FTX Tracer Countersunk Self Tapping Screws KBHO 2.3x12mm Pack of 12 FTX9757

Overview

The FTX Tracer Countersunk Self Tapping KBHO 2.3x12mm screws are precision-engineered fasteners designed specifically for the FTX Tracer 1/16 RTR Monster Truck. These self-tapping screws represent an essential component in RC car maintenance and repair, allowing you to securely fasten various parts of your truck with confidence. Whether you're a seasoned RC enthusiast in the UK or someone just getting started with their first ready-to-run RC monster truck, having the correct replacement fasteners on hand is crucial for keeping your vehicle in peak condition.

Self-tapping screws are particularly valuable in RC hobby applications because they create their own threads as they're driven into pre-drilled holes, eliminating the need for separate threading operations. This makes them ideal for securing plastic and composite components that are commonly found throughout the FTX Tracer chassis and body. The countersunk head design ensures a flush finish when installed, maintaining the aesthetic integrity of your RC truck whilst providing a secure mechanical connection. This pack contains 12 individual screws, giving you plenty of spares for maintenance, repairs, or customisation projects.

The FTX Tracer has become one of the most popular 1/16 scale monster trucks available to RC enthusiasts across the UK, known for its impressive durability and out-of-the-box performance. To keep your Tracer running smoothly and looking its best, you'll need access to genuine OEM spare parts like these countersunk self-tapping screws. RC Model Shop stocks the complete range of FTX Tracer spares and hop-up parts, ensuring you can maintain and upgrade your truck whenever you need to.

Technical Performance

The FTX Tracer Countersunk Self Tapping KBHO 2.3x12mm screws represent precision fastening solutions engineered for the demanding requirements of RC car ownership and maintenance. The 2.3mm diameter provides an ideal balance between holding power and the material thickness of composite components used throughout the Tracer's chassis and bodywork. At 12mm in length, these screws penetrate sufficiently into mounting bosses and threaded inserts without protruding excessively, maintaining the tight, professional appearance that characterises well-maintained RC trucks. The self-tapping feature means you can work with pre-drilled holes without requiring separate threading operations, saving time during repairs and allowing even newer RC enthusiasts to undertake maintenance with confidence. The countersunk head profile ensures that once installed, the screw sits flush with the surface, which is particularly important on visible areas of the Tracer's body and chassis where protruding fasteners could detract from appearance or potentially catch on obstacles during off-road running. These genuine OEM parts from FTX maintain the exact engineering specifications required for safe and reliable operation of your 1/16 scale monster truck.

This design is particularly important on RC trucks where protruding screws could catch on obstacles, damage bodywork, or interfere with other components during use.
• How often will I need replacement screws for my Tracer? — The frequency of screw replacement depends on how heavily you use your FTX Tracer. Casual weekend runners may rarely need replacements, whilst competitive enthusiasts or those who bash frequently in rough terrain may need to service fasteners regularly. Having spare packs like this 12-pack ensures you're always prepared for maintenance, repairs, or rebuilds.
• Are these genuine FTX parts or aftermarket alternatives? — These are genuine OEM FTX factory parts manufactured to exact specifications for the Tracer platform. Using authentic OEM fasteners ensures perfect fitment, reliable performance, and maintains the integrity of your truck's assembly.
• What makes the 2.3x12mm size important? — The 2.3mm diameter provides appropriate holding power for RC components without being oversized, whilst the 12mm length allows sufficient penetration into mounting points without excessive protrusion.
