Key Features
- M3 Thread Size — The M3 metric thread specification ensures compatibility with Element RC Enduro platform vehicles and provides the optimal balance between holding strength and ease of installation without over-tightening.
- 20mm Length — This length provides sufficient engagement depth for secure fastening whilst maintaining the low profile design that prevents interference with adjacent components or suspension geometry.
- Low Profile Socket Head Design — Unlike standard socket head cap screws, the low profile variant sits closer to the surface, reducing the overall height footprint and preventing accidental contact with moving parts or obstacles during off-road driving.
- Hex Driver Compatibility — These screws feature a hex socket head that accepts standard hex key (Allen key) drivers, allowing precise installation and removal without risk of stripping the fastener head like Phillips or slot drives.
- Black Anodised Finish — The black colour coating provides both aesthetic appeal and corrosion resistance, protecting the underlying metal from rust and oxidation even when exposed to moisture and muddy trail conditions common in UK RC driving environments.
- Machine Thread Construction — The machine thread design ensures consistent engagement across the fastener length, providing reliable clamping force and preventing loosening due to vibration during high-performance RC driving.
- Pack of 10 — Each pack contains 10 individual screws, providing spare fasteners for multiple repairs, complete vehicle rebuilds, or maintaining a stock of replacements for competition vehicles and training models.
Technical Performance
These Element RC M3x20mm low profile socket head cap screws represent precision fastening hardware engineered to exacting standards. The M3 thread diameter provides optimal strength-to-weight ratio for RC applications, whilst the 20mm length accommodates the assembly requirements of Element RC Enduro Trail Trucks without excessive protrusion. The low profile socket head design differentiates these screws from standard variants, allowing them to integrate seamlessly into tight chassis spaces and suspension mounts where conventional fasteners would create clearance issues. The black anodised finish protects against corrosion whilst maintaining the professional appearance expected by serious RC enthusiasts across the UK. The hex socket accommodation ensures compatibility with standard RC mechanic's tool kits, allowing precise installation with minimal risk of fastener damage. The machine thread design provides superior vibration resistance compared to thread-rolling alternatives, critical when vehicles are operating at high speeds or traversing rough terrain where constant micro-movements could otherwise cause fastener migration.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Which Element RC vehicles are these screws compatible with? — These M3x20mm low profile socket head cap screws are specifically designed for Element RC Enduro Trail Trucks. Compatible models include the EL40117 Enduro Ecto Trail Truck RTR in Green, EL40124 Enduro Trail Truck Zuul Tan RTR, EL40122 Enduro Ecto Trail Truck RTR in Black, EL40130 Enduro Ecto Trail Truck RTR Grey with Portal Axles, and EL40115 Enduro Trail Truck Knightrunner RTR in Blue. If you own any of these RTR models, these screws are direct replacements and upgrades.
- Why would I need replacement screws for my RC car? — During regular maintenance of your RC hobby vehicles, fasteners can become lost, stripped, or damaged. Whether you're performing scheduled maintenance, rebuilding suspension components, or repairing damage from trail impacts, having spare fasteners ensures you can quickly return your vehicle to service without downtime waiting for parts delivery.
- Are these low profile screws different from standard socket head cap screws? — Yes, the key difference is the profile height. Standard socket head cap screws feature a taller head that can interfere with suspension geometry or interfere with surrounding components in tight chassis spaces. These low profile variants sit closer to the mounting surface, providing cleaner integration and preventing snagging during off-road driving common to UK trail courses and bashers.
- Can I use these screws with other RC brands? — Whilst these screws are specifically designed for Element RC Enduro platform vehicles, M3x20mm socket head cap screws are industry-standard fasteners. However, for optimal fitment and to ensure compatibility with your specific vehicle's design requirements, it is recommended to verify compatibility or consult Element RC documentation before substituting fasteners on other RC brands.
- How many screws should I order? — This pack contains 10 screws, suitable for minor repairs or single vehicle maintenance tasks. If you're performing a complete rebuild or maintaining multiple vehicles, you may wish to order multiple packs to ensure adequate spare stock for future maintenance cycles.
- What is the difference between SHCS and SHCH fastener terminology? — SHCS stands for Socket Head Cap Screw, whilst SHCH can refer to Socket Head Cap Screw variants. Both terms may be used interchangeably in RC hobby literature. What matters for your Element RC vehicle is that these are low profile socket head variants measuring M3x20mm with hex driver compatibility.
