Overview
The ARRMA Hingepins 3x47mm (4) Z-ARA-2706 are essential replacement spare parts for RC enthusiasts maintaining their ARRMA 1/16 scale models. These high-quality hinge pins are precision-engineered components that form a critical part of the suspension and steering linkage system in your RC car.

The ARRMA hingepins are manufactured to exacting standards and are specifically designed to fit seamlessly with ARRMA 1/16 Mini Kraton 3S models. These small but vital components experience significant stress during aggressive driving, jumps and high-speed cornering, making them wear items that every serious RC car owner should keep in their spares box. With four hingepins included in this pack, you'll have sufficient replacements to cover multiple maintenance sessions or repairs.

Technical Performance
ARRMA hingepins represent precision engineering at the component level, with these 3x47mm pins serving as critical connection points in the suspension and steering linkage systems of 1/16 scale RC cars. The 3mm diameter provides optimal strength-to-weight ratio whilst the 47mm length ensures proper engagement with both upper and lower suspension arms and steering components. These pins experience considerable lateral and rotational forces during cornering, acceleration and landing from jumps, which is why they are designed with material properties that resist deformation under stress. The precise manufacturing tolerances ensure smooth operation without binding or excessive play, maintaining the responsive handling characteristics your ARRMA Mini Kraton 3S is known for. Regular inspection and replacement of hingepins is part of proper RC car maintenance, particularly if you engage in aggressive driving or frequent jumping and aerial manoeuvres that place additional strain on suspension components.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Are these hingepins compatible with my ARRMA 1/16 Mini Kraton 3S? — Yes, these Z-ARA-2706 hingepins are specifically engineered for ARRMA 1/16 Mini Kraton 3S models. They are confirmed compatible with the blue (C-ARA2508ST1), red (C-ARA2508T1) and teal (C-ARA2508ST2) variants of the Mini Kraton 3S.
- How often should I replace my RC car hingepins? — The frequency depends on your driving style and conditions. Aggressive bashing, frequent jumping and hard cornering will wear hingepins faster than casual driving. Inspect them regularly for signs of wear, bending or damage, and replace them whenever you notice reduced suspension responsiveness or excessive play in your linkages.
- Why buy genuine ARRMA spares instead of cheaper alternatives? — Genuine ARRMA components are manufactured to precise specifications that guarantee perfect fitment, alignment and durability with your RC car. Cheaper aftermarket alternatives may have tolerance issues that create play in suspension components, reducing handling precision and potentially causing premature failure of other parts. Investing in authentic spares ensures your ARRMA model performs at its best.
- What is the difference between 3x47mm hingepins and other sizes? — The dimensions directly relate to the specific suspension architecture of your model. The 3x47mm size is engineered for the ARRMA 1/16 Mini Kraton 3S, with the 3mm diameter providing the right strength and the 47mm length ensuring proper engagement with suspension arm mounting points. Using incorrect sizes will result in poor fitment and potentially damage your RC car.
- Can I use these hingepins as preventative maintenance spares? — Absolutely. Many serious RC enthusiasts keep spare hingepins, pivot balls and other common wear items on hand to minimise downtime. Having four hingepins available means you can replace worn components immediately during maintenance rather than waiting for parts to arrive.
