Overview
The FTX Rokatan Round Head Cross Screw M3x12 (FTX10185) is an essential spare part for RC enthusiasts maintaining and upgrading their FTX scale models. Whether you're a dedicated RC car UK collector, a weekend basher, or someone serious about keeping your RC vehicles in peak condition, having quality replacement fasteners on hand is crucial for uninterrupted performance. This precision-engineered screw is specifically designed to work seamlessly with FTX Rokatan models and compatible platforms, ensuring proper fitment and reliability every time you need to perform maintenance, repairs, or upgrades.
As a spare part from FTX, one of the leading manufacturers of ready to run RC cars and trucks, this M3x12 round head cross screw meets the exacting standards required for professional-grade RC vehicles. The cross-head design (also known as Phillips head) provides excellent grip and torque transfer, reducing the risk of stripping during installation and removal. This is particularly important in the world of RC hobby racing and recreational use, where repeated assembly and disassembly of components is part of normal ownership. Having genuine FTX fasteners ensures compatibility with your specific model and maintains the structural integrity of your vehicle.
The M3x12 specification refers to a 3-millimetre diameter screw with a 12-millimetre length, a size commonly used throughout FTX's range of electric RC buggies, trucks, and crawlers. Whether you're building up an FTX Apache 2.0 Trophy Truck, maintaining a Ramraider Monster Truck, or working on any other FTX platform in your collection, these fasteners are fundamental components that keep everything secure and functioning correctly. Stock several packs to ensure you always have replacements available when needed.
Key Features
- M3x12 Precision Size — The M3x12 specification ensures this screw fits precisely into the designated mounting points on compatible FTX vehicles, preventing loose components and maintaining structural integrity during use.
- Round Head Design — The round head profile sits flush with the surface it's mounted to, providing a neat, professional appearance whilst protecting the screw head from impact damage during rough play or racing.
- Cross-Head Socket — The Phillips head cross-drive pattern grips securely in your screwdriver, allowing controlled torque application without stripping the screw head or damaging surrounding components.
- Genuine FTX Component — Manufactured to FTX's original specifications, this fastener guarantees compatibility with FTX Rokatan and related RC models, ensuring perfect fitment every time.
- Durable Construction — Built to withstand the vibration, impacts, and environmental conditions encountered during both casual RC car UK driving and competitive racing scenarios.
- Essential Spare — Fasteners are consumable items in the RC hobby; having multiple replacements ensures you can complete maintenance and repairs without delays.
Technical Performance
The FTX Rokatan Round Head Cross Screw M3x12 is engineered to exacting standards befitting its role as a critical fastening component in precision-built RC vehicles. With a nominal diameter of 3 millimetres and a length of 12 millimetres, this fastener is sized specifically for the FTX platform ecosystem, ensuring optimal thread engagement and load distribution across mounting points. The round head design distributes clamping force over a wider surface area compared to flat-head alternatives, reducing the risk of pulling through softer plastic or composite materials common in RC vehicle chassis and body panels. The cross-head drive pattern, when properly engaged with a correctly-sized Phillips screwdriver or hex bit (depending on your tool choice), transmits torque efficiently whilst minimising the risk of cam-out, which is the primary cause of stripped fasteners in RC maintenance scenarios. The material composition of genuine FTX fasteners is selected to resist corrosion and maintain mechanical properties even when exposed to moisture, dirt, and the various cleaning chemicals used by RC enthusiasts. Whether you're reassembling your vehicle after a muddy off-road session, performing mid-season maintenance, or building up new models, having genuine OEM fasteners in your spares box demonstrates a commitment to proper RC vehicle care and longevity.
