Overview
The HoBao M3X35mm Hex Socket Button Head Screws H33335 are essential replacement fasteners for serious RC enthusiasts and competitive racers in the UK who demand precision engineering and reliability. These high-quality socket head cap screws are specifically designed for HoBao RC vehicles, particularly the Hyper 10SC 2.0 Electric Truck range, making them the perfect choice for maintaining, upgrading or repairing your ready to run RC car. Whether you're a weekend basher tackling rough terrain or a dedicated racer fine-tuning your setup, having the correct OEM specification fasteners on hand ensures your RC vehicle performs at its peak and remains in race-ready condition.
HoBao is recognised globally for manufacturing precision RC components that withstand the demands of competitive short course truck racing and high-speed bashing. The M3X35mm specification represents a critical fastening solution for multiple assembly points on the Hyper 10SC 2.0 platform, and using genuine manufacturer parts guarantees perfect fitment and optimal performance. These hex socket button head screws are manufactured to exacting tolerances, ensuring that every screw delivers consistent performance across multiple installations and withstands the vibration, stress and extreme forces generated by electric RC vehicles operating at full throttle.
UK-based RC hobbyists will appreciate the genuine OEM quality of these fasteners, which represent exceptional value for money and eliminate the frustration of using inferior aftermarket alternatives that may strip, seize or fail during critical racing moments. Stock these screws in your spare parts collection and ensure you're always prepared for maintenance, repairs or performance modifications to your HoBao electric truck.
Key Features
- M3 Thread Specification — The M3 metric thread size is the standard fastening specification for HoBao RC vehicles and critical assembly points on the Hyper 10SC 2.0 Electric Truck, ensuring perfect compatibility and secure fastening without modification or substitution.
- 35mm Length — The 35mm length specification has been engineered specifically for HoBao suspension, drivetrain and chassis components, allowing fasteners to pass completely through mounting holes whilst providing adequate thread engagement for robust mechanical connection.
- Hex Socket Button Head Design — The button head profile combined with internal hex socket (Allen key) drive provides a secure grip and prevents fastener rotation during installation, whilst the compact button head design offers excellent ground clearance and doesn't protrude above surrounding components.
- Genuine OEM HoBao Manufacturing — These are authentic factory-specification fasteners manufactured by HoBao, guaranteeing materials, hardness and dimensional accuracy that matches the original equipment specifications, eliminating compatibility issues common with generic alternatives.
- High-Quality Steel Construction — The screws are manufactured from hardened steel that resists corrosion, vibration loosening and mechanical failure, even under the extreme forces and repeated stress cycles generated by high-performance electric RC vehicles.
- Compatible with Hyper 10SC 2.0 Range — These fasteners are specifically designed for installation on multiple HoBao Hyper 10SC 2.0 Electric Truck variants, including the ARR clear body model and the various RTR body colour options in blue, grey, orange and black combinations.
Technical Performance
The HoBao M3X35mm Hex Socket Button Head Screws represent precision fastening engineering at its finest, manufactured to DIN 912 international specifications that guarantee consistent quality and performance. The M3 metric thread designation indicates a 3mm nominal diameter with a standard metric thread pitch, whilst the 35mm overall length provides adequate shank for penetration through multi-layer chassis assemblies, suspension brackets and drivetrain components typical of modern RC short course truck platforms. The hex socket button head design features an internal Allen key socket (typically 2.5mm across flats for M3 fasteners) that provides superior torque transfer compared to Phillips or slot-drive alternatives, reducing the risk of socket slippage, cam-out and fastener damage during installation or removal. The button head profile—characterised by a smooth, rounded top that sits flush or slightly above the surface—delivers excellent ground clearance and minimises snagging on surrounding components during assembly or disassembly. These fasteners are engineered from high-grade hardened steel offering superior tensile strength and resistance to vibration-induced loosening, a critical consideration for RC vehicles where suspension movement, motor torque and lateral G-forces generate continuous mechanical stress at fastener interfaces. The material composition and heat treatment process ensure these screws maintain their integrity through countless assembly cycles, temperature fluctuations and the wet, dusty conditions typical of UK RC racing venues and outdoor bashing locations. Each fastener is manufactured to exacting dimensional tolerances, guaranteeing that thread engagement depth is consistent, fastener head dimensions match existing hole patterns, and installation torque requirements remain predictable and uniform across the fastener set.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What is the difference between M3X35mm socket head cap screws and other fastener types used in RC cars? — Socket head cap screws like the HoBao M3X35mm specification offer superior performance compared to Phillips head or slotted fasteners because the internal hex socket provides significantly greater contact area and torque transfer capability, reducing the risk of fastener damage, socket slippage and cam-out. The button head profile is also lower-profile than traditional cap head designs, providing better ground clearance and preventing interference with suspension components or surrounding chassis geometry. These advantages make socket head cap screws the preferred choice for performance-oriented RC vehicles and competitive racing applications.
- Are these genuine OEM HoBao fasteners or aftermarket replacements? — These are genuine factory-specification fasteners manufactured by HoBao as original equipment parts, as confirmed by the official H33335 part number and packaging. Choosing genuine OEM fasteners guarantees that material composition, hardness, dimensional accuracy and manufacturing tolerances exactly match HoBao engineering specifications, eliminating compatibility issues, fit problems and performance inconsistencies that can result from generic or aftermarket alternatives.
- Can I use these fasteners on other RC vehicle brands or scales? — Whilst the M3X35mm specification is a standard metric fastening dimension used across numerous RC platforms and scales, these fasteners are optimised for HoBao vehicles, particularly the Hyper 10SC 2.0 Electric Truck range. Compatibility with other brands or models cannot be guaranteed without specific verification of hole patterns, thread specifications and length requirements. We recommend confirming compatibility with your vehicle's assembly manual or contacting our RC Model Shop experts for guidance before installation on non-HoBao vehicles.
- How many screws are included in this pack? — The exact quantity of fasteners included in the H33335 package is not specified in the available product documentation. We recommend contacting RC Model Shop directly or checking the packaging to confirm the quantity provided, as fastener packs typically contain multiple units suitable for several repair or maintenance tasks.
- What tools do I need to install these hex socket button head screws? — Installation requires an Allen key (hex key socket tool) in the appropriate size—typically 2.5mm across flats for M3 fasteners—which allows you to grip the internal socket and apply precise torque during installation. A small ruler or calliper can help verify correct seating depth. An adjustable torque wrench is recommended for critical applications to ensure fasteners are tightened to specification without over-tightening, which can strip threads or damage surrounding components.
- Are these fasteners waterproof or suitable for wet weather RC racing? — Whilst socket head cap screws themselves are not waterproof components, the hardened steel construction resists corrosion and oxidation in wet conditions far better than lower-grade fastening alternatives. For extended water exposure or salt water conditions, applying a thin coat of waterproof grease or thread-locking compound can further protect fasteners from corrosion. Regular inspection and maintenance of fasteners is recommended if your RC vehicle is regularly exposed to wet conditions typical of UK racing venues.
