The correct grub screw makes a difference in your chassis regulation
When working with the chassis of a competition slot car, every small component counts. This SRC pack includes 8 M2.5 x 6 mm grub screws, adjustable with a 1.3 mm Allen key, and is specifically designed for the regulation of the cylindrical pin of the chassis system.
Function and performance
The grub screw serves a very specific function: to securely and precisely fix the cylindrical pin of the chassis, allowing it to operate with the exact clearance required by the setup. A damaged or incorrectly sized grub screw can compromise the entire regulation of the assembly, causing unwanted play or blockages that directly affect the car's behaviour on track.

Compatibility and installation
This grub screw is part of the original spare parts catalogue of SRC and is designed to fit without modifications in the chassis systems of their models. Being a component of standardised metric M2.5, it is advisable to always check that the thread pitch and length match the assembly's fittings before proceeding with installation.
The 8 unit pack is practical for having spares in the workshop as well as for equipping several chassis at once, which is common among tuners and club teams working with fleets of cars.
Common mistakes
The most common mistake with this type of grub screw is attempting to tighten them without the correct Allen key. The 1.3 mm key is essential: using a larger size can damage the internal hex and render the screw unusable. It is also advisable not to exceed the recommended torque for M2.5 threads, as the material can deform the thread of the fitting.
Frequently asked questions
How many units does this pack include?
The SRC RM1022 pack includes 8 M2.5 x 6 mm Allen grub screws.
What Allen key do I need for these grub screws?
You need a 1.3 mm Allen key to adjust them correctly.
What exactly is the function of the stud type grub screw in the chassis?
It allows for the regulation and fixing of the position of the cylindrical pin within the chassis system, controlling the clearance and movement of the assembly to optimise the car's behaviour on track.
Can I use these grub screws in chassis systems other than SRC?
As they are of standardised metric M2.5, they may be compatible with other systems that use the same metric and length, but we recommend always verifying with the manufacturer's specifications before installing them.
Is it necessary to have spares of these screws?
Yes. Small metric grub screws are wear components in continuous tuning and setup. Having spare units in the workshop prevents unnecessary downtime during preparation sessions.
