Overview
The FTX Outback Button Head Screw M2*10 (8) FTX8227 is an essential replacement spare part for owners of FTX Outback RC crawlers and scale models. These precision-engineered button head screws are critical fastening components designed to maintain the integrity and performance of your RC car UK setup. Whether you're a serious competitor, a weekend basher, or someone enjoying casual off-road RC adventures, having quality replacement screws on hand ensures you can keep your vehicle in peak condition without costly downtime.
Button head screws are a popular choice in RC vehicles because they offer a lower profile compared to standard hex head fasteners, which means they sit flush with components and reduce the risk of snagging on terrain or catching on obstacles during aggressive driving. The M2*10 specification indicates a 2mm diameter shaft with a 10mm length, making these screws ideal for a variety of assembly points on the FTX Outback platform. This pack contains eight individual screws, providing you with multiple spares so you can tackle repairs confidently and keep your RC crawler performing at its best.
FTX is a respected manufacturer of quality RC vehicles and components, and their genuine spare parts are engineered to exacting standards to ensure perfect compatibility with your model. By choosing official FTX replacement parts from RC Model Shop, you're investing in reliability and longevity for your RC hobby investment.
Key Features
- M2*10 Specification — These button head screws measure 2mm in diameter with a 10mm length, making them compatible with multiple mounting points on FTX Outback models and related scale crawlers. The precise sizing ensures a perfect fit and secure fastening without over-tightening damage.
- Button Head Design — The button head profile sits lower and more flush than traditional hex head screws, which is critical for RC vehicles that encounter rough terrain and obstacles. This design reduces the risk of screw snagging or breakage during aggressive off-road driving.
- Set of Eight Screws — This pack provides eight individual screws, giving you multiple replacement options so you're never caught short during repairs or maintenance sessions. Having spares on hand is essential for serious RC enthusiasts.
- Genuine FTX Component — As official FTX spare parts, these screws are engineered to exact specifications and material standards, ensuring perfect compatibility and long-term reliability with your FTX Outback RC crawler.
- Essential Replacement Part — Button head screws are common wear items in RC vehicles due to the stress placed on fasteners during off-road driving. Having genuine replacements ensures your vehicle maintains structural integrity and performance.
Technical Performance
These button head screws are precision-manufactured fasteners designed specifically for the demands of RC vehicle ownership. The M2*10 sizing provides adequate holding power for their application points whilst remaining small and lightweight enough to avoid adding unnecessary mass to your scale model. The button head design is particularly important for RC crawlers and scale vehicles, where low-profile fasteners help maintain the accurate proportions and realistic appearance of the model. The screws are constructed from materials that resist corrosion and wear, ensuring they maintain their integrity even when exposed to moisture, dirt, and the punishment of off-road use. Whether you're repairing damaged fasteners, replacing worn screws, or building a repair kit for your FTX Outback, these genuine replacement parts deliver the quality and reliability you expect from official manufacturer components. The pack of eight screws ensures you have adequate spares for multiple repairs or maintenance cycles.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What is the difference between button head screws and standard hex head screws for RC cars? — Button head screws have a rounded, low-profile head that sits flush with components, whereas hex head screws have a protruding hexagonal head. For RC vehicles like crawlers and scale models, button head screws are preferred because they're less likely to snag on terrain, catch on obstacles, or damage during off-road driving. The lower profile also maintains better scale accuracy on realistic models.
- Will these M2*10 screws fit my FTX Outback RC crawler? — Yes, these are genuine FTX spare parts designed for the Outback platform. The M2*10 specification indicates they're suitable for multiple mounting points on FTX Outback models. However, if you're unsure about specific mounting locations, we recommend checking your vehicle's manual or contacting our team for guidance on proper placement.
- How many screws do I need for typical repairs? — This pack contains eight screws, which should cover most single repair jobs or allow you to maintain a useful spare parts collection. Since fasteners can be lost or damaged during use, having multiple spares is practical for ongoing RC vehicle maintenance.
- Are these screws compatible with other FTX models besides the Outback? — While these are designated as Outback parts, the M2*10 sizing is standard across many FTX models and RC vehicles. However, for guaranteed compatibility with other specific FTX models, we recommend consulting the parts diagram for your particular vehicle or speaking with our experienced team.
- How do I know if my screw is damaged and needs replacement? — Look for signs of stripping (the screw won't tighten or loosen smoothly), bending, corrosion, or broken heads. If a screw no longer holds properly or shows visible damage, replacement is recommended to maintain vehicle integrity and prevent further damage to mounting points.
- Should I use threadlock compound with these screws? — For RC vehicles, many builders use medium-strength threadlock (like Loctite 243) on fasteners that experience vibration to prevent loosening during use. However, this is optional and depends on your driving style and preferences. If you choose to use threadlock, allow it to cure fully before running your vehicle.
