Key Features

• Self-Tapping Design — These screws feature self-tapping threads that allow them to cut their own threads as they are inserted, eliminating the need for pre-drilled holes and making installation faster and more convenient during maintenance or repairs on your RC vehicle.
• Hex Socket Head — The hex socket design accepts standard hex driver tools, providing a secure grip and preventing the screw head from stripping or becoming damaged during installation and removal, which is essential when working on precision RC equipment.
• Button Head Profile — The button head shape offers a compact, recessed appearance that integrates seamlessly with HoBao RC car designs whilst remaining small enough not to interfere with moving parts or suspension geometry.
• M3x12mm Specification — These fasteners are precisely sized at M3 diameter with 12mm length, making them compatible with multiple HoBao models including the SC10 Nitro short course truck and the Hyper VT Nitro on-road vehicles without requiring modification.
• Pack of 10 Pieces — Each pack contains 10 screws, giving you multiple replacements for repairs and maintenance, so you'll always have spares on hand for your RC hobby without needing to reorder immediately after a rebuild.
• Genuine HoBao Quality — These are authentic HoBao parts manufactured to the same standards as original equipment, ensuring perfect fitment and reliable performance on your RC car without compatibility issues.

Technical Performance

The HoBao M3X12mm Hex Socket Button Head Tapping Screws represent the kind of precision engineering and attention to detail that separates quality RC components from inferior alternatives. Each screw in this 10-piece pack is manufactured to exacting standards to ensure consistent performance across multiple installations. The self-tapping thread profile is engineered to bite into plastic and composite materials commonly used in RC car chassis and body panels, creating a secure hold without requiring pre-drilling or the installation of threaded inserts. The hex socket head design means you can apply adequate torque without risk of slipping or damaging the screw recess, a critical consideration when working with small fasteners on precision RC equipment. The M3 diameter provides sufficient strength for general panel fastening whilst the 12mm length ensures adequate thread engagement in typical RC car components. Whether you're maintaining a HoBao 1/10 scale short course truck, a 1/8 scale on-road vehicle like the Hyper VT Nitro, or any other HoBao model requiring M3x12mm fastening, these screws deliver reliable performance that keeps your RC car running safely and securely. The black finish provides both corrosion resistance and a professional appearance consistent with modern RC vehicle design standards.
