Philips screws 8 x 2 mm

The right screw makes a difference in every slot assembly

When working on the setup or assembly of a slot car, the small details matter more than they seem. A screw with incorrect dimensions, made of unsuitable material, or with a head that does not fit well can ruin hours of preparation. That’s why Thunderslot includes these 8 x 2 mm Phillips screws in stainless steel in its spare parts catalogue, designed to fit precisely in their chassis and bodies.

Function and performance

The stainless steel ensures resistance to corrosion and durability over time, which is especially relevant when the screw is exposed to lubricants, cleaners, and the usual conditions of the preparation workshop. The Phillips head allows for controlled tightening with a standard or watchmaker screwdriver, depending on the required torque.

Compatibility and assembly

This screw is designed for use in Thunderslot models and chassis. If you have doubts about whether this reference is suitable for your specific model, consult the official Thunderslot parts diagram or contact us before placing your order.

Common mistakes when working with slot chassis screws

• Using screws with slightly different dimensions stresses the plastic of the chassis and can cause breakage.
• Over-tightening a steel screw on plastic or resin parts can damage the thread. Tighten firmly, but do not overdo it.
• Confusing the metric or thread pitch means the screw will not grip properly: always check the specifications before replacing.

Frequently asked questions

How many units are included in the order?

The available information does not specify the number of units per order. We recommend checking directly with our team before making the purchase to ensure you meet your needs.

Are they compatible with other brands of slot chassis?

They are designed for Thunderslot models and chassis. Although the dimensions (8 x 2 mm) may match screws from other brands, we cannot guarantee compatibility with chassis from different manufacturers without prior confirmation.

What screwdriver do I need to assemble them?

As it has a Phillips head, you will need a cross-point screwdriver. Due to the size of the screw (2 mm in diameter), it is usually worked with precision screwdrivers like those used by watchmakers, of the appropriate size to avoid damaging the head.

Does stainless steel affect the weight of the car?

In screws of these dimensions, the weight difference compared to other materials is practically negligible. The main advantage of stainless steel is its durability and resistance to oxidation from contact with lubricants.
