Key Features

• M3 x 30mm Specification — This is a standard fastener size across numerous FTX RC models, making it a versatile addition to your spares collection. The metric M3 thread diameter with 30mm length suits various mounting applications on RC vehicles, from suspension components to body panel attachment points.
• Button Head Design — The button head profile provides a low-profile, clean appearance whilst offering superior grip for hex key tools. This design is particularly valuable in tight spaces on RC chassis where standard socket head or flat head screws might not fit properly or could snag on surrounding components.
• Hex Socket Drive — The internal hex socket ensures positive engagement with your hex key tool, reducing the risk of stripping the screw head during installation or removal. This is especially important when working with precision RC components where a secure fit is critical.
• Genuine FTX Manufacture — These screws are manufactured to FTX standards, ensuring they meet the exact specifications required for proper fit and function across the full range of FTX RC vehicles including crawlers, buggies, trucks, and more.
• Essential Spare Pack Item — As fasteners are consumable items in RC hobby use, keeping replacement M3 x 30mm button head hex screws in stock means you're never held up during maintenance, repairs, or upgrades to your FTX RC collection.

Technical Performance

The FTX Button Head Hex Screw M3 X 30 is precision-engineered to deliver consistent fastening performance across the entire FTX RC vehicle range. The M3 metric thread provides robust clamping force suitable for suspension mounting, chassis assembly, and body panel fixings on 1/10 scale and smaller RC models. Button head hex screws are engineered for applications where space is limited and a clean, flush-mounted appearance is desired. The 30mm overall length provides adequate thread engagement whilst keeping total fastener height minimal, which is crucial in tight packaging situations common on modern RC vehicles. The hex socket drive mechanism ensures reliable engagement with standard metric hex keys, delivering the torque transfer necessary to secure components without risk of cam-out or tool slipping. Whether you're assembling a fresh FTX build or maintaining your existing RC crawler, rock crawler, or off-road buggy, these fasteners meet the engineering standards expected from quality RC components. The button head design also means less protrusion into surrounding areas compared to socket head cap screws, making them ideal for RC applications where every millimetre of space matters.

Frequently Asked Questions

• What FTX RC models use M3 x 30mm button head hex screws? — This fastener size is common across the FTX RC vehicle range, including FTX Outback models, FTX crawlers, FTX buggies, and many other platforms. Check your specific model's manual or spares diagram to identify the exact mounting points where M3 x 30mm screws are required, but having these in stock means you're prepared for most FTX maintenance scenarios.
• Why should I choose button head hex screws over other fastener types? — Button head hex screws offer a lower profile compared to socket head cap screws, making them ideal for RC applications where component clearance is limited. The hex socket drive provides positive engagement with your tool, reducing the risk of stripping. They're also less likely to catch on body panels or suspension components during assembly.
• How often should I check and replace fasteners on my RC vehicle? — Regular inspection of all fasteners is recommended after each session, especially if you've had impacts or rough handling. Vibration during high-speed running or aggressive rock crawling can gradually loosen fasteners, so checking and re-tightening is part of standard RC maintenance. Having spare M3 x 30mm button head hex screws ensures you can immediately replace any that show signs of wear or damage.
• What size hex key do I need for M3 button head hex screws? — M3 button head hex screws typically use a 2.5mm hex key (also called Allen key or Allen wrench). Always use the correct size hex key to avoid stripping the socket or the fastener, which is particularly important when working on precision RC assemblies.
• Can these screws be used for upgrades and modifications? — Absolutely. Many RC enthusiasts use FTX spare fasteners when installing aftermarket components, upgraded suspension parts, or custom body panels. As long as the M3 x 30mm specification matches your mounting hole requirements, these button head hex screws provide the quality fastening solution you need.
• Are these screws compatible with both electric and nitro FTX models? — Yes, button head hex screws are fastening components used across both electric RC cars and nitro-powered vehicles. However, always verify the specific screw size required for your individual FTX model before ordering, as different models may use different fastener sizes depending on their design.
