Lightweight 7075 Aluminium Screws for Hobby Rigs

For workshop builds or field repairs the Arrowmax AM-14RH3008-S Aluminium Screw Allen Roundhead M3x8 Silver (7075) set makes a sensible choice. Made from 7075 aluminium, these fasteners keep weight down while delivering solid mechanical strength for common RC applications.

Application Notes for RC Use

The M3x8 dimensions fit a wide range of RC parts, offering a snug fastening without undue mass. The roundhead shape gives a low profile finish that helps avoid catching on wiring or moving parts during operation. They are useful for both assembling kits and swapping out worn hardware.

Material Advantages

7075 aluminium is prized in hobby use for its high tensile properties relative to weight, helping improve handling and balance in sensitive models. The silver finish resists corrosion and keeps components looking tidy after repeated use.

Yes, but check that thread engagement is sufficient. In softer materials you may need an insert or to use a backing plate to avoid pull-through.
They can replace steel where lower weight is wanted, though aluminium is generally softer so avoid over-torquing and inspect for wear in high-stress joints.
Periodically check for loosening and corrosion. Clean contact surfaces and use a suitable thread compound if vibration is an issue. Replace any damaged screws promptly.
