Frequently Asked Questions
- Are these set screws compatible with my Team Associated RC car? — These M4 x 20mm set screws are specifically listed as compatible with the Rival MT8 and are genuine Team Associated parts, so they should fit any RC model designed to accept M4 x 20mm fasteners. Always verify your model's requirements before ordering, but the genuine Associated part number AS89245 ensures authentic specification and sizing.
- Why should I keep spare set screws in my pit box? — Set screws can become lost, stripped, or damaged during intensive use and maintenance cycles. Keeping spares ensures you're never delayed by a missing fastener during servicing, competition preparation, or emergency repairs. This is particularly important for serious racers in the UK who want to maximise track time without frustration.
- How many set screws come in this package? — The source material does not specify the quantity included in this package. We recommend contacting RC Model Shop directly at 01543 577278 or via WhatsApp to confirm the exact number of screws supplied.
- What is the difference between set screws and regular bolts? — Set screws are designed to lock components together without the need for a nut, using a pointed or cup-shaped tip to grip into soft material or a flat surface. This makes them ideal for securing shafts and preventing rotation, and they typically require less space than bolt-and-nut combinations.
- Can I use these screws on other RC models? — If your RC car accepts M4 x 20mm fasteners, these genuine Team Associated screws should work fine. However, always verify your specific model's requirements. Using the correct specification ensures secure assembly and prevents damage to your RC model during use.
