Key Features
- M4 Thread Size — The M4 metric thread specification ensures compatibility with FTX RC vehicles and various other RC models that utilise this standard fastener size, making these screws a versatile addition to any RC enthusiast's spare parts collection.
- 6mm Length — The precise 6mm length is engineered to mate perfectly with FTX RC components, providing the ideal engagement depth without excessive protrusion that could interfere with moving parts or cause assembly issues.
- Button Head Design — The button head profile offers a compact, low-profile fastening solution that sits flush with component surfaces, reducing the risk of catching on suspension components, bodywork or other chassis elements during operation.
- Philips/Pozidriv Driver Type — The Pozi-compatible drive type provides secure engagement with standard RC toolkit screwdrivers, minimising the risk of cam-out or stripping the fastener head during installation or removal, which is critical for precision RC work.
- Machine Thread Construction — These machine-thread screws are designed for use with threaded inserts or pre-drilled holes with matching threads, ensuring proper fastening without the damage that self-tapping screws can cause to precision RC components.
- Black Anodised Finish — The black anodised coating provides excellent corrosion resistance and durability, protecting against the elements whilst maintaining a professional appearance on your RC vehicle, whether you're running on dry ground or in damp UK conditions.
- Six-Piece Pack — The convenient six-pack quantity means you have spares for multiple repair jobs or component replacements, ensuring you're never caught short when your RC car needs maintenance or repair.
Technical Performance
These FTX Philips/Cross Head Hex Screws represent the kind of precision engineering that separates quality RC vehicles from inferior alternatives. Constructed from hardened steel with an M4 metric thread specification, these fasteners are engineered to withstand the considerable stresses placed on RC car chassis and suspension components. The 6mm length provides optimal engagement with FTX component threaded holes, ensuring maximum holding force without creating assembly problems. The button head design minimises aerodynamic drag and reduces the profile of the fastener, which is particularly important on high-performance RC buggies, crawlers and off-road vehicles where every millimetre counts. The Pozi-compatible drive type ensures secure grip without cam-out, a critical consideration when working with premium RC components where fastener damage can compromise the integrity of expensive chassis parts. Whether you're undertaking routine maintenance on your RC car, replacing worn or damaged fasteners, or building a custom RC setup from component parts, these machine-thread screws deliver the reliability and precision that serious RC enthusiasts demand. The black anodised finish provides long-lasting corrosion resistance, making these screws suitable for use in challenging conditions ranging from dry UK summer terrain to damp autumn and winter driving environments.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What FTX RC vehicles use M4×6 hex screws? — These screws are compatible with a wide range of FTX RC models including the Vantage, Carnage, Outlaw, Banzai, Zorro and many other FTX scale RC vehicles. Check your specific model's manual or parts diagram to confirm compatibility, as different FTX models may utilise these fasteners in different quantities and locations.
- Are these screws suitable for beginners? — Yes, absolutely. These are standard replacement fasteners that any RC hobbyist can install using basic tools. If you're new to RC car maintenance and repair, these screws are an excellent starting point for learning about RC vehicle assembly and component replacement. Always use the correct size Pozi screwdriver to avoid damaging the screw head.
- How many screws do I need for typical RC repairs? — This pack contains six screws, which is sufficient for most common RC car repairs and maintenance tasks. However, if you're undertaking extensive chassis work or building a completely custom RC setup, you may wish to order multiple packs to ensure you have adequate fasteners on hand.
- What is the difference between these Pozi-head screws and Phillips-head screws? — Whilst similar in appearance, Pozi-head screws feature additional smaller lines that provide better grip and reduced risk of cam-out compared to traditional Phillips heads. This makes Pozi-compatible fasteners preferable for precision RC work where fastener failure could compromise the integrity of expensive components.
- Can these screws be used on other RC brands besides FTX? — Yes, the M4×6 specification is a standard metric size that may be compatible with various other RC brands using the same thread size. However, always verify that your specific RC vehicle uses M4 threaded holes before ordering, as different manufacturers may use different fastener specifications.
- Are the screws rust-proof? — The black anodised finish provides excellent corrosion resistance and will protect against rust in most UK conditions. However, the anodised coating is not completely impervious to damage, so handle the screws carefully and store them in a dry environment to maximise their lifespan.
