The HoBao HYPER EXTREME VTE2 1/7 CNC Aluminium 7075 Rear Suspension Mount (H85127) is a premium performance upgrade part designed for serious RC enthusiasts running HoBao's legendary 1/7 scale on-road electric vehicles. This precision-engineered suspension component represents the pinnacle of CNC manufacturing and material science, offering uncompromising durability and handling refinement for competitive RC car racing and high-performance bashers across the UK. Whether you're upgrading your existing HoBao VTE2 platform or building a competition-grade setup, this rear suspension mount delivers the rigid, responsive handling characteristics that distinguish professional-grade RC cars from standard hobby-grade alternatives.
HoBao is internationally recognised for producing some of the finest 1/7 and 1/8 scale on-road electric RC cars available, with a reputation built on precision engineering, innovative design, and components that can withstand the demands of serious competition. The VTE2 platform has earned respect from RC racing communities worldwide, and this CNC aluminium rear suspension mount is a testament to that commitment to excellence. For UK RC enthusiasts seeking genuine, authorised HoBao upgrade parts with proven performance credentials, this suspension mount represents an investment in reliability and competitive advantage.
This component is specifically engineered to be compatible with two key HoBao platforms: the HB-VTE2-V2 (HoBao 1/7 Extreme VTE2-V2 On-Road Electric ARR) and the HB-VTE2-8 (HoBao Extreme VTE2 1/8 On Road EP Roller 80% Pre-Assembled). The precision CNC manufacturing process ensures perfect tolerances, whilst the aerospace-grade 7075 aluminium alloy provides exceptional strength-to-weight ratio essential for maintaining responsive suspension geometry under extreme racing conditions.
Key Features
- CNC-Machined Construction — Every detail of this rear suspension mount is precision-manufactured using CNC (Computer Numerical Control) technology, ensuring absolute consistency between individual units and perfect alignment with mating components on your RC car. This level of precision directly translates to predictable handling, reduced play in the suspension geometry, and improved overall vehicle control at high speeds.
- 7075 Aluminium Alloy Material — This rear suspension mount is crafted from aerospace-grade 7075 aluminium, one of the strongest aluminium alloys available in the RC hobby. This material choice provides exceptional rigidity whilst keeping weight to a minimum, which is critical for maintaining responsive handling and reducing unsprung mass that can negatively impact suspension performance.
- Optimised Rear Suspension Geometry — The design of this component directly influences your RC car's rear suspension characteristics, affecting camber angle, anti-squat, and compliance. A quality rear suspension mount ensures your suspension geometry remains consistent lap after lap, delivering predictable handling that competitive drivers rely upon.
- HoBao Original Equipment — As an official HoBao part, this component is engineered to exact specifications and tolerances that HoBao's design engineers specified for the VTE2 platform. Using genuine OEM parts ensures compatibility, performance, and longevity that clone or off-brand alternatives simply cannot guarantee.
- Dual Platform Compatibility — This rear suspension mount fits both the 1/7 scale HB-VTE2-V2 and the 1/8 scale HB-VTE2-8, making it a versatile upgrade or replacement part for owners of either model within the VTE2 family, providing value for users with multiple vehicles in their RC collection.
- Professional-Grade Upgrade Option — Whether you're replacing a worn component or upgrading from stock parts, this CNC aluminium mount elevates your vehicle's suspension performance and handling characteristics to a level expected in competitive RC racing across the UK.
Technical Performance
The engineering excellence embedded in this HoBao rear suspension mount reflects the brand's commitment to delivering components that perform consistently under the demanding conditions of on-road RC racing. Manufactured using advanced CNC machining technology, every dimension, angle, and surface finish is held to exacting tolerances that ensure this component integrates seamlessly with your VTE2 platform's suspension system. The aerospace-grade 7075 aluminium alloy chosen for this mount offers superior strength compared to softer aluminium grades, providing the rigidity necessary to maintain suspension geometry whilst under load and during aggressive cornering manoeuvres characteristic of high-speed on-road racing. This material selection means less deflection in the suspension mounting points, which directly improves handling consistency and allows drivers to maintain precise control even when pushing their RC cars to the limit. The precision CNC manufacturing process eliminates the dimensional inconsistencies common in lower-cost alternatives, ensuring that every mounting surface contacts perfectly with adjacent components. For serious RC car UK racers and enthusiasts, this level of engineering translates to measurable performance advantages: improved cornering grip, more predictable weight transfer characteristics, reduced unsprung mass effects, and suspension geometry that remains constant from the first lap to the last. Whether you're competing in UK RC racing series or simply demanding the best performance from your HoBao VTE2, this rear suspension mount delivers the durability and precision expected of professional-grade RC components.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What is a rear suspension mount and why does it matter for my RC car? — A rear suspension mount is the structural component that connects your vehicle's suspension system to the main chassis. It directly influences your RC car's handling characteristics by determining suspension geometry angles such as camber, anti-squat, and compliance. A precision-engineered CNC aluminium mount like this one ensures these geometry angles remain consistent under load, delivering predictable and responsive handling that drivers can rely upon during competitive racing or high-speed driving.
- Is this part suitable for both competition racing and casual bashing? — Absolutely. While this component is engineered to professional standards that satisfy competitive RC racing requirements, it's equally beneficial for casual enthusiasts who want the best possible performance and durability from their HoBao VTE2. The precision manufacturing ensures reliability in any driving scenario, whether you're circuit racing or enjoying high-speed runs at your local RC track.
- What is the difference between CNC machined parts and standard cast or moulded parts? — CNC machined parts like this rear suspension mount are cut from solid material using computer-controlled precision tools, resulting in exact tolerances and uniform quality. Cast or moulded alternatives typically have dimensional variations, surface irregularities, and less consistent material properties. For RC vehicles where handling precision matters, CNC parts deliver superior performance and reliability.
- Will this part fit my HoBao VTE2? — This rear suspension mount is specifically designed for compatibility with two HoBao models: the HB-VTE2-V2 (HoBao 1/7 Extreme VTE2-V2 On-Road Electric ARR) and the HB-VTE2-8 (HoBao Extreme VTE2 1/8 On Road EP Roller 80% Pre-Assembled). If your vehicle matches either of these models, this mount will fit perfectly. Always verify your specific model number before ordering.
- Why choose 7075 aluminium over other materials? — 7075 aluminium is one of the strongest aluminium alloys available, offering excellent strength-to-weight ratio. For RC suspension components, this means you get maximum rigidity with minimal weight addition, which improves handling responsiveness. The material's durability also means this mount will withstand thousands of kilometres of hard driving without permanent deformation.
- Is this an original HoBao part? — Yes, this is an official HoBao genuine part (model number H85127), manufactured to exact HoBao specifications. Purchasing genuine OEM parts ensures compatibility with your vehicle and guarantees the quality standards HoBao designed into the VTE2 platform.
