Overview
The FTX Outback Countersunk Screw M2*6 is an essential replacement part for FTX RC models and other compatible RC vehicles. These high-quality fasteners are specifically designed to fit seamlessly into the suspension, chassis, and body components of your RC car, ensuring secure assembly and reliable performance during intense off-road adventures. Whether you're a seasoned RC enthusiast running FTX models across the UK or a hobbyist looking to maintain your RC car collection, having spare countersunk screws on hand is crucial for keeping your vehicle in peak condition.
Countersunk screws are a vital component in RC vehicle maintenance and repair. Unlike standard screws that protrude above the surface, countersunk screws sit flush with the material, providing a clean, professional finish and preventing snags or catches that could affect aerodynamics or cause damage during rough terrain driving. The FTX Outback Countersunk Screw M2*6 pack includes eight individual screws, giving you plenty of spares for repairs, upgrades, or complete vehicle rebuilds. This makes it an ideal choice for RC enthusiasts who regularly maintain their vehicles or those who enjoy customising and upgrading their RC setups.
As an authorised FTX retailer, RC Model Shop stocks genuine OEM replacement parts to ensure compatibility and quality. These M2*6 countersunk screws are engineered to FTX's exacting standards and work perfectly with the extensive range of FTX Outback models and compatible vehicles. Whether you need to replace worn or stripped fasteners, or you're simply building up a spare parts inventory for your RC hobby, these countersunk screws are a cost-effective investment in the longevity and reliability of your RC car.
Key Features
- M2 Thread Size — The M2 metric thread specification ensures perfect compatibility with FTX Outback models and other RC vehicles designed for this standard fastener size, guaranteeing a secure fit every time.
- 6mm Length — The 6mm length is precisely engineered to work with FTX suspension mounts, chassis components, and body panels, ensuring proper engagement without bottoming out or leaving excess thread exposed.
- Countersunk Head Design — The countersunk head sits flush with the mounting surface, creating a clean aesthetic finish and eliminating any protruding edges that could interfere with vehicle performance or cause damage during high-speed running.
- Hex Driver Type — The hex socket design allows for quick, secure tightening and loosening using a standard hex key, making maintenance and repairs straightforward and efficient without specialist tools.
- Machine Thread Construction — These are machine threads rather than wood screws, providing consistent grip and load distribution across the fastening point, which is essential for the demanding conditions RC vehicles experience.
- Silver Colour Finish — The silver metal finish not only provides a professional appearance but also offers corrosion resistance, maintaining the integrity of your RC vehicle even after exposure to wet terrain and muddy conditions common in UK off-road RC running.
- Pack of Eight — Each pack contains eight individual screws, providing multiple replacement options or allowing you to complete comprehensive repair and rebuild projects without needing to purchase multiple packs.
Technical Performance
The FTX Outback Countersunk Screw M2*6 represents quality fastening engineering designed specifically for the demands of RC vehicle ownership and maintenance. These screws are manufactured to precise metric standards, with the M2 designation indicating a 2mm diameter thread that mates perfectly with the suspension pickups, chassis mounting points, and body retention areas found on FTX Outback series vehicles and compatible RC cars. The 6mm length has been carefully calculated to provide optimal engagement depth without over-tightening concerns or thread bottoming issues. The countersunk head design means the screw retracts fully into the mounting hole, providing a flush finish that maintains the aerodynamic integrity of your RC vehicle whilst also preventing potential catches or impacts that could damage expensive body panels or suspension components during competitive driving or casual weekend bashing. The hex socket driver allows for precise torque application using standard hex tools, ensuring consistent fastening without the risk of stripping that can occur with Phillips head or slot-head alternatives. The machine thread construction provides superior holding power compared to wood screw designs, making these fasteners ideal for load-bearing applications in RC suspension and chassis assemblies where vibration and impact forces are constant factors. The silver metallic finish provides genuine corrosion resistance, which is particularly important for UK-based RC enthusiasts who regularly expose their vehicles to wet terrain, mud, and damp storage conditions. These are genuine OEM FTX parts, ensuring absolute compatibility and performance with your RC vehicle collection.

- Will these screws work with other RC brands? — Whilst these are FTX-branded parts optimised for FTX vehicles, the M2*6 specification is a standard metric fastener size. However, for guaranteed compatibility, we recommend confirming that your specific RC vehicle model uses M2*6 countersunk fasteners before purchasing. If you're unsure, our knowledgeable team at RC Model Shop can advise you on fitment.
