FTX has engineered these countersunk self-tapping screws with meticulous attention to detail, recognising that every component—no matter how small—plays a vital role in the overall performance and reliability of your RC car. The countersunk design allows these screws to sit flush with the chassis and body panels, maintaining the sleek profile of your Tracer monster truck whilst providing secure fastening.

When you purchase RC spares from RC Model Shop, you're investing in genuine, authorised FTX components that meet the manufacturer's exact specifications. These screws are specifically designed to work seamlessly with the FTX Tracer 1/16 scale platform, ensuring perfect fitment and long-lasting performance whether you're maintaining your truck or building it from scratch.
Key Features
- Countersunk Design — The countersunk head sits flush with the surface of chassis and body panels, creating a clean, professional appearance whilst preventing the screw head from protruding and potentially catching debris or damaging the bodywork during high-speed runs or rough terrain bashings.
- Self-Tapping Functionality — These screws create their own thread as they're driven, eliminating the need for pre-drilled holes and making installation faster and easier, whether you're performing routine maintenance or reassembling your RC monster truck after repairs.
- Precise Dimensions — At 2.3mm diameter and 6mm length, these fasteners are engineered to the exact specifications required by the FTX Tracer platform, ensuring perfect fitment in every application without risk of cross-threading or loose connections.
- Genuine FTX OEM Component — These are authorised original equipment manufacturer parts sourced directly from FTX, guaranteeing compatibility and reliability that aftermarket alternatives cannot match.
- Essential Replacement Spares — Given the demanding nature of RC off-road driving, having replacement screws in your spare parts box is crucial for quick repairs and maintenance without waiting for delivery or struggling to find compatible alternatives.
- Compatible with FTX Tracer Range — Specifically designed for the entire FTX Tracer 1/16 RTR Monster Truck lineup, including the Orange (FTX5576O), Red (FTX5576R), and Blue (FTX5576B) variants, as well as bundle versions with additional batteries.
Technical Performance
The FTX TRACER COUNTERSUNK SELF TAPPING KBHO2.3*6MM screws represent FTX's commitment to precision engineering in every component of their RC monster truck lineup. These self-tapping fasteners are manufactured to exacting standards, ensuring they bite securely into plastic and composite materials used throughout the FTX Tracer chassis without stripping or failing under the high-stress conditions experienced during aggressive driving. The 2.3mm diameter provides an optimal balance between holding strength and material compatibility, whilst the 6mm length is precisely calculated to secure critical chassis and suspension components without over-penetrating and causing damage to internal assemblies. The countersunk profile is engineered to work with the corresponding holes in FTX Tracer body panels and chassis parts, creating a flush, streamlined finish that reduces wind resistance and looks professional. Whether you're running your 1/16 scale monster truck on rocky trails, muddy off-road courses, or hard-packed dirt surfaces across the UK, these screws deliver the reliability and durability that RC enthusiasts demand from their spares. The self-tapping nature means you can perform field repairs and maintenance quickly without requiring precision tools or pre-drilled templates, making them indispensable for weekend bashers and serious competitors alike.
