- Precision M1.6 x 2mm Specification — These bolts are machined to exact M1.6 x 2mm dimensions, making them perfect for scale detailing work on RC vehicles, where proper proportions and authentic appearance are absolutely crucial to achieving that professional, show-quality finish.
- Authentic Black Colour — The black finish provides genuine scale appearance that matches the hardware found on real vehicles, allowing your RC model to look as close as possible to its full-size inspiration and enhancing the overall realism of your build.
- Compact Pack Format — The bolts arrive in a tidy, compact pack containing 20 pieces, which makes storage convenient and ensures you always have backup fasteners available for maintenance, repairs, or future projects without taking up excessive space in your workshop.
- Total Pack Weight Just 0.5g — The extremely light weight of 0.5g means these fasteners add virtually no extra weight to your RC model, allowing you to maintain precise weight distribution and handling characteristics while still achieving that essential scale detail.

Technical Performance
The RC4WD Miniature Scale Hex Bolts represent the kind of engineering precision that serious RC enthusiasts demand. Manufactured from high grade steel, these fasteners offer the tensile strength and durability needed for reliable assembly and reassembly throughout the life of your scale RC model. The M1.6 x 2mm specification is carefully chosen to balance authentic scale proportions with practical usability — small enough to look genuinely scale-correct, yet large enough to be handled and installed without requiring specialty tools you don't already own or access to a magnifying glass. The 1.5mm hex design makes installation straightforward using standard metric hex drivers, though RC4WD also offers a dedicated 4pc Precision Metric Hex/Nut Driver Set (Z-F0030) for those who want purpose-designed tools that provide the perfect fit and maximum control. With a total pack weight of just 0.03oz or 0.5g, these bolts add negligible mass to your RC vehicle, which means you can achieve outstanding scale detail without compromising the weight distribution, handling, or performance characteristics that you've carefully tuned into your build. Whether you're working on a delicate scale crawler or a more robust off-road RC machine, these bolts deliver the reliability and authenticity that separates professional-quality builds from amateur efforts.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What are miniature scale hex bolts used for in RC modelling? — Miniature scale hex bolts like these M1.6 x 2mm fasteners are essential for authentic scale detailing on RC vehicles.

This allows you to achieve authentic scale detail without compromising the carefully balanced weight distribution and handling characteristics of your vehicle.
