Nylon Screw M2 16mm Countersunk (10 units)

The T800 M2 x 16mm nylon countersunk screws take flush fastening to the next level in your 1/32 builds.

When detail matters and every tenth of a gram counts, the technical nylon hardware from T800 makes a difference. This pack of 10 units (reference T839004) includes everything needed for clean, flat, and flush fastenings in the most demanding areas of the vehicle.

Function and performance

The conical countersunk head allows the screw to sit completely in machined holes, leaving the surface entirely flush. This eliminates mechanical interference with the track, improves the aerodynamics of exposed parts, and provides a visually clean finish both in competition and workshop preparations.

The technical nylon used offers three direct advantages over steel in certain applications:

• Weight reduction: helps to lower the unsprung mass where multiple fastening points accumulate.
• Vibration absorption: dampens the frequencies generated by the motor, protecting sensitive parts of the assembly.
• Electrical insulation: prevents leakage in metal chassis or areas close to the vehicle's electronics.

Compatibility and installation

With M2 metric and a length of 16mm, these screws fit standard fastening points on 1/32 scale chassis and bodies. The length allows them to be adapted to different material thicknesses: the nylon can be easily trimmed with a precision cutter or shears without damaging the thread, achieving the exact measurement required for each assembly.

They are particularly useful for:

• Securing lexan bodies onto chassis guides.
• Holding large rear or front wings.
• Anchor points on chassis plates where a flat surface is needed.
• Areas close to receivers or wiring where electrical insulation is a priority.

Common mistakes

The main mistake when using countersunk screws is not pre-machining the receiving hole with the correct angle: without a proper conical seat, the head protrudes and the benefit of a flush finish is lost. Ensure you use a countersink drill bit of the appropriate angle before installing these screws. On the other hand, although nylon is durable, it is advisable not to over-tighten with powered tools to avoid deforming the head; a hand screwdriver with a good fit is sufficient.

Frequently asked questions

How many screws are included in the pack?

The pack contains 10 units of M2 x 16mm nylon screws with a countersunk head.

Can they be cut to size if 16mm is too long for my build?

Yes. The technical nylon allows for a clean cut with a precision cutter or shears without damaging the thread, so you can adjust the length to the exact measurement you need.

Are they suitable for metal chassis with nearby electronics?

Yes. Being made of nylon, they act as electrical insulators, making them a good choice for fastening points near receivers, wiring, or any electronic component of the vehicle.

What is the difference between using nylon screws and steel screws in 1/32 slot racing?

Steel offers greater mechanical strength, but nylon provides lower weight, vibration absorption, and electrical insulation. In fastening points for bodies or wings where the rigidity of steel is not required, nylon is often the preferred choice in competition preparations aimed at reducing mass.

Are they compatible with standard M2 nuts?

Yes, the M2 metric is standard. They are compatible with M2 metal or nylon nuts of the same thread pitch commonly found in 1/32 slot racing spares.
