Key Features
- M2.6 Size — These fasteners are precisely manufactured to M2.6 specifications, making them perfectly compatible with FTX Comet models and ensuring secure, vibration-resistant fastening throughout your vehicle's chassis and assembly points.
- 10mm Length — The 10mm length is specifically engineered for FTX Comet applications, providing optimal engagement depth without over-tightening or material stress, critical for maintaining structural integrity during high-speed runs and extreme off-road conditions.
- Phillips Button Head Design — The distinctive button head profile provides an attractive, recessed appearance whilst the Phillips drive pattern allows for precise torque application using standard workshop tools, making adjustments and replacements straightforward for RC enthusiasts of all skill levels.
- Genuine OEM Part — These are authentic FTX factory components, not third-party alternatives, guaranteeing perfect fitment, consistent quality, and reliability that matches the original equipment specifications your FTX Comet was engineered around.
- Essential Spare — RC vehicles experience considerable vibration and stress during operation, which can loosen or damage fasteners over time. Having spare Phillips button head screws ensures you can quickly replace damaged or lost fasteners without halting your RC adventures.
- Pack Quantity — These screws are sold as a practical pack size, giving you multiple fasteners for various repair scenarios, whether you're replacing a single damaged screw or performing comprehensive maintenance on multiple chassis points simultaneously.
Technical Performance
FTX Comet Phillips button head screws represent precision engineering at the component level. The M2.6 diameter provides an optimal balance between thread engagement and material stress distribution, whilst the 10mm length is calculated to provide secure fastening in FTX Comet chassis mounting points without protruding excessively or creating binding issues. The Phillips head design is manufactured to exacting tolerances, ensuring a positive engagement with standard Phillips drivers that minimises the risk of head stripping or cam-out during installation or removal. These fasteners are typically manufactured from hardened steel or equivalent materials that provide excellent corrosion resistance and fatigue strength, critical properties when your RC car UK is subjected to muddy terrain, wet grass, or damp conditions. The button head profile offers superior aesthetics compared to flat-head screws, and the slightly domed top prevents accidental catching on suspension arms or body panels whilst maintaining clean sight lines on your vehicle. Whether you're running your FTX Comet at high speed across open ground, navigating rocky crawls through challenging terrain, or performing sharp turns at the track, these fasteners maintain their grip and keep your vehicle assembled securely throughout extended running sessions.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Are these screws compatible with other FTX models besides the Comet? — Whilst these screws are specifically dimensioned for FTX Comet applications, they may be compatible with other FTX vehicles that use M2.6 fasteners. We recommend checking your vehicle's manual or contacting our team to confirm compatibility with your specific model before ordering.
- How many screws come in each pack? — The exact quantity per pack is not specified in the source information, but they are sold as a practical pack size suitable for replacement and maintenance work on your FTX Comet.
- What tools do I need to install these screws? — You will need a Phillips screwdriver that matches the Phillips head profile. A precision screwdriver set designed for RC work is recommended to prevent head stripping and ensure accurate torque application without over-tightening.
- How often should I check my RC car's fasteners? — Regular inspection is essential, particularly after high-speed runs, rough terrain driving, or wet conditions. A quick pre-run check of visible fasteners helps catch any loosening early, and having spare screws on hand means you can address issues immediately rather than halting your session.
- Can I use alternative Phillips screws instead of genuine FTX parts? — Whilst generic fasteners might appear to fit, genuine FTX screws are engineered to precise tolerances and metallurgical specifications that match your Comet's design requirements. Using genuine parts ensures optimal fit, consistent performance, and maintains your vehicle's structural integrity.
- Are these screws waterproof? — Fasteners themselves are not inherently waterproof, but their proper installation into dry components helps prevent water ingress into critical areas. After wet running, inspect your vehicle and allow components to dry thoroughly before storage.
