The AS31509 provides precision-engineered small-diameter screws that are compatible with numerous Associated RC models and other hobby projects requiring compact M2 threading.
These BHCS (Button Head Cap Screws) are designed for RC enthusiasts who demand consistent, reliable hardware that matches original manufacturer specifications.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What are BHCS fasteners and why do I need them for my RC car? — BHCS stands for Button Head Cap Screws, which feature a rounded top design that provides excellent holding power whilst maintaining a clean appearance. These fasteners are essential for RC vehicles because they secure critical components like servo mounts, electronics enclosures, and suspension parts without snagging on adjacent wires or components. The button head design distributes clamping force more effectively than standard fasteners, preventing damage to mounting surfaces on delicate RC components.
- Will these M2 x 0.4 x 3mm screws fit my Associated RC model? — Yes, these fasteners are genuine Associated parts designed to match the specifications of Associated RC vehicles that require M2 metric fasteners. However, you should verify your specific model's fastener requirements by consulting your vehicle's manual or specifications list, as different models may use different sized fasteners in various locations.
- What does the M2 x 0.4 x 3mm specification mean? — The M2 refers to the thread diameter of 2 millimetres, the 0.4 represents the pitch (the distance between thread grooves), and the 3mm is the overall length of the fastener. This compact specification makes these screws ideal for small hardware applications throughout RC models where space is limited.
- How many screws do I get in this pack and will they be enough? — This pack contains ten fasteners. Whilst this provides a useful spare set for maintenance and repairs, the exact number you'll need depends on your specific RC model and the number of fasteners requiring replacement. Having multiple packs on hand ensures you're never caught without spares during hobby sessions or competition days.
- Are these fasteners suitable for custom RC builds? — Absolutely. The M2 x 0.4 x 3mm specification is a standard metric fastening solution used across many RC platforms and hobby projects. These genuine Associated fasteners provide reliable, precision-engineered hardware for any custom build requiring compact metric fastening solutions.
- How do I ensure these screws don't loosen during use? — Ensure fasteners are tightened securely but not over-tightened, which can strip threads. For applications subject to significant vibration, many RC enthusiasts apply threadlock compound to the screw threads before installation. Always check fastener tightness after your initial runs to confirm secure seating.
