- Standard Flanged Design — The flanged nut design features a built-in washer face that distributes pressure evenly across the wheel hub, reducing the risk of damage and improving the security of the wheel attachment.
- Silver Finish — The polished silver colour coating provides an attractive appearance while protecting the metal from corrosion and extending the lifespan of the nuts in various weather conditions.

Technical Performance
The HoBao Pirate 1/8th Wheel Nuts are precision-engineered fastening components manufactured to OEM standards. At 17mm diameter, they are dimensionally matched to HoBao 1/8th scale vehicle wheel hubs and axle shafts, ensuring interference-free installation and perfect load distribution. The standard flanged design incorporates a washer face that prevents the nuts from cutting into or damaging the wheel mounting surface, a critical feature for maintaining the structural integrity of lightweight plastic and aluminium hub components found on modern RC vehicles. The silver finish applied to these nuts provides corrosion resistance, which is particularly important for RC cars that are regularly exposed to wet grass, water crossings, and moisture from outdoor environments. Whether you drive your HoBao on tarmac circuits, dirt tracks, or trail courses, these wheel nuts will maintain their grip and appearance over extended periods of use. The nuts are designed to be tightened securely without stripping the threads, providing reliable wheel retention even during the intense vibrations and forces generated by high-performance 1/8th scale RC driving.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Are these genuine HoBao wheel nuts or aftermarket parts? — These are genuine OEM HoBao components, manufactured to the exact specifications required for HoBao 1/8th scale vehicles. Using authentic HoBao parts ensures perfect compatibility and reliability compared to generic aftermarket alternatives.
- What HoBao models are these wheel nuts compatible with? — These nuts are compatible with the HoBao Hyper Cage Truggy Electric (HBCTEB), HoBao Hyper GT 1/8th Electric Rally Car rolling chassis (HBGTSE), HoBao Hyper GT 1/8th Electric Brushless RTR Rally Car in grey (HBGTSE-C100DG), HoBao Hyper GT 1/8th Scale .28 Nitro RTR Rally Car in grey (HBGTS-C28DG), and HoBao Hyper GT 1/8th Scale .28 Nitro RTR Rally Car in blue (HBGTS-C28B). Check your specific model against this list to confirm compatibility.
- Why do I need to replace my wheel nuts? — Wheel nuts can become stripped, damaged, or corroded through regular use and exposure to outdoor conditions. Stripped nuts will not hold wheels securely, creating a safety hazard and potentially causing wheel detachment during driving. Having spare wheel nuts in your spares box ensures you can quickly repair your RC car and get back to driving without delays.
- Will these wheel nuts fit other RC car brands? — These wheel nuts are specifically designed for HoBao 1/8th scale vehicles with 17mm wheel hubs. While some other brands may use the same 17mm specification, it is essential to verify compatibility with your specific model before purchasing. Using the correct OEM parts ensures optimal performance and fitment.
- How many wheel nuts do I need? — Each HoBao 1/8th scale vehicle requires four wheel nuts (one per wheel). This pack contains exactly four nuts, providing a complete set for one vehicle. If you need spare nuts for your spares box or are servicing multiple vehicles, you may wish to order additional packs.
- What is a flanged nut and why does it matter? — A flanged nut features an integrated washer face rather than requiring a separate washer. This design distributes clamping force more evenly across the wheel hub surface, reducing the risk of damage to plastic hub components and improving the security of wheel attachment under high-speed and high-stress conditions.
