Overview
The Element RC Screws M2.5x14mm FHCS (EL41077) are precision-engineered fasteners designed specifically for RC model enthusiasts maintaining and building their vehicles. Whether you're a seasoned RC competitor, a weekend basher, or someone new to the RC car UK hobby scene, having the correct replacement screws on hand is essential for keeping your model in perfect working order. These flat head cap screws (FHCS) are manufactured to exacting standards by Element RC, a trusted name in RC components and spares, ensuring compatibility and reliability across multiple Element RC trail trucks and enduro models.
RC hobby maintenance is an integral part of ownership, and having genuine OEM replacement parts means you can rebuild, repair, or customise your vehicle with complete confidence. These M2.5x14mm screws are not generic fasteners—they are purpose-designed for specific Element RC models including the Enduro Ecto, Enduro Trail Truck, Enduro Sendero HD, and Enduro Trailwalker series. The pack contains 10 individual screws, giving you plenty to work with for multiple applications or as spares for future use. Whether you're replacing worn fasteners, repairing damage from a crash, or undertaking a full rebuild of your ready to run RC model, these screws provide the security and precision fit that modern RC vehicles demand.
Manufactured in black finish with machine threading for reliable holding power, these Element RC screws represent the kind of quality attention to detail that separates serious RC enthusiasts from casual users. When you invest in an RC truck or trail machine, protecting that investment with genuine replacement parts is always the right choice. RC Model Shop stocks these screws as part of our comprehensive range of Element RC spares and tune-ups, making it easy for UK-based RC hobbyists to access the exact parts they need without delay.
Key Features
- M2.5 Thread Size — These screws feature an M2.5 metric thread specification, ensuring they fit precisely into the threaded holes of compatible Element RC models without forcing or cross-threading, which could damage expensive aluminium chassis components.
- 14mm Length — At 14mm in overall length, these fasteners are sized perfectly for the specific mounting points on Element RC enduro and trail truck platforms, providing adequate depth for secure holding without protruding and interfering with moving parts or suspension components.
- Flat Head Cap Screw (FHCS) Design — The countersunk head design sits flush with the mounting surface, providing a clean aesthetic appearance and preventing the screw head from catching on adjacent components, which is particularly important on trail trucks navigating rough terrain where every millimetre counts.
- Hex Socket Driver — Equipped with a standard hex socket, these screws are driven using conventional hex keys or Allen wrenches, tools that virtually every RC enthusiast already has in their workshop or maintenance kit.
- Machine Threading — The precision machine-threaded design ensures consistent engagement with threaded holes, providing superior holding power compared to self-tapping alternatives and reducing the risk of fastener loosening during aggressive driving.
- Black Finish — The black coating provides both aesthetic consistency with modern Element RC models and subtle corrosion resistance, helping the screws maintain their appearance and function even during outdoor bashing sessions.
- Pack of 10 — This generous quantity means you have multiple fasteners for the current job plus spares for future maintenance, repairs, or complete rebuilds without needing to reorder immediately after a single project.
- OEM Genuine Part — Being official Element RC components, these screws are guaranteed compatible with the models listed, eliminating any guesswork about fit, finish, or material specification when performing repairs or modifications.
Technical Performance
The Element RC M2.5x14mm FHCS represents professional-grade fastener engineering designed specifically for the demands of modern RC trail trucks and enduro vehicles. These screws are manufactured to precision tolerances that ensure reliable engagement with the threaded inserts and holes found throughout Element RC chassis, suspension components, and structural assemblies. The machine threading provides significantly greater holding power than self-tapping alternatives, which is crucial given the vibration, impact, and dynamic stresses that RC vehicles experience during off-road driving. The M2.5 metric specification aligns with the dimensional standards employed across the Element RC product range, meaning these fasteners integrate seamlessly into your existing vehicle without requiring adaptation or modification. The 14mm length has been carefully calculated to provide adequate thread engagement depth—typically 8-10mm into the receiving hole—whilst avoiding bottoming out or creating stress concentration points. The flat head countersunk design distributes load across a wider area than traditional cap screws, reducing the risk of pulling through soft materials or damaging painted surfaces. The black finish is applied through a robust coating process that provides both cosmetic appeal and a degree of corrosion resistance, particularly valuable for vehicles used in wet conditions or stored in damp environments. Each screw undergoes quality control testing to verify dimensional accuracy, thread quality, and material hardness, ensuring that when you install these fasteners into your trail truck or enduro vehicle, they will maintain their clamping force throughout aggressive use without loosening, stripping, or failing prematurely.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What Element RC models are these screws compatible with? — These M2.5x14mm FHCS screws are confirmed compatible with the Element RC Enduro Ecto Trail Truck RTR in green (EL40117), the Element RC Enduro Trail Truck Zuul Tan RTR (EL40124), the Element RC Enduro Ecto Trail Truck RTR in black (EL40122), the Element RC Enduro Ecto Trail Truck RTR in grey with portal axles (EL40130), the Element RC Enduro Sendero HD Titanium RTR (EL40120), the Element RC Enduro Trailwalker RTR in black (EL40119), and the Element RC Enduro Trail Truck Sendero HD RTR in black (EL40123). If you own any of these ready to run RC models, these screws are designed specifically for your vehicle.
- How many screws are in each pack? — Each pack contains 10 individual M2.5x14mm FHCS screws, providing ample quantity for multiple mounting points, repairs, or complete rebuilds, plus spares for future use.
- What is the difference between FHCS and regular cap screws? — FHCS stands for Flat Head Cap Screw, meaning the head is countersunk to sit flush with the mounting surface rather than protruding like a standard cap screw. This flush design is critical in RC vehicles where any protruding fastener could catch on obstacles, interfere with suspension movement, or compromise the vehicle's aerodynamics and appearance.
- Can I use these screws as replacements if my originals are lost or damaged? — Yes, these are genuine OEM Element RC components, so they are exact replacements for the original screws that came with your Element RC trail truck or enduro vehicle. If you've lost screws due to crash damage or removed them and misplaced them during maintenance, these replacements will fit perfectly.
- What tools do I need to install these screws? — You will need a hex key or Allen wrench in the appropriate size for the socket head. Most RC enthusiasts already have a complete hex key set in their workshop, making installation straightforward and requiring no special tools.
- Are these screws suitable for beginners? — Yes, absolutely. These are simple fasteners with no special installation requirements. As long as you have a hex key and can turn it gently without over-tightening, you can install these screws. A good rule of thumb is to tighten until snug, then stop—you don't need to apply excessive force as the small size of these fasteners means even moderate hand pressure is sufficient.
- Will these screws work on other RC brands? — These screws are specifically designed for Element RC models. Whilst the M2.5x14mm specification is a standard metric size, using them on other brands risks incompatibility with threaded hole specifications or spacing, so they are best reserved for Element RC vehicles.
- How should I store these screws? — Keep them in a dry location, ideally in a small container or parts organiser so they don't get lost. The black finish provides some corrosion resistance, but storing them in a dry environment will ensure they remain in perfect condition indefinitely.
