Overview
The Team Associated M3 x 30mm FHC Screw (AS89212) is an essential replacement fastener for Team Associated RC cars and buggies across the entire RC8B3 range and compatible models. Whether you're maintaining your 1/8 electric buggy, performing routine maintenance, or building up a spare parts collection, these genuine OEM screws are the perfect solution for keeping your RC car in peak condition. As a dedicated RC retailer in the UK, we understand that quality fasteners are critical to reliable RC performance, and Team Associated's genuine components ensure your vehicle runs smoothly without compromise.
This specific screw specification — M3 x 30mm with a flat head cap (FHC) design — is commonly used throughout Team Associated RC8B3 series models and Factory Team variants. The flat head cap configuration allows for clean, flush mounting in applications where recessed fastening is required, making it an ideal choice for suspension components, body mounts, and various internal assemblies. If you're an RC enthusiast in the UK looking for genuine Team Associated spares, or a competitive racer who demands OEM quality, the AS89212 fasteners deliver the reliability and precision fit you need.
RC Model Shop stocks a comprehensive range of Team Associated spares and upgrades, from suspension arms and shock towers to fasteners and maintenance essentials. We recognise that serious RC hobbyists require genuine parts to maintain their vehicles properly, whether you're a weekend basher enjoying outdoor RC fun or a competition driver preparing for the next race event. Our carefully curated inventory ensures you can find the exact components your RC car needs without unnecessary searching or delays.
Key Features
- Genuine Team Associated OEM Component — This is an official Team Associated fastener, ensuring perfect compatibility with your RC8B3, RC8B3.2, RC8B3.2E, and compatible Factory Team models, with no guesswork about fit or function.
- M3 x 30mm Specification — The 3mm diameter and 30mm length make these screws suitable for a wide variety of mounting applications throughout your RC buggy, from suspension linkages to body and wing attachments.
- Flat Head Cap (FHC) Design — The flat head cap configuration allows the screw head to sit flush or recessed into components, providing a clean appearance and preventing protrusions that could catch on terrain or interfere with moving parts.
- Reliable Quality for RC Competition and Bashers — Team Associated fasteners are engineered to withstand the vibration, impacts, and repeated stress cycles that RC vehicles experience during both casual driving and competitive racing.
- Cost-Effective Replacement Solution — Rather than replacing entire assemblies, individual screws can be swapped out quickly, helping you maintain your RC car economically and keep your vehicle on the track or trail.
Technical Performance
The Team Associated M3 x 30mm FHC screw is manufactured to precise engineering standards that ensure reliability across the demanding conditions RC vehicles experience. The M3 thread specification provides a balanced combination of holding power and ease of installation, whilst the 30mm length positions it perfectly for applications requiring deeper fastening without excessive protrusion. The flat head cap design is particularly advantageous in RC applications where aerodynamics, component clearance, and aesthetic presentation matter — whether you're preparing your RC8B3.2E for competition or maintaining your everyday RC buggy. Team Associated's commitment to quality means these screws maintain their integrity under the thermal stress of extended driving sessions, the vibration encountered during high-speed runs, and the repeated assembly and disassembly cycles that come with regular maintenance and upgrades. For UK-based RC enthusiasts working with 1/8 scale electric buggies, sourcing genuine Team Associated fasteners like the AS89212 is an investment in the longevity and reliability of your vehicle.
