Set screws are fundamental components in RC model assembly and maintenance. They secure critical components such as motor plates, servo mounts, chassis plates, and gear covers. The M3 x 20mm specification provides the perfect balance of holding strength and precision for mid-range RC applications across buggies, touring cars, off-road trucks, and rock crawlers. Every Team Associated RC model that specifies this fastener size relies on these screws for structural integrity during high-speed runs, rough terrain bashings, and competitive racing. If your vehicle manual calls for M3 x 20mm set screws, using genuine Team Associated parts ensures you're restoring your RC car to factory specifications.

Available from RC Model Shop with rapid UK delivery, these set screws are perfect for weekend maintenance, race prep, or emergency repairs. Stock a few spares in your RC pit box because when a fastener fails mid-race or during a bash session, having the correct replacement on hand means the difference between a quick fix and missing valuable track time.

Technical Performance

These Team Associated Set Screws represent quality metric fastening engineered for the demanding environment of RC model operation. The M3 thread diameter measures exactly 3 millimetres, a standard metric size that matches the threaded inserts and mounting holes throughout Team Associated chassis and components. The 20mm length provides adequate thread engagement—typically 10-12mm of threaded depth into the receiving component—whilst keeping the exposed length short enough to avoid interference with moving parts or adjacent components. Set screws are distinct from bolts because they feature threading all the way to the head (or very close to it), allowing them to be tightened directly into threaded holes without requiring separate nuts. This design is crucial in RC applications where space is at a premium and weight must be minimised. The fasteners are manufactured from hardened steel, providing excellent corrosion resistance and the tensile strength needed to withstand vibration, impact, and the constant loosening forces generated during high-speed driving and jumping. When properly installed with an appropriate hex key or Allen wrench, these screws create a positive mechanical lock that resists vibration-induced loosening far better than standard machine screws. The precision manufacturing ensures that every screw in a pack shares identical dimensions, allowing you to replace a fastener with confidence that it will fit exactly like the original.

Frequently Asked Questions

• What is a set screw and how does it differ from a regular bolt? — Set screws are headless or semi-headless fasteners with threading that extends nearly to the head. They're designed to be screwed directly into threaded holes, making them ideal for space-constrained RC applications. Unlike bolts which require nuts, set screws provide a more compact fastening solution that sits flush or slightly recessed, preventing interference with moving components and reducing weight—critical considerations in RC model engineering.
• Will these Team Associated screws fit my RC car? — Yes, if your vehicle manual specifies M3 x 20mm set screws. They are designed for Team Associated buggies, touring cars, and trucks that use this fastener size, including popular models across the B-series, T-series, and SC-series platforms. However, always consult your vehicle manual or parts diagram before purchasing to confirm the exact specification required for your specific model.
• Are these suitable for beginners and experienced RC hobbyists? — Absolutely. Set screws are essential fasteners used by everyone from weekend bashers performing casual maintenance to competition drivers doing pre-race preparation. Beginners will find these invaluable when learning proper RC assembly techniques, whilst experienced competitors rely on them for maintaining their race vehicles at the highest level of precision.
• How many screws come in a pack? — The source material does not specify the exact quantity per pack. We recommend contacting RC Model Shop directly at 01543 577278 or via WhatsApp to confirm the pack size before ordering, ensuring you receive the quantity you need for your project.
• Why should I use genuine Team Associated screws rather than generic alternatives? — Genuine Team Associated fasteners are manufactured to the exact specifications of your vehicle, ensuring perfect thread fit, optimal clamping force, and long-term reliability. Generic or counterfeit screws may have inconsistent dimensions, causing loose assemblies that rattle, vibrate, and fail during use. Using official parts protects your investment in your RC model and ensures it performs exactly as designed by the engineers at Team Associated.
• Can these screws be used for repairs on other RC brands? — Yes, if another RC model specifies M3 x 20mm set screws. The metric M3 standard is used across many RC manufacturers. However, always verify the fastener specification in your vehicle manual before installation to ensure compatibility with your specific model.
