Frequently Asked Questions

• Will these Team Associated BHCS 3x16mm screws fit my RC car? — Yes, these M3 x 16mm button head cap screws are compatible with numerous Team Associated RC models. Team Associated uses this common metric size across multiple platforms including their SC10, RC8, B-series, T-series and many other models. However, if you're unsure whether these are the correct size for your specific model, we recommend checking your vehicle's instruction manual or contacting our team at RC Model Shop for guidance on compatibility.
• What are button head cap screws and why should I use them instead of standard socket head screws? — Button head cap screws feature a rounded, dome-shaped head rather than the hexagonal socket head of traditional cap screws. This design offers several advantages for RC applications: the rounded head distributes clamping force more evenly across a wider area, reducing the risk of stripping or damaging surrounding components; the lower profile is less likely to snag on track or terrain during aggressive driving; and they provide a cleaner, more professional appearance on finished models. For these reasons, BHCS are the preferred fastening solution throughout the Team Associated product range.
• How many screws come in this pack and will they be enough for my repairs? — This pack contains 10 M3 x 16mm button head cap screws, providing a good supply for typical maintenance and repair tasks.
