Key Features
- M3 Thread with 0.5mm Pitch — The M3 thread diameter with a precisely calibrated 0.5mm pitch ensures these screws thread smoothly and securely into the transmission case, providing the exact fit that Team Associated engineers specified for optimal performance and reliability.
- 30mm Length — The 30mm length is precisely calculated to connect the rear wing mount to the transmission case without over-tightening or leaving excess thread, ensuring proper engagement and preventing damage to delicate RC components.
- Button Head Design — The low-profile button head style sits flush against mounting surfaces and does not protrude excessively, maintaining the sleek lines of your RC car and preventing snagging on suspension components or other parts during high-speed operation.
- Pack of Six Screws — Receiving six replacement screws means you have multiple spares available for maintenance, repairs, or experimentation with different builds, providing excellent value and peace of mind for active RC enthusiasts.
- Genuine Team Associated Component — These are authentic OEM fasteners manufactured to Team Associated's exacting standards, guaranteeing compatibility and performance that aftermarket alternatives simply cannot match.
Technical Performance
The Associated M3x0.5x30 BHCS screws represent the kind of precision engineering that separates genuine OEM components from generic alternatives. The M3 metric thread size with 0.5mm pitch is a fine-pitch specification that resists loosening during the vibration and impact loads that RC vehicles experience during normal operation. The 30mm length has been carefully calculated by Team Associated engineers to provide the exact reach required when securing the rear wing mount to the transmission case, ensuring that fasteners achieve full thread engagement without bottoming out or creating stress concentrations in the mounting surfaces. Button head cap screws (BHCS) offer superior clamping force distribution and a clean, professional appearance compared to standard hex head fasteners, which is why they are preferred in precision RC applications. The stainless steel or hardened steel construction typical of quality fasteners ensures corrosion resistance and reliable performance even when exposed to moisture, dirt, and the harsh conditions that RC cars encounter outdoors or on track. For Team Associated RC10B5 and RC10B5M owners, these are the exact components specified in factory documentation, making them essential spares for anyone serious about maintaining their investment in ready to run or race-spec RC equipment.
