility with Traxxas Mini Maxx BL-2S models and other compatible vehicles in the Traxxas range.
• Hex-Drive Head Design — The caphead with hex socket drive means you can use a hex wrench or Allen key for assembly and disassembly, providing superior grip compared to Phillips or slot-head screws and minimising the risk of damage through stripping.
• Cap-Head Construction — The raised cylindrical cap head provides a clean, professional appearance and offers excellent load distribution across the fastening point, crucial for maintaining structural integrity in high-vibration RC applications.
• Machine Thread Profile — These screws feature machine thread specifications, making them ideal for use in threaded holes and applications requiring precise mechanical fastening in your RC model's chassis and components.
• Black Finish — The black finish provides excellent corrosion resistance and matches the factory appearance of genuine Traxxas components, maintaining the professional look of your RC vehicle.
• Pack of Six — Each pack contains six screws, giving you sufficient replacements for multiple assembly tasks or repairs, with spares for future maintenance needs.

Technical Performance

These M3 x 8mm caphead machine screws represent the pinnacle of fastening precision for RC applications. The hex-drive head design ensures positive engagement with your hex wrench, eliminating the frustration of stripped screw heads that can occur with Phillips or slot-head alternatives. The caphead construction creates a larger bearing surface than button-head alternatives, distributing clamping forces more effectively across component interfaces. The machine thread profile is engineered for use in pre-threaded holes, providing consistent, repeatable fastening torque without the variability of self-tapping screws. At M3 diameter and 8mm length, these screws are perfectly proportioned for securing chassis components, electronics mounts, and structural elements on compatible Traxxas models. The black finish provides durability and visual consistency with factory components. Each screw in this pack of six is manufactured to exacting tolerances, ensuring that every replacement maintains the structural integrity and reliability your RC model demands, whether you're running a casual weekend bash session or pushing your machine hard in competitive racing.

Frequently Asked Questions

• What Traxxas models are these screws compatible with? — These M3 x 8mm caphead machine screws are officially compatible with the Traxxas Mini Maxx BL-2S range, available in green, blue, black and orange variants. However, they may fit other Traxxas models that use M3 x 8mm fasteners in their construction. We recommend checking your vehicle's manual or contacting our knowledgeable team at RC Model Shop if you're unsure about compatibility with your specific model.
• Why should I buy genuine Traxxas screws instead of generic replacements? — Genuine Traxxas parts are engineered to precise OEM specifications and manufactured to exacting quality standards. Generic screws may have slightly different dimensions, material properties or coatings that could affect fit, function or longevity. By choosing genuine Traxxas spare parts, you ensure your model maintains its factory performance characteristics and reliability. For RC enthusiasts in the UK who take their hobby seriously, authentic components represent the best investment in their vehicle's long-term health.
• How many screws should I order for maintenance? — This pack contains six screws, which provides good coverage for routine maintenance, repairs, or rebuilds on compatible models. Many RC enthusiasts keep several packs in their workshop as consumables, since fasteners can be lost during disassembly or damaged during crashes. Having spare genuine Traxxas components readily available ensures you're never left without the exact parts you need.
• What is the difference between caphead and button-head screws? — Caphead (also called socket head cap) screws have a taller, more pronounced cylindrical head, whereas button-head screws have a lower, more rounded profile. Caphead screws provide a larger bearing surface and distribute clamping forces more effectively, making them ideal for structural applications. The hex-drive design on these Traxxas screws ensures excellent grip and reduces stripping risk compared to Phillips or slot-head alternatives.
• Are these screws suitable for outdoor RC use? — Yes, the black finish provides good corrosion resistance for outdoor RC activities. However, after wet conditions or salt-water exposure, we recommend rinsing your model and allowing it to dry thoroughly to maintain component longevity. Regular inspection and replacement of any corroded fasteners helps keep your RC vehicle in peak condition.
• Can I use these screws on other brands of RC vehicles? — Whilst these are Traxxas-specific components engineered for Traxxas models, the M3 x 8mm specification is a standard metric size used in various RC applications. However, we always recommend using factory-approved parts for your specific model to ensure perfect compatibility and maintain warranty coverage. If you're considering using these on a non-Traxxas vehicle, please consult the vehicle's manual or contact our team for guidance.
