Overview
The FTX Colt Ring Self Tapping Screw 2.5*4 4pcs (FTX6876) is an essential spare part for any RC enthusiast in the UK who owns or maintains an FTX Colt RC vehicle. Whether you're a seasoned RC car UK competitor or a weekend basher enjoying off-road adventures, having quality replacement screws on hand is crucial for keeping your model in perfect working condition. These self-tapping screws are specifically designed to fit the FTX Colt platform, ensuring compatibility and reliability every time you need to perform maintenance or repair work on your RC vehicle.
Self-tapping screws are invaluable components in RC vehicle maintenance, as they create their own thread when inserted into a pre-drilled hole, eliminating the need for separate tapping operations. This makes them perfect for quick repairs and reassembly of your RC car between races or casual bashing sessions. The FTX Colt is a popular compact RC vehicle that demands precision parts and attention to detail, and these genuine FTX spare screws are manufactured to the exact specifications your model requires. Whether you're replacing worn fasteners, upgrading components, or performing routine maintenance on your ready to run RC car, these screws represent authentic OEM parts you can trust.
For RC enthusiasts in the UK seeking to keep their FTX Colt models in peak condition, having multiple packs of these screws available is a smart investment. The four-piece pack provides sufficient spares for various applications around your model, from chassis assembly to body panel attachment and internal component mounting. With genuine FTX parts, you can be confident that your RC vehicle will maintain its structural integrity and performance characteristics for years to come.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What are self-tapping screws and why do I need them for my RC car? — Self-tapping screws are fasteners that create their own thread as they are inserted, eliminating the need for pre-formed threads or additional tapping tools. For RC vehicles like the FTX Colt, they're essential for quick assembly, disassembly, and repair work, allowing you to perform maintenance in the field without specialized equipment while maintaining secure fastening of critical components.
- Are these screws compatible with my FTX Colt RC vehicle? — Yes, these are genuine FTX spare parts specifically engineered for the FTX Colt platform. The FTX6876 model number confirms these are authentic OEM screws designed to fit precisely at designated fastening points on your Colt, ensuring perfect compatibility and reliable performance.
- How many screws do I get in this pack? — This pack contains four individual self-tapping screws, providing you with multiple replacement parts for various assembly and repair applications, or allowing you to maintain a good stock of spare fasteners for regular maintenance of your RC vehicle.
- Can I use these screws for other FTX models besides the Colt? — While these screws are specifically designed for the FTX Colt, the 2.5*4 dimensions may be compatible with other FTX models that use similarly-sized fasteners. However, we recommend checking your specific model's manual or contacting our expert team at RC Model Shop to confirm compatibility before use on other vehicles.
- What makes genuine FTX screws better than generic alternatives? — Genuine FTX screws are manufactured to precise engineering specifications that match your FTX Colt's design requirements, ensuring perfect fit, optimal torque characteristics, and long-term reliability. Generic screws may cause fitment issues, over-tightening problems, or inadequate holding strength, potentially compromising your vehicle's structural integrity during running.
- How often should I replace these screws on my RC car? — Self-tapping screws typically maintain excellent holding strength for many assembly and disassembly cycles. However, if you notice a screw becoming stripped, damaged, or not holding firmly, it should be replaced immediately. Regular inspection during maintenance is recommended, and keeping spare packs on hand ensures you're never caught without replacements when needed.
