Key Features

• Hex Socket Button Head Design — The hex socket configuration allows for secure, controlled tightening and loosening with an Allen key, minimising the risk of bolt stripping and providing superior control during assembly and maintenance compared to standard Phillips or slot-head fasteners.
• Genuine HoBao OEM Part — These are authentic replacement components manufactured to HoBao's exacting specifications, guaranteeing material quality, tolerances and performance consistency that aftermarket alternatives simply cannot match.
• Essential Spare Part — Whether replacing damaged screws from a crash or assembling replacement parts, having genuine HoBao fasteners ensures your repairs maintain the integrity and performance standards of your original vehicle.

Technical Performance

The HoBao M3X12mm Hex Socket Button Head Screws are precision-engineered fasteners manufactured to stringent tolerances to ensure reliable performance in demanding RC racing environments. The M3 diameter provides substantial holding power suitable for critical assembly points on 1/8-scale nitro-powered RC buggy models, where vibration and high-impact forces are constant factors. The 12mm length is specifically engineered for certain key assembly locations on HoBao vehicles where material thickness and component stacking require this particular dimension. The hex socket button head design is superior to conventional fastener designs because it provides a larger engagement surface area, reducing the likelihood of the Allen key slipping or stripping the socket during repeated use—a critical consideration for RC enthusiasts who regularly maintain and adjust their vehicles. Button head screws also feature a more compact profile than standard cap screws, making them ideal for applications where space is limited or aesthetics matter. The robust construction of these genuine HoBao components ensures they withstand the extreme stresses placed on fasteners in high-performance nitro-powered RC vehicles, including constant vibration, thermal cycling from the nitro engine, and the shock loads generated during racing and bashing. Material quality and manufacturing precision are paramount in RC applications, and genuine OEM parts like these guarantee performance and longevity far superior to budget fastener alternatives.
