Key Features
- 3x24mm Dimensions — These screws are specifically sized at 3x24mm, designed to fit Traxxas RC vehicles and components with precision tolerance, ensuring proper fit and preventing cross-threading or damage to your RC car's chassis or body panels.
- Round-Head Design — The roundhead profile provides a larger bearing surface than flat-head alternatives, distributing pressure more evenly and reducing the risk of the screw head sinking into softer materials commonly found in RC car bodies and chassis.
- Self-Tapping Construction — These screws feature self-tapping capability, meaning they cut their own threads into the material as you install them, eliminating the need for pre-drilled holes in many applications and speeding up assembly and disassembly during RC car maintenance.
- Shoulder Design — The integrated shoulder provides additional support and stability, preventing the screw from being over-tightened whilst ensuring a secure, flush fit that won't damage delicate RC car components or body work.
- Phillips Drive Head — The Phillips drive head accepts standard Phillips screwdrivers, making these screws compatible with the tools most RC enthusiasts already have in their toolbox, whether you're working on your brushless RC car or any Traxxas model.
- Pack of Six — Coming as a set of six screws, this pack provides multiple replacement options, allowing you to stock spares for future maintenance of your RC vehicle without needing to purchase multiple packs.
- Genuine Traxxas Part — These are official Traxxas replacement parts, manufactured to OEM specifications and quality standards, ensuring they work perfectly with all compatible Traxxas RC car models and maintain the integrity of your vehicle.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What are self-tapping screws and why are they useful for RC cars? — Self-tapping screws cut their own threads as they're installed, eliminating the need for pre-drilled holes in many applications. This makes them invaluable for RC car maintenance and repairs, as they allow quick assembly and disassembly without preparation, and they work well with the plastic and composite materials commonly used in RC vehicle construction.
- Are these screws compatible with all Traxxas RC models? — The TRX2679 is a genuine Traxxas replacement part, but compatibility depends on your specific RC car model. Check your vehicle's manual or parts diagram to confirm whether your ready to run RC model uses these 3x24mm roundhead self-tapping screws. Many Traxxas RC vehicles do use these screws, but specifications vary across different models.
- Can I use these screws for other RC cars besides Traxxas vehicles? — Whilst these are Traxxas-specific fasteners, the 3x24mm roundhead self-tapping specification may be compatible with other RC car brands if they use the same screw sizing. However, for guaranteed fit and reliability, they're designed and recommended for Traxxas RC vehicles. If you're unsure, consult your RC car's manual or contact our expert team at RC Model Shop.
- What tools do I need to install these screws? — These Phillips drive screws require only a Phillips head screwdriver to install. For RC car maintenance, we recommend using a quality precision screwdriver set designed for RC vehicles, as this provides better control and prevents stripping the screw head. A cordless screwdriver can be convenient, but manual installation is often preferred for delicate RC car components.
- Why should I buy genuine Traxxas replacement parts? — Genuine Traxxas parts like the TRX2679 are manufactured to exact OEM specifications, ensuring perfect fit and compatibility with your RC car. Using genuine fasteners maintains the structural integrity of your vehicle, prevents damage to surrounding components, and ensures your RC hobby investment performs reliably. Counterfeit or incorrect fasteners can cause thread stripping, loose connections, and ultimately damage to your brushless RC car or other model.
- How many screws should I keep as spares? — Keeping spare fasteners is essential RC maintenance practice. This pack of six provides a good starting point, but as a serious RC enthusiast, you might consider purchasing multiple packs if you own several Traxxas RC vehicles or frequently perform maintenance. Having spares on hand means you're never delayed by a broken or stripped screw.
