Key Features

• Machine Thread Construction — These screws feature precision machine threading that ensures consistent engagement with matching nuts and tapped holes, providing secure fastening without slipping or spinning under vibration during off-road driving.

• M3 Diameter Thread — The M3 metric thread size is the standard specification used throughout the FTX vehicle range for medium-duty fastening applications, ensuring compatibility with all matching components and holes on your RC model.
• 14mm Length — This specific length is precisely engineered to secure components without bottoming out or creating excessive protrusion, which could interfere with moving parts or suspension geometry on your RC vehicle.
• Hex Driver Type — The hexagonal socket allows use of standard hex driver tools in various sizes, providing quick and efficient installation or removal without requiring specialised equipment.
• Black Finish — The black finish provides corrosion resistance and a professional appearance whilst maintaining visibility during installation and maintenance procedures.

Technical Performance

The FTX Cap Head Hex Screw M3*14 is engineered using precision manufacturing techniques to ensure consistent dimensional accuracy and thread quality. Machine threading provides superior holding power compared to rolled threads, critical for maintaining secure fastening on high-vibration RC vehicles operating in demanding off-road conditions. The M3 metric diameter represents the industry standard for medium-duty fastening applications on 1/10th scale RC trucks, buggies and crawlers, whilst the 14mm length has been specifically calculated to accommodate the material thickness of typical FTX component assemblies without risk of bottoming out or creating binding. The cap head design delivers approximately 50% greater surface area than countersunk alternatives, significantly reducing the likelihood of socket stripping during driver engagement. The black finish provides genuine corrosion resistance, essential for vehicles exposed to moisture, mud and salt water during coastal or wet weather operation. Build quality is consistent with FTX's reputation for producing durable, reliable spare parts that withstand the rigorous demands of competitive RC racing and recreational bashing alike.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Which FTX RC vehicles are compatible with the FTX6532 cap head hex screws? — These M3*14 screws are compatible with the FTX Bugsta 4WD Brushed 1/10th Off-Road Buggy RTR (FTX5530), FTX Carnage 2.0 1/10 Brushed Truck 4WD RTR in both Red (FTX5537R) and Blue (FTX5537B) variants, FTX Carnage 2.0 Brushless RTR Monster Truck (FTX5539), and FTX Vantage 2.0 Brushed Buggy 1/10 4WD RTR (FTX5533B). These screws can also be used on other FTX models requiring M3*14 fasteners.
• Are these screws suitable for beginners to use? — Absolutely. These cap head hex screws are designed for straightforward installation using standard hex driver tools, making them perfect for beginners learning basic RC vehicle maintenance. The hexagonal socket design provides excellent grip and reduces the risk of damaging the screw head during installation or removal compared to other fastener types.
• What tools do I need to install these screws? — You will require a metric hex driver socket or hex key in the appropriate size to match the socket depth of these M3 cap head screws. A cordless screwdriver or hand hex key will both work effectively. No specialist RC tools are required.
• How many screws are in this pack? — This pack contains six individual cap head hex screws, providing multiple replacement options for different applications across your FTX RC vehicle or spare parts inventory.
• What is the difference between cap head and button head hex screws? — Cap head screws feature a taller, domed head profile that provides significantly greater surface area for the hex driver socket to grip, making them easier to install and remove whilst reducing the risk of stripping. Button head screws have a lower profile, making them useful where clearance is limited. For general FTX applications, cap head screws offer superior practicality and durability.
• Can I use these screws on other RC brands besides FTX? — Whilst these are FTX-branded screws optimised for FTX vehicles, the M3*14 metric specification is a standard used across many RC manufacturers. However, to guarantee perfect compatibility and OEM quality assurance, we recommend using manufacturer-specific spare parts for your specific RC model.
