Stock a pack of these 2x6mm button head fasteners in your RC maintenance kit and you'll be prepared for virtually any FTX MK2RS setup or repair scenario.

Key Features

• Self-Tapping Design — These screws cut their own threads into softer materials as they're driven in, eliminating the need for pre-drilled pilot holes and making installation faster and easier during your RC car build, repair or upgrade work.
• Button Head Profile — The distinctive button head style provides a clean, professional appearance whilst offering excellent surface contact and grip strength, making these screws ideal for visible mounting points on your rally car or other FTX RC vehicles.
• Precise Sizing — At 2x6mm dimensions, these fasteners are engineered to exact FTX specifications for perfect fitment in all designated mounting locations on the FTX MK2RS and compatible FTX RC models.
• OEM Quality — These are genuine FTX original parts, manufactured to the same standards used in factory-built ready-to-run RC cars, guaranteeing reliability and compatibility with your specific model.
• Essential Spares — Having backup fasteners is crucial for any serious RC enthusiast, whether you're replacing worn screws, experimenting with different configurations, or building multiple RC cars for UK competition.
• Wide Compatibility — Specifically designed for FTX MK2RS models in both black (FTX5470BK) and white (FTX5470W) variants, these screws integrate seamlessly with all standard FTX MK2RS components and assemblies.

Technical Performance

The FTX Button Head Self-Tapping Screw 2x6mm represents precision engineering in fastener design. These screws are manufactured from high-strength material capable of withstanding the vibration, torque and stress inherent in high-performance 1/10th scale brushless RC rally cars. The self-tapping design means that as you drive the screw into softer materials such as plastic body mounts, servo trays, and composite chassis components, the screw cuts its own helical thread path, creating a permanent hold without requiring pre-preparation. This engineering approach is particularly valuable in RC car construction where weight saving is critical and adding hardware for thread inserts would be impractical. The 2x6mm specification ensures these fasteners mate perfectly with the tapped holes and mounting points engineered into the FTX MK2RS platform. Whether you're assembling a fresh-out-of-the-box brushless rally car or performing mid-season maintenance on your competition vehicle, these button head screws deliver the reliability expected from factory OEM components. The button head design, with its slightly domed profile, provides excellent load distribution across the screw head and prevents the head from sinking into softer materials, protecting your RC car's finish and structural integrity. For UK RC enthusiasts running electric brushless powertrains and demanding more from their FTX MK2RS vehicles, maintaining a stock of quality replacement fasteners is simply good practice.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Are these button head screws compatible with my FTX MK2RS rally car? — Yes, absolutely. These FTX11363 screws are specifically engineered for the FTX MK2RS 1/10th brushless rally car in both black (FTX5470BK) and white (FTX5470W) variants. They are genuine OEM parts that match the factory specifications precisely, ensuring perfect fitment and compatibility with all standard FTX MK2RS mounting points and assemblies.
• What makes self-tapping screws better than standard screws for RC cars? — Self-tapping screws offer several advantages for RC car builds. They cut their own threads as they're driven in, eliminating the need for pre-drilled pilot holes or thread inserts. This saves time during assembly and repair, reduces weight by avoiding metal inserts, and allows for quick modifications. For 1/10th scale electric RC cars where precision and weight distribution matter, self-tapping fasteners offer the ideal balance of strength and convenience.
• Why should I keep spare FTX fasteners in my RC maintenance kit? — Regular RC car use inevitably leads to fasteners loosening, corroding, or occasionally stripping. Having genuine FTX replacement screws on hand means you can perform immediate repairs without waiting for parts to arrive, keeping your brushless rally car race-ready. Spare fasteners are also essential when experimenting with different mounting configurations, hop-ups, or body modifications. Any serious RC enthusiast running FTX models in the UK should maintain a stock of common fasteners.
• How do self-tapping screws compare to pre-threaded holes? — Self-tapping screws create permanent threads within the material itself as they're installed, whereas pre-threaded holes require either pilot holes or metal thread inserts. For RC car applications where weight saving is critical and ease of assembly is important, self-tapping fasteners like these 2x6mm button head screws offer the optimal solution. They're particularly valued on composite materials and plastic components common in 1/10th scale RC vehicles.
• Can these screws be reused multiple times? — Like most self-tapping fasteners, these screws can be removed and reinstalled several times before the thread grip becomes unreliable. If you find a screw loosening repeatedly, it's time to replace it with a fresh fastener to maintain secure assembly. This is why keeping spare FTX screws readily available is smart practice for anyone running FTX RC cars.
• What size tools do I need to install these screws? — The button head of these 2x6mm screws accepts a Phillips head screwdriver or similar bit. Always use the correctly-sized screwdriver to avoid stripping the screw head and damaging your RC car's components. A quality RC-specific tool set will include the appropriate bits for working with FTX fasteners.
