- Genuine HoBao Manufacturing — These centre driveshafts are manufactured by HoBao, the original equipment maker, ensuring they meet the exact specifications and quality standards required for your Hyper VS2 buggy. Using genuine OEM parts guarantees compatibility and reliability that aftermarket alternatives cannot always provide.
- Comprehensive Model Compatibility — These driveshafts are compatible with the complete HoBao Hyper VS2 range, including all electric variants (HB-VS2E roller, HB-VS2E-C150Y with 6s ESC, HB-VS2E-C100Y with 4s ESC) and all nitro models (HB-VS2 roller, HB-VS2-C21Y with Hyper 21 engine, HB-VS2-C30Y with Hyper 30 engine). This universal compatibility across the entire VS2 platform means one replacement part solution works across multiple vehicle configurations.
- Critical Drivetrain Component — As centre driveshafts, these parts form a key element of your buggy's powertrain system. They transmit rotational force from the motor through the transmission to deliver consistent, reliable power to the wheels during acceleration, cornering and high-speed runs.
- Essential Spare for Competitive Racing — For RC enthusiasts participating in competitive 1/8 scale buggy racing, having genuine replacement driveshafts on hand is essential. Drivetrain components can wear over time or be damaged during intense racing sessions, so maintaining spare parts ensures you're always ready for the next race day without delays.
- Easy Installation — As a dedicated spare part designed specifically for the Hyper VS2 platform, installation is straightforward for anyone with basic RC maintenance knowledge. This makes it simple to perform repairs and keep your buggy in tip-top condition between racing events.
Technical Performance
The HOBAO HYPER VS2 Centre Driveshafts represent precision-engineered components designed for the demanding world of 1/8 scale RC buggy racing and recreational driving. The Hyper VS2 platform itself is available in multiple powertrain configurations including electric variants with 4s 100A ESC and 6s 150A ESC options, as well as nitro-powered versions featuring either Hyper 21 or Hyper 30 engines. The centre driveshafts must reliably handle the torque output from these diverse motor configurations whilst maintaining precise power transfer to ensure consistent handling and predictable performance during high-speed runs and competition driving. These components are engineered to the same exacting standards as the original factory parts, incorporating robust materials and precise manufacturing tolerances that ensure a perfect fit within the Hyper VS2 transmission system. For drivers operating either roller buggy variants (which allow you to add your own ESC and battery) or ready-to-run RTR models, these replacement driveshafts deliver the reliability and durability expected from a manufacturer with decades of 1/8 scale RC expertise. Whether you're pushing an electric buggy to its maximum speed or extracting peak performance from a high-revving nitro engine, these centre driveshafts ensure smooth, consistent power delivery throughout your driving session.

Orders are dispatched Monday to Friday only. Some items may take a little longer and if that is the case we will always show the expected delivery time on the product page.
- If your order includes items with different dispatch times we will normally wait and send everything together once all items are in stock. If one of the items is going to take a while we will give you the choice either wait for everything to arrive or let us send the available items now and deliver the rest later. It is up to you.
- We use trusted delivery partners to make sure your order gets to you safely and on time. We use DPD for next working day deliveries and Royal Mail for the 2 day option.
- As soon as your order is on its way we will send you a tracking number by email. If you provide your mobile number at checkout we will also send delivery updates straight to your phone so you can keep an eye on progress.
