Overview
The HOBAO HYPER STAR CNC ALUM RADIO TRAY PLATE H89651 is a premium upgrade component designed for serious RC car enthusiasts in the UK who demand precision engineering and durability. This CNC-machined aluminium radio tray plate is engineered to provide a robust mounting solution for your receiver and radio equipment, ensuring secure and reliable performance during high-speed RC driving sessions. Whether you're a competitive racer, weekend basher, or dedicated RC hobbyist, this genuine HoBao spare part offers the build quality and attention to detail that separates professional-grade RC cars from standard models.
HoBao has established itself as a respected manufacturer of high-performance RC vehicles and components across Europe and the UK RC market. The HYPER STAR range represents their commitment to delivering vehicles that combine speed, handling precision and durability. As an optional upgrade component, this CNC aluminium radio tray plate elevates your RC car's reliability by providing a precisely engineered mounting platform for your receiver and servo electronics, manufactured to exacting tolerances that only CNC machining can achieve.
This component is ideal for anyone running a HYPER STAR chassis who wants to ensure their radio equipment is securely mounted and properly protected during intense driving conditions. The use of CNC-machined aluminium construction means this part will withstand the vibrations, impacts and stresses of regular RC driving without flexing or degrading, maintaining consistent radio reception and servo response throughout your driving sessions.
Key Features
- CNC-Machined Aluminium Construction — Computer numerically controlled machining ensures every dimension is precisely cut to exacting tolerances, delivering a component that fits perfectly with your HYPER STAR chassis and provides a solid mounting platform that won't warp or flex under stress from driving impacts and vibrations.
- Dedicated Radio Tray Design — This plate is specifically engineered to hold and protect your receiver, servo and radio equipment in the optimal position on your RC car, preventing movement that could degrade signal strength or cause equipment damage during high-speed driving.
- Lightweight Aluminium Material — Aluminium offers the ideal balance between strength and weight, providing robust protection for your electronics whilst keeping your overall vehicle weight low to maintain acceleration, top speed and handling characteristics.
- Genuine HoBao Component — As an official HoBao spare part, this component is manufactured to the same quality standards as the original HYPER STAR chassis, ensuring perfect fitment and long-term reliability.
- Professional-Grade Quality — The precision engineering and premium materials reflect HoBao's commitment to delivering components that serious RC enthusiasts and competitors can depend on for consistent performance.
Technical Performance
This CNC-machined aluminium radio tray plate represents a significant step up in chassis engineering for RC car upgrades. The use of computer numerical control machining means every curve, edge and mounting hole is cut with industrial precision, eliminating the tolerance stack-up and inconsistencies that can occur with traditionally manufactured parts. Aluminium is the material of choice for high-performance RC components because it offers exceptional strength-to-weight ratio — it's strong enough to resist bending and cracking under the severe forces experienced during RC driving, yet lightweight enough that it won't negatively impact your vehicle's performance or acceleration. The radio tray plate design ensures that your receiver, servo and other electronics are mounted securely at the centre of gravity for optimal weight distribution, which directly impacts handling characteristics, cornering stability and predictability during high-speed driving sessions on UK RC tracks and terrain.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What is a radio tray plate and why do I need one for my RC car? — A radio tray plate is a mounting component that holds your receiver, servo and radio electronics securely in position on your chassis. It's essential because it prevents these sensitive components from moving around during driving, which could cause loss of signal, inconsistent steering response, or physical damage to your equipment. The CNC-machined design ensures perfect fitment and rigid mounting.
- Is this part genuine and guaranteed to fit my HYPER STAR? — Yes, this is an official HoBao spare part (part number H89651) manufactured to precise specifications. It is designed specifically for the HYPER STAR chassis and will fit perfectly with original fitment and quality standards that match the rest of your vehicle.
- What makes CNC-machined aluminium better than standard plastic trays? — CNC machining delivers precision that plastic moulding cannot match, eliminating tolerance issues and ensuring every mounting point aligns perfectly. Aluminium is significantly stronger and more rigid than plastic, meaning it won't flex or warp under the severe vibrations and impacts of RC driving, maintaining consistent positioning of your electronics throughout your driving session.
- Can I use this on other RC car models besides the HYPER STAR? — This part is specifically designed for the HoBao HYPER STAR chassis. Using it on other vehicles may result in poor fitment and inadequate mounting security. For other chassis, we recommend checking compatibility with the relevant manufacturer specifications or contacting our RC Model Shop team for advice.
- Does this component require any tools to install? — Installation will require basic RC tools including screwdrivers and potentially hex keys, depending on your current radio tray setup. The CNC-machined design ensures that all mounting holes align perfectly, making installation straightforward for anyone with basic RC car maintenance experience.
- Is this upgrade suitable for beginners? — This is an optional upgrade component intended for users who are comfortable performing maintenance and modifications on their RC cars. Beginners should ensure they have basic mechanical knowledge before attempting installation, or seek assistance from experienced RC enthusiasts or an RC Model Shop team member.
