Key Features

• M3 Metric Thread Size — These screws feature a standard M3 metric thread, ensuring precise compatibility with FTX RC vehicle chassis and components that are engineered to accept M3 fasteners, preventing cross-threading and securing components reliably.
• 20mm Length — The 20mm overall length provides sufficient grip depth for critical mounting points on FTX RC cars and crawlers, holding components securely without protrusion or fouling with other parts.
• Countersunk Flat Head Design — The flat head profile sits flush with component surfaces, creating a clean, aerodynamic finish on your RC model whilst reducing the risk of snagging on terrain during bashing or competition use.
• Hexagon Socket Head — The internal hex socket accommodates standard hex keys and Allen wrenches, providing excellent torque transfer and grip to prevent cam-out, making installation and removal straightforward for RC enthusiasts at any skill level.
• Machine Thread Construction — These are precision machine-cut threads rather than rolled threads, delivering superior holding power and reduced risk of thread stripping when tightened to specification on your RC vehicle chassis.
• Black Finish — The black oxide or steel finish provides corrosion resistance, protecting your fasteners from moisture and dirt that accumulates during off-road RC driving, extending the lifespan of these critical spares.
• Pack of Six — The generous six-piece pack ensures you have multiple replacement fasteners available, reducing the need for frequent reordering and keeping your RC workshop well-stocked with essential spares.

Technical Performance

The FTX Flat Head Hex 6pcs M3*20 represents genuine OEM engineering designed specifically for FTX RC vehicles. Machine thread construction delivers superior durability compared to standard consumer fasteners, with each screw engineered to withstand the vibration, impact, and stress inherent in RC car racing and bashing. The M3 metric specification ensures perfect alignment with FTX suspension mounts, chassis brackets, and component assemblies. The 20mm length provides optimal grip depth for mounting suspension links, body posts, and frame components without over-tightening or under-clamping. The countersunk flat head design is particularly important for RC vehicles where ground clearance matters—a protruding screw head can catch on jumps, rocks, or obstacles, potentially causing damage. The hexagon socket accepts both standard and ball-end hex keys, providing the mechanic flexibility when working in tight spaces during RC vehicle maintenance. These screws are compatible with a wide range of FTX models including the FTX5557WO Zorro Trophy Truck Brushless RTR, making them an essential addition to your spares collection if you run multiple FTX RC vehicles.

Frequently Asked Questions

• What FTX RC vehicles are compatible with M3*20 screws? — These M3*20 flat head hex screws are confirmed compatible with the FTX5557WO Zorro Trophy Truck Brushless RTR and are standard replacement parts across the FTX range. Always verify your specific model requires M3*20 fasteners before ordering, as different FTX vehicles use various screw sizes depending on the application.
• Why should I buy genuine FTX spares instead of generic fasteners? — Genuine OEM FTX spares like the FTX6540 are engineered to exact tolerances and material specifications that match your RC vehicle's design. Using genuine parts ensures optimal fit, prevents thread damage, and maintains the structural integrity of your RC model. Generic fasteners may vary in thread pitch, length, or head style, potentially causing fitment issues or component failure.
• How often will I need replacement M3*20 screws? — The frequency depends on your RC driving intensity and conditions. Weekend bashers may need replacements every few months, whilst competition racers running multiple practice sessions weekly may need spares more frequently. Keeping a pack of six screws on hand ensures you're never left without critical fasteners when a component needs securing.
• Can these screws be used on other RC brands? — Whilst M3*20 is a standard metric size used across many RC manufacturers, FTX screws are optimised for FTX vehicles. Other RC brands like Traxxas, ARRMA, and Losi may use different specifications. Always verify the exact screw size and type required for non-FTX vehicles before substituting.
• What tools do I need to install these screws? — You'll need either a standard hex key (Allen wrench) or a ball-end hex key that fits M3 sockets. Both types work equally well, though ball-end keys provide slightly more flexibility when working at angles in tight spaces on your RC chassis.
• Are these screws weatherproof? — The black finish provides corrosion resistance suitable for standard RC off-road use in wet conditions. However, for serious water submersion or salt-water running, consider applying a thin coat of silicone grease to fasteners to prevent corrosion in extreme conditions.
