Technical Overview 3RACING M4WD-18/BK

The 3RACING M4WD-18/BK is a precision M2 x 5 socket button screw finished in black, engineered for reliable fastening on Tamiya Mini 4WD chassis. It is intended as a compact, repeatable fix for tune-critical attachment points.

Engineering and application

Manufactured to consistent thread tolerances, this socket button screw provides stable clamping for small brackets, roller mounts and body fixings. The low profile head helps preserve clearance while maintaining secure engagement under vibration.

Compatibility and setup considerations

  • Integrates with standard Tamiya Mini 4WD mounting hardware and common upgrade plates.
  • Recommended for racers who require predictable fastening when adjusting setups between runs.
  • Maintains part alignment which supports consistent handling during lap-to-lap tuning.

Installation and service notes

Fit with the correct hex driver to avoid socket rounding and verify thread engagement to prevent overrun into thin panels. Inspect fasteners regularly and replace if any head deformation or thread wear is detected.

What torque is appropriate for M2 x 5 on Mini 4WD parts?

Use light fingertip torque; overtorque can strip plastic threads. For metal-to-metal joints a controlled low torque setting ensures repeatable clamping without damage.

Are these compatible with aluminium upgrade plates?

Yes, they work with aluminium plates provided the plate holes are sized for M2 screws and the backing is secure to prevent loosening under load.

What inspection routine do you recommend for race hardware?

Check for head rounding, thread deformation and any motion in fitted components before each event. Replace suspect screws and re-torque after initial runs to confirm stability.
