Key Features

• 2.5mm Diameter Specification — These screws feature a 2.5mm diameter, which is the correct size for specific mounting applications on the FTX Outback Fury chassis and components, ensuring perfect fit and secure fastening without the risk of stripping or misalignment.
• 8mm Length — The 8mm length is purpose-designed for particular assembly points on the Outback Fury platform, providing the ideal depth for mounting without protruding through panels or causing component interference.
• Column Hex Head Design — The column hex head provides an excellent grip surface for hex drivers and sockets, making installation and removal straightforward with the right tools, and reducing the risk of cam-out or damage to the screw head during use.
• Self-Tapping Thread Profile — These screws feature self-tapping threads, which means they cut their own thread as they are driven into place, eliminating the need for pre-drilled threaded holes and making installation faster and more efficient for RC hobbyists.
• Black Finish — The black colour finish provides a professional appearance while offering some protection against corrosion and wear, helping the screws maintain their appearance and functionality over extended use.
• Pack of Eight — Each pack contains eight individual screws, providing sufficient quantity for repairs, replacements or maintenance tasks on your FTX Outback Fury without the need to purchase multiple packs for a single project.
• Genuine FTX Manufacturer Part — As an official FTX spare part, these screws are manufactured to exact specifications and quality standards, ensuring compatibility and performance that aftermarket alternatives simply cannot guarantee.

Technical Performance

The FTX Outback Fury Column Hex Head Self Tapping 2.5x8mm Screw represents precision engineering at its finest, combining materials science and manufacturing excellence to deliver a fastener that will reliably secure components on your RC car. The M2.5 diameter specification is carefully engineered to work with the specific mounting points found throughout the FTX Outback Fury platform, whether you're assembling chassis components, securing body panels, or replacing worn fasteners from regular use and maintenance. The self-tapping thread design means these screws can be driven directly into plastic or composite materials without requiring a pilot hole, significantly speeding up assembly and repair work. The 8mm length has been precisely calculated to provide adequate holding depth without penetrating through to the opposite side of components, which could damage internal electronics or suspension geometry. The hex head design offers superior grip and control compared to traditional Phillips or slot heads, reducing the risk of tool slip and fastener damage. These screws are constructed from quality materials that resist corrosion and wear, ensuring long-term reliability even when exposed to the outdoor conditions typical of UK RC car use, whether you're racing at the track or bashing through countryside terrain. The black finish not only provides aesthetic consistency with other FTX Outback Fury components but also offers basic corrosion resistance. For anyone serious about maintaining their RC car and ensuring every component is fitted with genuine manufacturer parts, these screws represent the gold standard in reliability and fit.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Are these screws compatible with other FTX RC car models? — These screws are specifically engineered for the FTX Outback Fury platform. Whilst they may physically fit other models, FTX recommends using the correct spare parts for your specific vehicle to ensure proper fit, security and function. Always verify compatibility with your particular model's specification sheet.
• What tools do I need to install these screws? — The column hex head design requires a hex socket or hex key (Allen key) of the appropriate size. Most RC hobbyists find that a precision hex tool set designed for RC vehicles works perfectly with these fasteners, and such tool sets are readily available from UK RC retailers.
• How many packs should I keep in my spares box? — Having at least one pack of these screws in your spares box is sensible maintenance planning. Many experienced RC enthusiasts keep multiple packs of common fasteners to ensure they're never caught short during repairs or maintenance sessions, particularly if they regularly bash or race their vehicles.
• Can I use these screws as replacements for other fastener types on my Outback Fury? — No, you should always use the correct FTX spare part for each specific fastening point. Using incorrect screws could result in poor fit, component damage, or inadequate security. FTX designs each screw specification for particular applications, so always check your vehicle's manual or contact the retailer if you're unsure.
• Will these screws rust if I use my RC car in wet conditions? — Whilst the black finish provides some protection, extended exposure to moisture can eventually lead to corrosion of fasteners. If you regularly use your RC car in wet conditions, you may want to periodically inspect and replace any fasteners showing signs of corrosion, and consider cleaning and drying your vehicle after wet weather use.
• Where can I find the right mounting points for these specific screws on my vehicle? — Your FTX Outback Fury instruction manual will clearly indicate which components use M2.5 x 8mm screws. If you no longer have the manual, FTX provides detailed parts diagrams and documentation on their website, which can be accessed by UK customers through authorised retailers like RC Model Shop.
