Key Features

• M3 Size with 4mm Length — The M3x4mm specification is perfectly suited for small-scale RC components, providing secure fastening without over-tightening risks that can damage delicate plastic or aluminium parts commonly found on RC cars and trucks.
• Hex Driver Type — These set screws feature a hex socket head design, allowing for precise installation and removal using standard hex keys (Allen keys) that most RC hobbyists already have in their toolkit, ensuring no additional specialist tools are required.
• Machine Thread Construction — The machine thread design provides reliable grip and holding power through repeated assembly and disassembly, essential for RC maintenance where components may need regular adjustment and servicing.
• Grub Screw Configuration — As traditional grub screws without external heads, these fasteners sit flush when installed, preventing interference with moving parts or creating snag points that could affect RC car performance during high-speed runs.
• 10-Piece Pack — The generous 10-piece pack ensures you have plenty of spares for multiple repairs, replacements, or building projects, reducing the need for frequent reordering and keeping your RC hobby running without interruption.
• Professional Black Finish — The black colour coating provides corrosion resistance and maintains a professional appearance, important for maintaining the aesthetic quality of your RC vehicles during regular use and storage.
• HoBao Manufactured Quality — As genuine HoBao components, these set screws meet the manufacturer's quality standards and are designed to work seamlessly with HoBao RC models and other compatible applications.
