Key Features
- Phillips Flat Head Design — The Phillips head pattern allows for secure engagement with standard Phillips head screwdrivers, providing excellent grip and minimising the risk of stripping the screw head during installation or removal, which is crucial when working on delicate RC components.
- 2.6mm Diameter — This precise diameter specification ensures these screws fit perfectly into the factory-designed mounting holes on your FTX Comet, eliminating the guesswork and ensuring a tight, secure connection that keeps your vehicle's components properly secured during operation.
- 10mm Length — The 10mm length is engineered to penetrate through the mounting surface and provide adequate thread engagement without protruding excessively or causing damage to internal components, making them versatile for multiple assembly points on your RC vehicle.
- Flat Head Profile — The flat head design sits flush with the mounting surface, creating a streamlined profile that doesn't obstruct movement or create snag points, which is particularly important in racing and high-speed RC applications where every millimetre counts.
- OEM Specification — Manufactured to original equipment manufacturer standards specifically for the FTX Comet platform, guaranteeing perfect compatibility and performance that matches the vehicle's design specifications.
- Durable Construction — Made from quality materials engineered to withstand the vibrations, impacts and stresses that RC vehicles experience during use, ensuring your screws remain tight and secure even during aggressive driving or off-road adventures.
