- Black Oxide Finish — The black oxide coating provides superior corrosion resistance and durability compared to uncoated fasteners, making these screws ideal for RC bashers who operate their models in wet, muddy, or challenging UK outdoor conditions where standard fasteners might degrade.
- Cap Head Design — The cap head style features a domed top that sits flush with surfaces, providing a clean aesthetic finish while also offering excellent grip for installation and removal with standard hex tools, making maintenance and upgrades straightforward for RC enthusiasts.
- Pack of Ten — This generous quantity of 10 screws gives you multiple sets for repairs, replacements, or complete build projects, ensuring you always have spares on hand for your ready to run RC models or custom builds.

Technical Performance
These cap head screws represent the kind of precision engineering that separates quality RC fasteners from inferior alternatives. The M3x8mm size is specifically chosen for applications requiring reliable fastening with optimal thread engagement and minimal material stress. The black oxide finish is not merely cosmetic; it provides a measurable increase in corrosion resistance, which is essential for RC bashers in the UK where moisture exposure is common. The cap head design distributes clamping force across a larger surface area than traditional socket head cap screws, reducing the likelihood of marring surrounding surfaces during installation. These screws are manufactured to tight tolerances to ensure consistent fit and performance across your RC car fleet. Whether you're maintaining a 1/10 scale brushless RC truck, a rock crawler, or any other Axial-based model, having quality fasteners ensures structural integrity and reliable performance during operation. The engineering behind these fasteners reflects Axial's commitment to providing RC enthusiasts with components that withstand the rigorous demands of RC driving, from gentle trail running to aggressive bashing on UK terrain.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What are cap head screws used for in RC models? — Cap head screws are fundamental fasteners used throughout RC vehicles for assembly and maintenance. They secure suspension components, mounting brackets, electronics enclosures, body panels, and countless other critical parts. Having a spare pack ensures you can complete repairs quickly without delays to your RC hobby.
- Are these screws compatible with my Axial RC model? — The M3x8mm specification is a standard metric size used across many Axial models, including the SCX6 range and other Axial platforms. However, always verify the specific fastener requirements for your particular model before ordering. If you're unsure, our team at RC Model Shop can provide guidance on compatibility.
- What does black oxide finish mean and why does it matter? — Black oxide is a protective coating process that chemically bonds to the metal surface, creating a thin, dark layer that significantly improves corrosion resistance. This finish is particularly valuable for RC bashers in the UK who operate their vehicles in wet or muddy conditions, as it prevents rust and degradation far better than uncoated fasteners.
- How many screws will I need for a typical project? — This pack of 10 screws provides multiple complete sets for smaller repairs or component replacements. For more extensive builds or if you're maintaining a large RC collection, you may want to order multiple packs to ensure you always have adequate spares available for maintenance and upgrades.
- Are these genuine Axial replacement parts? — Yes, these are authentic Axial manufactured fasteners specified with part number AXA084, ensuring compatibility and quality. Sourcing genuine components from authorised retailers like RC Model Shop guarantees you receive parts engineered to Axial's exacting standards.
