Traxxas Self-Tapping Button Head Screws 1.6x5mm Hex Drive 6-Pack TRX6644

Overview

The Traxxas Screws, 1.6x5mm button-head, self-tapping (hex drive) are essential replacement fasteners for RC enthusiasts maintaining their models. Whether you're a dedicated RC car UK hobbyist or a competitive racer, these precision screws are the exact replacement parts you need to keep your Traxxas RC vehicles in perfect working order. Manufactured by Traxxas, the world's leading RC brand, these self-tapping screws are engineered to the highest standards and designed specifically for use on Traxxas models where original specification parts are required for optimal performance and reliability.

Self-tapping screws are invaluable in the RC hobby because they create their own thread as they are installed, making assembly and reassembly quick and straightforward. The hex drive design means you can use a standard hex key (allen key) for installation and removal, ensuring you have the right tool for the job without needing specialised equipment. With six screws included in this pack, you'll have enough to replace damaged fasteners, perform maintenance, or complete multiple repairs on your ready to run RC crawler or truck.

If you own a Traxxas TRX-6 Mercedes-Benz G 63 AMG XL-5 1:10 6x6 RTD Crawler or similar Traxxas model, having genuine replacement screws on hand is essential for keeping your RC vehicle in peak condition. These button-head screws are the original factory specification components, ensuring perfect fitment and compatibility with your RC model.

Key Features

• Self-tapping design — These screws create their own thread as they are installed, which means you don't need pre-drilled or pre-threaded holes in many applications, saving time during assembly and making them versatile for various RC repair and maintenance tasks.
• Hex drive head — The hex drive socket head allows you to use a standard hex key (allen key) for secure installation and removal, giving you positive engagement and reducing the risk of stripping the screw head during use.
• Button-head profile — The rounded button-head design sits flush or slightly proud of the surface, providing a neat appearance on your RC model whilst minimising the risk of snagging or catching on internal components during assembly.
• Genuine Traxxas specification — These are original factory screws designed and manufactured to Traxxas standards, ensuring perfect compatibility with Traxxas RC models and delivering the reliability you expect from the brand.
• 1.6x5mm sizing — The precise 1.6mm diameter and 5mm length make these screws ideal for small-scale fastening applications where space is limited, such as on 1/10 scale RC crawlers and trucks.
• Pack of six — With six screws included, you have multiple replacements available, allowing you to tackle several repairs or maintain spares for future maintenance tasks.

Technical Performance

These Traxxas screws represent precision engineering in miniature form. The 1.6x5mm dimensions are carefully calculated to provide secure fastening on 1/10 scale RC models without adding unnecessary weight or bulk. The self-tapping feature means the screw cuts its own thread into softer materials commonly used in RC chassis and body components, creating a permanent and reliable connection. The hex drive head is manufactured to tight tolerances, ensuring your hex key fits perfectly without wobble or slip, which is critical when working on intricate RC assemblies where damaged fasteners can cause alignment issues or component failure. Built to Traxxas' exacting standards, these screws undergo rigorous quality control to ensure consistent performance across the entire pack. Whether you're performing routine maintenance on your 1/10 scale RC crawler, repairing damage from a bash session, or building custom configurations, these genuine Traxxas fasteners provide the dependability you need. The button-head profile also means there's no protruding hex socket that could interfere with other components or catch on wiring and electronic components inside your RC model's chassis.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Are these screws compatible with my Traxxas RC model? — These 1.6x5mm button-head self-tapping screws are designed as replacement parts for Traxxas vehicles, particularly crawlers and scale models like the TRX-6 Mercedes-Benz G 63 AMG. To confirm compatibility with your specific model, check your user manual or contact the Traxxas support team with your model number, as different Traxxas vehicles use different fastener sizes.
• What does self-tapping mean and why is it useful? — Self-tapping screws create their own thread as they are twisted into material, which means they don't require a pre-drilled hole with threads already cut. This makes them incredibly useful for RC assembly and repairs because they can fasten into plastic, aluminium, and composite materials that are commonly used in RC models, without requiring specialised tools to create threads first.
• Why should I buy genuine Traxxas screws instead of generic alternatives? — Genuine Traxxas screws are manufactured to the exact specifications required for your RC model, ensuring proper fitment, correct thread compatibility, and reliable performance. Using generic screws can result in poor fitment, stripped threads, or components coming loose during operation, potentially damaging your expensive RC vehicle. Genuine parts maintain the integrity and value of your RC model.
• What tools do I need to install these screws? — The hex drive head means you only need a standard hex key (allen key) in the appropriate size to install and remove these screws. No specialised tools are required, making maintenance and repairs straightforward for RC enthusiasts of all experience levels.
• How many screws are in a pack and will that be enough? — This pack contains six screws, which is ideal for replacing damaged fasteners, performing multiple repairs, or keeping spare parts on hand. For extensive repairs or if you maintain multiple RC models, you might want to purchase additional packs to ensure you always have replacements available.
• Are these screws suitable for beginners? — Yes, absolutely. Self-tapping screws are actually ideal for beginners because they're more forgiving than threaded fasteners and don't require pre-drilled holes in many applications. The simple hex drive design means you only need a basic hex key to install them, making them perfect for anyone new to RC maintenance and repairs.
