Overview
The Corally Steel Screws M2.5 x 10mm Hex Socket Head fasteners are essential replacement and upgrade components for serious RC car enthusiasts and builders across the UK. Whether you're maintaining your existing RC model, upgrading from plastic fasteners, or building a custom setup, these professional-grade steel screws deliver the reliability and durability that discerning RC hobbyists demand. These screws are manufactured to DIN912 specifications, the international standard for hex socket head cap screws, ensuring consistent quality and compatibility with RC vehicles from entry-level models right through to competition-grade machines.
RC car building and maintenance requires precision fasteners that can withstand the stresses of high-speed running, jumps, impacts and constant vibration. Plastic screws simply cannot match the performance and longevity of quality steel fasteners, making this pack of 10 genuine Corally screws an investment in the reliability and longevity of your RC vehicle. The M2.5 x 10mm size is a popular specification used across numerous RC models for securing chassis components, suspension mounts, body panels and internal assemblies. Having a spare pack of quality steel screws in your RC spares box means you're always prepared for repairs, upgrades or building from scratch.
Corally is renowned throughout the RC hobby community as a manufacturer of precision parts and complete vehicles, and their steel fasteners maintain the same exacting standards. If you're an experienced RC racer, a weekend basher, or someone just getting into the hobby and building your first RC car, having access to genuine OEM-quality fasteners ensures your builds are solid, reliable and safe to operate at speed.
Key Features
- DIN912 Specification — These screws are manufactured to the internationally recognised DIN912 standard for hex socket head cap screws, guaranteeing dimensional accuracy, strength and compatibility with standard hex key tools and RC mounting points across multiple vehicle brands.
- Steel Construction — Unlike plastic or lower-grade alternatives, these fasteners are forged from quality steel, providing superior strength, corrosion resistance and longevity even under the demanding stresses of RC car suspension loads, impacts and continuous vibration during high-speed running.
- M2.5 x 10mm Size — This is a commonly used specification across the RC hobby for securing mid-sized components such as suspension arms, chassis plates, servo mounts and body retention points on 1/10 and 1/8 scale RC vehicles.
- Hex Socket Head Design — The recessed hex socket design allows secure engagement with a hex key tool, reducing the risk of cam-out and screw stripping compared to slotted or Phillips head alternatives, and providing a clean appearance on finished builds.
- Pack of 10 Pieces — Ten individual fasteners give you enough for a complete rebuild or substantial repairs, with spares remaining for future maintenance or building projects without needing multiple purchases.
- Genuine Corally Component — As OEM Corally parts, these screws are engineered to work perfectly with Corally vehicles and are equally suitable as replacement fasteners for other quality RC cars where the M2.5 x 10mm specification is required.
Technical Performance
The Corally Steel Screws M2.5 x 10mm represent a significant upgrade over plastic or low-grade fasteners commonly found in budget RC kits. Steel fasteners offer substantially higher tensile strength, allowing them to withstand the shock loads generated during jumps, hard landings, and high-speed cornering without stripping threads or breaking under stress. The DIN912 specification ensures that the thread pitch, head height, and socket dimensions are precisely engineered for reliability. The hex socket head design provides excellent mechanical advantage when tightening with a hex key, reducing the likelihood of over-torquing and damaging threads or under-torquing leading to fasteners working loose during operation. The M2.5 diameter is ideal for medium-duty applications such as securing suspension arms to chassis plates, mounting servo saver systems, attaching body posts, and fastening electronic components. The 10mm length provides sufficient engagement depth for secure fastening without being so long as to cause interference with other components. Steel's superior corrosion resistance compared to lower-grade materials means these fasteners maintain their integrity even when exposed to wet conditions, mud splashes, and the occasional water crossing that many RC enthusiasts enjoy. Whether you're running an RC buggy, truck, crawler or specialist competition vehicle, these fasteners deliver the reliability that experienced builders trust.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What is DIN912 specification and why does it matter for RC car screws? — DIN912 is the international standard for hex socket head cap screws, defining precise dimensions, thread specifications and material requirements. This ensures compatibility with standard hex key tools and RC mounting points, guarantees consistent quality, and means these screws will work reliably with virtually any RC vehicle that uses M2.5 x 10mm fasteners, whether from Corally or other manufacturers.
- Are steel screws better than plastic screws for RC cars? — Yes, significantly. Steel screws offer superior tensile strength, meaning they resist breaking under the shock loads and vibration that RC cars experience. Steel also resists thread stripping much better than plastic, maintains its integrity when repeatedly tightened and loosened during maintenance, and provides better corrosion resistance if your RC car gets wet. For serious builders and racers, steel fasteners are essential.
- What size RC cars use M2.5 x 10mm screws? — This size is commonly used on 1/10 and 1/8 scale RC vehicles for medium-duty fastening applications. Typical uses include securing suspension arms to the chassis, mounting servo savers, attaching body posts, and fastening internal components. Check your vehicle's manual or existing fasteners to confirm compatibility.
- Will these screws fit my RC car? — These M2.5 x 10mm screws are suitable for any RC vehicle that uses this size specification. They will definitely fit Corally vehicles designed for these fasteners, and they will work with other quality RC brands that use the same DIN912 hex socket specification. Always verify the correct size before purchasing replacement screws for your specific model.
- How many screws do I need? — This pack contains 10 screws, which is typically sufficient for a complete chassis rebuild or substantial suspension and body work on most 1/10 and 1/8 scale RC vehicles. For larger projects or if you like to keep spares on hand, consider purchasing multiple packs.
- Can I use these screws as an upgrade on non-Corally vehicles? — Yes. The DIN912 hex socket head specification is a universal standard, so these screws will work with any RC car that requires M2.5 x 10mm fasteners. They make an excellent upgrade from lower-grade plastic fasteners on budget RC kits.
- What tools do I need to use these screws? — You'll need a hex key (Allen key) of the appropriate size to fit the socket head. The exact size isn't specified in the product information, but typically DIN912 screws of this size use a 1.5mm or 2mm hex key. A quality set of RC hex keys is a worthwhile investment for any RC builder.
