This is a set of 2.3x6x5mm pan head self-tapping screws designed for RC chassis assemblies where a standard 2.3x6mm screw is modified with a stepped or reduced engagement profile (“x5” section) for specific molded plastic mounting geometries. These screws are typically used in compact or recessed locations such as chassis braces, suspension components, steering mounts, or gearbox housings where precise depth control is required. The self-tapping design allows them to cut directly into molded plastic without requiring threaded inserts, making them suitable for repairs and maintenance. The reduced 5mm engagement portion helps prevent bottoming out in shallow cavities while still maintaining secure fastening strength. They are a specialized variation within the IMEX 2.3mm hardware system and are used only in certain factory-designed mounting points.
