Technical Performance

These M3 x 0.5 x 6mm button head cap screws represent the pinnacle of fastening precision in the RC hobby. The M3 designation indicates a 3 millimetre nominal diameter, while the 0.5mm thread pitch provides fine threading for secure engagement without stripping risk. The 6mm length is carefully specified to penetrate components adequately whilst remaining low-profile, preventing interference with suspension geometry, servo linkages, or electronics placement. Team Associated's manufacturing tolerances ensure these screws fit perfectly into threaded holes across their entire model range, from vintage RC10 and RC8 platforms through to contemporary competition machines including the B6, B6.1, B6.2, B6.3, B6.4, B7, TC6, TC7, SC8, SC10 and all variants. The button head design distributes fastening loads efficiently across component surfaces, reducing the risk of dimpling or deformation common with smaller-diameter socket heads. These are precision engineered fasteners that demonstrate Team Associated's commitment to engineering excellence, making them the obvious choice for any RC car UK builder or competitor who understands that race-winning performance begins with attention to fundamental assembly details.
