Key Features

• CNC Aluminium Construction — The use of computer-machined aluminium provides exceptional strength-to-weight ratio, offering durability without adding unnecessary mass to your RC buggy. Aluminium also offers excellent heat dissipation properties, which is important when housing a nitro engine that generates considerable heat during operation.
• Precision Engineering — CNC machining guarantees accurate dimensions and tolerances, ensuring perfect fitment with your Hyper VS2 frame and engine assembly. This precision reduces vibration and improves the overall stability of your vehicle during high-speed runs and technical cornering.
• OEM HoBao Specification — As an official HoBao spare part, this engine mount meets the manufacturer's exacting standards and is designed to work seamlessly with your Hyper VS2 nitro buggy. Using genuine parts eliminates compatibility issues and ensures optimal performance.
• Replacement Component — This is a direct replacement part for damaged or worn engine mounts, allowing you to restore your RC buggy to factory specifications without requiring any modifications or additional parts.

Technical Performance

The HOBAO HYPER VS2 CNC Aluminium Engine Mount represents the kind of engineering excellence you'd expect from a manufacturer dedicated to producing high-quality RC vehicles and components. The CNC machining process ensures that every mount has perfect dimensional accuracy, critical tolerances that cannot be achieved through manual production methods. Aluminium is the material of choice for this application because it offers an optimal balance of strength and lightweight construction—essential factors in 1/8 scale RC buggy performance. The engine mount's primary function is to securely position the Hyper 21 or Hyper 30 engines (depending on which VS2 variant you own) whilst maintaining precise alignment with the rest of the drivetrain. Proper engine mounting is crucial because even minor misalignment can affect engine performance, increase wear on transmission components, and reduce the overall reliability of your RC car. The rigid aluminium construction minimises deflection under the intense vibration and stress generated by a running nitro engine, maintaining consistent performance lap after lap. Whether you're running casual weekend bash sessions or preparing your RC buggy for competitive track days, having a solid, undamaged engine mount is non-negotiable for maintaining the mechanical integrity of your vehicle.
