Overview
The HoBao HYPER SS/VS/CAGE M3X16.5MM Brake Screws (5) represent an essential spare parts component for serious RC enthusiasts in the UK who operate HoBao Hyper series vehicles. Whether you're running a high-performance nitro RC truggy, an electric RC buggy, or any model from the Hyper range, these precision-engineered brake screws are critical maintenance items that ensure your vehicle's braking system functions optimally during intense off-road action. These small but mighty fasteners are responsible for securing brake components on your RC car, making them indispensable for anyone who demands reliability from their ready to run RC setup or custom race build.
As a UK RC hobbyist, you'll appreciate that HoBao spare parts are engineered to the same demanding standards as the complete vehicles they support. The M3X16.5mm specification means these screws are precisely sized to fit the brake assemblies found across multiple HoBao Hyper platform models, from the SS nitro truggies to the VS2 electric buggies. Having a spare set of five brake screws in your workshop means you're always prepared for maintenance, repairs, or race day adjustments without downtime waiting for delivery. These are the genuine OEM parts that HoBao themselves specify for these models, guaranteeing perfect fit and compatibility every single time.
Whether you're a weekend basher pushing your RC buggy to its limits at your local track, a competitive racer fine-tuning every component for maximum performance, or an experienced RC builder maintaining your fleet, authentic HoBao replacement fasteners like these are the foundation of reliable vehicle maintenance. British RC car enthusiasts know that using genuine manufacturer parts rather than cheap aftermarket alternatives ensures your investment in quality RC equipment continues to perform at its best.

Technical Performance
The HoBao HYPER SS/VS/CAGE M3X16.5MM Brake Screws exemplify precision engineering in RC spare parts manufacturing. These fasteners meet exacting dimensional standards with an M3 metric diameter and 16.5mm length that has been verified across the entire HoBao Hyper platform ecosystem. The brake assembly is one of the most stress-tested components on any RC vehicle, experiencing repeated clamping and unclamping cycles as you modulate braking pressure during turns, acceleration phases, and emergency stops. The screws must withstand vibration from high-frequency surface impacts, maintain clamping force through hundreds of driving hours, and resist corrosion from moisture exposure during outdoor RC bashings. HoBao's engineering specification ensures these fasteners deliver the structural integrity required for consistent brake performance whether you're running a Hyper SS nitro truggy with its powerful engine-braking characteristics, a VS2 electric buggy with regenerative braking capability, or the CAGE platform optimised for mixed-terrain performance. The M3 specification represents the optimal balance between clamping force, fastener length, and assembly compatibility across the Hyper range, proving that even small components require careful design consideration in high-performance RC engineering.
