Overview
The HoBao HYPER EXTREME VTE2 V2 1/7 CNC Steel Screws M3x10x4.2 (H85159) are precision replacement fasteners specifically engineered for the HoBao 1/7 Extreme VTE2-V2 on-road electric RC car. These hardened steel screws are manufactured using CNC precision machining to ensure perfect dimensional accuracy and consistency across every fastener. Whether you're building your first high-performance RC car UK or maintaining a well-loved competition machine, having a reliable supply of genuine replacement screws is essential for keeping your RC vehicle in peak condition.
The M3x10x4.2 specification denotes a 3mm diameter screw with a 10mm overall length and a 4.2mm head diameter, making these fasteners ideal for securing various internal and external components on the VTE2-V2 chassis and drivetrain. CNC-manufactured screws like these are far superior to stamped alternatives because they offer superior material consistency, precise thread tolerances, and greater resistance to stripping. When you're racing or bashing your ready to run RC car, the last thing you need is a fastener failure causing parts to come loose or detach during high-speed running.
HoBao is recognised worldwide as a manufacturer of high-quality RC vehicles and parts, and their commitment to precision engineering extends to every single component. By choosing genuine HoBao replacement parts, you ensure your 1/7 scale on-road RC car maintains its structural integrity and performance characteristics. This 8-piece pack of M3x10x4.2 steel screws provides you with spares to replace worn, damaged or lost fasteners on your Extreme VTE2-V2, keeping your investment in top running condition.
Key Features
- CNC Precision Manufactured — These screws are produced using computer numerical control machining, which ensures every fastener is manufactured to exact specifications with consistent thread quality, head diameter and overall dimensions, eliminating the dimensional variances that can occur with cheaper stamped or formed screws.
- Hardened Steel Construction — The use of hardened steel provides exceptional strength and resistance to stripping, which is critical when securing components on a high-performance 4WD RC car that experiences significant vibration and stress during operation.
- M3x10x4.2 Specification — These fasteners are specifically designed for the HoBao 1/7 Extreme VTE2-V2, ensuring perfect fit and compatibility with all designated mounting points on the chassis, drivetrain components and suspension assemblies.
- 8-Piece Pack — This convenient multi-pack provides you with adequate spare fasteners for maintenance, repairs and ongoing upkeep of your RC vehicle without needing to purchase additional packs for routine replacements.
- Genuine OEM Part — These are authentic HoBao factory parts, not aftermarket alternatives, guaranteeing compatibility and performance that matches the original factory specifications and engineering tolerances.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Are these screws compatible with other HoBao models? — These M3x10x4.2 fasteners are specifically manufactured for the HoBao 1/7 Extreme VTE2-V2, though they may be compatible with other HoBao vehicles that use the same screw specification. Always verify the part number against your vehicle manual before purchase to ensure proper fit.
- Why should I choose genuine HoBao screws over cheaper alternatives? — Genuine OEM parts are manufactured to the exact specifications and tolerances that your RC car was engineered around. CNC-manufactured hardened steel screws like these are far less likely to strip, break or fail under the intense stresses experienced during high-speed driving or racing, protecting your investment in your ready to run RC car.
- How often will I need to replace these screws? — With proper installation and maintenance, quality hardened steel screws should last indefinitely. However, it's wise to keep spare fasteners on hand for replacements if screws become damaged, lost, or stripped during crashes or maintenance work.
- What makes CNC-manufactured screws better than stamped screws? — CNC precision machining produces fasteners with superior material consistency, more accurate thread profiles, better head dimensional accuracy, and greater overall strength compared to stamped or formed alternatives, all of which reduce the risk of failure during intense RC car operations.
- Is this a beginner-friendly maintenance part? — Yes, replacing screws is one of the most straightforward maintenance tasks on an RC car. Even beginners can easily swap out damaged or worn fasteners using basic tools like a Phillips head or hex screwdriver.
