Key Features
- M2 Thread Size — These screws feature an M2 metric thread specification, which is the exact size required for multiple assembly points on the FTX Outback Geo 4x4 4WD crawler, ensuring perfect fitment without the risk of cross-threading or damage to component threads.
- 5mm Length — The 5mm length is specifically designed to work with the panel thicknesses and assembly depths found throughout the Outback Geo 4x4 chassis and body, providing sufficient engagement without protruding excessively.
- Cap Head Design — The cap head profile provides a clean, finished appearance whilst offering a larger contact surface for hex driver tools, which helps prevent tool slip and cam-out damage during installation and removal.
- Machine Thread Specification — These are precision machine-threaded screws rather than wood or self-tapping variants, ensuring they work with the pre-threaded holes throughout the Outback Geo 4x4 chassis for consistent, reliable fastening.
- Black Finish — The black coating provides corrosion resistance and a professional appearance that matches the overall finish quality of authentic FTX parts and the vehicle's components.
- Pack of 16 Units — The generous quantity of 16 screws in this pack means you have multiple spares for replacement, repair work, and future maintenance, reducing the need for frequent reordering.
- Genuine FTX Original Parts — These are authentic manufacturer parts designed and approved by FTX, guaranteeing dimensional accuracy, material quality, and performance consistency that aftermarket alternatives cannot match.
Technical Performance
These M2 x 5mm cap head screws are engineered to the highest standards of precision that FTX applies to all their genuine replacement parts. The metric M2 specification refers to a 2mm outer diameter with machine threads, which is a standard sizing across the FTX range of crawlers and scale RC vehicles. The 5mm length has been calculated specifically to work with the panel assembly thicknesses found on the Outback Geo 4x4, whether you're assembling body panels, securing battery mounts, mounting bumper components, or securing various internal chassis brackets. The machine thread design means these screws are intended for use with pre-drilled and pre-threaded holes, making installation straightforward and reliable. The cap head configuration offers superior strength compared to pan-head alternatives, and the large contact area makes them less prone to slip-out during tightening. The black finish not only looks professional but also provides a layer of protection against corrosion and oxidation, which is particularly important if your RC 4x4 is regularly used in outdoor environments or exposed to moisture. With 16 screws per pack, you have adequate spares to cover multiple assembly sessions or to build up a proper maintenance stock.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What is the FTX Outback Geo 4x4 and why would I need replacement screws? — The FTX Outback Geo 4x4 is a highly detailed 1/10 scale 4WD RC rock crawler known for its impressive scale appearance and serious off-road capabilities. During regular use, maintenance, repairs, and modifications, fasteners like these M2 x 5mm screws can become damaged, stripped, or lost. Having genuine replacement screws ensures you can maintain your vehicle to manufacturer standards.
- Are these screws compatible with other FTX models? — Whilst these screws are specifically listed for the FTX Outback Geo 4x4, M2 x 5mm cap head machine screws may be used across other FTX models that feature similar assembly requirements. However, you should always verify compatibility with your specific model before ordering, as each model has unique specifications.
- What tools do I need to install these screws? — Cap head screws require a hex driver or hex wrench tool that fits the internal hex socket in the screw head. You should use the appropriately sized hex key to avoid stripping the screw head. A cordless drill or powered screwdriver with a hex bit adapter can speed up installation on larger projects.
- How many screws should I order for a rebuild? — A complete rebuild of the Outback Geo 4x4 might require multiple packs depending on which components you're assembling. With 16 screws per pack, one pack provides spares for a typical maintenance session. If you're doing a full chassis rebuild, you may wish to order multiple packs to ensure you have sufficient stock.
- Can I use aftermarket screws instead of genuine FTX parts? — Whilst cheaper aftermarket fasteners might fit, genuine FTX screws are engineered to exact specifications for durability and reliability. Aftermarket parts may have inconsistent threading, inferior material quality, or slight dimensional variations that could cause fitment issues or premature failure.
- Is this suitable for beginners? — Yes, absolutely. Replacing fasteners is one of the most fundamental maintenance tasks in RC car ownership. Even complete beginners can manage screw replacement with basic tools and a little patience. This is an excellent starter maintenance task.
- What is the difference between cap head and other screw types? — Cap head screws have a cylindrical head with an internal hex socket and provide excellent strength and appearance. Pan head screws have a shallower profile. Button head screws have a domed appearance. Socket head cap screws are designed for different applications. Each type suits specific uses depending on space constraints and load requirements.
