Key Features
- Flange head design — The flange head provides a larger bearing surface than standard screws, distributing load more effectively and reducing the risk of pulling through soft plastic or composite materials commonly used in RC vehicle construction. This design is particularly valuable for secure fastening in high-stress applications on your RC model.
- Precision sizing (3x4x2mm) — These screws are engineered to exact specifications with a 3mm diameter shaft, 4mm flange head width, and 2mm head height, ensuring they fit perfectly into FTX RC vehicle mounting points and assembly locations without modification or forcing.
- Pack of eight screws — The 8-piece quantity provides enough fasteners for complete replacement sets or repairs across multiple assembly areas, making this an economical spare parts solution for UK RC car enthusiasts who want to keep their models in perfect working order.
- Genuine FTX specification — These are authentic FTX-specification fasteners designed specifically for use across the extensive range of FTX RC vehicles, from the popular Outback and Texan ranges through to specialist crawlers and competition models, ensuring complete compatibility.
- Essential maintenance component — As a fundamental spare part, these screws are ideal for drivers who regularly maintain their models, build custom setups, or need reliable replacements after wear, damage, or modification work on their RC vehicles.
Technical Performance
The FTX Flange Head Screw 3x4x2mm represents precision fastening engineering suitable for the demanding requirements of RC vehicle assembly and maintenance. These screws feature the distinctive flange head design that characterises professional-grade RC fastening solutions, offering superior performance compared to standard Phillips or slot-head alternatives. The 3mm diameter provides adequate strength for typical RC applications whilst remaining lightweight—a critical consideration in performance RC engineering where every gram affects handling and acceleration characteristics. The 4mm flange head width and 2mm height create a larger contact area that effectively prevents stripping of plastic mounting points, a common issue in RC vehicles that endure vibration and shock loading during off-road running. The engineering tolerance and material specification ensure these screws resist corrosion and maintain their integrity through repeated assembly and disassembly cycles, essential for hobbyists who regularly service their models. Whether you're running electric RC cars, nitro models, or specialist crawlers on UK terrain, these fasteners deliver the reliability and performance that serious RC enthusiasts expect from genuine OEM components.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What FTX RC models are these screws compatible with? — These FTX Flange Head Screws are designed as genuine spare parts for the extensive range of FTX RC vehicles available in the UK market. Compatibility spans the full FTX catalogue including the popular Outback series, Texan models, crawler variants, and specialist off-road vehicles. If you own an FTX RC car, buggy, crawler, or truck, these screws will likely have applications in your model's assembly. We recommend checking your vehicle's manual or contacting our expert team at RC Model Shop if you're uncertain about compatibility with your specific FTX model.
- Why should I buy genuine FTX spare parts rather than generic fasteners? — Genuine FTX spare parts like these screws are engineered to exact specifications matching your vehicle's design and assembly requirements. Using authentic OEM fasteners ensures perfect fit, optimal performance, and maintains the structural integrity of your RC model. Generic screws may vary in dimension, material quality, or finish, potentially causing fitment issues or premature failure under the vibration and load stresses experienced during RC driving. As an authorised FTX retailer, RC Model Shop stocks only genuine components, guaranteeing you receive fasteners that meet FTX's exacting standards.
- How many screws will I need for a complete repair or build? — The quantity required depends entirely on your specific project or repair needs. This pack of eight screws is ideal for complete replacement sets in areas where these fasteners are used, or for building up a comprehensive spare parts collection for regular maintenance and repairs. Many RC enthusiasts purchase multiple packs to maintain a well-stocked workshop, ensuring they always have the right components on hand when repairs are needed. The affordable price makes it practical to keep several packs in your RC toolkit.
- Are these screws suitable for beginners building their first FTX model? — These are spare parts intended for replacement and maintenance rather than initial assembly kits, so they're primarily suited to experienced builders or those performing maintenance on existing FTX vehicles. However, beginners interested in understanding RC model assembly will find these screws useful for learning about fastening systems and component replacement. If you're building an FTX ready-to-run RC car from scratch, consult your vehicle's assembly guide to understand where these screws are used and how to install them correctly.
- Can these screws be used with different FTX vehicle types? — Yes, these flange head screws 3x4x2mm are general-purpose spare parts used across multiple FTX vehicle categories including off-road buggies, crawlers, stadium trucks, and scale models. The versatility of this fastener size makes it valuable for any FTX owner looking to maintain a comprehensive spare parts inventory that covers multiple vehicles or projects.
