Overview
The ARRMA Button Head Screw 3x6mm (10) is an essential replacement fastener pack designed for RC enthusiasts who maintain and repair their ARRMA RC models. These high-quality button head screws are precision-engineered to match the exact specifications of factory-supplied hardware, making them the perfect choice for anyone running ARRMA brushless RC trucks, buggies, and other vehicles. Whether you're a seasoned RC competitor, a weekend basher, or someone new to the RC hobby in the UK, having spare button head screws on hand ensures you can quickly get back to enjoying your model without unnecessary downtime.
Button head screws are among the most commonly used fasteners in modern RC car design, securing everything from suspension components to chassis plates and bodywork mounts. The M3 x 6mm size is particularly popular across ARRMA's extensive range of 1/7 and 1/8 scale models, making this pack an indispensable addition to any RC enthusiast's spare parts collection. Unlike larger hex head screws that can catch on obstacles during bashful driving, button head screws feature a low-profile, rounded head design that minimises snagging and provides a cleaner, more professional appearance to your RC car or RC truck.
ARRMA is a globally recognised manufacturer of high-performance brushless RC vehicles, and their OEM fasteners maintain the same quality standards as the vehicles themselves. This pack of 10 replacement screws ensures you have sufficient spares to handle multiple repairs or upgrades, making it an economical choice for serious RC car UK enthusiasts who want genuine parts at a fair price.
Key Features
- Strong and Durable Steel Construction — These button head screws are manufactured from quality steel that resists stripping and deformation, even under the vibration and stress that RC models experience during high-speed runs and aggressive driving. Steel fasteners provide superior longevity compared to weaker alternatives and ensure your RC truck or buggy remains securely fastened through countless repairs and rebuilds.
- Precision Manufactured Threads — Each screw features precisely cut threads that provide a consistent, secure fit into threaded holes without requiring excessive force. This engineering excellence means faster servicing and maintenance, allowing you to spend less time in the workshop and more time enjoying your ready to run RC or race kit model. The tight tolerances also minimise the risk of cross-threading or damaging expensive aluminium components.
- M3 x 6mm Metric Specification — These screws conform to M3 (3mm diameter) x 6mm overall length specifications, making them a direct replacement for ARRMA's OEM hardware across dozens of current and previous generation models. The metric sizing ensures compatibility with standard RC tools and hex drivers available at any RC shop UK.
- Button Head Configuration — The low-profile button head design minimises ground clearance issues and reduces the risk of catching on obstacles during off-road bashing or street speed driving. This design also looks cleaner than traditional pan head screws, giving your RC car a more professional, finished appearance on display or during competition.
- Pack of 10 Screws — Each pack contains 10 individual button head screws, providing ample spares for multiple maintenance sessions, upgrades, or emergency repairs. This quantity is ideal for the typical RC enthusiast who may perform regular maintenance or experiment with different chassis configurations and body options.
Technical Performance
These button head screws represent the standard fastening solution used throughout ARRMA's brushless RC range, which includes everything from their 1/7 scale high-speed street basher models like the FELONY and INFRACTION, through to their aggressive 1/8 scale 4WD stunt trucks and speed buggies. The screws are manufactured to exacting tolerances that ensure they work perfectly with ARRMA's precision-engineered aluminium and composite chassis components. The steel material provides excellent corrosion resistance, which is important if you run your brushless RC truck in damp UK conditions or near salt-laden environments. The M3 x 6mm sizing places them among the most versatile fasteners in the RC hobby, suitable for securing suspension brackets, motor mounts, body posts, servo trays, and numerous other chassis assemblies across ARRMA's expansive model range. The precision threads cut into each screw ensure that assembly and disassembly cycles don't gradually strip the threads, a common problem with lower-quality replacement fasteners. Whether you're regularly maintaining a competition-grade ARRMA buggy, servicing a weekend basher, or building up a new roller kit, these button head screws deliver the reliability and ease of use that serious RC car UK enthusiasts expect from genuine OEM parts.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Are ARRMA button head screws compatible with other RC brands? — Whilst the M3 x 6mm specification is common across many RC manufacturers, these screws are specifically engineered as OEM replacements for ARRMA models. We recommend using them with ARRMA vehicles to ensure perfect fitment and compatibility with original factory holes and threaded inserts.
- How many screws do I get in each pack? — Each pack contains 10 individual M3 x 6mm button head screws, providing excellent value and ensuring you have sufficient spares for multiple repairs, maintenance sessions, or component upgrades on your ARRMA RC vehicle.
- What tools do I need to install these screws? — These button head screws feature a hex socket drive, meaning you'll need a standard hex key (Allen key) of the appropriate size to install and remove them. ARRMA supply metric hex keys with most of their RTR ready to run models, and spare sets are widely available at any RC shop UK.
- Will these screws fit my ARRMA model? — The M3 x 6mm button head screw is used across numerous ARRMA models spanning 1/7 and 1/8 scales, including popular brushless vehicles like the FELONY, INFRACTION, LIMITLESS, KRATON, NOTORIOUS, OUTCAST, TALION, TYPHON and many more. If your ARRMA model came with button head screws of this size from the factory, these replacement screws will be a perfect match.
- Can I use these screws if I run my RC in wet conditions? — Yes. The steel material used in these button head screws provides good corrosion resistance, making them suitable for use in damp UK weather conditions. However, after running in wet conditions, we recommend rinsing your RC vehicle with fresh water and allowing it to dry thoroughly before storing, to maintain the longevity of all metal components including fasteners.
