Whether you're a weekend basher enjoying recreational RC car fun or a competitive racer preparing your vehicle for the next event, having genuine HoBao spares on hand is the mark of a prepared enthusiast.

Key Features

• M3 Metric Thread Size — These screws use the standard M3 metric thread specification, which is widely compatible across HoBao RC models and many other RC vehicles, ensuring you can use them throughout your RC collection and not just on a single model.
• 5mm Screw Length — The 5mm length is precisely engineered to match OEM HoBao specifications, providing the correct clamping force and preventing over-tightening or under-tightening that could compromise structural integrity during high-speed runs.
• Countersunk Head Design — The countersunk profile means the screw head sits completely flush with the mounting surface, which is essential for aerodynamic efficiency on RC cars and prevents the screw head from catching on obstacles or terrain during off-road bashings.
• Hex Socket Drive — Instead of a Phillips or flat-head slot, these screws feature a hex socket that accepts a standard hex key, making tightening and loosening much quicker and reducing the risk of stripping the drive if you're working quickly during pit maintenance at a race meeting.
• Genuine HoBao Component — As OEM HoBao parts, these screws are manufactured to exact specifications and paired perfectly with HoBao RC vehicles, ensuring perfect fitment and reliable performance across multiple uses and seasons.

Technical Performance

The HoBao M3X5mm Hex Socket Countersunk Screws represent quality engineering in fastener design. The M3 metric thread is a popular standard in RC vehicle construction, offering an ideal balance between holding power and ease of use without requiring excessive torque that could strip plastic threaded inserts common in RC chassis. The 5mm length has been precisely calculated by HoBao engineers to provide proper engagement through mounting plates whilst maintaining the correct stack-up with chassis components, suspension mounts, and body work. The countersunk head profile is critical for RC applications, as it eliminates any protrusion above the surface that could catch air during high-speed runs, affect aerodynamics, or snag on course obstacles during technical RC crawler or buggy racing. The hex socket drive provides superior engagement compared to Phillips or slot drives, reducing cam-out and stripping risk when you're performing rapid maintenance or repairs. Built to genuine HoBao standards, these fasteners are manufactured from appropriate materials to resist vibration loosening during the intense G-forces and impacts that RC vehicles experience during bashings, jumps, and cornering at track speeds.
