Sloting Plus M2x4 Countersunk Phillips Screws: Small in Size, Essential in the Workshop

When working with chassis, bodies, or subcomponents of scale slot cars, precision screws make the difference between a clean assembly and one that loosens after a few running sessions. These M2x4 countersunk screws from Sloting Plus, made of stainless steel and featuring a Phillips head, are designed to meet that exact requirement.

Technical Features

• Material: stainless steel, resistant to corrosion and common solvents in the hobby.
• Metric and Length: M2 x 4 mm, a widely used size in chassis and small parts in 1/32 and 1/24 scale.
• Head: countersunk with a Phillips slot, allowing for secure tightening and a flush profile once fixed.
• Contents: bag of 20 units, ideal for keeping stock in the workshop without running short during preparation or repair sessions.

Function and Performance

The countersunk head is particularly useful when the screw needs to be flush with the surface, avoiding protrusions that could interfere with the movement of adjacent parts or the fitting of the body. The stainless steel ensures that the screw does not corrode or lose torque over time, even when in contact with lubricants or cleaning agents.

Compatibility and Assembly

The M2 metric is one of the most commonly used in slot preparation: it frequently appears in the fastening of motor mounts, guides, axle supports, and chassis elements in both plastic and aluminium or bronze. For assembly, it is recommended to use a Phillips screwdriver of the appropriate size (PH000 or PH00 depending on the receiving material) and, if the application requires, a drop of low-strength threadlocker to prevent loosening due to vibration without compromising future disassembly.

Ideal for…

• Club preparers and mechanics who make frequent adjustments to their cars.
• Hobby workshops that need to have spare screws always available.
• Enthusiasts who assemble or modify chassis and prefer to use proven quality screws.

Frequently Asked Questions

What screwdriver is used to mount these screws?

As they have a Phillips head, a Phillips screwdriver is used. For the M2 metric, the usual sizes are PH000 or PH00 depending on the depth of the imprint. Using the correct size is important to avoid damaging the screw head.

Are they compatible with threaded aluminium or bronze inserts?

Yes, the M2 metric is standard and fits any machined or inserted M2 thread, whether in aluminium, bronze, plastic with an insert, or directly in high-density plastic.

Why choose stainless steel screws over carbon steel ones?

Stainless steel does not corrode when in contact with lubricants, solvents, or environmental moisture, which prolongs the screw's lifespan and facilitates its removal even after long periods without disassembly. In small metric screws, where the torque is limited, preventing corrosion is particularly relevant.

How many screws are in the bag?

Each bag contains 20 units, sufficient for several assemblies or to maintain a workshop stock without the need for frequent orders.

Can threadlocker be used with these screws?

Yes. Low-strength threadlocker (blue) is recommended when the application is subject to continuous vibration, such as in motor mounts. High-strength threadlocker is not advisable if regular disassembly of the part is anticipated.
