Overview
The FTX Havok Flathead Self Tapping Screws 2.3 x 10mm represent an essential maintenance and repair component for RC enthusiasts operating FTX Havok drift vehicles in the UK. These precision-engineered fasteners are specifically designed to match the exact requirements of the FTX Havok Drift Truck and FTX Havok Drift Roadster models, ensuring reliable assembly and secure fastening throughout your model. Whether you're a dedicated drifter who pushes your RC car to the limit on a regular basis, or a casual basher who enjoys weekend sessions, having a reliable supply of replacement screws is fundamental to keeping your model in top condition.
RC car maintenance often involves frequent adjustments, repairs, and component replacements, particularly when you're actively driving your model over varied terrain or through competitive drift sessions. The self-tapping design of these screws means they can create their own thread path when inserted into pre-drilled holes, eliminating the need for separate tapping operations and making repairs faster and more convenient. This pack contains 12 individual screws, providing you with multiple replacement fasteners so you're never caught short during a maintenance session or after a crash. For serious RC model owners in the UK who demand quality replacement parts, these FTX Havok screws deliver the dependable performance you need.
FTX has established itself as a trusted name in the RC hobby, delivering models and spare parts that represent excellent value without compromising on quality. These flathead self-tapping screws are manufactured to precise tolerances, ensuring consistent performance across every screw in the pack. The flathead design allows screws to sit flush with component surfaces, maintaining the sleek appearance of your drift model whilst providing maximum holding power where it matters most.
Key Features
- Self-Tapping Design — The self-tapping thread pattern means these screws can cut their own thread when driven into pre-drilled holes, eliminating the need for traditional tapping tools and making repairs quick and straightforward for RC enthusiasts of all skill levels.
- Flathead Profile — The flathead countersunk design allows screws to sit flush with component surfaces, maintaining a clean aesthetic appearance on your FTX Havok drift model whilst ensuring secure fastening without protruding edges.
- Precise 2.3 x 10mm Dimensions — These screws are manufactured to exact specifications matching the original FTX Havok components, ensuring perfect compatibility and reliable fitment every time you need to perform maintenance or repairs.
- 12-Piece Pack — Each pack contains 12 individual screws, providing you with multiple replacements so you always have spares available when you need them, whether for scheduled maintenance or emergency repairs after damage.

Technical Performance
These FTX Havok Flathead Self Tapping Screws are precision-manufactured fasteners engineered specifically for the FTX Havok 1/14th scale drift vehicle platform. The 2.3mm shaft diameter and 10mm length represent the exact specifications required for critical assembly points on the FTX Havok Drift Truck and Drift Roadster models. The self-tapping thread design incorporates carefully engineered pitch and profile geometry that allows the screws to effectively cut and form threads as they are driven into pre-drilled plastic or composite materials commonly used in RC model construction. The flathead countersunk design ensures that screw heads can be installed flush with component surfaces, which is particularly important in drift vehicle applications where aerodynamic profile and aesthetic appearance matter to enthusiasts who take their models seriously. The material composition ensures sufficient hardness and strength to securely hold components in place under the dynamic stress of drift driving, including acceleration, deceleration, cornering forces, and impact loads. These screws represent a consumable spare part that all serious FTX Havok owners should maintain in their workshop, as fastener loss or damage during crashes is common in high-energy RC drift applications. The pack of 12 screws provides sufficient quantity for rebuilding multiple assemblies or maintaining a long-term supply for regular maintenance and repair cycles.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Are these screws compatible with my FTX Havok model? — Yes, these FTX Havok Flathead Self Tapping Screws 2.3 x 10mm are specifically designed for compatibility with the FTX Havok Drift Truck (available in blue FTX5597BL and yellow FTX5597YL variants) and the FTX Havok Drift Roadster (available in blue FTX5598BL and yellow FTX5598YL variants). They are genuine FTX spare parts engineered to the exact specifications required by these models.
- What makes self-tapping screws better than regular fasteners? — Self-tapping screws are superior for RC model applications because they cut their own thread path as they are installed, eliminating the need for pre-tapping holes with separate tools. This makes repairs faster, easier, and more accessible to enthusiasts of all skill levels. For RC car owners, this means you can perform field repairs or maintenance without carrying specialised equipment.
- How many screws are in this pack? — This pack contains 12 individual screws, providing multiple replacement fasteners for repairs, rebuilds, or maintenance of your FTX Havok drift model. This quantity is sufficient for replacing damaged fasteners or rebuilding several assemblies.
- Why are flathead screws better for RC models? — Flathead countersunk screws sit flush with component surfaces, which is important for RC models where aerodynamic profile and clean appearance matter. Unlike panhead screws that protrude above the surface, flathead screws maintain the sleek look of your drift vehicle whilst still providing secure fastening.
- How do I use self-tapping screws for repairs? — Simply align the screw with the pre-drilled hole in your component and drive it in using an appropriately sized screwdriver or hex driver. The self-tapping design means the screw will form its own thread as it travels into the hole. No pre-tapping with separate tools is required, making the repair process straightforward and convenient.
- Where should I store these screws? — Keep your spare screws in a cool, dry place, preferably in the original packaging or a small compartment organiser. This helps prevent loss and ensures they remain in perfect condition for when you need them.
- Are these genuine FTX parts? — Yes, these are authentic FTX spare parts manufactured to the same quality standards as the components included with your FTX Havok model. Using genuine spare parts ensures perfect compatibility and long-term reliability.
