Technical Performance

The Associated M1.6 x 5mm SHCS represents precision fastening engineering specifically calibrated for the demanding requirements of modern RC racing and recreational bashing. The M1.6 metric thread provides a fine-pitch engagement ideal for the lightweight aluminium and composite materials used in contemporary RC vehicle design, where over-tightening can damage expensive components. The 5mm length has been carefully calculated to work within the clamping tolerances of Associated wheel hexes, providing secure retention of wheels during high-speed cornering, jumps and impact scenarios that characterise RC car UK driving. The socket head cap design permits precise torque application using standard hex keys, a critical advantage when working with delicate RC assemblies where proper fastening pressure directly impacts both performance and component lifespan. These fasteners are manufactured to exacting standards befitting genuine OEM components, ensuring they integrate seamlessly with your Associated RC10 series vehicles whether you're competing in organised racing events or enjoying recreational bashing at the local track. The corrosion-resistant plating protects against the moisture and road chemicals encountered during outdoor RC car UK operations, helping maintain the structural integrity of your investment over extended use.
