Tectime M2x5 Stud Bolts: small in size, essential in the workshop
When working on the setup or assembly of a slot car, a model, or any precision modelling project, fastening elements make the difference between a solid result and a provisional one. The Tectime M2x5 stud bolts (ref. TT088) meet this need exactly: M2 metric thread screws with a length of 5 mm, supplied in packs of 10 units so you never run out in the middle of a work session.

Function and Performance
Studs — also known as set screws or headless screws with threads on both ends — are commonly used to secure components that require frequent disassembly or where there is no space for the head of a conventional screw. In the realm of slot and modelling, they appear in body mountings, motor mounts, chassis parts, and precision assemblies where play must be minimal.
The M2 metric is one of the most common in small-format screws for this type of application, and the 5 mm length covers most standard thicknesses in plastics and lightweight metals used in modelling and slot car preparation.
Compatibility and Applications
As standard M2 metric screws, these studs are compatible with any nut or threaded part of the same metric, regardless of brand or system. Their most common uses in the hobby include:
- Securing components in slot car chassis.
- Mounting and adjusting motor mounts and supports.
- Assembling parts in static models and dioramas.
- Replacing worn or lost screws in repair projects.
Assembly and Preparation
To work with M2 studs comfortably and without risking damage to the threads, we recommend using a suitable chuck or tightening tool for the M2 format. Installation is straightforward: one end is screwed into the base part, and the other remains free to receive the nut for securing the component to be mounted. When working with plastic, it is advisable not to over-tighten to avoid crushing the receiving thread.
Frequently Asked Questions
Are these studs fully or partially threaded?
The available information indicates that these are standard M2x5 studs from Tectime. To know the exact detail of the thread type, we recommend consulting with our team before ordering if your application requires a specific specification.
What material are they made of?
Tectime does not specify the material in reference TT088. In screws of this format for slot and modelling, the usual material is steel, but if the material is critical for your project, please consult us.
Can they be used in any slot car?
Being standard M2 metric, they are compatible with any application that uses this thread: Scaleauto, Slot.it, NSR, Avant Slot, or any other system that works with this size.
Can I order more than one pack to keep in stock?
Of course. Having spare screws in the workshop is a common practice among preparers: they are easily lost or damaged, and it is advisable not to run out at the least opportune moment.
