High Strength 7075 Fasteners for Precision Models

The Arrowmax M3x8 roundhead screws are manufactured from 7075 aluminium to give a favourable strength-to-weight ratio for RC applications. These fasteners are intended for builders who want durable, light fixings that remain serviceable during regular maintenance.

Typical Uses Around the Model

These screws suit attaching body panels, braces and other fittings where a lightweight fastener is preferred. The blue anodised finish not only looks tidy on visible areas but also provides a degree of corrosion protection for outdoor use. The hex Allen head supports easy removal during setup changes.

Choosing Aluminium over Steel

Aluminium 7075 fasteners reduce component mass compared with steel items and are a common choice where reduced weight improves handling. For heavily loaded joints or constant shock, builders may opt for steel instead, but aluminium serves well in many locations on a model.

Use a snug-fitting Allen key and steady torque; avoid wobbling the driver to reduce the risk of rounding the socket.
The anodised layer helps protect against corrosion, but frequent rinsing and drying after coastal runs will prolong the finish and prevent corrosion at mating surfaces.
Light-duty threadlocker can be used on aluminium threads, but choose a product suitable for aluminium and avoid overapplication to make future removal easier.
