Dependable Small Fasteners from Tamiya 49159

Small components like screws determine how neatly and reliably a model comes together. The Tamiya 49159 Round Head Screw (3x14mm) is well suited to everyday fastening and straightforward servicing tasks on RC kits.

Typical Uses in Model Builds

These screws work well for attaching body panels, securing electronics mounts and fixing trim parts. Their round head profile helps reduce stress points on thin materials while keeping a tidy appearance.

Fitment and Maintenance Notes

They are compatible with many Tamiya assemblies and common third-party parts. When replacing screws, verify thread engagement and clearance to avoid interference with moving parts or chassis hardware.

Are these metric screws?

Yes, the 3x14mm designation indicates metric sizing, so they pair well with metric-threaded parts and chassis holes specified in millimetres.

Should I use threadlocker on metal-to-metal joints?

For vibration-prone metal connections a light removable threadlocker is useful. Avoid permanent compounds if you expect to disassemble the joint later.

Can I swap these for longer screws?

You can substitute longer screws if there is sufficient clearance and thread engagement, but confirm there is no risk of contact with moving parts before fitting.

How do I avoid stripping plastic threads?

Use moderate torque, start the screw by hand and stop when the part sits securely. If the plastic thread is worn, consider using a nut or a slightly larger fastener designed for repair.

Where should I source spare screws?

Spare screws are available from hobby shops, online parts suppliers and official Tamiya dealers. Keep labelled spares with your tool kit for quick roadside fixes.
