Technical Performance

The FTX Button Head Screw 2.5 X 12 X 1.5 represents precision engineering in miniature fastener form. The metric designation breaks down as follows: 2.5mm diameter shaft, 12mm total length, and 1.5mm head height when seated. This specific combination of dimensions has been carefully engineered to suit the particular mounting requirements found throughout FTX's range of 1/10 scale RC vehicles and other model sizes. The button head design distributes load effectively across the connection point, preventing the surface damage that can occur when using traditional countersunk or pan head fasteners. The threading is precisely cut to metric standards, ensuring that the screw engages smoothly with threaded inserts, chassis plates and suspension components without stripping or jamming. Material composition provides sufficient strength for the dynamic loads experienced during off-road RC bashing, rock crawling, and competitive racing. Whether you're mounting suspension arms, securing body panels, attaching electronics trays, or fastening internal chassis braces, these screws deliver the reliability expected of genuine OEM parts. The consistent quality across all eight pieces in the pack means you can confidently rebuild multiple assemblies knowing each fastener will perform identically.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Which FTX RC models use these button head screws? — These screws are specifically designed for the FTX Texan 1/10 scale RC truck and are compatible across many other models in the FTX range including buggies, crawlers and various other RC vehicles. Check your specific model's parts diagram to confirm compatibility before ordering.
• Are these genuine FTX spare parts? — Yes, these are authentic OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) FTX spare parts manufactured to the exact specifications used in genuine FTX vehicles. When you purchase from RC Model Shop, you're buying directly from an authorised retailer guaranteeing genuine parts.
• Why should I buy spare button head screws? — RC vehicles experience constant vibration and stress during use, which can loosen or damage fasteners over time. Having spare screws ensures you can quickly repair your model without expensive downtime. This pack of eight provides ample spares for routine maintenance, repairs and component upgrades.
• What makes button head screws better than other fasteners? — Button head screws feature a rounded top that sits flush with component surfaces, providing a clean aesthetic appearance and protecting surrounding parts from damage. They distribute clamping force more evenly than standard pan head fasteners and resist loosening better during high-vibration RC operation.
• Are these screws suitable for beginners? — Absolutely. Spare fasteners are essential for any RC hobbyist, regardless of experience level. Beginners especially benefit from having ready access to replacements since learning proper assembly techniques sometimes involves trial and error.
• What is the torque specification for these screws? — While specific torque values are not provided in the manufacturer specifications, button head screws should be tightened firmly but not over-tightened, as this can strip the threading. Hand-tighten until snug, then add a quarter turn using an appropriate hex key.
• Can I use these screws on RC models other than FTX? — The 2.5 X 12 X 1.5 dimensions are metric standard sizes that may fit some non-FTX models, but compatibility is not guaranteed. Always verify dimensions before substituting with non-OEM parts to avoid assembly problems.
