Service Grade M2 x 5 Socket Button Screw M4WD-18/GO for Mini 4WD

This M2 x 5 socket button screw in a gold finish is presented as a replacement fastener for Mini 4WD assembly and routine servicing. It uses standard M2 threads and a socket head compatible with 2 mm hex drivers, and is described primarily for fit and assembly use rather than performance enhancement.

Apply this screw where M2 x 5 fasteners are specified: body mounts, small brackets and lightweight accessory fittings on common Mini 4WD chassis. The gold appearance is noted in the listing; specific material or plating information is not provided by the source and should be verified when corrosion resistance or conductivity are required.

For reliable maintenance, confirm thread engagement and avoid over-torquing plastic mounting points. The socket head permits controlled torque application with a 2 mm hex driver, and the use of compatible M2 metal nuts or brass threaded inserts is recommended for repeatable assembly cycles.

How do I confirm correct thread engagement?

Partially screw in the fastener to verify that it threads smoothly without binding and that sufficient length remains for secure clamping. If the head contacts the part before full engagement, reassess the required length.

What maintenance practice extends chassis thread life?

For components that are removed frequently, fit metal M2 nuts or brass threaded inserts to protect the original chassis threads and enable repeatable torque control during service.

Any special tool recommendations?

A well-fitting 2 mm hex driver is recommended for consistent torque application and to minimise wear on the socket head. Avoid oversized or rounded drivers that may slip.
