Frequently Asked Questions
- What is an M4 x 20mm BHCS screw and what does it fit? — M4 x 20mm BHCS refers to a metric button head cap screw with a 4mm diameter and 20mm length. The BHCS designation means it features a button head cap design with a hexagonal socket. These Team Associated screws are suitable for fastening components on RC vehicles that specify this size, including the Rival MT8 and other compatible Team Associated models. Always check your specific vehicle's manual to confirm the exact locations where these screws should be used.
- How do I know if these are the correct screws for my RC car? — The best way to ensure you have the correct screws is to check your vehicle's assembly manual or parts diagram and look for part number AS81266 or specification M4 x 20mm BHCS. Alternatively, if you have an existing screw from your vehicle, you can compare it against the dimensions and style. Using the exact part number ensures compatibility and proper fit without risk of overtightening or stripping threads.
- Why should I use genuine Team Associated screws instead of generic alternatives? — Genuine Team Associated screws are manufactured to precise engineering specifications and material standards that match your vehicle's original equipment. Generic or aftermarket fasteners may vary in dimensions, material quality, or threading specifications, which could lead to poor fit, thread stripping, or component damage. Using authentic Team Associated parts ensures reliability and protects your investment in your RC vehicle.
- Are these screws suitable for beginners? — Yes, these fasteners are suitable for RC enthusiasts of all skill levels. Beginners maintaining their first RC car will find these screws straightforward to install with basic hex key tools. If you're unsure about screw placement or torque specifications, consult your vehicle's manual or contact our knowledgeable team at RC Model Shop for guidance.
- What tools do I need to install these M4 x 20mm BHCS screws? — These button head cap screws use a hexagonal socket, so you'll need a hex key (Allen key) tool of the appropriate size to install them. Most RC maintenance kits include a selection of hex keys in various sizes. A torque wrench can help ensure you don't overtighten and strip the threads, though careful manual tightening is also acceptable for most RC applications.
- How often should I replace these screws on my RC vehicle? — Fasteners on RC vehicles should be inspected regularly during maintenance checks. If you notice a screw is loose, corroded, stripped, or visibly damaged, replace it immediately. For vehicles in heavy use or competition, consider replacing fasteners as part of routine seasonal maintenance to prevent unexpected failures during operation.
