Technical Performance
The FTX Set Screw M3 X 10mm represents precision fastening engineering optimised for the demanding requirements of RC model vehicles. These metric thread set screws are manufactured to exacting tolerances to ensure reliable holding power on critical drivetrain and mechanical components. The M3 thread size is the industry-standard fastening specification used throughout FTX's comprehensive model range, which includes everything from compact 1/18th scale crawlers to full-size 1/10th scale rock crawlers, buggies, and trail vehicles. The 10mm length is specifically engineered to provide adequate shaft or bore engagement without excessive protrusion, which is critical in RC applications where space is often limited and every millimetre counts towards achieving proper component alignment and fitment. These set screws are ideal for securing motor shafts to pinion gears, fastening servo arms, securing suspension components, and numerous other assembly applications throughout your RC vehicle. The quality construction ensures that once tightened, these screws maintain consistent clamping force throughout intensive driving sessions, whether you're bashing on rough terrain, competing in organised races, or enjoying casual weekend driving with fellow RC enthusiasts across the UK.
