Frequently Asked Questions
- What is a step screw and why would I need one for my RC car? — A step screw is a fastener with a distinctive stepped or shouldered profile that sits flush in specific mounting holes and provides superior clamping force distribution. In RC vehicles, step screws are used in critical assembly points including suspension mounts, body post assemblies, and transmission components. They're preferred over standard screws because the stepped design prevents over-tightening that could strip plastic components, whilst simultaneously providing a secure hold that resists vibration-induced loosening during dynamic driving conditions.
- Are these compatible with my FTX Texan 1/10 RC crawler? — Yes, the FTX Step Screw (4pc) FTX9868 is specifically designed for the FTX Texan and works across the entire FTX model range. The Texan and other FTX off-road crawlers use step screws throughout their chassis, suspension, and body assembly, making this genuine replacement pack an essential spare.
- Can I use these step screws with other RC brands? — Whilst these are genuine FTX fasteners engineered specifically for FTX vehicles, some other RC brands may use compatible screw sizes. However, we recommend using manufacturer-specified fasteners to ensure proper fit, thread engagement, and assembly integrity. For non-FTX vehicles, consult your vehicle's manual or contact your RC retailer for appropriate replacement parts.
- How many step screws do I get in this pack? — This pack contains four (4) individual step screws, providing multiple spares for different repair and maintenance applications. If you need additional step screws beyond this four-piece pack, you can order multiple packs to build up your spares inventory.
- Should I keep step screws in my pit box? — Absolutely. Keeping a stock of genuine replacement fasteners like these step screws in your pit box or tool bag is essential maintenance practice for any serious RC enthusiast. Stripped or lost screws can prevent you from completing repairs in the field, and having spares ensures you can get back to driving quickly with properly fastened components.
- What models does the FTX Step Screw work with? — These genuine FTX fasteners are compatible across the entire FTX catalogue, including popular models such as the FTX Texan, FTX Outback, FTX Outback 2.0, FTX Outback Fury, FTX Outback Fury XC, FTX Ranger XC, FTX Mauler, FTX Kanyon, FTX Siege, FTX Ravine, FTX Vantage, FTX Tracer, FTX Stinger, FTX Outlaw, FTX Havok, FTX Hooligan, and numerous other FTX rock crawlers, buggies, and off-road vehicles across various scales.
