FTX Flat Head M2.5 x 10mm Machine Screws Pack of 8 FTX-SFH024

Overview

The FTX Flat Head M2.5 x 10mm Screws are essential replacement fasteners for RC enthusiasts maintaining and repairing their FTX RC models. Whether you're a seasoned RC car UK competitor or a weekend basher, having the correct replacement screws on hand is crucial for keeping your ready to run RC vehicles in peak condition. These precision-engineered machine screws are designed to meet FTX's exacting standards, ensuring reliable performance and secure assembly of critical components across the extensive FTX model range.

Pack contents include eight individual screws, providing you with multiple replacements for common maintenance tasks, repairs, and upgrades. The countersunk flat head design allows for flush fitting into recessed screw holes, creating a clean appearance whilst maintaining structural integrity. These screws are particularly valuable for RC hobbyists who regularly maintain their brushless RC cars, electric RC trucks, and other FTX-branded vehicles, ensuring you always have the correct fasteners available when needed.

RC Model Shop stocks genuine FTX spare parts to support your RC hobby, whether you're maintaining an FTX Crossbow truggy, FTX Outback series crawler, or any other FTX model in your collection. Quality fasteners are the foundation of reliable RC performance, and these M2.5 x 10mm screws represent the original equipment standard that FTX engineers specify for their vehicles.

Key Features

• M2.5 Thread Size — The M2.5 metric thread specification ensures perfect compatibility with FTX RC models that utilise this standard fastener size, preventing cross-threading and ensuring secure assembly without stripped threads.
• 10mm Length — The 10mm length is specifically engineered for FTX applications where this depth of fastening is required, providing optimal grip and holding power without protruding excessively or creating binding issues.
• Flat Head Countersunk Design — The countersunk head profile sits flush with the mounting surface, creating a clean aesthetic appearance and preventing the screw head from catching on other components or interfering with moving parts during operation.
• Hex Driver Type — These screws utilise a hex socket head, commonly known as Allen key or socket head screws, allowing for precise fastening with the correct driver to avoid stripping and ensure proper torque application.
• Machine Thread Construction — Machine threads are engineered for use with pre-drilled holes or threaded inserts, providing consistent engagement and reliable holding strength compared to self-tapping alternatives.
• Black Oxide Finish — The black finish provides corrosion resistance and a professional appearance, particularly important for RC vehicles that may be exposed to moisture, dirt, and outdoor conditions during use.
• Eight-Piece Pack — The eight-screw quantity provides multiple replacements for common maintenance, allowing you to handle several repair jobs or component replacements without immediately reordering.
• Genuine FTX Specification — These are original equipment manufacturer screws that meet FTX's engineering specifications, ensuring absolute compatibility and the reliability you expect from factory-standard components.

Technical Performance

The FTX Flat Head M2.5 x 10mm Screws represent precision fastening solutions engineered for demanding RC applications. The M2.5 metric thread size and 10mm length create a fastening combination used throughout the FTX model range, from crawlers to buggies to trucks. The countersunk flat head design is critical for RC vehicles where component clearance is essential; a protruding screw head could interfere with suspension components, moving joints, or create aerodynamic drag on body panels. The hex socket head driver type, whilst requiring the correct hex key size, provides superior grip compared to Phillips head or slotted alternatives, reducing the risk of stripping during fastening or removal. Machine thread construction ensures these screws work optimally in the pre-drilled holes and threaded inserts found throughout FTX vehicles, where the screw engages with precisely engineered threads rather than cutting its own path. The black oxide finish provides essential corrosion protection, particularly valuable for RC enthusiasts who bash their vehicles off-road or in wet conditions. Whether you're maintaining a brushless RC car with sensitive electronics or a traditional nitro-powered RC vehicle, having genuine OEM fasteners ensures that every assembly meets the manufacturer's structural and safety standards. These screws are the type of consumable components that serious RC hobbyists keep in their pit box or workshop, ensuring that minor fastener damage never interrupts a race day or weekend of RC fun.

Frequently Asked Questions

• What FTX models are these screws compatible with? — These M2.5 x 10mm flat head screws are compatible with FTX Crossbow 1/10 Brushless Truggy Truck models (both blue FTX5490BL and green FTX5490GN variants) and many other FTX vehicles in the extensive FTX model range. If you're unsure whether these are the correct fasteners for your specific FTX model, check your vehicle's spare parts diagram or contact RC Model Shop's expert team for compatibility confirmation.
• Why would I need replacement FTX screws? — RC vehicles experience vibration during operation, and fasteners can gradually loosen or occasionally vibrate free entirely. Additionally, screws can strip if over-tightened, cross-threaded during installation, or become damaged during repairs. Having genuine OEM replacement screws ensures you can restore your FTX model to factory specification without compromising reliability or performance.
• What tools do I need to install these screws? — These hex socket head screws require a hex key (Allen key) of the appropriate size to drive and remove them. Using the correct size hex key is important to avoid stripping the socket and damaging the screw, so ensure you have the correct size available before beginning any assembly or repair work.
• Are these suitable for both brushless RC cars and other FTX models? — Yes, these are genuine FTX specification fasteners used across their entire model range, including brushless electric RC cars, nitro-powered vehicles, RC crawlers, RC trucks, and RC buggies. The M2.5 x 10mm specification is a standard fastener size used throughout FTX's engineering, making these screws versatile spare parts for any FTX enthusiast's maintenance kit.
• How many replacement screws do I get? — This pack contains eight individual screws, providing multiple replacements for common maintenance tasks. If you require larger quantities for building multiple models or stocking your pit box, you can purchase additional packs to suit your needs.
• What is the difference between flat head and other screw types? — Flat head (countersunk) screws sit flush with the mounting surface rather than protruding above it. This is critical in RC vehicles where every millimetre of clearance matters, and a protruding screw head could catch on suspension components, interfere with moving parts, or create drag. The flat head design is the correct choice for FTX models engineered with recessed screw holes.
