Technical Performance
The HoBao Hyper 7 Wheel Hub Set represents precision engineering designed for the demanding requirements of 1/8th scale electric and nitro RC buggies and truggies. These hubs are engineered from quality materials selected for strength, durability, and consistent performance under the stresses of both on-road circuit racing and off-road bashing. The precise manufacturing tolerances ensure that your wheels sit perfectly true and maintain optimal alignment with your suspension geometry, which is critical for predictable handling and maximising tyre contact with the ground. Compatible across the entire HoBao Hyper range including models powered by brushless electric motors at various ESC ratings (from 100A brushless ESCs through to 150A configurations) and nitro-powered variants with HyperEngine compatibility (21cc and 30cc engines), these wheel hubs provide universal reliability. The pair format means you can address both sides of your vehicle, whether performing preventative maintenance on a race-ready RC buggy or restoring a well-used basher to peak performance. HoBao's engineering focus on consistency and quality means these hubs will integrate seamlessly with your existing suspension arms, shock absorbers, and drivetrain components, maintaining the balanced handling and responsive steering that distinguishes HoBao RC cars in the UK marketplace.

If you live in one of these areas, feel free to contact us before ordering so we can confirm the delivery options and costs for you.
- Most of our products include delivery in the price. If your order is under £90, a small delivery fee will apply but do not worry this will always be clearly shown at checkout before you complete your purchase.

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.
