M2x13mm Brass Screws with Large Head: The Detail That Makes a Difference in the Workshop

When working on the assembly or preparation of a slot car, small components are just as important as large ones. The M2x13mm brass screws with large head from Slot.it (reference SICH126) meet this need exactly: precise fastening, suitable material, and a larger diameter head that facilitates tightening and distributes the load better across the chassis parts.

Why Brass and Not Steel?

Brass is a highly valued material in precision screws used in modelling and slot racing. Its controlled density, corrosion resistance, and machinability make it ideal for components that need to be adjusted without damaging threads in technical plastic or zinc alloy parts. Additionally, as it does not magnetise, it does not interfere with sensors or the electrical systems of the car.

The Large Head: What Is It For?

The larger diameter head distributes the tightening pressure over a wider surface, reducing the risk of sinking or deforming the part being secured. It is especially useful when working on plastic chassis, bodies, or components with thin walls where a standard head screw could exert too much point pressure.

Assembly and Preparation

To achieve the best results with these screws, it is recommended to use a screwdriver with a tip suitable for the type of head and to apply moderate tightening without forcing the thread. In competition preparations, some enthusiasts add a drop of low-strength thread locker to prevent vibrations on track from loosening the screws during the session, while always maintaining the possibility of easily disassembling them.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are they compatible with chassis other than Slot.it?

As they are standard M2 metric screws, they can be used in any application that requires this metric, regardless of the brand of the chassis or component. Compatibility depends on the threaded hole being M2 and the 13 mm length being suitable for the part in question.

What type of screwdriver do I need?

It depends on the type of head (slotted, Phillips, Torx…). Slot.it typically uses slotted or Phillips heads in its screws. Check the reference or the official catalogue to confirm the exact drive type of this specific model.

Can I reuse them multiple times?

Yes, brass withstands the cycles of assembly and disassembly well as long as the appropriate tool is used and the thread is not forced. If thread locker is used, it is advisable to remove any residue before reassembling.

Why buy a pack of 10 units?

In the preparation and maintenance of slot cars, small screws are easily lost or damaged. Having a pack of 10 units ensures that you always have spares on hand without needing to stop work due to the lack of such a basic component.
