Key Features

• M2.6 Thread Size — The M2.6 metric specification ensures perfect compatibility with HoBao RC components and suspension assemblies, providing secure fastening without stripping or loosening during aggressive driving and cornering.
• 6mm Length — The precise 6mm length has been engineered for HoBao applications, offering the ideal balance between holding power and avoiding over-tightening, which is critical for delicate composite and aluminium suspension parts.
• Flat Head Design (Countersunk) — The countersunk head sits flush with the surface, creating a clean, professional appearance and preventing snagging on suspension arms or chassis components during high-speed driving and impacts.
• Machine Thread Construction — The machine thread profile ensures consistent engagement and reliable holding power compared to wood screw profiles, meaning these fasteners won't loosen under the vibration and shock loads that RC vehicles experience.
• Hex Driver Type — The hex socket head accepts standard hex drivers and Allen keys, providing excellent grip and torque transfer without stripping the head, which is essential when working on precision builds.
• Black Colour Finish — The black finish not only looks professional and matches HoBao components, but also provides corrosion resistance, protecting against rust and degradation from moisture and track conditions.
• Pack of 10 — Ten screws per pack ensures you have adequate spares for multiple repairs, regular maintenance intervals, and competition builds without needing to purchase multiple packs.
• Genuine OEM Part — As an official HoBao part (H36206FH), these screws meet exact manufacturer specifications and quality standards, guaranteeing compatibility and reliability for your RC model.

Technical Performance

These M2.6x6mm flat head screws represent precision engineering specifically tailored for the demanding world of RC car racing and recreational driving. The countersunk design is particularly important for RC vehicles because it minimises aerodynamic drag, prevents suspension linkages from catching or binding, and maintains the clean lines of your chassis. The machine thread construction provides superior holding power compared to generic fasteners, which is essential given the constant vibration, lateral G-forces, and impact loads that RC buggies, monster trucks, and other vehicles experience on the track or during bashing sessions. The hex socket head ensures that even under high torque loads, you won't strip or damage the fastener when tightening or removing it for maintenance. The black finish provides practical corrosion resistance, protecting against the effects of moisture, sweat, dirt, and various track conditions that UK RC hobbyists encounter. Each screw in the pack is precision-manufactured to consistent tolerances, ensuring uniform performance across all ten fasteners. Whether you're building a competition-grade RC buggy, maintaining an existing HoBao platform, or undertaking a comprehensive restoration, these screws deliver the reliability and precision that serious RC enthusiasts demand.

Frequently Asked Questions

• What HoBao RC models are these screws compatible with? — These M2.6x6mm flat head screws are designed as OEM fasteners for HoBao RC vehicles. They're commonly used for suspension assemblies, chassis components, and drivetrain fastening. Check your HoBao vehicle's parts diagram or manual to confirm compatibility with your specific model, or contact RC Model Shop for detailed compatibility information.
• Are these screws suitable for beginners? — Yes, absolutely. These are standard replacement fasteners that any RC enthusiast can work with, from complete beginners to experienced racers. They require only a hex driver or Allen key to install, making them perfect for routine maintenance and parts replacement. However, it's important to use the correct torque when fastening—not too tight, as this can strip the threads or crack plastic components, and not too loose, as vibration can cause them to fall out.
• How often should I replace these screws on my RC car? — These screws typically last a very long time under normal use. However, you should inspect them regularly during maintenance and replace any that show signs of corrosion, damage, or wear. It's good practice to keep spare screws in your parts kit for quick repairs or rebuilds. The pack of 10 provides adequate spares for regular maintenance across one or more RC vehicles.
• What driver type do I need to install these screws? — These screws feature a hex socket head, meaning you'll need a hex key or Allen wrench in the appropriate size to install them. Using the correct-sized hex driver is essential to prevent stripping the socket and damaging the screw head.
• Can I use these on other RC brands, or are they HoBao-specific? — These are genuine HoBao OEM parts engineered specifically for HoBao vehicles. While the M2.6x6mm specifications are standard metric dimensions that may fit other RC models, we recommend using them only on HoBao vehicles to ensure proper fitment and performance. If you're unsure about compatibility with another brand, contact RC Model Shop for guidance.
• Why should I buy genuine HoBao screws instead of generic alternatives? — Genuine OEM screws are manufactured to exact HoBao specifications, ensuring perfect fitment and reliable performance. Generic fasteners may have slightly different tolerances, materials, or finishes, potentially leading to compatibility issues, premature wear, or failures during use. For a critical component like fasteners, genuine parts are worth the investment in reliability and longevity.
