Key Features

• Aluminium 7075 Construction — These balls are manufactured from high-grade aluminium 7075 alloy, which provides an excellent balance of lightweight properties and strength, ensuring your RC buggy maintains smooth operation without unnecessary weight penalties that could affect handling and acceleration.
• 6.8mm Diameter Size — The precise 6.8mm diameter is specifically engineered to fit the Hobao Hyper VS2 drivetrain and suspension geometry, guaranteeing compatibility and proper fit when replacing worn bearings in your RC model.
• OEM Hobao Component — As a genuine factory part direct from Hobao, these balls are manufactured to the exact specifications required by the Hyper VS2 platform, ensuring they perform identically to the original equipment and maintain the buggy's intended performance characteristics.
• Reduced Friction Performance — High-quality ball bearings minimise friction within the drivetrain and suspension, allowing your 1/8 scale RC buggy to transfer power more efficiently and maintain consistent handling characteristics throughout a race or bashing session.
• Compatible with Multiple Hyper VS2 Variants — These balls work across the entire Hobao Hyper VS2 range, whether you're running the electric RTR models with 4S or 6S ESC systems, or the nitro-powered variants with the Hyper 30 or Hyper 21 engines, making them a versatile spare part for dedicated VS2 owners.

Technical Performance

The Hobao Hyper VS2 Alum 7075 Balls 6.8mm represent precision engineering designed to enhance and maintain the performance of one of the most respected 1/8 scale buggy platforms in the UK RC market. The aluminium 7075 alloy used in these balls is chosen specifically for its strength-to-weight ratio, a critical consideration in competitive RC buggy racing where every fraction of a gram matters. These balls are integrated throughout the Hyper VS2's drivetrain and suspension systems, serving as the critical contact points that allow the suspension to articulate smoothly and the drive system to transfer power with minimal energy loss. The 6.8mm diameter is precision-manufactured to exacting tolerances, ensuring smooth rolling and proper fit within the Hobao-designed bearing races. Whether you're running the electric versions—the HB-VS2E-C100Y with its 4S 100A ESC system, the HB-VS2E standalone roller buggy, or the HB-VS2E-C150Y with 6S 150A ESC—or choosing the nitro-powered alternatives like the HB-VS2-C30Y or HB-VS2-C21Y models, these ball bearings maintain consistent performance across the range. Over time and with extended use, ball bearings naturally wear and can develop flat spots or lose their perfectly spherical shape, which increases drag and reduces responsiveness. Replacing worn bearings with genuine Hobao 7075 balls restores your buggy to like-new handling characteristics and ensures smooth operation in both the suspension and drivetrain.
