If you own any FTX ready to run RC car or are building an FTX roller chassis, keeping a stock of these essential fasteners is simply good practice for uninterrupted hobby time.
Key Features
- M3 Thread Size — The M3 metric thread specification ensures perfect compatibility with the threaded holes found throughout FTX RC vehicles, providing reliable engagement without stripping or cross-threading when installed correctly with appropriate tools.
- 10mm Length — The 10mm length specification is precision-calculated to penetrate the correct depth across numerous FTX assembly points, ensuring sufficient thread engagement whilst avoiding bottoming out or interfering with internal components.
- Flat Head Design — The countersunk flat head profile sits flush with the surface of body panels and chassis components, maintaining the clean lines of your RC car's aesthetic whilst reducing potential snagging or catching during high-speed runs.
- Hex Socket Driver — The hexagonal socket design accommodates standard hex key tools, enabling quick and secure installation without the fastener slipping or damaging the recess, which is particularly important during frequent maintenance.
- Black Finish — The black powder coating provides subtle aesthetics whilst offering baseline corrosion resistance, helping these fasteners maintain their appearance and functionality through normal outdoor RC use including exposure to damp grass and light moisture.
- Pack of Five — Each pack contains five individual screws, giving you multiple spares to cover potential losses, breakages, or repairs without needing to purchase in bulk or wait for repeat orders.
Technical Performance

Manufactured to original equipment specifications, these machine thread screws feature a countersunk flat head profile that delivers flush surface mounting across chassis plates, body mounts, and internal structural components. The M3 metric thread diameter and 10mm overall length provide the exact specifications required for numerous assembly points throughout FTX RC cars, from the Banzai and Bugsta to the Carnage 2.0 and Vantage 2.0 models. The hexagonal socket driver style enables efficient installation with standard hex key tools, reducing installation time during maintenance whilst ensuring consistent torque application without fastener slippage. The black finish provides durable corrosion resistance suitable for both indoor track racing and outdoor bashing scenarios where RC vehicles encounter grass, moisture, and environmental contaminants.

Hand tools suitable for small-scale fastening are recommended, avoiding excessive torque that could damage the screw head or the threaded hole.
- Why should I choose FTX genuine parts over generic metric fasteners? — Whilst generic M3 fasteners might fit, FTX genuine parts are engineered and tested for the specific structural requirements, torque specifications, and assembly points of FTX vehicles. Using genuine parts eliminates compatibility risks, maintains warranty coverage where applicable, and ensures your RC car performs reliably without hidden weak points.
