Key Features
- Factory-Original HoBao Part — This is a genuine OEM component manufactured by HoBao, not a third-party substitute, which means you get exactly the same quality, materials, and engineering specifications that came with your RC buggy from the factory.
- Universal Compatibility Across Hyper VS Range — The H85017 radio tray is compatible with multiple HoBao Hyper VS variants, including the 1/8 RTR Buggy .21 3-Port models in both red (HBVS-C21R) and blue (HBVS-C21B), the advanced Hyper 30 Turbo engine variant (HBVS-C30B), and the Pro buggy nitro roller pre-assembled (HBVS-PRO), making it a versatile spare part for the Hyper VS platform.
- Chassis Spare Category — Classified as a chassis spare, this component is integral to the structural integrity and mounting systems of your 1/8 buggy, not a cosmetic accessory, meaning it directly affects handling and equipment protection during race runs and bashing sessions.
- Reliable Radio Equipment Protection — The radio tray securely houses your receiver and servo connections, protecting these sensitive electronic components from impacts, vibration, and environmental exposure during aggressive RC car driving on rough UK terrain.
- Restore Factory Performance — If your radio tray has cracked, warped, or become damaged from crash impacts common in nitro RC buggy racing, replacing it with this genuine part immediately restores your Hyper VS to factory-specification handling and equipment mounting.
Technical Performance
The HOBAO HYPER VS Radio Tray H85017 is engineered as a precision chassis component for the HoBao Hyper VS 1/8 nitro buggy platform. This part is manufactured to exact OEM specifications, ensuring it provides the same secure mounting, rigidity, and compatibility that HoBao designed into the original assembly. The radio tray serves as the structural foundation for receiver and servo placement on your 1/8 scale nitro buggy, which is critical given the high vibration, shock loads, and G-forces experienced during nitro RC racing and off-road bashing. The tray must maintain dimensional accuracy to ensure proper receiver antenna clearance, servo arm movement, and overall weight distribution across the chassis. HoBao's engineering ensures this component can withstand the demands of competitive 1/8 nitro buggy racing, where powerful .21 three-port engines and turbo variants deliver serious performance and acceleration. The robust construction protects your radio equipment from the impacts and harsh conditions typical of UK RC racing venues and bashing locations.
