When you're out racing your RC truck or buggy, the last thing you want is a loose fastener causing problems. Stock up on these quality HoBao machine thread screws today and ensure your RC car or RC buggy is always in perfect working order.

Key Features

• M3 Thread Size — These screws utilise M3 (3 millimetre) machine thread specification, which is a standard size across many HoBao RC vehicles, making them a versatile addition to your spare parts collection for multiple models.
• 10mm Length — The 10mm length provides adequate fastening capability for various chassis and body components on RC buggies, trucks and short course vehicles without being so long that they protrude or interfere with other parts.
• Hex Socket Head Design — The hex socket (Allen key) head style allows for precise, controlled tightening and loosening with the appropriate hex key tool, providing better grip and control compared to screwdriver slots, especially when working in confined spaces on your RC model.
• Countersunk Head Profile — The countersunk design means the screw head sits flush with the surface, creating a clean finish and reducing the risk of the head catching on terrain or other components during high-speed RC driving or racing.
• Machine Thread Construction — These are machine threads rather than self-tapping screws, meaning they're designed to work with pre-threaded holes or threaded inserts, ensuring a secure, reliable connection that won't strip easily with repeated use.
• Wide Compatibility Range — Compatible with numerous HoBao RC models including the HB-SC2E Hyper 10SC 2.0 Electric Truck in multiple body colours, HBCB Hyper Cage Buggy variants, and HB-VS2E and HB-VS2 Hyper VS2 1/8 buggies in both electric and nitro configurations.
• Quality Construction — As an official HoBao spare part, these screws are manufactured to OEM specifications ensuring compatibility and reliability with your RC vehicle.

Technical Performance

The HoBao M3x10mm Hex Socket Countersunk Screws represent precision fastening engineered for the demanding requirements of RC hobby vehicles. These machine thread screws are manufactured to exacting specifications, with an M3 diameter providing the optimal balance between holding power and size for use on 1/8 scale RC buggies and short course trucks. The 10mm length is carefully calculated to secure components without excessive protrusion that could interfere with suspension movement, drivetrain components, or body panels during aggressive driving. The hex socket head design provides superior mechanical advantage compared to traditional screwdriver slots, allowing you to apply consistent torque without risk of the tool slipping and damaging the screw or surrounding components. The countersunk profile is engineered to sit flush with mounting surfaces, which is particularly important on aerodynamic body panels and chassis components where any protrusion could affect airflow or catch on obstacles. These screws are designed to work with pre-threaded holes found on genuine HoBao RC vehicles, including the popular 1/8 scale Hyper VS2 electric and nitro buggies, the Hyper 10SC 2.0 short course truck platform, and the Hyper Cage Buggy series. The machine thread construction provides excellent holding power whilst preventing the stripping issues sometimes associated with self-tapping screws in threaded holes that have been opened and re-closed multiple times during regular maintenance and repair work.

• Why should I buy genuine HoBao spare screws instead of generic alternatives? — Genuine HoBao spare parts are manufactured to OEM specifications and quality standards, ensuring perfect compatibility with your RC vehicle and reliable performance. Generic screws may have slightly different thread profiles, head sizes, or material properties that could result in poor fit, difficulty in assembly, or potential reliability issues during driving. Using genuine parts also helps preserve your vehicle's warranty and ensures you have the correct specifications for proper assembly and maintenance.
• Are these screws suitable for beginners working on RC vehicles? — Yes, these are ideal for beginners and experienced RC enthusiasts alike. The hex socket head design is actually easier to use than slotted screws for most people, as the hex key provides better grip and control. However, you'll need the correct size hex key (Allen key) to work with these screws, so make sure you have the appropriate tool before attempting assembly or disassembly.
• What size hex key do I need for these screws? — The source material does not specify the exact hex key size required for these M3x10mm screws. However, you should consult your HoBao vehicle's instruction manual or contact HoBao directly to determine the correct hex key size, as this information is crucial for proper assembly and to avoid damaging the screw head.
• Can I use these screws on other RC brands besides HoBao? — Whilst these are HoBao-specific spare parts designed for HoBao vehicles, the M3x10mm hex socket countersunk specification is a relatively standard size used across many RC brands. However, we recommend only using these on HoBao vehicles to ensure perfect compatibility and to avoid any fitment issues. If you need screws for other RC vehicle brands, contact us for recommendations on compatible alternatives.
• How many screws come in a pack? — The source material does not specify the quantity of screws provided in this spare parts pack. We recommend contacting RC Model Shop directly to confirm the pack size before purchasing, so you know exactly how many screws you're receiving.
• Do I need any special tools to install these screws? — Yes, you will need a hex key (Allen key) in the appropriate size to tighten and loosen these screws. Make sure you have the correct size tool to avoid stripping the screw head. A small set of metric hex keys is a valuable tool for any RC enthusiast maintaining HoBao vehicles or other RC models.
