The Utah 2.0 platform has become a popular choice for 1/18 scale brushless crawling, and stocking genuine FTX spares ensures compatibility and reliability. This cap head screw represents the attention to detail that FTX brings to every aspect of their RC crawler designs, from the initial engineering through to the spare parts ecosystem that keeps your rig running longer.
Key Features
- Precision M2 Metric Threading — The M2 specification ensures this screw fits perfectly into all corresponding threaded holes on the FTX Utah 2.0 chassis and components, providing secure fastening without risk of cross-threading or damage to delicate aluminium parts.
- 12mm Length — The 12mm length is precisely calculated to secure medium-thickness components together without protruding through and damaging surrounding parts or causing assembly complications when installing other components nearby.
- Cap Head Design — The distinctive cap head profile provides a larger contact surface than standard fasteners, distributing load more evenly across the joint and reducing the likelihood of the screw head sinking into softer plastic or composite materials under vibration and impact.
- Genuine FTX Component — As an official FTX spare part, this screw is manufactured to the exact specifications required by the Utah 2.0 design, ensuring perfect compatibility and eliminating any concerns about fitment issues or quality inconsistencies that can plague third-party alternatives.
- Pack of Multiple Units — Receiving multiple screws in this pack means you have spares available for immediate use, whether you're performing routine maintenance, building a second rig, or stocking your workshop with essential fasteners for quick repairs between RC sessions.
- Affordable Spare Part Solution — At just £2.99, this represents exceptional value for a genuine FTX spare, allowing you to maintain and repair your Utah 2.0 without incurring significant expense compared to replacing entire assemblies or purchasing incomplete repair kits.
Technical Performance
The FTX Utah 2.0 Cap Head Screw M2 x 12mm has been engineered to withstand the demanding conditions of 1/18 scale brushless crawling. The M2 metric standard provides the ideal balance between holding power and the delicate nature of the components it fastens together on this compact crawler platform. The cap head design is particularly important because it allows the screw to be tightened securely with a hex key (allen key) without the risk of stripping, which can occur with slot or Phillips head alternatives. The 12mm length specification places it in the mid-range of fasteners used throughout the Utah 2.0, making it suitable for securing body mounts, chassis braces, suspension linkages, and various internal components. The engineering quality reflects FTX's commitment to producing reliable RC cars and crawler platforms that can handle rough terrain, multiple heat cycles during extended driving sessions, and the vibration-induced loosening that occurs during off-road bashings. These screws maintain their grip over extended use, contributing to the overall durability and longevity of your FTX Utah 2.0 crawler. Whether you're running your rig on rock gardens, technical crawl courses, or casual backyard trails, having genuine replacement fasteners ensures that you can quickly restore your vehicle to factory specification if any damage occurs.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Is this screw compatible with other FTX crawler models besides the Utah 2.0? — This screw is specifically designed for the FTX Utah 2.0 and is listed as compatible with both the FTX5476GY (FTX Utah 2.0 1:18 Brushless 2-Speed LCG Crawler Grey) and FTX5476MT (FTX Utah 2.0 1:18 Brushless 2-Speed LCG Crawler Metallic Teal). Whilst you might find this size useful in other FTX models, it's specifically engineered for the Utah 2.0 platform, and we recommend checking your specific model's parts diagram before using these fasteners in other vehicles.
- How many screws come in this pack? — The manufacturer's listing shows this as a standard spare part pack; however, the exact quantity per pack is not specified in the available product information. We recommend contacting RC Model Shop directly to confirm the number of screws you'll receive, though spare fastener packs typically contain multiple units to ensure you have adequate stock for repairs and maintenance.
- What is the difference between this M2 x 12mm screw and other cap head sizes in the Utah 2.0 range? — The FTX Utah 2.0 uses several different cap head screw sizes to suit various components. The M2 x 12mm is specifically used for mid-range fastening tasks, whilst other sizes like the M2 x 6mm are used for smaller components and the M2 x 17mm and M2 x 23mm are employed for longer assemblies requiring greater separation between components. The M2 diameter remains consistent across the range, with the length varying to suit each specific application.
- Do I need any special tools to install this screw? — The cap head design requires a hex key (allen key) of the appropriate size for installation and removal. FTX cap head screws typically use standard metric hex key sizes, and you'll likely have the correct tool in a standard RC tool kit, though the specific size isn't detailed in the product specifications.
- Is this suitable for beginners working on RC cars for the first time? — Yes, replacing fasteners is one of the most straightforward maintenance tasks you can perform on your RC crawler. Even beginners can confidently install these screws with just a hex key and no specialist knowledge required. This makes them perfect for novice builders performing their first maintenance sessions or repairs on their FTX Utah 2.0.
- What is the FTX Utah 2.0 that this screw fits? — The FTX Utah 2.0 is a 1/18 scale brushless crawling platform featuring a 2-speed LCG (low centre of gravity) chassis design. It's available in grey and metallic teal colours and represents one of the most popular compact crawlers for UK RC enthusiasts who want a capable, ready-to-run brushless RC car that doesn't require a large space for enjoyable off-road bashings and technical crawling.
