Overview
The ARRMA Screw Hinge Pin 3.5x26.6mm (4) is an essential replacement component for ARRMA RC models, specifically engineered to maintain the structural integrity and performance of your RC car UK. These precision-manufactured hinge pins are critical fasteners used in the suspension and chassis assembly of ARRMA vehicles, ensuring smooth articulation and reliable durability during high-performance driving. Whether you are a seasoned RC enthusiast, a competitive racer, or someone just discovering the world of remote control cars, having quality replacement hinge pins on hand is crucial for keeping your model running at its best.
This pack contains four individual screw hinge pins, each measuring 3.5x26.6mm, making them compatible with specific ARRMA models including the 1/16 Mini Kraton 3S range. These components are designed to the exact specifications required by ARRMA, ensuring perfect fitment and alignment within your RC model's suspension geometry. The hinge pins serve as the pivot point for suspension components, directly influencing handling characteristics, suspension travel, and overall chassis stability during acceleration, braking, and cornering. Proper maintenance and timely replacement of worn hinge pins is essential for maintaining the performance and longevity of your RC vehicle.
RC car UK enthusiasts and hobbyists rely on genuine ARRMA replacement parts to maintain factory specifications and performance standards. When suspension components like hinge pins become worn or damaged through regular use, replacing them promptly prevents further damage to adjoining parts and ensures your RC model continues to deliver the responsive handling and durability you expect. The ARRMA Screw Hinge Pin 3.5x26.6mm is a small but vital component that plays a significant role in your model's overall performance envelope.

- Specific Sizing: 3.5x26.6mm — The exact dimensional specification of these hinge pins makes them compatible with ARRMA 1/16 Mini Kraton 3S models, providing correct fitment and suspension geometry.
- Genuine ARRMA Component — As an official ARRMA part, these hinge pins are manufactured to the same quality standards as your original equipment, ensuring consistent performance and reliability.
- Essential Replacement Part — Hinge pins are wear items that experience stress during regular RC car use; having quality replacements ensures your suspension continues to function optimally.

Technical Performance
The ARRMA Screw Hinge Pin 3.5x26.6mm represents precision engineering at the component level. With dimensions of 3.5 millimetres in diameter and 26.6 millimetres in length, these hinge pins are engineered to provide the exact pivot point geometry required by ARRMA's suspension design. The screw-style design allows for secure installation within the suspension brackets and arms of compatible ARRMA models. In RC vehicle design, hinge pins are fundamental to suspension performance; they allow controlled movement of suspension components while maintaining precise alignment and geometry. The quality of these pins directly impacts suspension responsiveness, handling precision, and the longevity of adjoining suspension components. When hinge pins wear or become damaged, suspension geometry shifts, leading to unpredictable handling characteristics and accelerated wear of other suspension parts. By replacing worn hinge pins with genuine ARRMA components, you maintain the factory-specified suspension geometry and ensure consistent, predictable handling performance. The 3.5x26.6mm specification is specifically engineered for the ARRMA 1/16 Mini Kraton 3S and related models, making it the correct choice for owners of these vehicles seeking to maintain peak performance standards.
