Technical Performance

The FTX Flat Head Hex Screw M4 x 16mm represents precision engineering at the component level, delivering the kind of fastening reliability that separates quality RC vehicles from inferior competitors. The M4 metric thread specification is a standard across professional RC engineering, providing a balance between clamping force and ease of installation. The 16mm length is carefully calculated to accommodate FTX vehicle designs without over-threading or creating performance issues. These screws are manufactured from quality steel with appropriate finishes to resist corrosion and oxidation, critical considerations for RC vehicles that are regularly exposed to outdoor elements, moisture from grass and terrain, and the occasional water crossing. The flat head design provides multiple engineering advantages: it maximises contact surface area against the mounting component, it creates a flush finish that doesn't protrude and catch on surrounding parts, and it distributes load more effectively than traditional pan head designs. When using these hex screws on your RC car, RC crawler, or RC buggy, you're benefiting from decades of RC engineering expertise built into every fastener. The hex socket head ensures positive tool engagement, eliminating the risk of stripping that can occur with lower-quality fastening solutions. Whether you're performing routine maintenance, replacing worn components, or undertaking a complete vehicle rebuild, these screws deliver the performance and reliability that dedicated RC hobbyists throughout the UK demand from their equipment.
