3Racing M4WD-18/RE red M2 x 5 socket button screw for Mini 4WD use

This M2 x 5 socket button screw in red is a spare fastener intended for Mini 4WD hobbyists who service or restore Tamiya Mini 4WD models. The piece is sized and styled to match common Tamiya mounting points on 1/32 Mini 4WD bodies and components. The editorial focus here is on fit, finish, and practical considerations when replacing small fasteners in assembly or display builds.

Experienced builders will note the benefits of consistent head profile and color-matching when maintaining a display model or tidying up a used chassis. The red head can be used for visual coding of mounting points or to replace worn original screws without altering underlying mounting geometry.

Compatibility-wise, the screw is intended for standard M2 threaded inserts and tapped holes found on many Tamiya Mini 4WD parts. Installation requires the usual M2 socket driver; avoid over-tightening and use thread engagement checks appropriate to plastic or metal inserts. For collectors, the consistent finish and head shape preserve the appearance of a model while replacing fatigued hardware.
