Key Features
- Aluminium Construction — The servo tray mount posts are crafted from durable aluminium rather than plastic, providing superior strength-to-weight ratio and resistance to impacts. This material choice ensures your servo mounting bracket stays rigid and true, preventing flex that could lead to servo drift or misalignment during high-speed cornering and aggressive driving.
- OEM HoBao Component — As genuine HoBao factory parts, these posts are engineered to exacting tolerances and designed specifically for the VS2 platform. Using authentic OEM components guarantees perfect fitment with your existing servo tray assembly, eliminating compatibility issues that can arise with aftermarket alternatives.
- Enhanced Durability — Aluminium offers superior durability compared to plastic alternatives, resisting cracks and permanent deformation even after repeated impacts and hard landings. This means your servo mounting system will maintain its structural integrity throughout many seasons of competitive RC racing and bashing.
- Universal VS2 Compatibility — These posts are compatible across the entire HoBao Hyper VS2 product range, including all electric models (VS2E, VS2E-C100Y with 4S ESC, VS2E-C150Y with 6S ESC) and all nitro variants (VS2, VS2-C21Y, VS2-C30Y). This compatibility makes them a smart investment if you plan to maintain multiple VS2 platforms or upgrade between electric and nitro models.
- Precise Servo Mounting — These posts establish a precise servo mounting platform that maintains optimal servo positioning and alignment. Proper servo mounting is critical for ensuring responsive steering control, accurate trim settings, and predictable handling characteristics in your RC buggy.
Technical Performance
The HoBao HYPER VS2 Aluminium Servo Tray Mount Posts represent a significant upgrade over standard plastic mounting solutions commonly found on entry-level RC buggies. The aluminium construction provides exceptional rigidity and vibration damping, which directly translates to more responsive steering inputs and improved handling precision during competitive racing. When your servo tray remains rock-solid under the stresses of high-speed cornering, hard braking, and aggressive acceleration, your RC buggy performs at its peak potential. The posts are engineered to maintain dimensional stability across temperature variations, ensuring that your servo alignment remains consistent whether you're racing during cold UK winter months or warm summer sessions. The material's natural fatigue resistance means these components will outlast plastic alternatives by a significant margin, particularly if you frequently bash your RC buggy or compete in intensive racing programmes. For users running the HoBao Hyper VS2 platform—whether powered by brushless electric motors with 4S or 6S LiPo batteries, or high-performance nitro engines like the Hyper 21 and Hyper 30—these servo mount posts provide the structural foundation necessary for reliable, responsive steering control throughout extended driving sessions.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Are these servo tray mount posts compatible with my HoBao Hyper VS2 buggy? — Yes, the H85085 posts are fully compatible with all HoBao Hyper VS2 models. Compatibility includes the HB-VS2E-C100Y with 4S 100A ESC, the HB-VS2E with electric roller configuration, the HB-VS2E-C150Y with 6S 150A ESC, the HB-VS2 nitro roller buggy, the HB-VS2-C30Y with Hyper 30 engine, and the HB-VS2-C21Y with Hyper 21 engine. Regardless of whether you run electric or nitro power, these posts will fit your servo tray assembly.
- Why should I upgrade to aluminium servo mount posts instead of using plastic? — Aluminium servo mount posts offer substantially better durability and structural rigidity compared to plastic alternatives. Plastic posts can crack under impact, flex under servo load, and degrade over time from UV exposure and temperature cycling. Aluminium maintains its shape and strength indefinitely, resists impacts that would crack plastic, and provides superior vibration damping for more responsive steering control. If you bash your RC buggy regularly or compete in racing events, upgrading to aluminium posts is a worthwhile investment in reliability.
- Will these posts improve my buggy's handling? — Yes, upgrading to rigid aluminium servo tray mount posts can noticeably improve handling response and steering precision. By eliminating flex and movement in the servo mounting system, your steering inputs transmit more directly to the front wheels without the delay that occurs when plastic posts flex under cornering forces. This results in more responsive steering feel and better overall handling performance during competitive racing and aggressive bashing.
- Are these official HoBao factory components? — Yes, the H85085 servo tray mount posts are genuine OEM HoBao parts manufactured to the same exacting standards as the complete VS2 buggy. Using authentic factory components ensures perfect fitment, optimal performance, and long-term reliability. Choosing OEM parts over generic aftermarket alternatives eliminates compatibility risks and guarantees you're installing products designed specifically for your buggy.
- What tools do I need to install these posts? — Basic RC hobby tools are typically required for installation, including a hex key set for fastener assembly and potentially a screwdriver for securing the posts to your servo tray. The exact installation procedure and specific fastener sizes are detailed in your HoBao Hyper VS2 instruction manual or available from HoBao's technical support.
