Technical Performance
The FMS Button Head Pointer Screw ST3*28 represents precision engineering at the component level. The button head design offers several advantages over traditional pan-head or countersunk fasteners: the rounded profile distributes pressure more evenly across the mounting surface, reducing the risk of stripping or damaging plastic components common in RC car construction. The ST3 thread specification indicates a small-diameter, high-precision thread pattern specifically designed for the lightweight materials used in 1:10 scale RC chassis and body panels. At 28mm in length, this screw is calibrated for the specific depth requirements of F100 mounting points, ensuring secure fastening without over-tightening into plastic threads. The material composition and heat treatment of genuine FMS fasteners meets strict OEM standards, providing superior corrosion resistance and thread integrity compared to generic hardware store alternatives. For RC enthusiasts who regularly maintain and repair their models, having authentic component-level spares ensures that repairs maintain factory quality and performance standards.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Is this screw compatible with my FMS F100 RC car? — Yes, this is an OEM part specifically manufactured for the FMS 1:10 F100 model. The ST3*28 specification is designed for precise fit in the F100's chassis and body mounting points.
- Why should I buy genuine FMS spares instead of generic fasteners? — Genuine FMS parts are manufactured to exact OEM specifications and quality standards. Generic fasteners may have slightly different thread pitches, materials, or dimensions that can cause poor fit, stripped threads, or damage to your RC car's plastic components. Using authentic parts preserves the integrity of your model and ensures reliable performance.
- How many screws do I need? — This listing includes a single screw. Depending on your repair or maintenance needs, you may wish to purchase multiple units. The F100 uses numerous fasteners throughout its chassis and body, so keeping several spares on hand is a sensible approach for regular RC car enthusiasts in the UK.
- What makes a button head screw different from other fastener types? — The button head design features a low-profile, rounded cap that sits flush with or slightly above the mounting surface. This profile looks cleaner and more professional than pan-head or machine-head screws, whilst distributing fastening pressure more evenly across plastic components to prevent damage.
- Can I use this screw in other parts of my F100 or other FMS models? — Whilst this screw is specifically engineered for the F100, it may be compatible with other FMS models that use the same ST3 thread specification. However, for optimal results and to avoid potential fit issues, it's best to verify compatibility with your specific model before installation. Always consult your F100 manual for the correct fastener specifications for each mounting location.
- Is this suitable for beginners to RC hobbies? — Spare fasteners like this are essential for anyone operating RC cars UK, from complete beginners to experienced competitors.
