Small detail, big difference: the Supremex SRC2 screws that keep everything in place
When working with chassis, bodies, or any plastic component in the world of slot and modelling, the quality of the screw makes the difference between a solid assembly and one that gives way at the worst moment. The Supremex SRC2 Screw x 10 (ref. SRCRM1017) meets this need exactly: a screw designed to thread into plastic with a star head, in a pack of 10 units ready for the workshop.
Main features
- Contents: 10 screws per pack
- Dimensions: 2.1 x 13 mm
- Thread type: for plastic
- Head: star (Phillips)
Function and performance
The plastic thread of these screws is designed to bite firmly without cracking the material. This makes them particularly suitable for securing bodies, chassis covers, mounts, and any part where plastic is the anchoring substrate. The star head facilitates tightening with precision screwdrivers, which is essential when working in tight spaces and with delicate parts.
Assembly and preparation
To get the most out of them, it is advisable to perform the first threading with gentle and progressive pressure, allowing the screw to mark its own path in the plastic. If the pre-drilled hole is too loose, the screw will lose grip; if it is too tight, it may break the part. As a general reference for screws of this diameter, a pre-drill with a 1.5 mm bit usually yields good results in most common technical plastics used in slot and modelling.
Ideal for…
- Slot preparers who frequently make modifications to chassis and bodies.
- Static modelling enthusiasts who need clean and discreet fixings.
- Club workshops where the replenishment of small materials is constant.
- Any assembly on plastic where a secure and removable fastening is required.
Considerations
As these are screws for plastic, they are not recommended for threading into metal without prior adaptation. The pack of 10 units provides enough spares for several assemblies or revisions without the need to purchase large quantities.
Frequently asked questions
Are they compatible with any type of plastic?
They are designed for common technical plastics used in slot chassis and bodies. For very soft or very rigid and fragile plastics, it is advisable to always conduct a preliminary test in a non-visible area.
How many screws are included in the pack?
The SRCRM1017 pack includes 10 Supremex SRC2 screws measuring 2.1 x 13 mm.
What screwdriver do I need for these screws?
The head is of the star (Phillips) type, so any PH0 or PH00 precision screwdriver should fit correctly given the size of the screw.
Can they be reused after repeated disassemblies?
In plastic, the thread generated by the screw may deteriorate after several cycles of assembly and disassembly. It is recommended to replace them if a loss of grip is noticed to ensure fastening.
