Key Features
- M2 Thread Size — The M2 metric thread specification ensures these screws are compatible with FTX models and other RC vehicles that use standard M2 fastening points, providing universal compatibility across multiple platforms and applications.
- 12mm Length — The 12mm length is specifically engineered to suit the most common fastening requirements on FTX RC vehicles, offering sufficient depth for secure assembly without protruding excessively.
- Button Head Design — The button head profile provides a sleek, finished appearance compared to standard hexagonal screws, giving your RC model a more polished look whilst maintaining excellent grip characteristics for assembly and disassembly.
- Hex Driver Type — These screws feature a hex socket head, allowing you to use standard hex keys (Allen keys) for installation and removal, making them quick and convenient to work with during maintenance and repairs.
- Black Colour Finish — The black finish offers excellent corrosion resistance and complements the aesthetic of most modern RC vehicles, ensuring these screws maintain their appearance even after extended use in dusty, muddy off-road environments.
- Machine Thread Specification — Engineered with precision machine threading, these fasteners deliver consistent, reliable holding power that won't strip or loosen under the vibrations and stresses of high-performance RC driving.
- Pack of Four — Receiving four screws in each pack ensures you have spares for multiple repairs or upgrades, reducing the need to purchase additional fasteners when undertaking comprehensive model rebuilds or customisations.
- Genuine FTX Product — These screws are manufactured by FTX and not imitation parts, guaranteeing compatibility and quality that matches the standards of your RC vehicle's original components.
Technical Performance
The FTX Outback Button Head Screw M2*12 (4) represents the kind of precision engineering that distinguishes quality RC models from budget alternatives. Every screw in this four-pack has been manufactured to exact tolerances, ensuring that the M2 thread engages cleanly and securely without binding or stripping. The button head design, combined with the hex socket driver type, provides an excellent balance of aesthetics and functionality. When you're maintaining your RC car or RC buggy, the quality of your fasteners directly impacts the reliability of your vehicle. These screws are black finished, offering both visual appeal and enhanced corrosion resistance—important when your RC model is subjected to wet grass, mud, and challenging outdoor terrain. The 12mm length has been carefully selected to suit the most common assembly points on FTX vehicles, delivering secure fastening without the risk of over-tightening or thread damage. Whether you're rebuilding after a crash, replacing worn components, or performing routine maintenance on your brushless RC car, these machine thread screws deliver the consistent holding power and durability you need for uninterrupted fun and competition.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What FTX models use M2*12 button head screws? — These screws are compatible with the extensive FTX Outback series and many other FTX RC vehicles. They appear throughout FTX's range of off-road RC cars, crawlers, and buggies. If you own any FTX model, these screws are likely to be useful for maintenance, repairs, or customisation. We recommend checking your vehicle's manual or contacting our team if you're unsure about compatibility with your specific model.
- Are these screws suitable for repairs on my RC car? — Yes, absolutely. These genuine FTX screws are perfect for replacing fasteners that have been lost or damaged during crashes or heavy use. The M2*12 specification is one of the most common sizes used across RC vehicles, making these screws a versatile addition to any RC enthusiast's parts box.
- How many screws do I need? — This pack contains four screws, which is typically sufficient for smaller repair jobs or component replacements. If you're undertaking a comprehensive rebuild or upgrading multiple vehicles, you may wish to purchase several packs to ensure you have an adequate supply of spares on hand.
- What type of tools do I need to install these screws? — The hex socket design means you'll need a standard hex key (Allen key) to install and remove these screws. Most RC builders have a selection of hex keys in various sizes, and a 1.5mm hex key is the correct size for M2 fasteners. This makes installation quick and convenient without requiring specialist tools.
- Why should I use genuine FTX screws instead of generic fasteners? — Genuine FTX screws are engineered to the exact tolerances and specifications required for FTX vehicles, ensuring perfect compatibility and reliable performance. Using genuine parts also supports the manufacturer and ensures you're receiving quality components that meet safety and durability standards. Generic fasteners may fit but could compromise the integrity of your vehicle.
- Are these screws waterproof? — Whilst the screws themselves are black finished for corrosion resistance, they are not specially sealed. For maximum durability in wet conditions, ensure you dry your vehicle thoroughly after muddy or wet weather running, and inspect fasteners regularly for signs of corrosion or loosening.
