Overview
The FTX Outback Button Head Screw M2*14 is an essential replacement and upgrade component for FTX RC models, particularly the popular Outback range of RC crawlers and off-road vehicles. These precision-engineered fasteners are designed to meet the exact specifications required for FTX Outback models, ensuring reliable assembly and disassembly during maintenance, repairs and customisation. Whether you're a seasoned RC enthusiast running FTX crawlers at your local RC club or a hobbyist enjoying weekend bashing with your Outback RC car in the UK, having spare button head screws in your toolkit is absolutely crucial for keeping your model in peak condition.
Button head screws are preferred by RC modellers for their aesthetic appeal and practical advantages over traditional flathead or pan head fasteners. The rounded, dome-shaped head sits neatly flush with your model's bodywork and internal components, reducing the risk of snagging cables or interfering with moving parts. This pack of four M2*14 button head screws in black finish provides reliable fastening solutions for common assembly points on your FTX Outback RC crawler or compatible FTX model. The machine thread design ensures consistent grip and durability through repeated use, making these screws ideal for applications where vibration and impact are common—exactly what you'd expect from serious RC off-road use.
At RC Model Shop, we understand that quality spare parts are the backbone of successful RC ownership. These genuine FTX components are manufactured to the same exacting standards as the vehicles they're designed for, guaranteeing perfect fitment and reliable performance every time you use them.
Key Features

- Black Finish — The black colour coating offers both aesthetic appeal and corrosion resistance, maintaining a professional appearance on your RC crawler whilst providing protection against oxidation and weathering during outdoor use.
- Machine Thread Construction — The machine thread profile ensures reliable grip and repeatability through multiple disassembly and reassembly cycles, critical for RC enthusiasts who regularly maintain and upgrade their vehicles.
- Hex Socket Drive — The hex socket drive type allows use of standard hex key tools for quick, tool-assisted assembly and removal, making maintenance and upgrades on your RC car more efficient and precise.

Technical Performance
The FTX Outback Button Head Screw M2*14 represents genuine OEM-specification fastening technology engineered for the demanding environment of off-road RC driving. These screws are manufactured to precise metric standards, with the M2 designation indicating a 2mm diameter thread that delivers optimal load-bearing capacity for the typical assembly points found across the FTX Outback crawler platform. The 14mm total length has been calculated to provide adequate thread engagement for secure fastening whilst maintaining clearance from internal components and moving suspension elements. The button head configuration features a rounded dome profile that sits significantly lower than conventional pan head or flathead screws, a critical design consideration for RC vehicles where every millimetre of clearance matters when routing suspension linkages, servo cables and electronic wiring through tight spaces. The black finish provides more than just visual appeal; the coating system offers genuine corrosion resistance and protection against the moisture and salt exposure that comes with outdoor RC use. The machine thread construction maintains consistent pitch and engagement characteristics through multiple assembly cycles, ensuring that the fasteners won't become loose or develop rattles during the vibration-heavy environment of rock crawling and off-road bashing. When combined with appropriate hex key tools and assembly practices, these genuine FTX spares deliver the reliability expected from purpose-built RC spare parts designed specifically for the Outback platform.

Check your specific model's parts diagram to confirm exact placement, but if you own any FTX Outback-series vehicle, you'll find multiple uses for these screws during routine maintenance and repairs.
- Why should I choose genuine FTX spare parts over generic alternatives? — Genuine FTX button head screws are engineered to precise specifications that match your model's assembly points perfectly, ensuring reliable fitment without the risk of stripping, loosening or interfering with suspension and electronic components. Generic screws may appear similar but often lack the precision tolerancing and material quality of OEM parts, potentially causing fitment issues or premature failure under the demanding conditions of off-road RC driving and rock crawling.
- How many screws does this pack contain and is that enough for my repairs? — This pack contains four button head screws, a convenient quantity for common replacement and repair scenarios. However, depending on the scope of your maintenance project, you may need to purchase additional packs if you're planning extensive assembly work or building up a comprehensive spare parts kit for long-term ownership of your FTX Outback RC crawler.
- What tools do I need to install these screws on my RC model? — The FTX Outback Button Head Screw features a hex socket drive, requiring a standard hex key of appropriate size for M2 fasteners. This tool-assisted design allows quick and precise assembly without risk of stripping the fastener head, making maintenance tasks on your RC car straightforward and professional.
- Are these screws suitable for beginners working on FTX RC models? — Absolutely. These genuine FTX spare screws are perfect for beginners learning to maintain and repair their RC vehicles. The standard hex socket drive and M2 metric sizing mean you can work with common, affordable tools, and having OEM-specification fasteners ensures you won't encounter fitment surprises or unexpected complications during your first maintenance projects.
- How do I know if I need to replace my button head screws? — You should inspect your screws regularly for signs of loosening, corrosion, stripping or damage to the hex socket drive. If you notice rattles during driving, stripped threads, visible corrosion or difficulty in tightening fasteners, it's time to replace them with fresh OEM parts like these genuine FTX screws to restore your RC model's structural integrity and reliability.
