Key Features

• M3 Thread Size — The M3 metric thread specification ensures these screws are compatible with the threaded inserts found on HoBao RC vehicles, providing precise fitment without wobbling or loose connections that could compromise your RC car's performance during high-speed runs or competitive racing.
• 8mm Length — The 8mm length is engineered to penetrate deep enough into HoBao chassis components and body panels to create a strong, secure hold without protruding excessively or requiring modification to your RC car's structure.
• Hex Socket Head Design — The hex socket head allows you to use a standard hex key (Allen key) for installation and removal, providing better torque control and reducing the risk of stripping the screw head compared to Phillips head or slot-head alternatives, which is particularly important when working with lightweight RC components.
• Countersunk Profile — The countersunk design means the screw head sits flush with the surface of your RC car's body panel or chassis component, creating a clean, professional appearance and ensuring no protruding fasteners that could catch on obstacles or damage your vehicle's aerodynamic profile during high-speed runs.
• Genuine HoBao Component — As an official HoBao spare part manufactured under strict quality control standards, you can be confident these screws meet the exact specifications and tolerances required for reliable performance in your RC model, giving you peace of mind that you're using authentic components rather than inferior aftermarket alternatives.
• Affordable Spare Pack — Whether you need just one replacement screw or keep extras in your RC tool kit for regular maintenance, these screws are competitively priced, making it economical to maintain a stock of spares for those moments when fasteners need replacement or upgrade.

Technical Performance

The HoBao M3X8mm Hex Socket Countersunk Screws are manufactured from high-grade steel, engineered to withstand the demanding environment of RC car ownership. The hex socket head design provides superior grip compared to Phillips or slot head alternatives, reducing the likelihood of damage during installation and removal — a critical consideration when working with precision RC components. The M3 metric thread is a standard specification across many HoBao RC vehicles, making these screws essential for owners of HoBao buggies, truggy trucks, monster trucks, and other models in the HoBao range. The 8mm length is specifically engineered to provide adequate penetration into chassis components and body panel inserts without creating stress concentrations or weak points in the aluminium or plastic components found on modern RC cars. The countersunk profile means the screw head will seat flush with the mounting surface, which is particularly important for maintaining the structural integrity of body panels and ensuring that no fasteners create drag or interfere with moving components during operation. These screws are ideal for RC hobbyists who perform regular maintenance, those building custom RC cars from kits, or competitors who need reliable fasteners for race preparation and setup changes. Having genuine HoBao spare parts in your RC toolkit ensures you can confidently tackle any maintenance task knowing you're using components engineered specifically for your vehicle.
