Key Features

• 5mm Length — The 5mm length is specifically engineered for applications requiring shorter fasteners, perfect for thin mounting plates, electronics boards, and components where longer screws would protrude or cause interference.
• Button Head Design — The distinctive button head profile provides a low-profile fastening solution that minimises snagging and weight whilst maintaining secure holding power across multiple assembly and disassembly cycles.
• Pack of Eight — Eight screws provide multiple spares and backups, allowing you to complete multiple repairs or upgrades without needing to reorder immediately, keeping your RC vehicle on the track or trail longer.
• Genuine FTX Parts — These are authentic FTX spare components manufactured to the same quality standards as the original screws in your RC vehicle, guaranteeing correct fit and performance.

Technical Performance

FTX button head screws are manufactured from hardened steel to withstand the vibration, torque, and stress cycles inherent in off-road RC driving. The M2.5*5 specification is engineered for precision fastening on components that require reliable but lightweight connections. Unlike larger fasteners, these smaller screws are favoured in RC design because they maintain structural integrity whilst contributing minimal weight to your vehicle, which is critical for optimising acceleration, handling, and battery runtime. The button head style is particularly valued in RC applications because it avoids the sharp edges of traditional flat-head or Phillips-head designs, reducing the risk of component damage during installation and removal. These screws are used throughout FTX Outback models for securing suspension components, electronics mounting plates, bodywork brackets, and internal frame components. The precision threading ensures that you achieve consistent torque values across multiple installation and removal cycles, which is essential for maintaining component alignment and vehicle stability during high-speed runs and challenging terrain. The metric M2.5 sizing integrates seamlessly with FTX's comprehensive modular platform, allowing these screws to serve multiple purposes across your RC vehicle and compatible FTX models.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Are these genuine FTX spare parts compatible with all Outback models? — Yes, these M2.5*5 button head screws are manufactured as genuine FTX spare components and will fit FTX Outback models and other FTX vehicles that utilise M2.5 fastening points. However, always check your specific model's parts diagram to confirm the correct screw size for your particular application, as different components may require different lengths and thread sizes.
• Why should I choose button head screws over Phillips or flat-head designs? — Button head screws feature a rounded, low-profile design that minimises weight and prevents snagging on internal components or bodywork during assembly and disassembly. This design is particularly valuable in RC applications where repeated fastener removal is necessary for maintenance and upgrades. The smoother profile also reduces the risk of stripping the screw head compared to Phillips designs, which are more prone to cam-out and damage.
• How many repairs can I do with eight screws? — Eight screws provide flexibility for multiple repairs, maintenance cycles, or component upgrades on your RC vehicle. You might use several screws in a single repair if replacing fasteners on suspension mounts or electronics plates, or you might spread them across multiple maintenance sessions. Most RC enthusiasts recommend keeping several packs on hand for regular use and emergency repairs.
• What is the difference between this M2.5*5 screw and other FTX button head screws? — FTX offers button head screws in multiple sizes to suit different applications across their vehicle range. The M2.5*5 specification is specifically sized for applications requiring a 2.5mm diameter thread with a 5mm overall length. Longer variants like the M2.5*7 are available for applications requiring greater depth, whilst smaller sizes like M2 screws suit more delicate mounting points. Always verify your specific component's requirement before ordering.
• Can I use these screws on RC vehicles other than FTX models? — Whilst these are FTX-branded screws, the M2.5*5 metric specification is a standard sizing used across many RC manufacturers. If your other RC vehicles use M2.5 fasteners, these screws should fit, though we always recommend verifying compatibility with your specific vehicle's documentation or consulting with RC Model Shop staff to ensure correct fitment.
• How do I know if my RC vehicle needs new screws? — Inspect your fasteners regularly for signs of wear, corrosion, or stripped threading. If screws are not holding components securely, won't tighten fully, or appear damaged, replacement is necessary. After several maintenance cycles or following high-impact crashes, fasteners may need replacement to restore secure component mounting and vehicle stability.
