- 0.4mm Thread Pitch — The precise 0.4mm thread pitch specification matches the original manufacturer's engineering standards, allowing smooth, secure fastening without stripping or cross-threading when properly installed.
- 5mm Overall Length — The compact 5mm length makes these screws ideal for tight spaces and delicate assemblies common in precision RC engineering, perfect for securing suspension components, electronics mounts and chassis plates.
- SHCS Design (Socket Head Cap Screw) — Socket head cap screws offer superior holding power and a clean, flush appearance compared to slotted alternatives, whilst the hexagonal socket accepts standard hex keys for reliable installation and removal without slipping.
- Pack of 10 Pieces — Each pack contains 10 individual screws, providing enough fasteners for multiple repairs, upgrades or complete component replacements without needing to purchase excessive quantities.
- Genuine OEM Parts — These are authentic Team Associated components manufactured to the exact specifications required by the brand, guaranteeing proper fitment and performance that aftermarket alternatives simply cannot match.

Technical Performance
Team Associated's M2 X 0.4 X 5 SHCS screws represent the pinnacle of precision fastening for competitive and recreational RC vehicles. These metric fasteners are engineered with exacting tolerances to ensure that whether you're working on a high-speed track buggy, an off-road race truck, or a trail-crawling machine, the fastening integrity remains absolutely consistent. The M2 metric specification is a global standard for precision engineering, providing compatibility not just with Team Associated components but with a vast ecosystem of RC parts from numerous manufacturers. The 0.4mm thread pitch offers the ideal balance between holding power and ease of installation—fine enough to prevent accidental loosening during hard driving, yet accessible enough for field repairs with standard metric tools. At just 5mm in length, these screws are engineered for applications where weight matters and space is at a premium, making them essential for components like suspension brackets, electronics trays, and chassis plates on competitive-grade RC models. The socket head cap design provides superior leverage compared to Phillips or slotted heads, reducing the risk of tool slip and damage to surrounding components. Built from hardened steel to Team Associated's specifications, these fasteners deliver reliable, long-lasting performance across countless driving sessions, whether you're racing at high speed on tarmac, bashing through muddy terrain, or navigating technical rock crawling courses. For any RC enthusiast in the UK serious about maintaining their investment in quality RC vehicles, genuine OEM fasteners like these are non-negotiable.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Which Team Associated RC models use M2 X 0.4 X 5 SHCS screws? — These screws are compatible with a comprehensive range of Team Associated vehicles including the TC5, TC6, TC6.1, TC6.2, TC7, TC7.1, TC7.2, RC8B3, RC8B3.1, RC8B3.2, RC8T3, RC8T3.1E, RC8T3.2, RC8T3.2E, RC8B4, RC8B4.1, RC8T4, RC8T4E, B64, B64D, B74, B74.1, MT12, Apex 2, and the Element Enduro series including Sendero, Trailwalker, Trailrunner, Gatekeeper, Knightrunner, Ecto Trail Truck, Bushido, Utron SE, Zuul, and Zuul IFS2 models.
- Why should I buy genuine OEM Team Associated fasteners instead of generic metric screws? — Genuine OEM fasteners are manufactured to the exact specifications required by Team Associated's engineering standards, ensuring perfect fitment, proper thread engagement, and reliable holding power. Generic fasteners may have slightly different tolerances that can cause cross-threading, inadequate clamping force, or premature loosening during driving. Using authentic parts protects your investment in quality RC equipment.
- How many screws do I need for a typical repair or upgrade? — Each pack contains 10 pieces, which is sufficient for replacing fasteners across multiple assembly points or completing several component upgrades on a single vehicle. Most repair jobs require only 2-4 screws, so a single pack provides adequate coverage for multiple maintenance sessions.
- What tools do I need to install these M2 X 0.4 X 5 SHCS screws? — Socket head cap screws require a metric hex key (Allen key) to install and remove. For M2 fasteners, you'll typically need a 1.5mm hex key. Ensure your hex key fits snugly in the socket to prevent slipping and stripping the screw head.
- Are these screws compatible with RC cars purchased in the UK? — If you own a genuine Team Associated RC model purchased anywhere in the world, including the UK, these screws are fully compatible. Team Associated's specifications are international standards, so fitment is guaranteed across all markets.
- Can I use these screws for repairs immediately out of the box? — Yes, these screws are ready to use straight from the pack. No preparation, cleaning, or modification is required. Simply match the application to the correct mounting point on your RC vehicle and install using a 1.5mm hex key.
