Technical Performance
These M3 x 6mm hex button head screws represent the standard fastening solution for 1/10-scale RC vehicles throughout Europe and the UK. The steel construction provides exceptional tensile strength and shear resistance, critical properties when fastening components that experience constant vibration and dynamic loads during aggressive driving. The DIN7380 specification ensures precise head diameter and height, allowing these screws to seat properly in factory-designed mounting holes without requiring enlargement or modification. The hex socket design accommodates standard metric hex drivers available at any RC hobby shop, ensuring you can tighten and loosen these screws quickly and reliably without damaging the fastener head. Whether you're servicing the suspension on a competitive 1/10-scale buggy, securing aerodynamic body panels to your RC touring car, or mounting electronics on a short-course truck, these screws deliver the reliability and consistency that serious RC modellers expect. The hardened steel construction resists corrosion better than softer alternatives, making these screws suitable for both indoor carpet racing and outdoor bashing in damp British weather conditions.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What are DIN7380 hex button head screws and why should I use them for my RC car? — DIN7380 is an international standard specification that defines the precise dimensions, tolerances, and material properties for hex button head screws. Using DIN7380-compliant fasteners like these Corally screws ensures perfect compatibility with your RC vehicle's factory-designed mounting points and guarantees that the screw head won't protrude excessively or interfere with moving components. The button head design also provides superior grip compared to flat-head alternatives, making them easier to tighten securely without stripping the fastener.
- Are these M3 x 6mm screws compatible with my RC vehicle? — If your RC car, truck, or buggy uses metric M3 fasteners and has mounting points requiring 6mm screw length, these Corally screws will fit perfectly. M3 is one of the most common fastener sizes across 1/10-scale RC vehicles, so there's an excellent chance these screws will be compatible with your existing components. If you're uncertain about compatibility, consult your vehicle's instruction manual or contact our RC Model Shop team for assistance.
- Why should I buy a full pack of 10 screws when I might only need one or two? — Purchasing the complete 10-piece pack provides several practical advantages for any serious RC modeller. Firstly, you always have spare fasteners immediately available if you strip a screw, lose one during maintenance, or damage a fastener during removal. Secondly, the per-screw cost is significantly lower when buying in packs, providing better value compared to purchasing individual screws. Finally, having spares encourages you to perform regular maintenance on your RC vehicles without worrying about running out of fasteners, ultimately extending the service life of your cherished RC collection.
- How do these Corally screws compare to cheaper fasteners available at general hardware shops? — While generic hardware store fasteners might appear to save money initially, Corally screws offer several critical advantages for RC applications. Corally fasteners are manufactured to exacting tolerances specifically for RC use, ensuring perfect fit in factory-designed mounting points without requiring modification. The hardened steel construction resists the vibration and dynamic loads experienced during aggressive driving far better than softer generic fasteners. Additionally, generic fasteners may not conform precisely to DIN7380 specifications, potentially causing fit issues or insufficient fastening security. For the relatively small additional cost, using genuine Corally screws ensures reliable fastening and eliminates compatibility concerns.
- Can I use these screws outdoors on my RC truck? — Yes, the hardened steel construction of these Corally screws provides good resistance to corrosion, making them suitable for outdoor use on RC trucks and buggies. However, if you regularly run your RC vehicles in muddy or wet conditions, consider rinsing your vehicle with fresh water after use and occasionally inspecting fasteners for signs of corrosion. The steel construction is significantly more corrosion-resistant than softer materials, making these screws an excellent choice for all-weather RC bashing.
- What tools do I need to install these hex button head screws? — You'll need a metric hex driver or Allen key in the appropriate size to tighten and loosen these M3 fasteners. The correct hex socket size for M3 screws is 2.5mm, which is included in most standard RC hobby tool kits and universal hex driver sets available from RC Model Shop. No other specialised tools are required—simply align the screw with the mounting hole and turn clockwise to tighten until snug. Avoid over-tightening, as this can strip plastic components or damage the fastener itself.
