Overview
The FTX Button Head 2x4mm Screws are essential fastening components designed for RC enthusiasts maintaining and customising their FTX remote control models. Whether you're a seasoned RC car UK builder, a weekend basher, or someone discovering the world of RC hobby engineering for the first time, having quality replacement screws on hand is crucial for keeping your RC vehicles in peak condition. These button head screws are precision-engineered to provide reliable fastening across a wide range of FTX RC models, from rock crawlers to high-speed buggies and trucks.
Button head screws are a preferred choice in the RC hobby community because of their distinctive rounded head design, which offers a cleaner aesthetic finish whilst maintaining exceptional holding strength. Unlike traditional flat-head or Phillips head screws, button head fasteners distribute load more evenly across the assembly point, reducing the risk of stripping or damaging delicate RC components. The 2x4mm specification makes these screws versatile enough to handle multiple assembly and repair tasks on most FTX model ranges without compromising the structural integrity of your RC vehicle.
This 8-piece pack ensures you always have spare button head screws available for routine maintenance, repairs, upgrades, or when experimenting with new hop-ups and modifications on your FTX RC car. Whether you're working on an FTX Outback, Carnage, DR8, or any other model in the extensive FTX catalogue, these screws represent a smart investment for any RC enthusiast's tool kit and spare parts collection.

Technical Performance
The FTX Button Head 2x4mm Screws represent precision fastening engineering tailored specifically for the demands of remote control vehicle maintenance and customisation. Manufactured to OEM specifications, these button head fasteners are engineered from quality materials designed to resist corrosion and maintain holding strength through repeated assembly and disassembly cycles. The button head design—featuring a smooth, rounded crown—distributes clamping force across a larger surface area compared to traditional Phillips or flat-head screws, significantly reducing the likelihood of component damage during installation or removal. This design philosophy is particularly important when working with plastic RC bodies, aluminium chassis components, and delicate suspension linkages that characterise modern FTX vehicles. The 2x4mm dimension is carefully selected to balance strength with weight considerations, a critical factor in RC engineering where every gram matters for performance. These screws are suitable for use in a wide variety of assembly applications across the FTX product range, from suspension adjustments and differential maintenance to body panel fastening and electronic component mounting. The precision manufacturing ensures consistent threading and fit, eliminating the loose fasteners or cross-threading issues that can compromise the reliability of your RC investment. Whether you're performing routine maintenance on your FTX Outback 2.0, making performance hop-ups to your FTX Carnage NT, or assembling a new build, these screws provide the dependable fastening solution that serious RC enthusiasts demand.
