Key Features
- Metric Hex Socket Design — These screws feature a recessed hex socket in the head, allowing you to use a standard hex key (Allen key) for installation and removal, providing secure fastening without the risk of stripping the screw head like you might experience with conventional slot-head or Phillips-head fasteners.
- Button Head Profile — The distinctive rounded button head style sits flush and neat on assembled components, delivering a professional appearance whilst minimising the risk of snagging on obstacles or catching on surrounding parts during operation or transport.
- Precise 2x6mm Dimensions — These screws measure exactly 2mm in diameter with a 6mm length, engineered to match the factory specifications of the FTX Outback Mini 3.0 and ensure perfect fitment in all designated locations throughout your RC model.
- Set of 8 Fasteners — Each pack includes 8 individual screws, providing multiple replacements and allowing you to complete comprehensive maintenance, repairs, or upgrades without needing to purchase additional packs for most typical RC car repair scenarios.
- Factory Genuine Component — These are authentic FTX replacement parts manufactured to the same exacting standards as the original equipment fitted to your Outback Mini 3.0, guaranteeing compatibility and reliability.
- Compact Storage — The 8-piece pack is conveniently sized for storage in your RC tool kit or spare parts box, ensuring you always have the correct replacement fasteners within easy reach when you need them.
Technical Performance
The FTX Outback Mini 3.0 Button Head Metric Hex Screw 2x6 represents precision engineering at its finest for the 1:24 scale RC crawler market. These fasteners are manufactured to exacting tolerances, ensuring they fit perfectly in the purpose-designed holes throughout your FTX Mini Outback 3.0 chassis, gearbox housings, and suspension components. The metric sizing (2x6mm) is standard across the FTX range, and these screws are particularly suited to securing lighter assemblies and internal components where the longer 2x8mm variants would be excessive. The button head design minimises profile and drag, important considerations for a compact 1:24 scale model where every millimetre counts. The hex socket provides superior grip compared to traditional fastener designs, reducing the likelihood of slippage during assembly or disassembly. Whether you're performing routine maintenance on your ready to run RC car or undertaking more extensive restoration work, these screws deliver the reliability and performance that FTX is recognised for throughout the UK RC community. The hardened steel construction resists corrosion and maintains its integrity through repeated tightening and loosening cycles, essential for a fastener that will see regular use throughout the life of your model.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What is the 2x6 specification on these FTX screws? — The 2x6 designation refers to the metric measurements of the fastener: 2mm is the diameter of the screw shaft, and 6mm is the overall length. This sizing makes these screws perfect for securing lighter components and assemblies within your FTX Outback Mini 3.0, where more substantial fasteners like the 2x8mm variant would be inappropriate.
- Will these screws fit my FTX Outback Mini 3.0? — Yes, these are genuine FTX replacement parts specifically engineered for the Outback Mini 3.0 1:24 scale RC crawler. They are designed to fit in all factory-designated locations where 2x6mm button head metric hex screws are called for in the original design and assembly specifications.
- How many screws do I need for a complete repair? — This pack contains 8 screws, which is sufficient for most single-component repairs or replacements on the FTX Mini Outback 3.0. However, if you're performing comprehensive maintenance or rebuilding multiple assemblies, you may want to stock multiple packs to ensure you have enough fasteners for all required locations.
- What tools do I need to install these screws? — You'll need a hex key (Allen key) that fits the recessed socket in the button head. These are standard tools available in most RC tool kits and hobby shops across the UK, and the metric sizing ensures compatibility with standard hex key sets.
- Are these screws waterproof or corrosion-resistant? — These fasteners are manufactured from hardened steel and feature excellent resistance to corrosion, making them suitable for use in various weather conditions and outdoor environments typical of RC car operation in the UK climate.
- Can I use these screws to upgrade or modify my Outback Mini 3.0? — Absolutely. Many RC enthusiasts use these replacement fasteners when building custom components or performing hop-up modifications to their FTX models. The button head design is particularly popular for custom work because of its clean appearance and secure hex socket.
