Overview
The HOBAO HYPER VS2 CNC Aluminium Servo Tray (H85073) is an essential replacement or upgrade component for owners of the HoBao Hyper VS2 1/8 scale RC buggy platform. This precision-engineered servo tray represents the kind of high-quality spare part that keeps your RC car UK competitive ready and performs reliably on the track or at the bash spot. Whether you're maintaining a nitro-powered model or running one of the advanced electric variants, this CNC-machined aluminium tray provides a robust foundation for your servo installation.
Designed and manufactured by HoBao, a company renowned for producing competitive 1/8 scale buggies, this servo tray showcases the attention to detail expected from professional-grade RC equipment. The use of CNC aluminium construction means you're getting a component machined to exact tolerances, ensuring perfect fit and alignment with your chassis. For UK RC enthusiasts who demand reliability and performance from their ready to run RC vehicles, or those building up roller kits from individual components, this servo tray is a critical part that deserves to be sourced from quality suppliers.
This is an official HoBao spare part, making it the perfect choice when you need to replace a damaged servo tray or when building up a complete HoBao Hyper VS2 buggy from component parts. It's compatible with multiple versions of the popular VS2 platform, whether you're running the electric 4S or 6S RTR versions, or one of the nitro variants powered by the HoBao Hyper 30 or Hyper 21 engines.
Key Features
- CNC Machined Aluminium Construction — The servo tray is manufactured using precision CNC machining techniques, which means every component is cut to exact specifications and maintains perfect consistency. This level of precision engineering ensures the servo mounts perfectly to your chassis, eliminating play and flex that could compromise your steering response during racing or bashing.
- Premium Material Quality — Constructed from high-grade aluminium, this servo tray offers an excellent balance between light weight and structural rigidity. Aluminium naturally resists corrosion better than steel, making it ideal for the demanding environment of competitive RC racing where moisture and dirt are constant challenges.
- Official HoBao Component — As a factory-original part manufactured by HoBao themselves, you can be confident that this servo tray meets all the engineering specifications and quality standards required for the Hyper VS2 platform. Original parts ensure perfect compatibility and reliable performance without compromise.
- Wide Vehicle Compatibility — This servo tray is engineered to fit multiple versions of the HoBao Hyper VS2, whether you're running the HB-VS2E-C100Y (100A ESC electric), HB-VS2E-C150Y (150A ESC electric), HB-VS2E roller electric, or the HB-VS2 nitro variants including HB-VS2-C30Y and HB-VS2-C21Y models. This broad compatibility makes it an excellent parts choice for enthusiasts with multiple VS2 buggies.
- Direct Replacement Solution — If your existing servo tray has been damaged through crash damage or general wear, this replacement part is an exact match for your original equipment, requiring no modification or adaptation to install.
Technical Performance
The HoBao Hyper VS2 CNC Aluminium Servo Tray is engineered to the demanding standards of 1/8 scale competitive RC buggy racing. The CNC machining process ensures that every tray produced meets identical dimensional tolerances, which is critical for maintaining consistent steering geometry and servo response across multiple vehicles. The aluminium material selection represents a thoughtful engineering choice: it provides superior strength-to-weight ratio compared to plastic alternatives, whilst remaining light enough not to negatively impact your buggy's balance and handling characteristics. The servo mounting points are precisely positioned to ensure your servo actuator operates through the correct range of motion without binding or excessive play. This precision is particularly important for high-speed off-road RC racing, where your steering input must be instantly responsive and reliable. Whether you're pushing the limits on a competitive off-road track or enjoying casual bashing with your RC car UK, this servo tray provides the mechanical foundation your steering system depends on. The corrosion-resistant properties of aluminium mean this component will maintain its structural integrity through seasons of use, even when exposed to the wet conditions common in UK RC racing venues.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Is the HoBao Hyper VS2 CNC Aluminium Servo Tray compatible with all VS2 models? — This servo tray is compatible with the complete range of HoBao Hyper VS2 buggies, including the HB-VS2E-C100Y (1/8 electric RTR with 100A ESC), HB-VS2E-C150Y (1/8 electric RTR with 150A ESC), HB-VS2E roller electric buggy, HB-VS2 nitro roller buggy, HB-VS2-C30Y (nitro RTR with Hyper 30 engine), and HB-VS2-C21Y (nitro RTR with Hyper 21 engine). This makes it an excellent choice whether you're running electric or nitro power.
- What makes CNC machined aluminium better than plastic servo trays? — CNC aluminium offers superior precision, strength, and longevity compared to injection-moulded plastic alternatives. The machining process produces exact tolerances that ensure perfect alignment with your chassis, whilst aluminium's material properties provide greater rigidity and flex resistance. This means your steering response remains crisp and your servo actuator operates without unwanted play, which is essential for competitive RC racing performance.
- Do I need any special tools to install this servo tray? — The servo tray installation typically requires basic RC tools including hex drivers and standard screwdrivers, though specific tool requirements depend on your particular buggy configuration and any custom modifications you may have made. We recommend consulting your HoBao Hyper VS2 manual or contacting our RC Model Shop team for detailed installation guidance specific to your setup.
- Will this servo tray fit my roller buggy or do I need the RTR version? — This servo tray is compatible with both roller kits (HB-VS2E and HB-VS2) and the complete ready to run RC buggy variants (HB-VS2E-C100Y, HB-VS2E-C150Y, HB-VS2-C30Y, and HB-VS2-C21Y). It's an interchangeable component across the entire Hyper VS2 platform, making it perfect whether you're building from a roller or maintaining an RTR model.
- Is this an official HoBao part? — Yes, this is a factory-original HoBao component, manufactured to their exact specifications. The part number H85073 is the official designation for the CNC Aluminium Servo Tray within the HoBao Hyper VS2 product line, ensuring you're receiving a genuine component that meets all engineering standards.
