These socket flat head screws are precision-engineered to exacting standards, providing the reliability and durability that FTX is recognised for across the entire RC hobby community.

As a critical fastening component, the M2 X 10mm socket flat head screw is used extensively throughout FTX's comprehensive range of RC vehicles, from rock crawlers and off-road buggies to scale models and competition-grade platforms.

RC Model Shop stocks this essential FTX spare part to support the growing community of FTX RC car enthusiasts across the UK. Having quality fasteners on hand is crucial for any RC hobbyist, as these components are subject to vibration, impact and constant stress during operation. The FTX Socket Flat Head Screw M2 X 10mm offers genuine OEM quality at an affordable price point, making it an excellent addition to your spare parts collection.

Key Features

• M2 Metric Thread Size — This standard metric M2 thread specification ensures compatibility with FTX models and many other RC platforms, allowing you to source reliable replacements from an authorised retailer without uncertainty about fitment.
• 10mm Length — The 10mm length is purpose-designed for FTX applications, providing sufficient engagement and holding power whilst maintaining the clean profile demanded by modern RC design.
• Socket Flat Head Design — The socket head allows for precise torque application using a hexagonal allen key, preventing cam-out and damage to the fastener whilst the flat head sits flush against mounting surfaces, reducing aerodynamic drag and creating a professional appearance on visible components.
• Genuine FTX Component — As an official FTX spare part, this screw meets the exact specifications and quality standards required for proper fitment and long-term reliability in FTX RC vehicles, giving you confidence in its performance.
• Precision Manufacturing — FTX fasteners are manufactured to tight tolerances, ensuring consistent performance and preventing the loose fasteners and rattling that can occur with inferior quality components during intense driving sessions.
• Essential Spare Part — Keep several of these screws in your RC spares box for quick field repairs and maintenance, as fasteners are consumable items that occasionally need replacement during the lifetime of your RC car UK.

Technical Performance

The FTX Socket Flat Head Screw M2 X 10mm represents precision engineering applied to a fundamental RC component. Manufactured to exacting standards, this fastener is engineered to withstand the vibration, impact and stress loads common to RC vehicles during aggressive driving, high-speed runs and competitive use. The M2 metric thread provides excellent engagement with tapped holes, distributing forces evenly and preventing premature wear or thread stripping. The socket head design permits controlled tightening using a hexagonal allen key, allowing the driver to achieve proper torque without over-tightening, which could damage either the fastener or the mounting surface. The flat head profile ensures the screw sits completely flush with the component surface, maintaining aerodynamic properties and preventing snagging during assembly and disassembly. Whether used in suspension components, body mounts, electronics brackets or other critical applications throughout FTX RC models, this screw delivers the reliability and durability expected from genuine OEM components. The 10mm length has been precisely calculated to provide optimal engagement depth, ensuring maximum holding power whilst avoiding over-penetration that could damage internal components or create sharp protrusions that might catch on other parts.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Which FTX RC models use M2 X 10mm socket flat head screws? — The M2 X 10mm socket flat head screw is used across FTX's extensive model range, including rock crawlers, off-road buggies, short course trucks and many other FTX RC vehicles. Check your specific model's instruction manual or parts diagram to confirm compatibility, though this size is one of the most common metric fasteners used throughout the FTX product line.
• Why would I need replacement socket head screws for my RC car? — During the lifetime of your RC car UK, fasteners can become loose due to vibration, may be damaged or stripped when over-tightened, or might be lost during field repairs or crashes. Having genuine replacement screws ensures you can quickly restore your model to full working order without waiting for delivery or using unsuitable substitutes that might not fit properly.
• What tools do I need to install this screw? — The socket head design requires only a 1.5mm hexagonal allen key (hex wrench) for installation, a tool that is essential for any RC enthusiast's toolkit and typically supplied with most RC models. Ensure you use the correct size to avoid cam-out and damage to the fastener head.
• Is this genuine FTX or a third-party copy? — This is a genuine FTX socket flat head screw supplied by RC Model Shop as an authorised FTX retailer. Genuine OEM components ensure proper fitment, correct material specification and reliable performance in your RC vehicle, whereas counterfeit or generic alternatives may have subtle dimension variations that cause fitment issues.
• How many screws should I keep as spares? — As fasteners are consumable items subject to loss, damage and wear, we recommend keeping at least 5-10 of the most common sizes in your RC spares box. The M2 X 10mm is a popular size across the FTX range, so having several on hand ensures you're never caught without the right component during a repair session.
• What's the difference between socket head and other screw types? — Socket head (also called hex socket or allen head) screws provide superior tamper resistance, more precise torque control and reduced risk of cam-out compared to phillips or slotted head designs. They also deliver a cleaner aesthetic on finished models, important for scale appearance on display-quality RC vehicles.
