This M2 x 10 socket button screw in red is an aftermarket fastener intended for routine replacement and maintenance on Tamiya Mini 4WD assemblies. The piece is presented here from the viewpoint of an experienced hobbyist: fit considerations, finish, and handling during reassembly are the main practical points.
Compatibility is broadly with Tamiya Mini 4WD components that accept M2 hardware. The red finish is primarily cosmetic; it also helps identify replacement fasteners during multi-part builds. In repair or refurbishment situations, matching head type and thread size matters more than color, so confirm clearance around body mounts and brackets before use.
When reinstalling, use appropriate drivers to avoid rounding the socket head. If reusing removed fasteners, check thread integrity and avoid over-torquing thin sheet-metal threaded inserts. For collectors preserving original assemblies, retaining a small number of OEM-equivalent fasteners for display models is a common practice.
