Key Features

• M4 Machine Thread Specification — The M4 metric thread size is a standard specification across FTX performance RC models, ensuring seamless compatibility with dozens of hop-up and spare parts from the FTX range including the popular DR8 desert racer series.
• 10mm Length — The 10mm length is precisely engineered for critical mounting applications throughout FTX RC vehicles, providing the perfect depth for secure fastening without protrusion that could affect performance or aesthetics.
• Flat Head Countersunk Design — The countersunk head sits flush with the mounting surface when fully tightened, eliminating any protrusion that could interfere with moving parts, disrupt aerodynamics, or create uncomfortable contact points during assembly.
• Hex Driver Socket — The hex socket design ensures positive engagement with standard hex keys or Allen wrenches, reducing the risk of stripping or cam-out when tightening or loosening, which is essential for maintaining precision in high-performance RC applications.
• Black Finish — The black coloured finish provides excellent corrosion resistance, helping protect against the moisture, dirt and salt exposure that comes with outdoor RC racing and bashing, whilst maintaining a professional appearance.
• Pack of Eight — Each pack contains eight individual screws, giving you multiple spares for ongoing maintenance, repairs, and upgrades across your entire FTX RC collection without needing to reorder frequently.
• Genuine FTX Component — As an authentic FTX spare part, you can be confident in the quality, fit and reliability, knowing it meets the same exacting standards as the vehicles and performance upgrades you trust in your RC hobby.

Technical Performance

The FTX Flat Head Hex Screw M4 x 10mm represents precision engineering at the fastener level. The M4 machine thread classification ensures consistent, reliable engagement with threaded inserts and holes across FTX's extensive lineup of RC models, from the high-performance DR8 1/8 scale desert racer to crawler variants and other off-road specialists. The countersunk head design is critical for applications where a flush surface is essential—whether securing body panels, mounting electronics enclosures, or fastening suspension components where any protrusion could affect handling, durability or the fit of other parts. The black finish provides corrosion protection, which is essential for RC vehicles that may encounter wet grass, morning dew, or muddy terrain during off-road driving sessions. The hex socket accommodation means you'll use standard metric hex keys (Allen wrenches) for assembly and disassembly, tools that are universally available and easy to find in any RC workshop. Each screw in the pack of eight has been manufactured to tight tolerances, ensuring that thread pitch, head geometry and socket depth remain consistent across the entire batch, which matters when you're maintaining multiple vehicles or performing batch upgrades.
