Key Features
- M2 Thread Size — The M2 metric thread diameter makes these screws compatible with FTX Outback components engineered to accept this precise size, ensuring a perfect fit without forcing or stripping threads that can damage your RC model.
- 20mm Length — The 20mm length specification is designed for specific applications on the FTX Outback, providing the correct engagement depth for suspension mounts, chassis brackets, and drivetrain components without protrusion or insufficient grip.
- Button Head Design — The rounded button head profile offers a sleek, finished appearance whilst providing excellent grip for hex key installation, making these screws easier to remove and install during maintenance without marring the surrounding plastic or metal components.
- Hex Socket Driver — These button head screws feature a hex socket design that accepts standard hex keys, delivering superior torque control and reducing the risk of stripping compared to Phillips or slot drive alternatives commonly found on budget fasteners.
- Machine Thread Type — The machine thread specification ensures these screws work reliably with pre-threaded holes and inserts throughout your FTX Outback, providing consistent holding power and preventing loosening from vibration during rough off-road running.
- Black Finish — The black finish matches the professional appearance of FTX components and resists corrosion, maintaining aesthetic appeal whilst providing protection against oxidation and rust when exposed to dirt and moisture on the trail.
- Four-Pack Quantity — This convenient four-pack ensures you have multiple spare screws for repairs, rebuilds, or customisation projects, eliminating frustrating downtime caused by missing or stripped fasteners.
- Genuine FTX Spares — As official FTX Outback spare parts, these screws are manufactured to the exact specifications required by FTX engineers, guaranteeing compatibility and performance that aftermarket alternatives cannot match.
Technical Performance
The FTX Outback Button Head Screw M2*20 (4) represents precision engineering at its finest, manufactured to strict quality standards that FTX expects from all authorised component suppliers. These metric M2 fasteners with 20mm length are specifically designed for the FTX Outback rock crawler platform, where precision fitment is essential for maintaining structural integrity during demanding off-road adventures. The button head configuration provides superior ergonomics compared to standard hex head screws, allowing easier installation and removal with a hex key socket, reducing the chance of accidentally rounding off the drive geometry. The machine thread type ensures these screws engage perfectly with FTX Outback threaded holes, preventing the frustration of cross-threading or stripping that can occur with poorly manufactured fasteners. The black finish not only delivers a professional appearance consistent with modern RC crawler aesthetics but also provides corrosion resistance against the dirt, mud, and moisture encountered during outdoor RC driving. Whether you're rebuilding your FTX Outback suspension after a hard bash, replacing worn fasteners during routine maintenance, or customising your setup with aftermarket components, these genuine FTX spares deliver the reliability and precision fit that distinguish authorised parts from generic alternatives.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What is an M2*20 screw and where does it fit on my FTX Outback RC crawler? — The M2*20 designation refers to a metric screw with a 2mm diameter and 20mm total length. These button head screws are designed for various applications on the FTX Outback rock crawler, including suspension components, chassis brackets, drivetrain linkages, and electronic component mounting points. Check your FTX Outback manual for specific locations where M2*20 screws are used on your model variant.
- Why should I choose genuine FTX spare parts over generic alternatives? — Genuine FTX spares are engineered to exact specifications matching your vehicle's design, ensuring perfect fitment, consistent thread engagement, and reliable performance. Generic fasteners often have slightly different dimensions, inferior materials, or poor finish quality that can lead to cross-threading, stripping, or unexpected failure during use. When you choose authentic FTX parts from RC Model Shop, you're investing in quality and reliability.
- How do I install these button head screws correctly? — Button head screws should be installed using an appropriately sized hex key, applying steady pressure whilst turning to avoid stripping the hex socket. Insert the screw fully into the threaded hole but do not over-tighten, as this can strip threads or crack surrounding plastic components on your FTX Outback. Hand-tighten first, then use minimal additional torque with your hex key.
- How many M2*20 screws should I keep in my spares box? — Having multiple spare sets ensures you can complete repairs without delays. A typical RC enthusiast keeps three to five spare packs of commonly used fastener sizes for their primary vehicle. This four-pack provides excellent value, especially when purchased alongside other FTX Outback spares.
- Are these screws compatible with other FTX models besides the Outback? — Whilst these screws are specifically listed as FTX Outback spare parts, many FTX models share common fastener sizes. However, always verify compatibility with your specific FTX model manual before using these screws on vehicles other than FTX Outback variants to ensure proper fitment and performance.
