Key Features
- Genuine Team Associated OEM Part — This is an official replacement screw manufactured to Team Associated's exacting specifications, ensuring perfect compatibility with your RC model and maintaining the integrity of your vehicle's construction.
- M4 Diameter Specification — The M4 thread size is precisely engineered to match the threaded holes throughout your RC chassis and suspension components, guaranteeing a secure and reliable fit without cross-threading or stripped holes.
- 14mm Length — The 14mm length has been carefully calculated to provide optimal fastening depth whilst avoiding interference with internal components, critical for proper assembly and performance of your RC vehicle.
- Button Head Cap Screw Design — The BHCS profile features a low-profile rounded head that sits flush with component surfaces, making it ideal for clearance-sensitive applications where standard hex head fasteners would interfere with moving parts or adjustment mechanisms.
- High-Quality Steel Construction — These fasteners are manufactured from durable steel material selected for its strength and corrosion resistance, protecting your investment in your RC model and ensuring long-term reliability even in challenging conditions.
- Wide Model Compatibility — Compatible with a comprehensive range of Team Associated RC vehicles, from the RC8 series buggies and trucks to the newer Rival MT range, making this an essential spare for any serious Team Associated enthusiast.

Technical Performance
The Team Associated M4 x 14mm BHCS AS81260 represents precision engineering at the component level. Button head cap screws are manufactured to ISO 4762 standards, ensuring consistent quality, dimensional accuracy and material properties across every unit. The M4 designation refers to a 4-millimetre metric thread diameter, a size widely used in RC vehicle construction for chassis assembly, suspension mounting, and electronics bracket attachment. The 14-millimetre length provides sufficient engagement depth for secure fastening without bottoming out in component holes. The button head design is engineered with a rounded, domed profile that provides a secure gripping surface for hex key wrenches whilst minimising the overall height of the fastener head, critical in RC applications where space is at a premium and rotating components must clear all fastener elements. The material composition is hardened steel, offering both tensile strength and fatigue resistance necessary for the vibration-intensive environment of an RC car UK that's regularly driven on demanding terrain. Whether you're working on a high-performance competition RC buggy or maintaining a casual weekend basher, these fasteners deliver the reliability and precision that separates properly maintained RC vehicles from those suffering from loose connections and performance issues.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What does BHCS stand for and why does it matter for my RC car? — BHCS stands for Button Head Cap Screw. The button head design features a low-profile rounded head rather than the higher profile of a standard hex cap screw, making it essential for RC applications where clearance is critical. This design ensures that moving suspension components, gears and adjustable parts can operate freely without interference from the fastener head.
- Which Team Associated models use the M4 x 14mm fastener? — This fastener is compatible with numerous Team Associated models including the RC8B3, RC8T3, RC8B3e, RC8T3e, RC8B3.1, RC8B3.1E, RC8T3.1E, Rival MT10, RC8B3.2, RC8B3.2E, RC8T3.2, RC8T3.2E, Rival MT8, RC8B4, RC8B4E, RC8T4E, RC8T4 and RC8B4.1E. Always consult your specific model's assembly guide or parts list to confirm correct placement.
- How do I know which size screw my RC model needs? — The easiest method is to consult your RC vehicle's assembly guide or parts manual, which will specify the exact fastener sizes required for each component. You can also carefully measure an existing screw using callipers, or contact our knowledgeable team at RC Model Shop who can help identify the correct fastener for your specific model.
- Is this a genuine Team Associated part? — Yes, the AS81260 is an official Team Associated OEM replacement part. Purchasing genuine spare parts ensures compatibility, reliability and the longevity of your RC investment. RC Model Shop stocks only authorised Team Associated products from trusted distributors.
- Why would I need replacement fasteners for my RC car? — RC vehicles experience significant vibration and stress during operation. Fasteners can become loose, stripped or damaged through normal use, crashes or maintenance work. Keeping replacement screws on hand means you can quickly reassemble your RC car after servicing, repairs or rebuilding, getting back to enjoying your hobby faster.
- Can I use standard metric M4 x 14mm screws instead of the Team Associated part? — Whilst some standard metric fasteners might be physically compatible, using genuine Team Associated parts ensures proper material specifications, hardness and dimensions that match your vehicle's design requirements. OEM parts provide the reliability and precision fit your RC vehicle deserves.
