Overview
The Losi Button Head Screws, 2-56 x 1/2 inch (8) are precision-engineered fasteners designed specifically for RC model enthusiasts and serious hobbyists in the UK who demand quality spare parts. Whether you're maintaining your RC car, buggy, truck or crawler, having the correct replacement screws on hand is essential for keeping your model in peak working condition. These button head screws from Losi, a recognised leader in RC vehicle manufacturing, represent the genuine OEM specification parts that your model was originally built with.
Button head screws are a popular choice across the RC hobby because they offer a low-profile design that sits flush when properly fastened, reducing the risk of snagging or interfering with moving parts. This pack contains eight individual screws, making it ideal for repairs, upgrades, or customisation projects. If you're rebuilding a Losi RC model, replacing worn fasteners, or simply maintaining a well-stocked spare parts box—which any serious RC enthusiast should have—these screws are an indispensable addition to your workshop.
RC car UK owners know that preventative maintenance is the key to longevity and consistent performance. Small components like fasteners might seem insignificant, but they play a critical role in holding your vehicle together safely and securely. By choosing authentic Losi spare parts, you ensure compatibility and reliability with your model.
Key Features
- Genuine OEM Losi Part — These screws are manufactured to the exact specifications required by Losi models, ensuring perfect fitment and long-term reliability. Using genuine spare parts protects your investment and maintains your model's integrity.
- Button Head Design — The low-profile button head style prevents interference with other components and provides a neater appearance than standard pan or flat head screws. This design is ideal for tight spaces and exposed areas where a flush finish is desirable.
- 2-56 Thread Specification — The 2-56 metric thread size is a standard specification across many RC models and hobby applications. This size offers a balance between strength and ease of installation, making it suitable for general assembly work.
- 1/2 Inch Length — The half-inch length is precisely engineered to secure components without over-threading or creating weak points. This specification ensures proper engagement without damaging soft materials.
- Pack of Eight — This multi-pack gives you spare fasteners for multiple repairs or complete assembly projects, reducing the need for frequent reordering and ensuring you always have replacements on hand.
- Quality Construction — Losi fasteners are manufactured to consistent tolerances and finished to prevent rust and corrosion, ensuring they remain functional and reliable even in the demanding environment of RC motorsport.
Technical Performance
These button head screws represent Losi's commitment to precision engineering and quality control. The 2-56 x 1/2 inch specification is carefully calculated to provide optimal holding power whilst minimising weight—a critical consideration in RC vehicle design where every fraction of a gram can affect handling and performance. The button head profile reduces drag and the risk of fastener failure from impacts, which is particularly important for serious RC enthusiasts who push their models to the limit. The screws are manufactured from materials selected for durability and corrosion resistance, meaning they'll maintain their integrity through multiple assembly and disassembly cycles. Whether you're a competitive racer, weekend basher, or meticulous collector who maintains their models to showroom standards, the engineering behind these fasteners ensures reliable service across all RC applications. The consistent manufacturing quality Losi is known for means you can confidently use these screws in critical positions where component security is paramount.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What Losi models use 2-56 x 1/2 inch button head screws? — These screws are compatible with multiple Losi RC models across various scales and types. We recommend consulting your specific model's manual or parts diagram to confirm compatibility, as fastener specifications vary between models. If you're unsure whether these are the correct parts for your model, our experienced team at RC Model Shop is happy to help identify the right components.
- Why should I choose genuine Losi spare parts over aftermarket alternatives? — Genuine OEM parts like these screws are engineered and tested to work perfectly with your Losi model. They guarantee proper fitment, correct thread engagement, and reliable performance. Using genuine parts protects your warranty and ensures your model maintains the quality standards Losi designed into it.
- How often should I replace or inspect these fasteners? — For recreational use, inspect screws regularly for loosening, especially after impacts or rough terrain use. If you bash your RC car frequently, checking fasteners before each session is good practice. Replace any screws that show stripping, corrosion, or damage. For racing applications, many competitors replace fasteners regularly as part of their pre-event preparation routine.
- Are these screws suitable for outdoor use? — Yes, Losi fasteners are engineered for the demanding outdoor environment where RC models operate. The materials and finish provide corrosion resistance, making them suitable for use in various weather conditions. However, after exposure to water or mud, it's good practice to inspect and dry fasteners to maintain optimal condition.
- Can I use these screws to replace other fasteners on my RC model? — We recommend using fasteners of the correct specification for each location on your model. Using the wrong size or type could result in poor holding power or damage to components. Always refer to your model's manual or contact our team to identify the correct fastener for any repair or upgrade project.
