Technical Performance
These M4 x 8mm BHCS screws represent precision fastening engineering for RC applications. The metric M4 thread size (4mm diameter) combined with the 8mm length specification means these screws are designed for specific mounting points where accurate sizing is critical to proper assembly and performance. The BHCS (Button Head Cap Screw) design provides superior holding power compared to standard philips or slot-head fasteners, with a low-profile button head that sits flush or slightly proud of the surface it's fastening. This design minimises snagging and damage to surrounding bodywork or components, which is particularly important in high-impact RC vehicles that experience regular crashes and hard use. Team Associated's manufacturing standards ensure consistent threading quality, material hardness, and dimensional accuracy across every screw in this pack. Whether you're fastening suspension components, chassis plates, electronics mounts, or other critical areas of your RC vehicle, these genuine screws deliver the reliability and precision engineering that competitive RC driving demands.
