Key Features

• Genuine OEM FTX Screws — These are authentic factory parts manufactured to exact FTX specifications, ensuring perfect compatibility with every component of the Outback Ranger XC and providing the peace of mind that comes with using genuine replacement hardware rather than aftermarket alternatives.
• M2.5 Metric Thread Size — The M2.5 designation specifies the exact diameter and thread pitch, which is the standard fastening size used throughout the Outback Ranger XC chassis for securing various assemblies, body mounts and internal components with precision.
• 8mm Length Specification — The 8mm shaft length has been engineered specifically for the Outback Ranger XC design, ensuring that fasteners grip securely without bottoming out or protruding through mounting points, maintaining the proper assembly geometry throughout your vehicle.
• Round Head Design — The rounded head profile distributes clamping force evenly across mounting surfaces and prevents the fastener from sitting too deeply into plastic or composite materials, reducing the risk of cracking or damage to your RC car's components during installation or removal.
• Pack of Eight Screws — With eight screws included in each pack, you have enough fasteners for multiple repairs or to replenish your spare parts collection, making this a practical purchase for anyone maintaining an RC car UK collection or running multiple models simultaneously.
• Precision Manufacturing — FTX fasteners are manufactured to tight tolerances to ensure consistent quality, proper thread engagement, and reliable holding strength across the entire lifespan of your RC crawler, even during intense off-road use and competitive driving.

Technical Performance

These M2.5 X 8mm round head screws represent precision engineering at the component level. Manufactured from hardened steel or equivalent material, they provide reliable fastening performance for the Outback Ranger XC's aluminium and plastic assemblies. The round head design is specifically chosen for RC applications where distribution of clamping force is critical to preventing damage to softer materials commonly used in modern RC car construction. The M2.5 metric thread size is standard across the FTX Outback Ranger XC platform, used throughout the chassis for securing body posts, internal gearbox components, differential assemblies, suspension mounts, and electronic enclosures. The 8mm length has been engineered to provide optimal engagement depth without risk of over-tightening or fastener protrusion through mounting holes. These fasteners maintain their integrity through repeated assembly and disassembly cycles, a critical requirement for RC hobbyists who regularly service their vehicles. The hardened material resists thread stripping and maintains consistent torque values across multiple installation cycles, ensuring your Outback Ranger XC remains securely assembled during high-speed running and aggressive scale rock crawling across challenging UK terrain.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Why do I need replacement screws for my FTX Outback Ranger XC RC crawler? — Through regular use, maintenance and repairs, fasteners can become stripped, lost or damaged. Having genuine OEM replacement screws ensures you can restore your RC car to factory specifications and maintain proper assembly integrity, which is especially important if you're competing in scale events or want to maintain authenticity and performance standards.
• Are these screws compatible with other FTX models? — These screws are specifically manufactured for the FTX Outback Ranger XC. While the M2.5 X 8mm specification may be shared across other FTX models in some applications, we recommend checking the assembly manual or compatibility guide for your specific FTX RC car before purchasing, as different models may use slightly different fastening hardware in different locations.
• What is the difference between round head and other screw head styles? — Round head screws (also called pan head or dome head screws) feature a rounded top that distributes clamping force across a wider surface area compared to flat-head or countersunk designs. This makes them ideal for RC applications where you're fastening into plastic or softer materials, as they reduce the likelihood of the fastener punching through or cracking the mounting surface, which is crucial for maintaining the structural integrity of your Outback Ranger XC.
• How often should I replace these screws? — Under normal recreational use, quality fasteners like these OEM FTX screws should last for many assembly and disassembly cycles. However, if you notice threads becoming stripped, screws repeatedly loosening, or visible corrosion or damage, it's time to replace them. Regular inspection during maintenance intervals is recommended, particularly if you run your RC car UK in wet or muddy conditions.
• Are these fasteners suitable for beginners working on RC cars? — Yes, these screws are ideal for anyone maintaining or repairing an FTX Outback Ranger XC, from complete beginners to experienced competitors. Their standard metric size and common application across the vehicle makes them straightforward to use. We recommend using a properly fitting M2.5 hex key or Allen wrench to avoid stripping, and applying only moderate torque by hand rather than using powered tools.
