The Utah 2.0 is known for its robust construction and impressive capability, and these cap head fasteners are key to maintaining that integrity. By choosing genuine FTX spares from RC Model Shop, you're investing in the longevity and reliability of your RC hobby investment.
Key Features
- Genuine FTX Manufacturing — These cap head screws are produced by FTX to original equipment manufacturer (OEM) specifications, guaranteeing perfect compatibility with your Utah 2.0 and eliminating fitment issues that can arise from aftermarket or incorrect fasteners.
- 2*17mm Specification — The 2mm hex socket head diameter combined with 17mm length makes this fastener ideal for specific mounting applications on the Utah 2.0 chassis and body assembly points where medium-length fasteners are required.
- Cap Head Design — The socket head cap screw design provides superior holding power compared to standard hex head fasteners, with a larger contact surface that distributes load more effectively and resists vibration loosening during aggressive off-road driving.
- Essential Maintenance Component — Cap head screws are high-wear items in RC vehicles due to constant vibration, impact forces and environmental exposure, making spare packs an absolute necessity for any serious RC enthusiast maintaining their crawler or buggy collection.
- Cost-Effective Spare Parts Solution — At just £2.99 per pack, these fasteners represent excellent value for money and should form part of your essential RC maintenance kit alongside other Utah 2.0 spares.

Technical Performance
The FTX Utah 2.0 cap head fasteners are precision-manufactured from high-grade steel, engineered to withstand the demanding forces experienced in modern RC vehicles. The 2*17mm specification provides optimal length for medium-depth mounting points whilst maintaining sufficient thread engagement to prevent stripping or premature failure. Cap head socket screws deliver superior clamping force distribution compared to traditional fasteners, reducing the risk of vibration-induced loosening that commonly affects lower-quality RC spares. The hex socket design accommodates standard 1.5mm hex keys, enabling quick and convenient adjustment without requiring specialist tools. These fasteners are finished to FTX's quality standards and designed to resist corrosion from moisture exposure during wet weather RC driving sessions common in the UK climate. The engineering precision ensures perfect fitment with factory-drilled mounting points throughout the Utah 2.0 chassis and body assembly, eliminating the fitment issues and structural integrity problems that can result from using incorrect or non-genuine fasteners. For builders creating custom configurations or upgrading their Utah 2.0, having genuine spare fasteners ensures that any modifications maintain factory-standard strength and reliability.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What size hex key do I need for these FTX cap head screws? — The 2*17mm cap head screws use a standard 1.5mm hex key (Allen key), which is a common size in most RC tool kits and easily available from any RC retailer or hobby shop in the UK.
- Are these screws compatible with other FTX models or just the Utah 2.0? — Whilst these fasteners are specifically engineered for the Utah 2.0 platform, the 2*17mm specification may be compatible with other FTX models that utilise the same size socket head cap screws in their design. However, for guaranteed fitment and performance, we recommend verifying compatibility with your specific model's documentation before use.
- How many screws come in each pack? — The source material indicates these are sold as spare packs, though the exact quantity per pack is not specified in available product documentation. We recommend contacting RC Model Shop directly to confirm the number of fasteners included with your order.
- Why should I use genuine FTX spares instead of generic fasteners? — Genuine FTX fasteners are manufactured to exact specifications matching your Utah 2.0's original equipment, ensuring perfect fitment, preventing stripped threads, and maintaining the structural integrity and safety of your RC vehicle. Cheaper generic fasteners may have slightly different dimensions, inferior material quality, or inadequate corrosion resistance, potentially leading to failure during use.
- How often will I need to replace cap head screws on my RC crawler? — Cap head screws are subject to vibration loosening and occasional stripping, particularly in intensive off-road use. Many RC enthusiasts maintain spare packs of common fastener sizes to quickly address loose or damaged screws during maintenance sessions and track days without interrupting their driving schedule.
- Can I use these screws for body mounting as well as chassis assembly? — The 2*17mm specification is versatile and may be suitable for various mounting applications across the Utah 2.0 platform. For specific application guidance, consult your vehicle's assembly manual or contact the RC Model Shop team for expert advice on fastener placement.
