Key Features
- Self-Tapping Design — These screws are engineered to cut their own thread as they are installed, which means you can drive them directly into softer materials without pre-drilling, saving time during assembly and making repairs quicker and more straightforward for RC model builders of all experience levels.
- Hex Socket Head — The hex socket design allows you to use an Allen key for precise, controlled fastening that won't round out or slip, ensuring proper torque application and preventing damage to critical assembly points on your RC vehicle.
- Round Head Profile — The distinctive round head provides excellent grip and a professional finished appearance, whilst offering sufficient contact area to prevent the screw from pulling through softer materials commonly found in RC model construction.
- 2*10 Specification — These screws measure 2mm diameter with a 10mm length, making them ideal for medium-duty fastening applications on FTX RC cars, buggies, crawlers and other electric RC vehicles where secure but lightweight connections are required.
- Six-Piece Pack — This convenient pack contains six individual screws, providing enough spares for routine maintenance, repairs on multiple RC models, or complete rebuilds of critical assemblies without requiring multiple purchases.
- Genuine FTX Parts — As official FTX manufactured spare parts, these screws are guaranteed to be compatible with the full range of FTX RC vehicles and meet the exacting quality standards required for reliable performance in competitive and recreational RC use.
Technical Performance
These self-tapping hex screws represent precision engineering at the component level, demonstrating FTX's commitment to quality throughout their product ecosystem. The 2mm diameter with 10mm length specification provides an optimal balance between holding strength and weight savings, critical considerations in RC model design where every gram matters for performance and handling characteristics. The self-tapping thread design means these screws will securely bite into plastic, composite and softer materials commonly used in RC chassis construction, suspension mounts and body panels. The hex socket accommodation ensures you can apply proper fastening torque without risk of camming out or stripping the screw head, a common problem with Phillips or slot-head alternatives. Whether you're performing routine maintenance on your ready to run RC vehicle, replacing damaged fasteners after a serious bash session, or undertaking a complete rebuild, these genuine FTX spares deliver the reliability and compatibility that serious RC enthusiasts demand. The precision manufacturing ensures consistent thread cutting and minimal variability between pieces, meaning all six screws in this pack will perform identically and provide uniform holding force across multiple fastening points on your RC model.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What models are these FTX hex screws compatible with? — These genuine FTX spare parts are designed for use across the entire FTX range of 1/10th scale and larger electric RC vehicles, including the Outback series, Carnage models, Bugsta, Kanyon, Vantage, Siege, Stinger, and many other FTX RC cars, crawlers and buggies. Check your specific model's parts list or contact our team to confirm fitment if you're unsure.
- Are self-tapping screws better than regular screws for RC models? — Self-tapping screws offer significant advantages for RC assembly and maintenance. They cut their own thread as you drive them in, eliminating the need to pre-drill holes and making assembly faster. For RC applications where you might need to remove and reinstall screws regularly for repairs or upgrades, self-tapping designs grip more effectively and reduce the risk of thread stripping that occurs with traditional fasteners in softer plastic materials.
- What size Allen key do I need for these hex screws? — The source information provided does not specify the exact Allen key size required. We recommend checking your FTX RC vehicle's instruction manual or contacting our RC Model Shop team, who can confirm the correct tool size for these 2*10 hex screws. Using the correctly sized Allen key is essential to prevent rounding the hex socket and damaging the screw.
- How many screws are in this pack? — This pack contains six individual FTX Round Head Self Tapping Hex Screws measuring 2mm diameter by 10mm length. For most RC builders, this provides enough spares for several repair jobs or one complete rebuild of a major assembly.
- Can I use these screws on other RC brand vehicles? — Whilst the 2*10 specification may physically fit some other brands, we strongly recommend using genuine FTX parts on FTX vehicles to ensure compatibility, proper fit and reliable performance. Other RC manufacturers design their chassis and assemblies around specific fastener geometries, so mixing brands can result in poor fitment or stripped threads.
