RC enthusiasts and model builders across the UK trust HoBao components because they're engineered with precision and manufactured to consistent standards.

Key Features
- M3 Hex Socket Design — The hex socket driver type provides excellent grip and control when fastening and unfastening, reducing the risk of stripped screw heads compared to traditional slotted or Phillips head alternatives, which means you can maintain your RC model quickly and reliably without frustration.
- Countersunk Head Profile — The countersunk design sits flush with the mounting surface once installed, providing a clean appearance and ensuring no protruding fastener heads catch on obstacles or snag during high-speed RC driving, which is essential for maintaining your model's aerodynamics and appearance.
- 15mm Length — Sized specifically for HoBao vehicles' assembly requirements, this length ensures proper engagement with threaded inserts and mounting points throughout your RC model without excessive protrusion, delivering secure fastening without waste material or potential interference with moving parts.
- Machine Thread Construction — Precision machine threads provide consistent, reliable fastening that holds securely under the vibrations and stresses encountered during RC driving, whether you're bashing with a ready to run RC buggy or running competitive laps with your HoBao Monster Truck.
- Genuine HoBao OEM Part — These are authentic factory-specification fasteners engineered to exact tolerances, ensuring perfect compatibility with your HoBao RC model and delivering the same quality standards you experienced when your vehicle was first assembled.
- Black Finish — The durable black colour coating resists corrosion and oxidation, helping your screws maintain their appearance and functionality through outdoor use, storage, and exposure to varying weather conditions typical of UK RC hobby environments.
Technical Performance
The HoBao M3X15mm Hex Socket Countersunk Screw represents precision engineering at the fastener level, manufactured to deliver reliable performance across HoBao's diverse product range. The M3 specification indicates a 3mm diameter thread, providing sufficient load-bearing capacity for the assembly points found throughout HoBao RC models without introducing unnecessary weight or bulk. The 15mm overall length has been carefully calculated to suit HoBao's chassis design, body mounts, suspension components, and drivetrain assembly points, ensuring proper thread engagement depth whilst avoiding bottoming out or over-tightening situations that could strip plastic or aluminium components. Machine thread construction provides the precision fit necessary for vibration-resistant fastening, critical in RC vehicles where constant acceleration, deceleration, and impact forces would quickly loosen inferior fasteners. The countersunk head design engineering ensures the screw sits completely flush once installed, preventing any catching or snagging that could impede performance or create aerodynamic drag in high-speed running. The hex socket driver type provides superior control compared to Phillips or slotted alternatives, enabling consistent fastening torque and reducing the likelihood of cam-out or fastener damage during assembly and maintenance work on your RC buggy, monster truck, or other HoBao vehicles.
