These screws are designed specifically to work with Traxxas vehicles including the TRX 2.5, 2.5R, and 3.3 platforms, as well as many other Traxxas models currently available in the UK market.
Whether you're repairing damage from a crash, replacing stripped fasteners, or performing scheduled maintenance on your RC car, having genuine Traxxas parts ensures your vehicle performs as intended. RC Model Shop stocks only authentic Traxxas components, giving you the confidence that you're purchasing parts that meet exact manufacturer specifications and will integrate seamlessly with your vehicle.
Key Features
- M3 Machine Thread — These screws feature a standard M3 machine thread size, which is widely used across Traxxas models and ensures precise fit and proper load distribution when securing components together on your RC vehicle.
- 3x12mm Dimensions — The 3mm diameter and 12mm length specification makes these screws ideal for numerous applications throughout Traxxas platforms, from securing suspension components to fastening bodywork and internal assemblies.
- Cap-Head Design — The cap-head profile provides a larger bearing surface than standard screws, distributing load more effectively and reducing the likelihood of the fastener pulling through softer materials during high-stress driving conditions.
- Hex Drive Socket — The hex drive design allows you to use a standard hex key for installation and removal, providing superior grip and control compared to slotted or Phillips head alternatives, which is especially important when working on delicate RC components.
- Black Finish — The black coating not only looks professional but also provides basic corrosion resistance, helping to protect the fasteners from moisture and oxidation during storage or outdoor use.
- Set of Six — Each pack contains six individual screws, providing you with multiple spare fasteners to keep your RC car maintenance covered and ensuring you always have replacements on hand.
- Genuine Traxxas OEM Parts — These are authentic Traxxas original equipment manufacturer parts, guaranteeing compatibility with your Traxxas RC vehicle and ensuring performance that matches the original specifications.
Technical Performance
The Traxxas Head screws TRX2584 represent precision fastening engineering designed to withstand the demanding conditions of RC vehicle operation. Constructed from high-quality steel with a black finish for corrosion resistance, these M3 machine thread screws provide the structural integrity needed to keep your Traxxas RC car secure during aggressive driving. The 3x12mm specification offers an optimal balance between strength and ease of installation, with the cap-head design distributing load across a wider surface area than conventional fasteners. The hex drive socket allows for precise torque application using standard hex keys, ensuring you can tighten fasteners to the correct specification without risk of stripping the drive. These screws are compatible with a comprehensive range of Traxxas vehicles, including the legendary Sledge Belted 1/8 4WD brushless monster trucks, the Stampede 4X4 HD VXL 1/10 brushless platform, the WideMaxx monster truck series, and the extreme X-Maxx Belted 8S brushless platforms. Whether you're maintaining a 1/8 scale brushless monster truck generating tremendous power or working on a 1/10 scale stadium truck, these fasteners provide the reliability and precision fit that Traxxas enthusiasts expect from genuine OEM components.
