Red M2 x 5 socket button screw for Tamiya-style Mini 4WD parts

This spare M2 x 5 socket button screw in red is supplied for Mini 4WD hobbyists working on 1/32 scale models. It matches the small head profile and length commonly used on many Tamiya-style mounting points and accessories.

Restorers and display modellers will find the consistent head form and colour useful for replacing worn hardware while keeping an original look. The red finish also offers an easy visual cue when organising assembly points.

The screw fits standard M2 threaded inserts and tapped holes. Use the correct M2 socket driver, monitor torque to avoid stripping plastic threads, and ensure adequate engagement depth for a secure fit.

Can I replace original screws with these without modding parts?

Yes, these are sized to be direct replacements for common M2 tapped holes, so no part modification is normally required.

Are these suited to display models?

Their clean head shape and red finish make them a good choice for display models where appearance matters, provided handling is gentle.

How do I avoid damaging plastic inserts?

Use a low-torque driver, stop when resistance increases, and consider using a backing nut or metal insert for repeated removals.

Where else can these screws be used?

They are suitable for similar small-scale modelling and electronics enclosures that take M2 threads, but always check thread fit and length first.
