Overview
The HoBao M3 x 50mm Hex Socket Head Cap Shoulder Screws H32350 are precision-engineered fasteners designed specifically for RC car enthusiasts in the UK who demand reliability and quality in their scale model builds. These shoulder screws are essential components for high-performance RC vehicles, particularly those in the HoBao Hyper range, which includes some of the most competitive 1/8 scale buggies and truggies available in the UK RC market today. Whether you're a seasoned RC competitor, a weekend basher, or someone looking to upgrade their ready to run RC car with genuine replacement parts, these professional-grade screws ensure your vehicle maintains peak performance and structural integrity during intense driving sessions.
HoBao is recognised as a leading manufacturer of high-quality RC cars and spare parts, and their commitment to engineering excellence extends to every component, including these crucial shoulder screws. The M3 x 50mm specification means these fasteners are sized perfectly for the suspension mounting points, linkage connections, and other critical assemblies found in modern 1/8 scale RC buggies and truggies. When you're investing time and money into your RC hobby, using genuine HoBao replacement parts ensures compatibility, durability, and the performance characteristics your vehicle was designed to deliver. These screws represent the kind of attention to detail that separates professional RC setups from amateur builds.
Available as a pack of five, these hex socket head cap shoulder screws give you spare parts to maintain multiple RC cars or to keep replacements on hand for competition events, track days, or casual recreational driving. The black finish provides durability against wear and weather, whilst the machine thread construction ensures reliable engagement with the corresponding threaded holes in your RC vehicle's chassis and suspension components.
Key Features
- M3 Thread Size — The M3 metric thread specification is the industry standard for 1/8 scale RC vehicles, ensuring perfect compatibility with HoBao Hyper range buggies and truggies including the Hyper 7 TQ, Hyper SS, Hyper SST, and other models that use this fastener size throughout their suspension and drivetrain assemblies.
- 50mm Length with Shoulder Design — The 50mm total length with dedicated shoulder section provides the precise spacing required for suspension pivot points and linkage connections, allowing smooth articulation without binding whilst maintaining rigid structural support where your vehicle needs it most.
- Hex Socket Head Cap — The hex socket drive allows you to apply torque using standard hex keys (Allen keys), which are common tools in any RC enthusiast's toolbox, making installation, adjustment, and maintenance straightforward and quick at the track or at home.
- Black Finish — The black coating provides corrosion resistance and durability, protecting the screw against oxidation from moisture, fuel residue, and general wear during both electric and nitro RC driving, extending the lifespan of these critical fasteners.
- Machine Thread Construction — Machine threads on these shoulder screws ensure smooth, precise engagement with the threaded mounting points on your RC vehicle, preventing thread stripping and maintaining consistent clamping force throughout your driving season.
- Pack of Five — Receiving five screws in each pack gives you multiple spares to maintain your RC collection or provide backup components for competition events, ensuring you're never caught short if a fastener needs replacement mid-session.
- OEM HoBao Part — As genuine factory parts from HoBao, these screws carry the assurance of fitment and performance specifications set by the manufacturer, delivering exactly the engineering and quality that your HoBao RC vehicle demands.
Technical Performance
The HoBao M3 x 50mm Hex Socket Head Cap Shoulder Screws represent precision fastening engineered to the exacting standards required in competitive RC racing. The M3 metric thread specification, combined with the 50mm length, creates a fastener specifically designed for the suspension pickup points, anti-roll bar mounting locations, and steering linkage connections found in 1/8 scale RC buggies and truggies. The shoulder design—a hallmark of quality RC hardware—provides a precise spacer function that maintains the correct clearance between mating surfaces, preventing component wobble and ensuring consistent handling characteristics across multiple driving sessions. The hex socket head design allows you to apply precise torque using standard hex keys, which is essential when you need to adjust suspension geometry or replace a worn fastener without removing the entire assembly. Unlike inferior fasteners that may strip or deform, these machine-threaded screws engage smoothly and maintain their integrity through thousands of driving cycles. The black finish applied to these screws provides excellent corrosion resistance, which is particularly important if you drive your RC car in damp UK weather conditions or use it frequently at outdoor tracks and trails. Whether you're piloting a HoBao Hyper 7 TQ nitro buggy, an electric Hyper SS, or an ultra-fast Hyper SST truggy, these shoulder screws play a critical role in maintaining the rigidity and precision that high-performance RC vehicles require. The fact that these screws are used as original equipment fasteners on multiple HoBao model platforms underscores their reliability and suitability for demanding RC applications. For UK RC enthusiasts who take their hobby seriously, investing in genuine manufacturer spare parts like these H32350 screws is a fundamental aspect of vehicle maintenance and performance optimisation.
