Key Features

- Replacement and Spares — Ideal as replacement fasteners when original screws become damaged, lost or stripped, or as spare parts to keep on hand for maintenance and repairs of your RC vehicles.
- Universal 1/10 Scale Compatibility — Whilst designed for the FMS F100 platform, the M3*24 specification makes these screws applicable across many 1/10 scale RC cars, trucks, buggies and crawlers requiring standard fastening.
