Technical Performance

The Team Associated M3 x 0.5 x 5 FHCS screws represent the calibre of engineering excellence that Team Associated is renowned for in the competitive RC racing community across the UK and worldwide. The M3 thread size provides a balance between strength and weight, critical considerations in modern RC vehicle design where chassis rigidity and low unsprung mass directly impact performance. The 0.5 mm pitch is a metric fine thread, providing greater engagement and resistance to vibration-induced loosening compared to coarser pitches, which is essential in high-vibration RC environments. The 5 mm length is precisely calculated for specific mounting applications throughout Team Associated vehicles, from body post mounts to servo horn assemblies and suspension component fastening. The FHCS (Flat Head Cap Screw) profile ensures flush mounting with minimal profile protrusion, crucial in compact RC chassis designs where clearance is often at a premium. These fasteners are manufactured to ISO specifications and finished to resist corrosion from the oils and perspiration encountered during intensive use. Whether you're racing on indoor carpet tracks, outdoor asphalt circuits, or exploring challenging terrain with an RC buggy or truck, these genuine Team Associated screws will maintain secure connections through repeated assembly and disassembly cycles during maintenance and upgrades.
