Key Features

• Machine Thread Design — These screws feature machine thread construction, which provides a consistent, reliable grip when fastened into threaded holes, ensuring components stay securely attached during intense off-road driving and bashing sessions.
• Rounded Button Head — The rounded button head profile offers a sleek appearance whilst providing excellent surface contact area, reducing the risk of stripping or deformation compared to flat-head alternatives.
• Hex Driver Type — The hex socket head accepts standard hex (Allen key) drivers, making installation and removal straightforward with common tools found in most RC enthusiast toolboxes.
• M2.6 Thread Size — This metric thread size is specifically engineered for FTX models, ensuring perfect compatibility and fitment without forcing or cross-threading.
• 11mm Overall Length — The 11mm length is precisely calculated to work with FTX chassis and body components, providing optimal fastening depth without protruding excessively.
• Black Finish — The black coating provides corrosion resistance and durability, protecting against rust and degradation during outdoor RC adventures and wet weather conditions.
• Pack of Eight — This generous pack of eight screws gives you multiple spares, meaning you'll always have replacements when screws are lost during maintenance, crashes, or general wear and tear.

Technical Performance

The FTX Outback Rounded Head Screw M2.6*11 represents precision engineering at its finest. Manufactured using quality steel and finished with a protective black coating, these fasteners are built to withstand the demands of regular RC car maintenance and use. The machine thread design ensures that when fastened into the pre-tapped holes found on FTX chassis components, body posts, and internal framework, the screw creates a secure, permanent connection that won't loosen under the vibration and shock loads experienced during off-road driving. The rounded button head profile is not merely cosmetic; it distributes clamping force more evenly across component surfaces, reducing the likelihood of damage to softer materials like plastic or aluminium. The hex socket head accepts 1.5mm or 2.0mm hex drivers depending on the specific socket depth, and the M2.6 metric thread pitch is optimised for the engineering standards used throughout the FTX product range. These screws are compatible with numerous FTX models including the Outback series, Mini Outback variants, and many other FTX RC vehicles. Whether you're rebuilding a chassis after a heavy crash, replacing worn fasteners, or customising your RC setup with aftermarket components, these screws deliver the reliability expected from a recognised FTX spare part.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Which FTX RC models are compatible with M2.6*11 screws? — These screws are compatible with numerous FTX models across the Outback range and many other FTX RC vehicles. The M2.6*11 specification is widely used throughout FTX's product line for body posts, chassis fastening, and component assembly. If you're unsure whether these screws fit your specific model, we recommend checking your vehicle's spare parts diagram or contacting our expert team at RC Model Shop for confirmation.
• Why do I need spare FTX screws for my RC car? — During regular RC use, screws can become lost during crashes, stripped when over-tightened, or corroded through exposure to dirt and moisture. Having a pack of eight genuine replacement screws ensures you can quickly repair your model and get back to driving rather than waiting for parts to arrive. This is especially important for weekend bashers and competitive RC racers who depend on their vehicles being ready to use at short notice.
• Can I use these screws with other RC brands? — Whilst the M2.6*11 metric specification might technically fit other brands, we recommend using genuine FTX screws in FTX models to ensure perfect compatibility and avoid potential fitment issues. Using non-standard fasteners in RC vehicles could result in poor clamping force, component damage, or loosening during use.
• What tools do I need to install these screws? — The hex socket head requires a hex driver (Allen key) in either 1.5mm or 2.0mm size depending on the socket depth. You'll need a quality hex key set that grips securely without slipping, as stripped screws due to poor driver fit are a common problem in RC maintenance. We recommend investing in precision hobby-grade tools designed for RC work.
• Are these screws suitable for beginners? — Yes, absolutely. Beginners working on their first RC car maintenance projects will appreciate the straightforward design and universal application of these screws. The generous pack of eight provides spares whilst you're learning proper fastening techniques, and the standard hex socket head works with basic tools most RC hobbyists already own.
