Overview

The HOBAO HYPER TT2E/SC2E 12MM ALUMINIUM SHOCK CAP SET (PR) HOP1-0084 is an essential upgrade and replacement component for serious RC enthusiasts running the HOBAO Hyper TT2.0 Pro Truggy, SC2E Short Course truck, EX10 2WD buggy, or H2ES 2WD buggy. These premium aluminium shock caps represent HOBAO's commitment to precision engineering and performance, offering both durability and reliability that discerning RC car UK hobbyists demand. Whether you're maintaining your existing setup, upgrading worn components, or building a competition-grade RC truck or buggy, this shock cap set delivers the quality and functionality that serious racers expect from a trusted manufacturer.

HOBAO has earned recognition in the RC community for engineering exceptional 1/10 scale vehicles, and their component range reflects the same attention to detail found in their complete RC kits. This shock cap set is engineered to work seamlessly with HOBAO's suspension systems, providing the stability and damping control essential for consistent handling across varied terrain. From casual weekend bashing with your ready to run RC truck to competitive racing environments, these shock caps maintain the structural integrity and performance characteristics your vehicle needs.

RC Model Shop stocks this component because we understand that quality replacement parts and upgrade options are fundamental to keeping your RC experience enjoyable. These aluminium shock caps are engineered to maintain consistent suspension geometry and fluid dynamics, whether you're running an emulsion-style or bladder-style shock configuration.

Key Features

• Premium Aluminium Construction — Manufactured from high-quality aluminium, these shock caps deliver exceptional durability whilst maintaining lightweight characteristics essential for optimal suspension performance in your 1/10 scale RC vehicle.
• Dual-Function Design — These shock caps are engineered to work as both emulsion and bladder-style shocks, offering versatility for different suspension setups and allowing you to tailor your vehicle's damping characteristics to your specific driving style and track conditions.
• Bleeder Screws Included — Integrated bleeder screws facilitate easy air removal from the shock chambers during setup and maintenance, ensuring consistent damping performance and eliminating performance-degrading air bubbles that can compromise suspension response.
• Comprehensive Hardware Package — The set includes everything required for installation, including shock cap inserts, M2 x 5mm mounting screws, washers, O-rings, and emulsion shock seals, meaning you have all components necessary for immediate fitting to your HOBAO TT2E, SC2E, EX10, or H2ES.
• Multi-Vehicle Compatibility — Designed to fit seamlessly across the HOBAO Hyper range including the TT2.0 Pro Truggy Truck (clear body, silver body, and blue body variants), SC2E Short Course truck, EX10 2WD buggy, and H2ES 2WD buggy, providing flexibility across multiple platforms.
• Bladder Shock Configuration Option — When building true bladder-style shocks, these caps work in conjunction with HOP40042 components, allowing competition-focused builders to optimise their suspension for maximum control and consistency across demanding courses.
• Precision Fitment — Engineered to HOBAO's exacting standards, these shock caps ensure proper sealing and damping oil retention, maintaining the suspension geometry that keeps your ready to run RC truck or buggy handling predictably lap after lap.

Technical Performance

The HOBAO HYPER TT2E/SC2E shock cap set represents genuine engineering excellence in RC suspension components. The 12mm diameter construction is specifically engineered to work with HOBAO's shock tower assemblies and suspension geometry, providing the critical interface between the shock piston rod and the upper mounting point. These caps are precision-manufactured from aluminium to maintain consistency with HOBAO's build philosophy of lightweight construction without compromising strength. The inclusion of emulsion shock seals in this set ensures that you can configure your shocks to HOBAO's specification, which calls for shocks filled with #600 silicone oil for optimal damping characteristics. The dual-function design is particularly important because it means these caps work equally well in standard emulsion configurations or when paired with bladder-style internals (via HOP40042) for those seeking the ultimate in suspension precision. The shock cap insert components work in conjunction with the main cap body to create a secure, sealed chamber that maintains damping oil consistency and prevents leakage that would degrade suspension performance over time. Proper installation of these components, facilitated by the included hardware (M2 x 5mm screws, 2 x 4 x 0.5mm washers, and 2x1mm O-rings), ensures that your suspension maintains HOBAO's precision engineering across both front and rear of your vehicle. This is the genuine specification component that HOBAO engineers demand when they design their TT2.0 Pro truck and other compatible platforms, making it the correct choice for anyone committed to maintaining their RC car UK to factory standards.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Will these shock caps fit my HOBAO TT2.0 Pro Truggy? — Yes, these HOP1-0084 shock caps are specifically engineered for the HOBAO TT2.0 Pro in all body variants (clear, silver, and blue), as well as the SC2E short course truck. They are designed to replace or upgrade the standard shock caps that come with your truck as an ARR (almost ready to run) or RTR (ready to run) package.
• What is the difference between emulsion and bladder-style shocks? — Emulsion shocks use a simple seal design and are straightforward to set up, making them excellent for general use and beginners. Bladder-style shocks use a separate air bladder to maintain pressure and prevent emulsification of the damping oil, offering more consistent performance and better stability under demanding racing conditions. These caps function in both configurations, though bladder-style requires the additional HOP40042 component.
• Can I use these shock caps on other HOBAO models? — These caps are designed specifically for the TT2E, SC2E, EX10, and H2ES vehicles. Whilst the 12mm size is common across many HOBAO vehicles, fitment compatibility varies by model, so you should verify compatibility before installation on other platforms.
• Do I need to replace my shock caps if mine are damaged? — If your existing shock caps are cracked, stripped, or damaged in any way, replacement is essential for maintaining proper suspension performance and preventing damping oil leakage. These HOBAO-specification caps ensure you restore your vehicle to factory performance standards.
• What damping oil should I use with these shock caps? — HOBAO specifications call for #600 silicone oil in the shocks of the TT2.0 Pro and compatible vehicles. This viscosity is specifically chosen to work with the piston and sealing design of these shock caps. Always use quality RC-specific silicone oil rather than general-purpose lubricants.
• Are these caps suitable for competitive racing? — Yes, these are the genuine HOBAO components used in factory race builds. Many competitive RC drivers use this exact shock cap set as part of their maintenance and upgrade strategy for consistent performance across multiple race days.
• How do I install the bleeder screws? — The bleeder screws are integrated into the shock cap design and allow you to remove air bubbles from the shock chambers during initial setup or when refilling with fresh damping oil. Simply open the bleeder screw slightly whilst extending and compressing the shock by hand until no more air bubbles escape, then retighten.
