Available in convenient packs of 10 screws, this product offers excellent value for money and eliminates the frustration of being unable to complete a repair or build because you lack the correct fasteners. For anyone serious about their RC hobby in the UK, keeping spare screws in the correct sizes is simply good practice and ensures your RC car, buggy, truck or crawler is always ready for action.

Technical Performance
These M3 x 16mm button head cap screws represent precision engineering at its finest, designed specifically for the demands of competitive and recreational RC use. The button head configuration provides superior aesthetics and practical benefits compared to traditional socket head screws, with the lower profile reducing snags on track or trail. The M3 metric size is one of the most commonly used fastener sizes throughout Team Associated's comprehensive model range, spanning everything from their competitive racing buggies and trucks to their recreational bashers and crawlers. The 16mm length provides sufficient engagement for secure fastening without protruding excessively from components, making it ideal for internal chassis assemblies, suspension mounting points, and electronic component installation. Manufactured from high-grade steel and finished to exacting standards, these screws offer excellent corrosion resistance and durability, even when exposed to the demanding conditions of competitive RC racing or outdoor bashing. Whether you're competing at national level events or enjoying casual recreational driving, the reliability of these fasteners is crucial to maintaining your RC vehicle's performance and preventing mid-run failures.

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. For most repairs or component replacements, 10 screws should be sufficient. However, if you're performing a complete rebuild or have multiple vehicles to maintain, you may want to order additional packs to keep a comprehensive spare parts inventory.

Using genuine fasteners ensures compatibility, durability and reliability, and helps maintain your warranty coverage. As an authorised Team Associated retailer, RC Model Shop stocks only authentic components.
