Key Features
- Self-tapping design — These screws are engineered to cut their own thread as they are driven into the receiving material, meaning you don't need to pre-drill pilot holes in many applications, saving time during assembly and repair work on your RC car or truck.
- 3mm diameter with 6mm length — The precise sizing of 3*6mm makes these screws perfectly suited for securing small components, panels, and bracket assemblies commonly found on FTX RC models across their entire range of vehicles.
- Pack of six pieces — With six screws included in each pack, you have sufficient quantity for multiple repairs or complete assembly tasks, and it's wise to keep spares on hand for emergency field repairs at the track or on your RC bashing adventures.
- Genuine FTX spare part — As an official FTX component with part number FTX6531, these screws meet the manufacturer's exact specifications and are guaranteed to fit and function correctly on compatible FTX RC models.
- Essential maintenance component — Self-tapping screws are among the most frequently replaced fasteners in RC car ownership, making this a practical item to have in your spares box alongside batteries, tools, and other maintenance essentials.
Technical Performance
The FTX Ring Self Tapping Screw 3*6 represents quality engineering in fastener design, manufactured to exacting standards to ensure reliable performance in the demanding environment of RC model operation. The 3mm diameter provides a robust connection point suitable for securing bodywork, internal brackets, and component assemblies on a wide range of FTX RC vehicles. The 6mm length is carefully chosen to penetrate sufficiently into the receiving material without over-insertion, which could damage internal components or plastic housings common in RC car construction. Self-tapping screws offer several advantages over traditional fasteners in the RC hobby: they require less preparation of receiving materials, they can create threads in plastic, aluminium, and composite materials used throughout RC model construction, and they provide a secure, vibration-resistant connection essential for models experiencing the constant impacts and vibrations of off-road RC racing and bashing. The ring design of the screw head provides additional surface area for grip and load distribution, helping to prevent pull-through on softer plastic components. These screws are ideal for applications throughout FTX's vehicle range, including the popular Outback series, Carnage trucks, Bugsta buggies, and various other electric RC models that require reliable fastening solutions.

Frequently Asked Questions

- Why would I need spare self-tapping screws for my RC car? — Self-tapping screws are frequently needed fasteners in RC ownership. They secure bodywork panels, internal brackets, motor mounts, and electronic component housings. Through regular use, vibration, impacts, and maintenance, screws can become lost, damaged, or stripped. Keeping spare 3*6 screws ensures you can quickly repair your RC model without waiting for parts delivery, getting you back on the track or trail rapidly.
- Are these genuine FTX parts? — Yes, these are official FTX spare parts with the manufacturer part number FTX6531.

This quantity is sufficient for most assembly or repair tasks, and it's sensible to keep several packs in your RC tool kit given how frequently these fasteners are needed.
- What is the difference between self-tapping and regular screws? — Self-tapping screws have a specially formed tip and thread that allows them to cut their own thread as they are driven into the receiving material. This means no pre-drilling or tap preparation is usually needed, making installation faster and easier. For RC models with plastic, aluminium, and composite materials, self-tapping screws are ideal as they grip securely without damaging the surrounding material.
