Key Features
- M4x10mm Thread Specification — These screws feature a precise M4 thread diameter with a 10mm length, engineered to fit perfectly into the mounting points and fastening locations on FTX Zorro Trophy Truck models and compatible variants. The exact sizing ensures a proper fit without wobbling or stripping.
- Self-Tapping Design — The self-tapping mechanism means these screws can cut their own threads into softer materials, making installation faster and easier without the need for pre-drilled holes. This feature is particularly valuable during field repairs when you need to get your RC car UK back in action quickly.
- Flat Head Profile — The countersunk flat head design sits flush with the surface it's fastened to, providing a clean, professional appearance and preventing snags or interference with other components. This design is especially important on RC vehicles where aerodynamics and smooth surfaces matter.
- Hex Socket Driver — The hex socket design allows for secure gripping and turning with a hex key or Allen wrench, providing superior torque application compared to slotted alternatives. This means less slippage, fewer stripped screws, and more reliable fastening on your ready to run RC model.
- Black Finish — The black colour provides corrosion resistance and a professional appearance that matches the aesthetic of modern RC vehicles. The finish also helps protect the steel from rust and degradation caused by exposure to dirt, water, and outdoor elements.
- Six-Piece Pack — This convenient pack of six screws provides enough spares for multiple repairs, maintenance tasks, or upgrades. Having multiple screws on hand means you're prepared for common fastener failures without needing to reorder for every small repair.
- OEM Quality — These are genuine FTX parts manufactured to original equipment manufacturer specifications, ensuring compatibility and reliability. Using genuine spare parts is always recommended for maintaining the performance and value of your RC investment.
- Machine Thread Construction — Built with machine thread precision, these screws offer consistent performance and reliable engagement with threaded holes, ensuring secure fastening that won't loosen under the vibrations and impacts of RC driving.
Technical Performance

Frequently Asked Questions
- What vehicles are these FTX M4x10mm screws compatible with? — These screws are specifically designed for FTX Zorro Trophy Truck models, including the brushless RTR version in orange (FTX5557WO) and the nitro RTR versions in both blue (FTX5542B) and orange (FTX5542O). If you own any of these FTX ready to run RC models, these spares will fit perfectly.
- Why would I need replacement screws for my RC car UK? — RC vehicles experience constant vibration, impacts, and stress during driving. Fasteners can occasionally loosen, strip, or break, especially during aggressive driving or off-road bashing. Having spare screws ensures you can complete quick repairs without ordering delays, keeping your brushless RC truck or nitro model in action.
- What does self-tapping mean and why does it matter? — Self-tapping screws cut their own threads into softer materials like plastic or aluminium as they're inserted. This eliminates the need to pre-drill holes and makes installation faster during field repairs. For RC enthusiasts, this means quicker maintenance and repairs when you're away from your workbench.
- Are these genuine FTX spare parts? — Yes, these are genuine OEM FTX parts manufactured to original specifications. Using authentic spare parts ensures perfect fit, reliable performance, and maintains the value and warranty status of your FTX ready to run RC model.
- How many screws come in each pack? — Each pack contains six M4x10mm flat head hex screws, providing enough spares for multiple repairs or maintenance tasks before you need to reorder.
- What is the flat head design and why is it important? — The flat head, or countersunk, design sits flush with the surface rather than protruding. On RC vehicles, this prevents the screw from snagging on other components, maintains aerodynamic surfaces, and provides a cleaner appearance.
- Can I use these screws on other RC vehicles? — While these screws are designed specifically for FTX Zorro models, the M4x10mm specification means they may fit other RC vehicles with matching threaded holes. However, we recommend using vehicle-specific spare parts for optimal compatibility and performance.
