Key Features

• Genuine Traxxas OEM Component — These screws are original equipment manufacture fasteners designed and engineered by Traxxas specifically for their RC vehicle range, ensuring perfect compatibility and performance with all Traxxas models and many aftermarket applications in the RC hobby market.
• Countersunk Head Design — The countersunk profile allows these screws to sit flush with the surface when installed, providing a clean finish that doesn't interfere with moving parts, body panels or suspension components on your RC car or truck.
• Precision M2.6 Diameter — These fasteners are manufactured to the M2.6 metric standard, providing an optimal balance between strength and weight that suits the engineering requirements of modern high-performance RC vehicles without adding unnecessary mass.
• 8mm Length Specification — The 8mm length is carefully engineered for specific applications within the Traxxas chassis and drivetrain, ensuring proper engagement without bottoming out or creating excessive protrusion that could cause mechanical interference.
• Machine Thread Construction — Unlike self-tapping screws, these machine threads require a threaded hole, providing superior hold strength and allowing for repeated installation and removal without thread damage—ideal for frequent maintenance and rebuilding.
• Pozidriv Driver Type — The Pozidriv (Pozi) drive pattern provides superior grip and control compared to basic Phillips head screws, reducing the risk of stripping the screw head during installation or removal with your RC maintenance toolkit.
• Silver Finish — The polished silver finish provides corrosion resistance and a professional appearance, particularly important if you're regularly exposing your RC models to wet grass, mud or challenging outdoor terrain during your UK RC racing sessions.
• Pack of Six Units — Each TRX5169 pack contains six individual screws, providing sufficient spares for replacement, repair or building multiple RC models, making this an economical choice for collectors and competitive racers with multiple vehicles.

Technical Performance

The Traxxas TRX5169 screws represent precision engineering optimised for the demanding environment of remote control vehicles. At M2.6 diameter with an 8mm length, these machine screws deliver the exact fastening characteristics required for critical assemblies throughout Traxxas RC cars, buggies, trucks and crawlers. The countersunk head design is particularly valuable in RC applications where every millimetre of chassis clearance matters—whether you're running a high-speed electric brushless RC buggy, a crawler tackling technical terrain, or a stadium truck built for competitive racing. The machine thread construction, as opposed to self-tapping alternatives, means these screws engage with pre-drilled threaded holes, providing dramatically superior holding power under the constant vibration and shock loading that RC vehicles experience. The Pozidriv driver type ensures your screwdriver or hex tool seats positively in the head, minimising the frustration of stripped screw heads that can occur when working with tiny fasteners under magnification. Whether you're performing routine maintenance on your ready to run RC vehicle, rebuilding shock towers on a competition-grade model, or assembling custom RC configurations, the quality and precision of these Traxxas fasteners ensures reliable performance. The silver finish provides practical corrosion protection for outdoor RC racing in the UK, where variable weather conditions can affect unfinished metal components. These are the fasteners trusted by RC enthusiasts who understand that superior performance in remote control vehicles is built on precision engineering throughout every component, from the suspension system right down to the fasteners holding everything together.

Frequently Asked Questions

• What RC models use the Traxxas TRX5169 2.6x8mm countersunk machine screws? — These fasteners are designed as OEM components for various Traxxas RC vehicles and as universal replacement screws for many compatible hobby applications across the RC car, RC buggy, RC truck and RC crawler range. Consult your specific model's parts manual or contact our team to confirm compatibility with your particular vehicle.
• Why are machine thread screws better than self-tapping screws for RC models? — Machine thread screws require a pre-threaded hole and provide superior holding strength under the vibration and impact loading that RC vehicles experience during racing or bashing. They can be removed and reinstalled repeatedly without degrading the thread, making them ideal for maintenance and repairs that you'll perform throughout the life of your RC hobby investment.
• How many screws come in each pack? — The TRX5169 pack contains six individual countersunk machine screws, providing adequate spares for repair work, rebuilding, or maintaining multiple RC models in your collection.
• What does Pozidriv head mean and why does it matter? — Pozidriv (Pozi) is a superior screw head design that provides better grip and control compared to standard Phillips head screws. This matters significantly in RC work because it reduces the risk of stripping the screw head when installing or removing these tiny fasteners, which is critical when you're working with precision components on expensive RC vehicles.
• Are these screws suitable for outdoor RC racing in wet conditions? — Yes, the silver finish provides corrosion resistance that makes these screws suitable for regular outdoor RC use across the UK, where exposure to damp grass, mud and variable weather is common during RC racing sessions.
• Can I use these screws on different Traxxas models? — These are universal replacement fasteners that will work on any RC model using M2.6x8mm countersunk machine screws. However, always consult your specific vehicle's manual to confirm the correct screw specification for any particular assembly, as using the wrong fastener size can damage components or compromise performance.
