Key Features
- Phillips Head Design — The Phillips drive type provides secure grip and positive engagement with standard Phillips screwdrivers, preventing the frustrating cam-out issues that can occur with lower-quality fasteners and making assembly and disassembly straightforward for RC enthusiasts of all skill levels.
- Button Head Profile — The rounded button head style offers a professional appearance and sits flush with component surfaces, reducing the risk of snagging on wires, suspension components, or other vehicle parts during operation or transport, which is crucial in the demanding environment of RC off-road racing.
- Precision 2.6mm Diameter — The M2.6 thread diameter is specifically engineered to match the threaded holes on FTX Comet components, ensuring perfect fitment without the slack of oversized screws or the stripping risk of undersized alternatives, critical for maintaining the structural integrity of your RC model.
- 22mm Length — The extended 22mm length accommodates the specific assembly requirements of various FTX Comet components, from mounting arms to suspension linkages, providing the right engagement depth for secure, vibration-resistant fastening that won't work loose during high-speed runs.
- Genuine FTX Specification — These are official FTX spares manufactured to original equipment standards, guaranteeing compatibility with all models in the FTX Comet range including the Monster and Truggy variants, with no fitment surprises or compatibility concerns.
- Quality Material Construction — FTX fasteners are manufactured from durable steel with appropriate surface treatment to resist corrosion and wear, essential for RC vehicles that may encounter damp conditions, muddy terrain, or prolonged storage between sessions.
Technical Performance
The FTX Comet Phillips Button Head Screws 2.6*22 represent the kind of engineering excellence that distinguishes premium RC spares from bargain-basement alternatives. These fasteners are precision-manufactured to exacting tolerances, ensuring that each screw engages perfectly with the threaded holes throughout your FTX Comet platform. The 2.6mm diameter and 22mm length combination has been carefully selected by FTX engineers to provide optimal load distribution across critical assembly points, whether you're securing suspension arms, mounting electronic components, or assembling chassis sections. The Phillips head drive provides superior control compared to inferior slot-head designs, reducing the risk of tool slip and fastener damage during assembly or maintenance work. The button head profile creates a compact, professional appearance while minimising potential snagging points that could catch on wires, hoses, or suspension components during aggressive off-road driving. Material quality is paramount; these screws are manufactured from appropriate steel alloys with surface treatments designed to resist corrosion from moisture, mud, and the corrosive agents found in typical RC driving environments. Whether you're maintaining your model in the UK's variable climate or preparing for competitive RC car UK racing events, these fasteners deliver the reliability and performance that serious RC enthusiasts demand.

The button head profile sits flush with component surfaces, creating a professional appearance whilst reducing snagging points that could catch on wires or suspension components during aggressive driving.
- Can I use these screws for other RC models or projects? — These screws are specifically engineered for the FTX Comet platform.
