Overview
The FTX Comet Phillips Button Head Screws 2.6x18mm are essential replacement fasteners for RC enthusiasts maintaining their FTX Comet model or other compatible RC vehicles. Whether you are a seasoned RC car UK competitor or a weekend basher enjoying off-road adventures, having quality spare screws on hand is crucial for keeping your RC model in peak condition. These precision-engineered fasteners are designed to meet the exact specifications required by FTX Comet builds and compatible RC platforms, ensuring reliable assembly and secure component attachment across your model.
As an authorised FTX retailer, RC Model Shop stocks genuine OEM spare parts that deliver the quality and reliability you expect from the FTX brand. These Phillips button head screws are manufactured to tight tolerances, providing consistent fit and performance whether you are performing routine maintenance, repairing damaged components, or building up a new RC car from scratch. The M2.6 diameter with 18mm length makes these screws ideal for a wide range of assembly applications on compact and mid-sized RC vehicles, rock crawlers, and specialist builds where precision fastening is essential.
Maintaining an inventory of quality replacement screws is a smart move for any dedicated RC hobbyist. Fasteners can be lost during intense driving sessions, stripped when over-tightened, or bent beyond reuse during impacts and crashes. By keeping genuine FTX Phillips button head screws in your spares box, you ensure that you are never caught short when you need to reassemble your RC model for the next run or event.
Key Features
- Phillips Drive Type — The Phillips head design provides excellent grip and torque transfer when using a Phillips screwdriver, reducing the risk of stripping the screw head during installation and removal, which is essential for delicate RC assembly work.
- Button Head Design — The button head profile offers a low-profile appearance while providing robust clamping force, making these screws ideal for applications where aesthetics matter and component clearance is limited on your RC model.
- M2.6 Diameter — This metric size is purpose-engineered for FTX Comet platforms and compatible RC vehicles, ensuring compatibility with factory-designed mounting points and threaded holes throughout your model.
- 18mm Length — The 18mm shaft length is precisely calculated to secure components without over-extension or fouling against surrounding parts, critical for maintaining structural integrity in compact RC assemblies.
- Genuine FTX OEM Part — As official FTX fasteners, these screws meet the exact material, finish, and dimensional specifications required by your model, guaranteeing fit and reliability that aftermarket alternatives cannot match.
- Pack Quantity Available — Whether you need a single screw for emergency repair or want to stock up with multiple units, these fasteners are available to suit your immediate needs and future spares requirements.
Technical Performance
These FTX Comet Phillips button head screws represent precision engineering applied to fastening solutions for RC vehicles. Manufactured to M2.6 metric specifications with an 18mm length, these screws deliver the secure, vibration-resistant assembly that modern RC models demand. The button head design minimises protrusion whilst maximising holding force, critical for maintaining component alignment on FTX Comet builds where tolerances are tight and precision matters. The Phillips drive type allows controlled torque application using standard Phillips screwdrivers, reducing the likelihood of cam-out or head stripping that can occur with cheap, poorly-finished fasteners. Whether you are assembling a fresh FTX Comet chassis, replacing stripped fasteners, or maintaining your existing model after intense off-road driving, these OEM screws provide the reliability and consistency that genuine parts deliver. Built to withstand the vibrations, impacts, and environmental stress inherent in RC operation, these fasteners are engineered for durability and long service life, ensuring your model stays together when it counts.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Are these screws compatible with my FTX RC model? — These Phillips button head screws are specifically designed for FTX Comet compatibility and are suitable for other FTX models requiring M2.6x18mm fasteners. Before ordering, verify your model's assembly manual or parts diagram to confirm these are the correct size for your application. Contact our RC Model Shop team if you need help identifying the right fasteners for your specific build.
- What is the difference between Phillips and Pozidriv screws? — Phillips and Pozidriv (Pozi) are different drive types. Phillips screwdrivers feature a simple cross shape, whilst Pozidriv has additional lines between the cross points for better grip. These are Phillips screws, so use a Phillips screwdriver for installation. Using the wrong driver type can strip the head.
- Why should I buy genuine FTX spare parts? — Genuine OEM parts like these FTX fasteners are engineered to exact specifications, ensuring perfect fit, material quality, and long-term reliability. Counterfeit or cheap aftermarket screws may have poor finish, inconsistent sizing, or weak material that strips easily. Investing in genuine spares protects your RC investment and ensures trouble-free assembly.
- How many screws do I get in a pack? — The exact quantity depends on the pack size you select when ordering. These screws are available individually or in quantities to suit your needs, whether you require a single replacement or want to build up a comprehensive spares box for regular RC maintenance and repair work.
- Can I use these on other RC brands besides FTX? — If your RC model, whether from Traxxas, ARRMA, Losi, or another brand, requires M2.6x18mm Phillips button head fasteners, these screws should work. However, always verify the size and specifications in your model's manual before ordering. Our team at RC Model Shop can help confirm compatibility if you are unsure.
