Overview
The HOBAO HYPER VS2 SERVO SAVER ARM H85113 is an essential replacement component for owners of the HOBAO Hyper VS2 1/8 scale buggy platform. Whether you run the electric or nitro variant of this popular competition-level buggy, this servo saver arm is a critical part of your steering linkage system that protects your servo from damage during high-impact driving situations. Servo savers have been a staple of quality RC car UK designs for years, and this genuine HOBAO part ensures your steering remains precise and responsive whilst safeguarding your expensive servo equipment from the shock loads that come with aggressive off-road driving.
Built to OEM specifications, the H85113 servo saver arm maintains the exact geometry and performance characteristics that HOBAO engineers designed into the Hyper VS2 chassis. This replacement part is ideal for drivers who have experienced servo damage, need a spare for competition use, or are rebuilding their buggy after a crash. The servo saver arm is a wear item that may need periodic replacement depending on your driving style and maintenance schedule, making it a smart part to keep in your spares box.
Compatible with the entire Hyper VS2 range including the 4S 100A ESC variant, the 6S 150A ESC variant, and all nitro models featuring the Hyper 21 and Hyper 30 engines, this part is versatile enough for any VS2 owner to keep on hand. If you're serious about your RC buggy performance and want to avoid costly servo replacements, the servo saver arm is a critical investment in protecting your setup.
Key Features
- Genuine OEM Component — This is the authentic HOBAO factory part designed specifically for the Hyper VS2 buggy platform, ensuring perfect fitment and compatibility with your chassis without any modification or adjustment required.
- Servo Protection — The servo saver arm absorbs and dissipates the shock loads that occur during hard collisions and aggressive driving, preventing sudden servo damage that could sideline your RC car at a crucial moment during competition or weekend bashing sessions.
- Precise Steering Geometry — Manufactured to exact OEM specifications, this component maintains the factory steering geometry and response characteristics that HOBAO designed into the Hyper VS2, preserving the handling balance of your buggy.
- Universal VS2 Compatibility — Works with all variants of the Hyper VS2 range including electric models with 4S and 6S power systems, as well as nitro models running Hyper 21 and Hyper 30 engines, making it a single spare part suitable for multiple chassis variants.
- Reliable Wear Item — As a consumable component that experiences regular stress during driving, keeping a spare H85113 servo saver arm ensures you're never without a replacement when your existing part wears or breaks.
Technical Performance
The HOBAO Hyper VS2 servo saver arm is engineered as a precision-machined component designed to work seamlessly within the steering linkage system of the 1/8 scale Hyper VS2 buggy. This part serves a critical mechanical function in the steering train, connecting the servo output to the steering linkage whilst allowing controlled deflection to protect the servo gearbox from sudden impact loads that would otherwise cause stripping or binding. The component is manufactured to rigid tolerances to ensure consistent performance and steering response across all driving conditions, whether you're pushing the buggy hard in competition or enjoying casual weekend driving sessions. The design has been proven across thousands of Hyper VS2 units in the hands of serious RC enthusiasts and competitive drivers worldwide, validating its durability and reliability. For electric-powered VS2 models running either 4S 100A or 6S 150A ESC configurations, the servo saver arm performs identically, and for nitro users running either Hyper 21 or Hyper 30 turbocharged engines, the part withstands the consistent steering demand of fuel-powered driving. Regular inspection and replacement when wear is detected will maintain your buggy's steering response at peak performance levels.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What is a servo saver arm and why does my RC buggy need one? — A servo saver arm is a mechanical component in your steering linkage that absorbs the shock loads from collisions and hard landings, protecting your servo from damage. Without a servo saver, sudden impacts can cause your servo motor to strip its internal gears or bind, resulting in expensive repairs or replacement. The H85113 dissipates these loads, allowing your servo to survive aggressive off-road driving.
- Is the H85113 compatible with all Hyper VS2 variants? — Yes, this servo saver arm is compatible with all versions of the Hyper VS2 including the HB-VS2E-C100Y electric model with 4S 100A ESC, the HB-VS2E-C150Y with 6S 150A ESC, the HB-VS2E roller buggy, the HB-VS2 nitro roller buggy, the HB-VS2-C30Y with Hyper 30 engine, and the HB-VS2-C21Y with Hyper 21 engine.
- How often should I replace my servo saver arm? — Replacement frequency depends on your driving style and maintenance habits. Aggressive drivers and those who frequently crash will need replacements more often than casual drivers. Inspect your servo saver arm regularly during maintenance, and replace it if you notice any cracks, permanent deformation, or looseness in the connection points.
- Will this part fit my existing VS2 chassis without modification? — Yes, as an authentic OEM HOBAO component, the H85113 servo saver arm is designed to fit directly into your Hyper VS2 chassis with no modifications or adjustments needed, assuming your chassis is a genuine Hyper VS2 model.
- What is the difference between this and aftermarket servo saver arms? — This is the genuine factory component designed by HOBAO engineers specifically for the Hyper VS2, ensuring perfect geometry and performance characteristics. It maintains the exact steering response and load distribution that the chassis was engineered around, whereas aftermarket alternatives may alter handling characteristics or fit inconsistently.
