Key Features
- M3 Button Head Design — The distinctive domed button head provides both a clean aesthetic appearance and improved hand feel when installing or removing screws with a hex key, making assembly and maintenance straightforward even in field conditions.
- 16mm Length — This specific length has been engineered to work perfectly with the Outback Fury's chassis, suspension and body mounts, ensuring proper fastening depth without over-extension or under-tightening issues.
- Hex Socket Driver — The precision-machined hex socket accepts standard 2.0mm hex keys, providing a secure grip that prevents cam-out and rounded corners, which is essential for reliable fastening in RC applications where vibration and shock loads are constant.
- Machine Thread Construction — Unlike self-tapping screws, the machine thread design requires pre-threaded holes but offers superior holding strength and allows multiple installation and removal cycles without degradation, perfect for frequently serviced RC components.
- Black Finish — The professional black coating not only enhances the visual appeal of your RC build but also provides corrosion resistance, protecting the fasteners during outdoor use and in varied weather conditions typical across the UK.
- Eight-Piece Pack — Receiving eight screws per pack means you have spare fasteners for replacements when originals become damaged, lost or worn, plus additional hardware for upgrades and modifications to your Outback Fury setup.
- FTX OEM Quality — These are genuine original equipment manufacturer parts, engineered and tested by FTX to meet precise specifications and compatibility standards for guaranteed fitment and performance on your Outback Fury RC car.
Technical Performance
The FTX OUTBACK FURY BUTTON HEAD 3 X 16MM HEX SCREW represents precision fastening engineering specifically calibrated for the demands of 1/10 scale RC off-road vehicles. The M3 diameter with 16mm length has been carefully selected to work with the Outback Fury's chassis geometry, suspension mounting points and body attachment locations. The button head design offers a lower profile than traditional socket head cap screws whilst maintaining excellent visibility and accessibility during assembly and maintenance. The machine thread specification indicates these screws are designed for use with pre-threaded inserts or threaded holes, ensuring consistent clamping force and preventing thread stripping that can occur with cheaper self-tapping alternatives. The hex socket driver provides a 2.0mm engagement point that minimises the risk of tool slip and fastener damage during installation, which is particularly important when working on intricate RC assemblies where access can be tight. With eight screws per pack, you're covered for typical maintenance intervals, repair work and component upgrades. The black finish provides both aesthetic consistency with modern RC vehicle designs and a layer of corrosion protection, important for vehicles used outdoors throughout the year in the UK climate. These fasteners are manufactured to the same quality standards as the Outback Fury itself, ensuring they integrate seamlessly with your existing components and deliver the reliability you expect from FTX products.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Are these screws compatible with the FTX Outback Fury RC car? — Yes, these button head hex screws are specifically engineered as OEM spare parts for the FTX Outback Fury, ensuring perfect compatibility with all mounting points, chassis holes and suspension attachment locations on this popular 1/10 scale RC vehicle.
- What size hex key do I need to install these screws? — These M3 button head screws feature a 2.0mm hex socket, so you'll need a standard 2.0mm hex key or Allen wrench to install them. Most RC enthusiasts already have this size in their tool collection as it's widely used across 1/10 scale RC components.
- How many screws do I get in each pack? — Each pack contains eight individual button head hex screws, providing multiple spares for replacement of worn or lost fasteners, plus extras for upgrades and modifications to your Outback Fury setup.
- What is the difference between button head and socket head cap screws? — Button head screws feature a lower-profile domed head compared to the taller domed design of socket head cap screws, offering a cleaner appearance and slightly better ground clearance on RC vehicles, whilst still providing secure hex socket fastening.
- Are these machine thread or self-tapping screws? — These are machine thread screws, meaning they require pre-threaded holes or threaded inserts rather than drilling directly into plastic or metal. Machine thread screws provide superior holding strength and allow repeated installation/removal cycles without thread damage, making them ideal for frequently serviced RC components.
- Can I use these on other FTX models besides the Outback Fury? — Whilst these screws are optimised for the Outback Fury, the M3x16mm specification is common across many 1/10 scale RC vehicles. However, for guaranteed fitment and compatibility, it's best to verify with your specific model's parts list or consult the manufacturer.
- How do I prevent these screws from coming loose during use? — Always ensure screws are tightened firmly but not over-tightened, as this can strip threads. Many RC enthusiasts apply a small amount of threadlocker compound (such as blue threadlocker) to fasteners that experience vibration, though this is optional for these quality FTX screws.
- What are these screws made from? — These are precision-manufactured steel fasteners with a black finish for corrosion resistance. The construction meets FTX's quality standards for use in demanding RC off-road applications across variable UK weather conditions.
