Key Features
- M3 Thread Size — The M3 specification indicates a 3-millimetre metric thread diameter, which is a standard fastening size throughout Team Associated RC vehicles and compatible with numerous suspension, drivetrain and chassis assemblies across the RC10 T6.4 and related platforms.
- 0.5mm Thread Pitch — The fine 0.5mm thread pitch provides precise engagement and secure locking without over-tightening, ensuring that critical adjustments remain stable during aggressive driving conditions and competitive track use without risking damage to delicate RC components.
- 2.5mm Length — The compact 2.5mm length makes these set screws ideal for applications where space is restricted, such as securing differential components, gear assemblies, and internal drivetrain elements where longer fasteners would interfere with proper assembly and function.
- Quantity of 10 Pack — Each pack contains 10 individual set screws, providing excellent value and ensuring you maintain adequate spares for trackside repairs, maintenance work, and parts swaps without running short during competitive events or practice sessions.
- Genuine Team Associated OEM Parts — These are official factory parts manufactured to Team Associated specifications, guaranteeing compatibility, material quality, and precision engineering that matches the exacting standards of your RC10 T6.4 or compatible Associated vehicle.
- Critical Spare Component — Set screws are consumable items easily lost or misplaced during assembly, disassembly, and high-stress driving, making them essential stock items for any serious RC car UK racer or builder maintaining their equipment between heats.
Technical Performance
These set screws represent the kind of precision hardware engineering that distinguishes genuine Team Associated components from generic alternatives. The M3 X 0.5 X 2.5 specification is meticulously engineered to work seamlessly within the Team Associated RC10 T6.4 platform and compatible models including the B6.4 platform, where many components share common fitment across the product range. The fine 0.5mm thread pitch, compared to standard coarser pitches, provides superior holding power and eliminates the risk of over-tightening, which could strip threads or damage fragile RC components. The compact 2.5mm length allows installation in confined spaces throughout your RC car's construction, particularly within differential assemblies, gear boxes, and internal drivetrain mechanisms where precision fastening is critical. Material composition and heat treatment meet Team Associated factory standards, ensuring consistent performance across all 10 pieces in the pack. For competitive racers using RC10 T6.4 vehicles or builders maintaining extensive Associated RC fleets, these genuine OEM fasteners are essential for maintaining mechanical integrity, ensuring reliable performance, and avoiding costly delays due to fastener failure or loss during racing events. The pack of 10 provides practical redundancy for workshop use, allowing you to complete multiple assembly tasks, rebuild operations, or maintain emergency spares for trackside repairs without running out of critical hardware.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What is a set screw and why do I need them for my Team Associated RC car? — Set screws are precision fasteners used throughout RC vehicle construction to secure various assemblies including differential components, gear mechanisms, and internal drivetrain elements. They are small, easily misplaced during assembly and disassembly, and frequently require replacement, making them essential spare items for any RC car UK racer or builder maintaining equipment between heats and competitive events.
- Are these genuine Team Associated parts? — Yes, these are official OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) components produced to Team Associated factory specifications. Using genuine parts ensures perfect compatibility, consistent quality, and reliable performance in your RC10 T6.4 or compatible Associated vehicle, avoiding fitment issues and potential failures that could result from inferior aftermarket alternatives.
- Will these set screws fit my Team Associated RC10 T6.4? — These M3 X 0.5 X 2.5 set screws are designed for Team Associated RC10 T6.4 vehicles. Many components also share fitment with the B6.4 platform, so compatibility is high across the Associated product line. Always check your vehicle manual or verify the part number (AS31500) before ordering to confirm fitment with your specific model.
- How many set screws do I need? — Each pack contains 10 individual set screws, providing excellent spare capacity for workshop use, multiple build projects, trackside repairs, and ongoing maintenance. For competitive racers, keeping several packs in stock ensures you never run short during critical repair work or between racing events.
- What is the difference between set screws and other fastener types? — Set screws have a pointed or flat tip and are typically headless (or feature only a small socket for adjustment), allowing them to fit into confined spaces throughout RC vehicle assemblies. Unlike standard bolts or cap screws with external heads, set screws are ideal for applications where space is extremely limited, such as internal drivetrain and differential mechanisms, making them irreplaceable for proper Team Associated RC vehicle construction.
