RC4WD M2.5 x 2 Set Screw Pack of 10 Black Grub Screws Z-S1522

Overview

The RC4WD M2.5 X 2 Set Screw pack (Z-S1522) is an essential hardware component for RC enthusiasts who build and maintain their own models. This pack contains ten precision-engineered black set screws, each measuring M2.5 x 2mm in length, making them ideal for small-scale assemblies where a short grub screw is required. Whether you're working on a detailed scale RC crawler, a competition-grade RC buggy, or any other RC car UK project, these set screws provide reliable fastening for intricate assembly work where standard fasteners would be too large or too long.

Set screws, also known as grub screws, are indispensable for RC builders because they secure components without protruding heads that might catch on terrain or interfere with moving parts. The M2.5 x 2mm specification makes this pack particularly valuable for fine-detail work on scale RC models where precision and correct sizing are critical to achieving both aesthetic authenticity and functional reliability. RC Model Shop stocks the RC4WD M2.5 X 2 Set Screw pack because we understand that successful RC building depends on having access to quality hardware components that match the exacting standards of modern RC design.

These screws are manufactured to RC4WD's recognised quality standards and are designed specifically to work seamlessly with RC4WD's tooling ecosystem. The black finish provides a professional appearance that integrates well with modern RC chassis and components, and the compact 2mm length ensures they won't create unnecessary bulk in tight assembly spaces common in scale RC models.

Key Features

• Ten-Piece Pack — This pack includes ten individual M2.5 x 2mm set screws, providing enough fasteners for multiple projects or to maintain a well-stocked spare parts box, which is essential for any serious RC enthusiast who regularly works on their ready to run RC models or custom builds.
• M2.5 x 2mm Specification — The precise M2.5 diameter and 2mm length make these set screws ideal for small-scale assemblies where a short fastener is required, ensuring proper fit in tight spaces without excess material protruding that could interfere with mechanical movement or aerodynamic bodywork.
• Black Finish — The black colour coating provides a professional, stealth appearance that complements modern RC design aesthetics whilst offering subtle protection to the steel underneath, helping these fasteners blend seamlessly into your finished RC model.
• Hex Drive Design — These set screws are designed to be driven with a 0.050 inch hex driver, a standard size in RC tooling that ensures compatibility with common RC workshop tools and allows for precise, controlled installation without risk of stripping or damaging the screw head.
• RC4WD Quality Standard — As an RC4WD component, these set screws meet the exacting standards of a manufacturer renowned for precision engineering in the RC scale model market, ensuring consistent thread quality and material durability across the entire pack.

Technical Performance

These M2.5 x 2mm set screws are engineered from quality steel with precision-cut threads that provide secure fastening in RC applications where vibration and constant movement require reliable hardware. The 0.050 inch hex socket (approximately 1.27mm) allows for precise torque application without stripping, a critical feature when working with small fasteners on scale RC models where over-tightening could damage receiving threads or crush delicate components. The 2mm length is purposefully short, designed specifically for situations where standard set screws would protrude excessively—this is particularly valuable in scale RC crawlers, detailed competition RC buggies, and any RC car UK project where minimising component height is essential to achieving correct proportions and maintaining clearance for suspension travel or articulation.

What's in the Box

• 10x Set Screw M2.5 x 2mm (Black)

Tools Required

• 0.050 inch hex driver (RC4WD Standard Hex Driver Tool Z-F0022 recommended for optimal fit and control)

Frequently Asked Questions

• What size hex driver do I need for RC4WD M2.5 x 2 set screws? — These set screws use a 0.050 inch hex socket, and RC4WD recommends pairing them with their Standard Hex Driver Tool (Z-F0022) for consistent, reliable installation that prevents stripping or damaging the screw head.
• What are set screws used for in RC models? — Set screws, also called grub screws, are used to secure components together without visible fastener heads. In RC applications, they're particularly valuable for adjusting and locking moving parts—such as gear hubs, motor shafts, and servo horns—whilst remaining virtually invisible on finished scale models.
• Why would I choose M2.5 x 2mm over larger set screws? — The M2.5 x 2mm size is ideal for small-scale assemblies and detailed RC models where standard fasteners would be visually disproportionate or mechanically too large. The 2mm length prevents over-penetration that could damage components or create interference in tight spaces.
• Are these compatible with all RC brands? — Yes, the M2.5 x 2mm set screw is a standard metric fastener specification that works with any RC model requiring this size, though RC4WD recommends using their matching hex driver tool (Z-F0022) for best results and to prevent tool slip.
• How many sets of screws do I get in one pack? — This pack contains ten individual set screws, providing sufficient fasteners for multiple projects or to build a comprehensive spare parts collection for regular maintenance of your RC car UK fleet.
