Key Features

• M3 Machine Thread — Standard M3 metric thread provides reliable engagement with pre-drilled holes on HoBao RC buggies, ensuring consistent fastening without risk of cross-threading or thread damage over repeated assembly and disassembly cycles.
• 20mm Length — The 20mm length is precisely calculated to fit critical fastening points on HoBao 1/8 scale vehicles, providing adequate engagement depth without excessive protrusion that could interfere with moving parts or suspension geometry.
• Hex Socket Driver — The hex socket design accommodates a standard hex key (Allen key) for secure tightening and removal, allowing you to apply controlled torque without risk of head damage that can occur with Phillips or slot-head screws during pit-side repairs.
• Countersunk Head Design — The countersunk profile sits flush with component surfaces, minimising weight and drag while creating a clean appearance on your RC buggy chassis and bodywork components.
• Black Colour Finish — The black finish provides corrosion resistance and a professional appearance on your HoBao RC vehicle, maintaining aesthetics through multiple seasons of racing and bashing.
• Genuine OEM Specification — These are the original factory specification fasteners for HoBao vehicles, guaranteeing perfect fit and performance that aftermarket or universal screws cannot match.

Technical Performance

The HoBao H31320 countersunk screws represent precision engineering at the component level. Manufactured from hardened steel with a machine thread specification, these fasteners are engineered to withstand the vibration, impact loads, and repeated assembly cycles inherent in high-performance 1/8 scale RC buggy operation. The M3 metric sizing ensures compatibility with HoBao's precision-drilled component tolerances, whilst the 20mm length provides optimal engagement for critical structural joints. Whether you're running a Hyper SS 1/8 RTR buggy with a 6-port nitro engine, a Hyper 21 or Hyper 30 engine installation, or one of the Hyper VS2 electric RTR models with advanced ESC systems, these screws deliver the reliability that competition-grade RC vehicles require. The hex socket driver minimises damage during repeated pit-side adjustments, whilst the countersunk head maintains the clean lines and precise weight distribution that serious RC drivers demand.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Are these screws compatible with my HoBao RC buggy? — These M3x20mm hex socket countersunk screws are the genuine OEM specification fasteners for all HoBao Hyper SS and Hyper VS series 1/8 scale RTR buggies. Check your model number against the compatibility list above to confirm they're the correct screws for your vehicle. Using genuine HoBao screws ensures perfect fit and avoids the issues that can arise with non-specification fasteners.
• Why should I use genuine HoBao screws instead of universal aftermarket fasteners? — Genuine HoBao fasteners are engineered to the exact specifications of HoBao's precision-drilled components, guaranteeing proper engagement and avoiding stripped threads or loose connections that compromise performance. The countersunk head design, thread pitch, and material hardness are all matched to HoBao's engineering standards, ensuring reliability across multiple assembly and disassembly cycles.
• How many screws are in a pack? — The source information provided specifies the product as an H31320 pack of HoBao M3x20mm hex socket countersunk screws, though the exact quantity per pack is not detailed in the available information. We recommend contacting RC Model Shop directly to confirm pack quantity before ordering.
• What tools do I need to use these screws? — You'll need a hex key (Allen key) that matches the hex socket size on the screw head. Standard M3 countersunk screws typically use a 2.0mm or 2.5mm hex key. Ensure your hex key fits snugly in the socket to avoid stripping the head during installation or removal.
• Can I use these screws on other RC vehicles? — These screws are specifically engineered for HoBao vehicles with M3 fastening points. Whilst they may fit other 1/8 scale RC buggies with M3x20mm specifications, we recommend using the original specification fasteners recommended by your vehicle's manufacturer to ensure proper fit and performance.
• Are these screws suitable for nitro or electric RC buggies? — Yes, these M3x20mm hex socket countersunk screws are used across HoBao's entire product range, including both nitro-powered models (Hyper SS, Hyper VS2 with Hyper 21 and Hyper 30 engines) and electric models (Hyper VS2e with ESC systems). The fasteners themselves are not affected by the power system; they simply hold structural components together.
