Key Features
- M3 Thread Size — These screws feature an M3 metric thread diameter, which is the precise specification required for critical fastening points on HoBao RC vehicles, ensuring a secure fit that prevents loosening during aggressive driving or racing conditions.
- 15mm Length — The 15mm length is specifically designed to reach the internal fastening points on HoBao Hyper SS buggies and compatible models, providing sufficient grip without over-threading or creating clearance issues that could interfere with moving components.
- Hex Socket Cap Head Design — The cap head style with hex socket driver allows for clean, professional-looking fastening while providing excellent torque application through a standard hex key or Allen wrench, making installation and removal straightforward for owners of all skill levels.
- Machine Thread Specification — These are machine-cut threads rather than self-tapping threads, meaning they work with pre-drilled holes in your HoBao chassis and components, delivering precise engagement and reducing the risk of thread stripping over multiple assembly and disassembly cycles.
- Black Colour Finish — The black finish provides a clean aesthetic appearance while offering basic corrosion resistance, keeping your RC car looking professional whether it's on the track, in your workshop, or at a local RC hobby event.
- Genuine HoBao Part — As an original manufacturer part bearing the authentic HoBao specification, these screws guarantee compatibility and performance characteristics that generic fasteners simply cannot match, giving you confidence in your repairs and upgrades.
Technical Performance
The HoBao M3X15mm Hex Socket Cap Screws H32315 represent precision engineering in fastener design, manufactured to exact metric specifications that ensure compatibility with HoBao's 1/8 scale RC buggy platforms. The M3 thread diameter combined with the 15mm length provides an optimal balance between structural strength and space efficiency within the tight confines of an RC vehicle's chassis. Machine thread construction means these screws are designed to work with pre-tapped or pre-drilled holes, delivering consistent torque transmission without the risk of cutting new threads that could weaken the fastening point. The hex socket cap head design provides a large bearing surface for the hex key driver, allowing operators to apply controlled, proportional torque when installing these fasteners—critical when working with composite or plastic chassis materials found in modern RC buggies. The black finish offers visual consistency with other HoBao OEM parts whilst providing basic protection against the elements encountered during outdoor RC racing and bashing sessions. Whether you're reassembling your HoBao Hyper SS 1/8 RTR Buggy after performing maintenance, replacing worn or lost fasteners, or upgrading to a new kit, these genuine HoBao specification screws deliver the reliability and fit precision that separates quality RC hobby work from hasty repairs that compromise performance.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Are these screws compatible with my HoBao RC buggy? — Yes, the HoBao M3X15mm Hex Socket Cap Screws H32315 are specifically designed for compatibility with the HoBao Hyper SS 1/8 RTR Buggy Mach 28 6p Engine model and the HoBao Hyper SS 1/8 RTR Buggy Hyper 21 3port Engine model. If you own either of these HoBao RC buggies, these screws will fit the designated fastening points on your chassis and components. For other HoBao models, we recommend checking your vehicle's parts diagram or contacting our team to confirm compatibility.
- What size hex key do I need to install these screws? — The M3 hex socket cap head design uses a standard metric hex socket that accepts a 2.5mm hex key or Allen wrench. This is a common size found in most RC hobby toolkits, though if you don't have one, they are inexpensive to purchase from RC Model Shop or any general hardware retailer in the UK.
- How many screws come in a pack? — The exact quantity is determined by HoBao's original packaging specification; we recommend contacting RC Model Shop or checking the product listing details to confirm the number of screws included in each order so you purchase the right quantity for your repair or upgrade project.
- Can I use generic M3 screws instead of the genuine HoBao part? — Whilst generic M3 fasteners might physically fit, using non-OEM screws risks compatibility issues, inconsistent thread quality, and potential damage to your HoBao chassis or components. The genuine HoBao H32315 specification ensures perfect fit, optimal torque characteristics, and longevity. For the small investment in genuine parts, the peace of mind and performance reliability is well worth it for any serious RC enthusiast.
- What tools do I need to install these screws? — You will need a 2.5mm hex key (Allen wrench) to drive these hex socket cap screws into pre-drilled or pre-tapped holes on your HoBao RC buggy. A torque-limiting hex key or RC hobby tool is recommended to prevent over-tightening, which could strip threads or damage composite chassis materials.
- Where can I buy replacement screws if I lose or damage one? — RC Model Shop stocks genuine HoBao replacement parts including the M3X15mm Hex Socket Cap Screws H32315. Order online through our website or visit our physical store in Walsall to purchase individual screws or full packs, ensuring you always have the correct spares on hand for your HoBao RC car UK hobby adventures.
