M4WD-18/BK black socket button head screw for Mini 4WD

The M2 x 5 socket button screw is supplied as an aftermarket fastener for Tamiya Mini 4WD components where a button-head M2 is required. It is intended for small mounting points such as body posts and light chassis brackets, and the black finish reduces the visibility of metal heads on exposed areas.

Confirm thread size and length before fitting to avoid interference. The button-style head sits above the surface and is driven with a small hex key; ensure adequate clearance and correct engagement to prevent stripping, especially in thin or tapped plastic.

Is the M4WD-18/BK suitable for stock Mini 4WD nuts?

If the existing nut or post is M2 and 5 mm length is acceptable, the screw will be compatible. Always check thread and available shank length before use.

Which hex key size is correct?

A small micro hex/Allen key sized for M2 socket screws is required. A snug fit protects the head and makes tightening straightforward.

Can these be used on painted shells?

Use caution when fastening to painted or thin plastic shells. Pre-drilling, using washers, or a captive nut can help preserve the paint and prevent cracking.

Does the finish offer rust protection?

The only finish detail provided is black colour. No specific anti-corrosion treatment is listed, so inspect and service parts exposed to moisture.

What are common mounting roles for this screw?

Typical uses include body mounts, accessory attachments, and light chassis fittings where a low-profile rounded head is acceptable. Check the head height fits the location.

Any tips when swapping older screws?

Ensure thread and length match, use the correct driver, and avoid excessive torque. For tapped plastic holes consider reinforcement like a washer or minimal threadlocker to protect the thread.
