Key Features
- Genuine FTX OEM Spare Parts — These screws are manufactured by FTX to exact factory specifications, guaranteeing perfect compatibility with your FTX Zorro Trophy Truck and ensuring that all components fit together precisely without gaps or looseness that could cause vibration or part failure during operation.
- M3x40mm Machine Thread Design — The M3 size with 40mm length is specifically engineered for FTX Zorro applications, providing the ideal balance between holding strength and material efficiency that ensures secure assembly without over-tightening or stripping the threads.
- Countersunk Flat Head Profile — The flat head design sits flush with the surface of your RC car components, creating a smooth finish that improves aerodynamics, reduces snags, and provides a professional appearance befitting a quality RC machine.
- Hex Socket Driver Type — The hex socket design allows for precise engagement with standard hex drivers and wrenches, providing better grip and control during installation and removal compared to traditional Phillips or slot drives, which reduces the risk of stripping the screw head.
- Black Finish — The black colour coating provides corrosion resistance and a consistent aesthetic appearance across your RC truck, maintaining the professional look of your FTX Zorro even after multiple builds and rebuilds.
- Pack of Six Pieces — Six screws per pack gives you enough to complete most repairs and upgrades on your FTX Zorro Trophy Truck, with spares available for future maintenance or to build additional component sets.
- Universal FTX Zorro Compatibility — These screws work with multiple FTX Zorro Trophy Truck variants, including the FTX5557WO Zorro Trophy Truck Brushless RTR in Orange, the FTX5542O Zorro Nitro Trophy Truck RTR in Orange, and the FTX5542B Zorro Nitro Trophy Truck RTR in Blue, making them an essential multi-model spare.
Technical Performance
The FTX ZORRO FLAT HEAD HEX SCREW M3X40MM represents the kind of precision fastening engineering that separates quality RC vehicles from budget alternatives. The M3 diameter provides optimal clamping force for the composite and aluminium materials used throughout FTX Zorro Trophy Trucks, whilst the 40mm length positions these screws perfectly for mid-chassis and frame assembly applications common to this model line. Machine thread construction ensures reliable engagement with threaded holes without requiring separate nuts, streamlining assembly and reducing overall part count. The countersunk flat head profile is particularly important for RC applications, as it eliminates raised fastener heads that could catch on terrain during high-speed running or rock crawling, potentially causing your RC truck to snag or flip unexpectedly. The hex socket design provides significant advantages over traditional Phillips or slot drive screws, offering better torque transmission and dramatically reduced risk of cam-out or head stripping during installation and removal. The black finish provides baseline corrosion resistance suitable for both on-road and off-road RC use, protecting the steel construction from rust and maintaining the mechanical integrity of your fastened joints through repeated use cycles. Whether you're maintaining your FTX Zorro after intensive weekend bashing or preparing your RC truck for competition, these fasteners deliver the reliability and precision that FTX customers have come to expect.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What FTX Zorro models are compatible with these M3x40mm screws? — These screws are specifically designed for FTX Zorro Trophy Truck models including the FTX5557WO Zorro Trophy Truck Brushless RTR in Orange, FTX5542O Zorro Nitro Trophy Truck RTR in Orange, and FTX5542B Zorro Nitro Trophy Truck RTR in Blue. Always verify the specific application on your model before installation to ensure proper fit and function.
- Why should I choose genuine FTX spare parts over generic fasteners? — Genuine OEM FTX spare parts are manufactured to the exact specifications and tolerances required by the engineers who designed your RC truck, ensuring perfect fit, reliable performance, and longevity. Generic fasteners may vary in dimensions, material composition, and finish, potentially causing poor fitment, unreliable clamping, or premature failure that could lead to component loss during operation.
- Can I use these screws on other RC car models? — Whilst M3x40mm fasteners are relatively common across the RC hobby, these screws are specifically engineered for FTX Zorro Trophy Trucks. Using them on other models may result in improper fitment or assembly issues. Always consult your specific vehicle's manual or contact RC Model Shop for compatibility confirmation before purchasing for alternative models.
- How often should I replace these screws? — Under normal use, these fasteners should last for many rebuild cycles. However, if you notice any damage to the hex socket, stripped threads, or bent shafts during maintenance, replacement is recommended to maintain the structural integrity and safety of your RC truck. Keeping spare screws on hand is a smart practice for any serious RC enthusiast.
- What tools do I need to install these screws? — You'll need a hex driver or hex key (Allen key) of the appropriate size to fit the M3 socket. A cordless drill or impact driver with a hex socket bit attachment is recommended for faster installation, though manual hex drivers work perfectly well for maintenance and small repair jobs.
- Are these screws suitable for beginners? — Yes, absolutely. These are standard replacement fasteners that any RC enthusiast can install with basic tools. If you're new to RC maintenance, installing and removing screws is one of the fundamental skills you'll develop, and these genuine FTX parts provide the reliability you need whilst you're learning.
