Key Features

• M2.5 x 12mm Size Specification — These fasteners are precision-sized at M2.5 diameter with 12mm length, making them the exact match for numerous mounting points throughout FTX RC vehicles. The correct size is critical for proper assembly and safe operation, preventing loosening during driving and ensuring components remain securely attached through bumps, jumps and aggressive terrain.
• Cap Head Hex Design — The cap head hex socket design provides superior grip and control compared to slotted or Phillips head alternatives, allowing you to apply torque without risk of stripping the fastener head. This design is preferred by RC professionals and serious hobbyists because it delivers reliable performance and longevity.
• Pack of Eight Screws — You receive eight individual screws in this pack, giving you a practical quantity for multiple repairs or maintenance tasks. Whether you need to replace fasteners on a single chassis or have several vehicles to maintain, this pack provides excellent value and ensures you have spares available.
• Genuine FTX Spares — These are authentic FTX-branded spare parts, not aftermarket alternatives or generic screws. Using genuine FTX spares guarantees compatibility and quality assurance that matches the original components in your RC vehicles.
• Universal Compatibility — The M2.5 x 12mm specification is used throughout the FTX range across multiple model lines including crawlers, buggies, trucks and truggy models. Many RC car UK builders also use these screws for custom builds and modifications.
• Durable Construction — FTX fasteners are manufactured to withstand the stresses of RC driving, maintaining their grip and integrity through repeated use, temperature changes and the vibrations inherent in off-road RC car operation.

Technical Performance

The FTX Cap Head Hex Screw M2.5 x 12mm represents the engineering standard for RC fasteners, offering the precise dimensions and material quality that ensure long-term reliability in demanding RC applications. The M2.5 diameter specification is carefully chosen for components requiring secure fastening without excessive bulk, while the 12mm length provides optimal engagement for typical RC chassis, suspension and body mounting points. Cap head hex screws of this specification are engineered for consistent torque retention, resisting the vibration-induced loosening that can occur during aggressive driving. The hex socket design allows technicians to apply controlled torque using standard metric hex keys (Allen keys), preventing the fastener rounding or stripping that sometimes occurs with inferior fastener designs. These screws are manufactured from quality steel that resists corrosion and maintains structural integrity through repeated assembly and disassembly cycles, which is essential for serious RC car UK builders who regularly service and upgrade their vehicles. Whether you're performing routine maintenance on your FTX Outback 2.0, constructing a custom crawler setup, or repairing damage from an enthusiastic weekend bashing session, these fasteners deliver the reliable performance expected from genuine OEM spares.
