2x8 metric thread pivot screw x10

The screw that never fails when you need it most

In the world of 1/24 scale slot racing, the details of assembly make the difference between a well-adjusted car and one that loses performance on the track. This pack of 10 2x8 metric thread pivot screws from Avant Slot is designed for those who pay attention to every fastening point of their model with the same care as the rest of the preparation.

Function and features

The pivot screw is an articulated fastening element that allows a certain degree of movement or tilt at the joint point, without losing grip. This makes it especially useful in assemblies where small misalignments need to be absorbed or where the joined component must be able to oscillate slightly during the operation of the car.

Compatibility and applications

This spare part is catalogued within the family of screws and nuts from Avant Slot for 1/24 scale. If you are preparing, repairing, or customizing a chassis or mechanical assembly that requires this type of fastening, having spare units in the workshop drawer is a common practice among the most methodical preparers.

Assembly and preparation

As it is a metric thread, it is important to use the appropriate tool to avoid damaging the head of the screw during tightening. A moderate tightening torque is sufficient for most applications in 1/24 scale; over-tightening can compromise both the screw and the receiving part. If the assembly is done on plastic, it is advisable to check beforehand that the size of the housing is compatible with the M2 thread.

Common mistakes

• Confusing metric thread with inch thread: ensure that the receiving housing is metric before forcing the screw.
• Using the wrong size screwdriver, which can damage the head and hinder future interventions.
• Not replenishing stock in time: having a pack of 10 units in the workshop prevents halting a preparation due to a missing screw.

Frequently asked questions

What does it mean for the screw to be "pivoting"?

A pivot screw incorporates a design that allows for slight articulation or angular movement at the fastening point, which is useful when the joined component needs some freedom of oscillation without losing structural grip.

How many units are included in the pack?

The pack contains 10 units of the 2x8 metric thread pivot screw.

What scale is this screw intended for?

It is catalogued by Avant Slot as a spare part for 1/24 scale.

What tool do I need to install it?

As it is an M2 metric thread, you will need a screwdriver or wrench of the appropriate size for M2 head. Check the specification of the screw to confirm the exact type of head.

Is it compatible with other 1/24 scale chassis that are not Avant Slot?

Compatibility depends on the specific design of the receiving chassis. As it is a standard M2 metric thread, it may be compatible with other assemblies that use the same thread pitch, but we recommend verifying it before use.
