Technical Performance
The FTX Rokatan Flat Head Cross Screw M3x8 represents precision engineering at its finest. Manufactured to exacting tolerances, this fastener is engineered to securely hold together critical assemblies on the FTX Rokatan platform, which is known for its robust construction and off-road capability. The M3 metric sizing ensures compatibility with the threaded mounting points throughout the Rokatan chassis, whilst the 8mm length provides adequate grip depth without protruding excessively. The flat head design is particularly important for Rokatan models, as it allows components like aluminium chassis plates, gearbox covers, and suspension linkages to maintain a clean profile. The cross slot drive provides good grip for screwdrivers, reducing the risk of cam-out during installation or removal. Whether you're performing routine maintenance, replacing a worn screw, or restoring a damaged vehicle, this fastener delivers the reliability and precision that FTX Rokatan owners expect from genuine OEM parts.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Is this screw compatible with all FTX Rokatan models? — Yes, this M3x8 flat head cross screw is designed for use across the FTX Rokatan range. However, different assembly points may require different screw lengths, so always check your vehicle's manual or spare parts diagram to ensure you're using the correct size for your specific application.
- How many of these screws do I need? — The number required depends on which components you're assembling or repairing. Many FTX Rokatan owners purchase multiple screws to build a maintenance kit, as having spares ensures you're never stranded without a necessary fastener during field repairs.
- Where on the Rokatan would I use an M3x8 flat head screw? — The M3x8 sizing makes it suitable for various assembly points throughout the Rokatan, including chassis-mounted components and suspension linkages. Consult your vehicle's assembly instructions or spare parts diagram for exact mounting locations.
- Why should I buy genuine FTX spares instead of generic alternatives? — Genuine FTX fasteners are engineered to precise specifications and tolerances that match your vehicle perfectly. Generic alternatives may vary in material quality, head shape, or thread pitch, potentially leading to poor fit, damage to threaded holes, or fasteners coming loose during operation. For the small additional cost, genuine parts provide peace of mind and reliability.
- How should I store spare screws to prevent corrosion? — Keep spare fasteners in a dry location, ideally in a compartmentalised parts box or container. If you live in a damp climate or store your RC equipment in a shed, consider using small silica gel packets in your storage container to absorb moisture and prevent rust or corrosion.
- Can I use this screw on other FTX models? — Whilst this is an M3x8 metric fastener, other FTX models may use different sizes or types of fasteners. Always verify the correct specification for your model before purchasing. RC Model Shop stocks a wide range of FTX spare parts, so we can help you find the correct component for your vehicle.
