M4WD-18/BK black M2 socket button screw for Tamiya Mini 4WD

This M2 x 5 socket button screw is supplied as a simple replacement fastener for Tamiya Mini 4WD assemblies. It suits locations where an M2 button-head fastener is specified, such as securing body mounts, small chassis brackets, or accessory fittings. The black finish helps blend with darker parts and reduces the visibility of exposed metal heads.

For experienced builders: confirm the M2 thread and 5 mm length match the target post or nut before fitting. The rounded button profile sits higher than countersunk heads and is normally driven with the appropriately sized hex/Allen key. Ensure head clearance is adequate and check thread engagement to avoid stressing thin plastic.

Will this fit standard Mini 4WD posts and nuts?

The screw is an M2 x 5 item, so fit depends on the existing post or nut threading. Measure the threaded hole or nut and allow for the 5 mm shank before installing.

Which driver should I use for the M2 button head?

Use a small hex or Allen key sized for M2 socket screws to avoid rounding the head. A good fit prevents cam-out and protects the finish.

Is it suitable for painted or thin plastic panels?

Take care with painted or thin plastic parts: pre-drill clearance holes where appropriate and consider using a captive nut or washer to spread load and prevent cracking.

Does the black finish change corrosion protection?

The listing specifies a black finish as the visible trait; specific coating or corrosion data is not provided. If moisture exposure is expected, inspect and maintain fasteners regularly.

Are these screws used for body mounts or chassis fittings?

Socket button M2 x 5 fasteners are commonly used for small fixings like body mounts, bumper brackets, and accessory attachments. Verify head clearance and length at the mounting point.

Any tips when replacing original screws?

Match thread pitch and length, check for head clearance, and tighten carefully. For tapped plastic holes use light threadlocker or add a small washer to reduce stress when possible.
