Overview
The RC4WD Miniature Scale Hex Bolts (M2 x 4mm) in black are precision fasteners designed specifically for detailed scale RC builds and authentic model projects. Whether you're working on a scale RC crawler, a detailed scale truck build, or any RC car UK project that demands authenticity and attention to detail, these miniature hex bolts deliver the genuine hardware look that separates a truly professional-looking build from a standard RC model. RC enthusiasts and scale modellers across the UK have long recognised that the difference between a good RC car and an exceptional one often comes down to the small details, and these bolts are precisely the kind of component that elevates your build from ordinary to outstanding.
These are not your average fasteners—they are engineered from high grade steel with a durable black finish that resists corrosion and maintains its appearance through extended use and weather exposure. At just M2 x 4mm in size, they are genuinely miniature, making them perfect for 1/10 scale and smaller RC builds where proportional accuracy is essential. Each pack contains 20 individual bolts, giving you plenty for multiple projects or replacement bolts as needed. Whether you're building a scale rock crawler, a detailed show truck, or a precision off-road RC buggy, these hex bolts provide the authentic hardware appearance that collectors and serious hobbyists demand from their scale RC projects.
RC Model Shop stocks RC4WD Miniature Scale Hex Bolts as part of our comprehensive range of scale RC spares and upgrades. We understand that serious RC builders need access to genuine, quality components that can be relied upon to perform consistently and look absolutely authentic. These bolts are manufactured by RC4WD, a brand renowned throughout the RC community for producing precision scale hardware and detailed components that meet the exacting standards of scale enthusiasts worldwide.
Key Features
- High Grade Steel Construction — Manufactured from high grade steel, these bolts provide genuine strength and durability that far exceeds plastic alternatives, ensuring your scale build remains secure and stable during use and display.
- Durable Black Finish — The black finish is applied to resist corrosion, fading and weathering, so your bolts maintain their authentic appearance whether your RC model is displayed indoors or used outdoors in typical UK weather conditions.
- Precision M2 x 4mm Specification — With a thread length of exactly 4mm and a hex head outer diameter of 2mm, these bolts are proportionally accurate for 1/10 scale and smaller RC builds, ensuring authentic hardware appearance and proper fit with scale RC components.
- 20 Bolts Per Pack — Each pack contains 20 individual bolts, providing you with ample fasteners for multiple projects, repairs, or detailed builds where numerous bolts may be required for visual authenticity.
- Authentic Scale Appearance — These are not modified full-size bolts scaled down—they are purpose-engineered miniature fasteners that look absolutely authentic on scale RC models, giving your build the professional appearance demanded by scale enthusiasts.
- Compatible with RC4WD Tools — These bolts are designed to work with the RC4WD Miniature Scale Hex Bolt Tool (M2 Hex) (Z-S0626), allowing you to install and tighten them properly without risk of stripping or damaging these delicate fasteners.
Technical Performance
The RC4WD Miniature Scale Hex Bolts represent serious engineering for those who take their scale RC builds seriously. Manufactured from high grade steel rather than plastic or inferior alloys, these fasteners provide genuine structural integrity and authentic appearance that cannot be achieved with lower-quality alternatives. The 4mm thread length is precisely calculated for scale accuracy on 1/10 scale RC models and smaller platforms, while the 2mm hex head outer diameter matches the proportions you would find on genuine miniature hardware. The durable black finish is applied through a process that resists corrosion, ensuring these bolts maintain their appearance through years of use, whether your scale RC build spends its time on display shelves or being driven through UK countryside terrain. These bolts are genuinely miniature—far smaller than standard fasteners—which is why they require careful handling during installation. Over-tightening can strip the threads or damage the bolt head, so RC4WD recommend using their purpose-designed M2 Hex Tool for best results, though experienced builders can hand-install them carefully if necessary. The precision engineering means these bolts will never rattle loose or work themselves free, providing the rock-solid security that's essential for detailed scale builds where every component contributes to the final appearance and authenticity of the model.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Are these hex bolts suitable for my 1/10 scale RC crawler or truck build? — Yes, absolutely. These M2 x 4mm bolts are specifically engineered for 1/10 scale and smaller RC builds. Their proportions are accurate for scale models, making them ideal for detailed crawlers, scale trucks, and any RC car UK project where authentic appearance matters. They provide both structural security and the visual authenticity that separates a show-quality build from a standard RC model.
- How many bolts do I get in a pack, and will they be enough for my project? — Each pack contains 20 individual bolts, which provides substantial coverage for multiple projects or a heavily detailed single build. Most detailed scale RC trucks and crawlers use between 15-50 bolts depending on complexity, so you may need multiple packs for very detailed builds, but one pack is sufficient for standard detailing projects.
- What tools do I need to install these bolts without damaging them? — RC4WD recommend using their Miniature Scale Hex Bolt Tool (M2 Hex) (Z-S0626) for best results, as this tool is specifically designed to fit these tiny bolts without stripping or over-tightening them. However, experienced RC builders can carefully hand-install them if necessary. The critical point is to avoid over-tightening, as these are delicate fasteners and excessive force will damage them.
- Will these bolts rust or corrode if I use my RC model outdoors in UK weather? — No. The bolts are manufactured from high grade steel with a durable black finish that is specifically applied to resist corrosion and weathering. Whether your scale RC build is displayed indoors or used outdoors in typical UK conditions, these bolts will maintain their appearance and functionality for years.
- What makes these better than plastic bolts or standard fasteners? — High grade steel construction provides genuine strength and durability that plastic simply cannot match. These bolts are purpose-engineered as miniature fasteners rather than scaled-down full-size bolts, meaning they look absolutely authentic on 1/10 scale and smaller models. The proportions are perfect for scale accuracy, and they will never rattle loose or work themselves free, which is essential for detailed builds where every component contributes to the final appearance.
- Are these genuine RC4WD products, or are they generic fasteners? — These are genuine RC4WD Miniature Scale Hex Bolts, engineered and manufactured to RC4WD's quality standards specifically for scale RC enthusiasts. RC4WD is recognised throughout the RC community for producing exceptional scale hardware, and these bolts represent their commitment to helping builders create authentic, detailed RC models.
