As a specialist RC retailer, we understand that RC car maintenance requires access to genuine, reliable components.

Key Features
- M4 Diameter Thread — This metric screw uses a 4mm diameter thread, which is a standard fastener size across many HOBAO RC models and compatible vehicles, ensuring broad compatibility within the HOBAO range.
- 18mm Length — The 18mm shaft length provides the correct engagement depth for HOBAO chassis components, preventing over-tightening or under-securing of critical assembly points on your RC car.
- Flat Head Design — The countersunk flat head profile allows the screw to sit flush with mounting surfaces, maintaining the sleek profile of your RC model whilst eliminating potential catching points during high-speed running or impacts.
- Genuine HOBAO Manufacturing — As an authentic HOBAO component, this screw meets the brand's strict quality standards and engineering specifications, guaranteeing reliable performance in your RC application.
- Essential Spare Part — Every serious RC enthusiast knows that having quality replacement fasteners on hand is essential for quick repairs and maintenance between sessions, keeping downtime to a minimum.
Technical Performance
The HOBAO M4x18 Flat Head Screw represents precision engineering in fastener design. Manufactured to exact metric specifications, the M4 diameter and 18mm length combination has been selected specifically for use in HOBAO RC vehicles where strength, reliability and proper fitment are non-negotiable. The flat head design is particularly important in RC applications, as it prevents the fastener head from protruding above the mounting surface, which could catch on terrain, vegetation or other obstacles during high-speed running or off-road bashings. The quality of the metal and the precision of the threading ensure that the screw will not strip easily under the vibration and stress that is typical of RC car operation. Whether you're assembling a new chassis, reassembling a vehicle after maintenance, or performing quick field repairs at the track or bash spot, this fastener delivers the reliability and durability you expect from genuine HOBAO components.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What is the M4x18 specification on this HOBAO screw? — The M4x18 designation refers to the metric thread diameter (4mm) and overall length (18mm). This sizing is standard across many HOBAO RC models and ensures proper fitment and engagement in designated screw holes throughout your RC vehicle's chassis and assembly points.
- Is this screw compatible with my HOBAO RC model? — This genuine HOBAO H31418 screw is designed for HOBAO vehicles that specify M4x18 fasteners in their assembly instructions or parts diagrams. We recommend checking your vehicle's documentation or contacting our team at RC Model Shop to confirm compatibility with your specific HOBAO model.
- Why do I need replacement screws for my RC car? — During normal RC operation, fasteners can become loose, stripped, or lost entirely, particularly after high-impact crashes or intense off-road bashing sessions. Having genuine replacement screws ensures you can perform quick field repairs and complete reassembly without compromising on quality or safety. Many experienced RC drivers keep spare fasteners in their pit bag for this reason.
- What makes a flat head screw better than a standard screw for RC applications? — The flat head (countersunk) design allows the screw to sit flush with the mounting surface, maintaining the sleek aerodynamic profile of your RC model and eliminating potential catch points that could snag on grass, dirt or obstacles during running sessions. This design is preferred by RC manufacturers and enthusiasts for improved performance and aesthetics.
- Should I buy multiple screws? — Yes, it's a sensible idea to purchase several M4x18 screws when you order, as having spares on hand means you're always prepared for quick maintenance or repairs. Many RC enthusiasts keep a selection of common fasteners in their toolkit for this reason.
