Overview
The ARRMA Screw Hinge Pin 3x37.5mm (2) Z-AR330018 is an essential spare part for RC car enthusiasts and serious bashers who demand reliability and precision engineering. Whether you're a weekend hobbyist enjoying RC car fun in the UK or a competitive racer pushing your vehicle to its limits, having quality replacement parts on hand is crucial for keeping your RC model in peak condition. These hinge pins are specifically designed to fit ARRMA RC vehicles, ensuring perfect compatibility and performance when you need them most.
Hinge pins are critical components in the suspension system of RC cars, serving as the pivot points that allow your suspension to articulate smoothly. When these pins wear out or become damaged through intensive use, your RC car's handling and suspension geometry can be compromised, leading to poor performance and potential damage to other components. The ARRMA Screw Hinge Pin 3x37.5mm provides a direct replacement that restores your RC vehicle to factory specifications, ensuring your brushless RC car or electric RC truck performs exactly as intended.
At RC Model Shop, we stock genuine ARRMA spare parts because we understand that quality replacement components are essential for maintaining your RC hobby investment. Whether you're restoring an older model or maintaining a current-generation ARRMA RC vehicle, these hinge pins are an affordable way to keep your equipment in top working order. Having a spare set on hand means less downtime and more time enjoying your RC car on the track, trail, or backyard.

Technical Performance
The ARRMA Screw Hinge Pin 3x37.5mm is engineered to exacting standards that ensure reliable performance in your RC vehicle's suspension system. With a diameter of 3mm and length of 37.5mm, these hinge pins provide the precise pivot point needed for smooth suspension articulation in ARRMA RC cars. The screw-style design allows for secure installation while remaining easy to remove when maintenance or replacement is needed. Whether you run your RC car on smooth track surfaces, rough terrain, or bash through challenging outdoor environments, these hinge pins will provide the durability needed for consistent performance. The quality of materials used in their construction ensures they can withstand the forces generated during acceleration, braking, cornering, and jumps. When your suspension hinge pins begin to show wear — manifesting as sloppy handling or uneven suspension response — installing fresh pins will immediately restore your RC car's handling characteristics. These components are essential for anyone who uses their brushless RC car or electric RC truck regularly, as they maintain the precise geometry required for optimal suspension performance and chassis stability.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What is a hinge pin and why does my RC car need one? — A hinge pin is a small cylindrical component that serves as the pivot point for your RC car's suspension system, allowing the suspension arms to articulate up and down as your vehicle drives over bumps and terrain. Without properly functioning hinge pins, your suspension cannot move freely, which severely compromises handling and can damage other suspension components. When hinge pins wear out, they develop play that causes loose, unpredictable handling.
- How often do I need to replace hinge pins on my ARRMA RC car? — The frequency of hinge pin replacement depends on how intensively you use your RC vehicle. Heavy bashers and racers who use their RC cars multiple times per week may need to replace hinge pins every few months, while casual users might go longer between replacements. Signs that your hinge pins need replacement include loose steering response, uneven suspension feel, or visible wear on the pins themselves.
- Are these hinge pins compatible with all ARRMA RC vehicles? — These 3x37.5mm hinge pins are specifically designed for ARRMA RC cars that use this size specification. We recommend checking your vehicle's manual or contacting our team to confirm these are the correct size for your particular ARRMA model before purchasing.
- Can I install these hinge pins myself? — Yes, hinge pin replacement is a straightforward maintenance task that most RC enthusiasts can perform themselves using basic tools. Simply remove the worn hinge pins from your suspension arms and insert the new ones, ensuring they are fully seated. This is one of the most accessible maintenance tasks you can perform on your RC vehicle.
- Do these come as a single pin or multiple pins? — This pack contains two hinge pins, giving you one replacement pin and one spare, which is ideal for keeping your RC car running while having a backup ready for future use.
