Key Features
- Genuine FTX Manufacturer Specification — These cap head hex screws are designed and manufactured to exact FTX specifications, ensuring perfect compatibility with all compatible FTX RC models including the FTX Texan and FTX Outback range. Using genuine parts maintains the integrity of your vehicle and ensures optimal performance and reliability.
- Precision Engineering — Each screw is machined to exacting tolerances with a 2.5mm diameter, 11mm length, and 2mm hex head, providing a secure fit in all designated fastening points on your RC vehicle. The precision fit prevents loosening and ensures components remain firmly attached during aggressive driving conditions.
- Durable Construction — Cap head hex screws are engineered for durability and strength, designed to withstand the vibrations, impacts and stresses of RC driving without stripping or breaking. This robust construction ensures long-lasting performance through countless driving sessions.
- Eight-Piece Pack — This generous eight-piece pack provides ample fasteners for repairs, replacements, and upgrades. Having multiple spare fasteners means you can complete several repairs or restoration projects without repeatedly ordering, keeping your RC hobby progressing smoothly.

The enclosed head design provides a clean, professional appearance and offers better protection from dirt ingress and corrosion compared to open slot designs.

Technical Performance
The FTX Cap Head Hex Screw 2.5 X 11 X 2mm represents a fundamental but essential component in the RC vehicle ecosystem. These fasteners are engineered from quality materials to provide the structural integrity required in modern RC cars, buggies, crawlers and trucks. The 2.5mm diameter provides an excellent balance between strength and weight, whilst the 11mm overall length positions the screw precisely for use in multiple locations across FTX chassis designs. The 2mm hex head socket is optimally sized to work with standard RC tool sets, preventing stripping whilst providing sufficient engagement for secure tightening. The cap head design distributes clamping force effectively across components, preventing surface damage that can occur with inferior fastening methods. Each screw in this eight-piece pack maintains consistent quality control standards, ensuring reliable performance whether you're replacing a single fastener or rebuilding multiple assemblies. Whether you're maintaining a well-used RC crawler, refreshing suspension components, or undertaking a complete rebuild of your FTX vehicle, these fasteners deliver the reliability and durability expected from genuine manufacturer parts.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Are these screws compatible with all FTX RC models? — These screws are designed to FTX manufacturer specifications and are compatible with multiple FTX models including the FTX Texan range and FTX Outback series. However, specific compatibility depends on your exact model. We recommend checking your vehicle's spare parts diagram or contacting our expert team at RC Model Shop to confirm compatibility with your specific RC car UK setup.
- How often should I replace these fasteners? — With normal use, quality cap head hex screws should last indefinitely if properly maintained. However, they may require replacement if stripped, corroded, or lost during driving sessions. Regular inspection of your RC vehicle's fasteners ensures you catch any wear before components become loose or fail. This is especially important for off-road RC cars and crawlers that experience significant vibration and impact.
- What tools do I need to install these screws? — Installation requires only a 2mm hex wrench or driver, which is a standard component of most RC tool kits. This simple requirement means you can quickly replace or install these fasteners without needing specialist equipment, making maintenance of your RC hobby straightforward and hassle-free.
- Can I use aftermarket screws instead of genuine FTX parts? — Whilst some aftermarket fasteners may physically fit, using genuine FTX parts ensures you have fasteners engineered to the exact specifications your vehicle requires. Genuine parts provide consistent quality, proper material composition, and perfect dimensional accuracy. For critical applications in RC vehicles, particularly those used for racing or competitive driving, genuine manufacturer parts provide the reliability and performance you depend on.
- Why do I need spare fasteners? — During normal RC driving, particularly in off-road conditions, fasteners can become loose, corroded, or lost. Having spare fasteners on hand means you can quickly make repairs and get back to enjoying your RC hobby without delays. Whether you're maintaining a ready to run RC car or a custom build, having quality spares ensures you're never held up by missing components.
