Technical Performance
The FTX Cap Head Hex Screw M2.5x14mm is engineered as a precision fastening component designed specifically for use across FTX's extensive range of RC vehicles. The M2.5 diameter provides robust holding power whilst maintaining compatibility with the tapped holes and mounting points found throughout FTX models, from rock crawlers and buggies to stadium trucks and trail vehicles. The 14mm length ensures these screws reach sufficient depth to provide secure fastening without protruding excessively or interfering with moving parts or chassis components. The cap head hex design provides superior engagement with standard hex key tools, making these screws reliable for repeated tightening and loosening during maintenance cycles. The pack of eight provides multiple fasteners, ensuring you have spares for different projects across multiple RC vehicles or can address multiple fastening points in a single repair session. Whether you're maintaining an FTX Outback, Bugsta, Carnage, or any other model in the FTX range, these screws deliver the consistent performance and compatibility required for trouble-free RC operation.
