Technical Performance
The FTX Ravine Step Screw 4 x 6.5-5 x 6.3 represents precision fastening engineering designed for the demanding requirements of 1:10 scale rock crawling. The step screw configuration provides enhanced clamping force and load distribution compared to standard fasteners, which is essential when dealing with the rigorous impacts, vibrations, and stress concentrations experienced during rock crawler operation. The dimensions (4 x 6.5-5 x 6.3) indicate a dual-diameter design that allows secure fastening of components while accommodating the specific geometry of the FTX Ravine chassis and assembly points. This type of fastener is particularly important in rock crawlers where component flexibility and controlled movement are necessary for articulation and suspension performance, yet fasteners must remain tight throughout extended driving sessions. FTX's manufacturing standards ensure consistent quality across all spare parts, maintaining the factory-built integrity of your ready to run RC crawler throughout its operational life.
