Technical Performance
The FTX EDGE/SIEGE COUNTERSUNK SCREW 2.5X17MM represents the engineering precision that FTX brings to all its components and spares. Countersunk screws are specifically designed for applications where a flush surface finish is essential, particularly important in RC vehicles where aerodynamic profile and terrain interaction matter significantly. The 2.5mm diameter provides adequate structural strength for the Edge and Siege models' requirements, whilst the 17mm length ensures proper engagement with the fastening points specified in the original design. The countersunk head geometry means the entire fastening profile sits below the surface plane, eliminating protrusions that could catch on rocks, vegetation, or obstacles during trail running or rock crawling activities. This design feature is particularly valuable for crawler-style RC vehicles like the Siege, which operate in challenging terrain where every millimetre of clearance matters. The screw's construction quality ensures resistance to vibration-induced loosening, a critical consideration in RC vehicles that experience continuous shock loads and impacts during operation. Whether you're performing routine maintenance on your FTX Edge or Siege, rebuilding damaged sections, or simply maintaining a spare parts inventory, this genuine FTX fastener provides the reliability and precision fit that keeps your RC car performing at its best.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Which FTX models use the 2.5x17mm countersunk screw? — This screw is specifically designed for the FTX Edge and FTX Siege models. It may also be compatible with other FTX platforms, but it is officially specified for these two models as primary applications.
- Why should I buy genuine FTX spares instead of generic fasteners? — Genuine OEM spares like this FTX countersunk screw are manufactured to exact specifications and quality standards that guarantee perfect fit, proper material composition, and reliable performance. Generic fasteners may have slightly different dimensions or materials that could affect fitment or durability, whilst genuine parts ensure your RC car maintains optimal performance.
- How many of these screws do I need to replace? — This depends on which component you're repairing or rebuilding. We recommend purchasing this screw individually if you only need one or two replacements for a specific repair, and if you're doing a complete rebuild or maintenance, you may want to order several as backup spares.
- Is this countersunk screw suitable for beginners? — Yes, absolutely. Replacing fasteners is one of the most straightforward maintenance tasks in RC hobbying, making it ideal for beginners learning basic model maintenance. You simply need a correctly-sized screwdriver or hex key appropriate to the screw's drive type, and the countersunk design actually makes installation easier by guiding the screw into its seat.
- What tools do I need to install this screw? — You will need an appropriate screwdriver or hex key that matches the screw's drive type (Phillips head, slot, hex, etc.). Ensure you have the correct size to avoid stripping the screw head, and use moderate tightening force rather than excessive force, as over-tightening can strip the head or crack plastic components.
- Where exactly on my FTX Edge or Siege does this screw go? — The 2.5x17mm countersunk screw is used in multiple locations throughout the Edge and Siege chassis for various fastening applications. Refer to your vehicle's assembly manual or parts diagram for specific screw locations, or contact our expert team who can advise on the exact placement for your particular application.
- Are these screws weather-resistant? — FTX fasteners are manufactured from materials that resist corrosion, making them suitable for use in damp conditions typical of UK RC environments. However, regular maintenance and occasional cleaning are recommended to keep your RC vehicle in optimal condition.
