Key Features
- Socket Head Hex Drive Design — The socket head configuration with integrated hex drive provides a secure and reliable connection that resists rounding when used with the correct hex driver tool. This design is crucial for RC applications where vibration and constant stress from driving can cause fasteners to loosen, as the socket head ensures maximum contact area and grip strength compared to traditional slotted or Phillips head alternatives.
- M3 Thread Specification — The M3 metric thread size is the industry standard for precision RC car components, selected by Team Associated engineers for optimal strength-to-weight ratio in competitive RC applications. This thread size works seamlessly with all Team Associated chassis mounting points, suspension linkages, and electronic component brackets.
- 14mm Length Precision — The 14mm length is precisely engineered for Team Associated RC models, ensuring fasteners bite properly into threaded inserts without protruding and creating interference issues on your RC vehicle. This specific dimension is critical for maintaining proper component alignment and suspension geometry.
- Pack of 10 Genuine Spares — Each pack contains 10 individual socket head hex screws, providing a realistic quantity for serious RC hobbyists who maintain multiple vehicles or require immediate spares following track damage or crashes. Ten screws is sufficient for securing multiple chassis components or building up a comprehensive spare parts inventory.
- Precision Manufacturing Quality — As genuine Team Associated OEM components, these screws are manufactured to exacting standards using quality materials that resist corrosion and maintain dimensional accuracy through repeated assembly and disassembly cycles. This manufacturing precision is essential for maintaining the structural integrity of your RC car, buggy or truck during competitive racing or aggressive bashing sessions.
- Enhanced Torque Control — The socket head design allows you to apply accurate torque specifications when assembling chassis components and linkages, preventing over-tightening that could strip threads or crack plastic components, and under-tightening that could lead to vibration-induced loosening during high-speed running.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Which Team Associated RC models are compatible with M3 X 14 socket head hex screws? — These genuine Team Associated screws are specified for use across the complete Team Associated RC car and truck range, including the MGT 3.0, MGT 4.60, MGT 8.0, Nomad DB8, Rival Monster Truck, SC8, SC8.2e, SC8e, and SR7 models. Always consult your specific vehicle's manual to confirm the correct fastener specifications for your particular application.
- Why are socket head hex screws better than Phillips or slotted head screws for RC applications? — Socket head hex screws provide superior contact area between the driver tool and the fastener head, dramatically reducing the risk of stripping or rounding the head during assembly and disassembly. This is especially important in RC hobby applications where vehicles are frequently worked on, modified, and repaired. The socket design allows precise torque application without damaging the fastener, and the low-profile head means less clearance interference on tight chassis layouts.
- What is the advantage of having spare M3 X 14 socket head hex screws on hand? — Genuine OEM fasteners from Team Associated ensure perfect fit and compatibility with your RC vehicle. Having a pack of 10 spares means you can immediately replace any damaged or lost screws without delaying your track time or racing session. Spare fasteners are essential for any serious RC car or truck enthusiast, and keeping quality OEM parts in stock prevents compromise repairs using incorrect or inferior alternatives.
- Can I use these screws on other RC brands? — While the M3 x 14 socket head hex screw is a standard metric fastener that appears in many RC applications, these are specifically engineered and tested by Team Associated for use in their models. For maximum reliability and to maintain vehicle warranty coverage, always use the OEM fastener specified by your vehicle manufacturer. Using non-approved fasteners could compromise vehicle performance, suspension geometry, or structural integrity.
- What hex driver size do I need to install these socket head hex screws? — Socket head hex screws use metric hex (allen key) drivers. For M3 socket head hex screws, a 2.5mm hex driver is typically specified. Always verify the correct tool size in your vehicle's manual and use a quality hex driver that fits snugly in the socket to avoid stripping or damaging the fastener head during installation or removal.
- How many socket head hex screws does a typical RC car require? — The number of M3 X 14 socket head hex screws required depends on your specific Team Associated model and the components you're assembling. A pack of 10 provides spares for securing multiple chassis components, suspension linkage points, motor mounts, and electronic component brackets. Most RC enthusiasts find that a pack of 10 spares is essential for maintaining a single vehicle and provides a good buffer for unexpected damage.
