Key Features
- Super-strong steel material — These cap head screws are manufactured from high-quality steel that delivers exceptional durability and strength, ensuring they maintain their integrity under the vibrations and stresses experienced during normal RC driving and jumping, which is essential for keeping your ARRMA vehicle securely assembled across all chassis components.
- Precision manufactured threads — Each screw features precisely cut threads that allow for fast and easy maintenance and reassembly, reducing the risk of cross-threading or damage to mounting holes when you're servicing your RC car UK model, whether you're replacing worn components or performing routine maintenance.
- Cap head design — The distinctive cap head profile provides excellent mechanical advantage when using an Allen key or hex driver, allowing you to apply proper torque without stripping the fastener, and the enclosed design protects the top of the screw from dirt and damage during transport and storage in your RC workshop.
- M2.5x12mm specification — This size is engineered to fit a vast range of ARRMA vehicles across their entire product line, from 1/10 scale brushless monster trucks and short course trucks to 1/8 scale buggies and 1/7 scale desert trucks, making these screws genuinely universal spares for any ARRMA collection.
- Pack of 10 quantity — Each pack contains 10 individual screws, giving you multiple spares for various maintenance tasks and ensuring you'll have replacements available for future repairs without needing to reorder immediately after your first use.
- Black finish — The black steel construction provides aesthetic consistency with ARRMA's design language whilst offering excellent corrosion resistance, keeping your fasteners looking professional and performing reliably even after multiple run sessions.
Technical Performance
These ARRMA Cap Head Screws represent the genuine replacement parts specified by ARRMA engineers for their complete vehicle range. The M2.5x12mm dimensions refer to a 2.5 millimetre diameter shaft with a 12 millimetre overall length, making these fasteners ideal for mounting body panels, servo covers, shock tower braces, battery trays, and numerous internal chassis components found across ARRMA's 1/10 scale brushless electric trucks, 1/8 scale competition buggies, and 1/7 scale high-performance desert machines. The machine thread design ensures compatibility with threaded inserts and pre-drilled holes throughout ARRMA's chassis designs. The cap head format features a standard hex socket, typically requiring a 2.0mm or 2.5mm Allen key for installation, allowing precise torque application without the fastener slipping or rounding out. Steel construction provides superior holding strength compared to aluminium or plastic alternatives, which is critical when securing components that experience rotational forces, longitudinal acceleration loads, and vertical impacts during high-speed RC driving. The precision manufacturing process ensures consistent fit and finish across all 10 screws in each pack, eliminating the frustration of receiving fasteners with manufacturing defects or dimensional inconsistencies. These genuine ARRMA parts are the specification choice for any serious RC enthusiast maintaining their brushless electric RC vehicles in the UK, whether preparing for racing competitions or casual weekend bashing sessions.
