Key Features
- CNC-Machined Aluminium Construction — This component is precision-engineered using computer numerical control machining techniques on premium-grade aluminium, ensuring perfect geometry, consistent quality and exceptional durability that will withstand repeated track use and aggressive driving.
- Genuine OEM HoBao Part — As an official HoBao component, this rear lower arm holder is manufactured to the exact specifications used in the factory builds, guaranteeing perfect fitment with your VTE2-V2 chassis and compatibility with all related suspension geometry.
- 0 Degree / +4mm Configuration Options — This part is available in two distinct configurations to allow drivers to optimise their suspension geometry for different track conditions, grip levels and driving styles, with the +4mm option providing additional adjustability.
- Critical Suspension Component — The rear lower arm holder is a fundamental element of your suspension geometry, directly affecting anti-roll bar function, corner compliance, weight transfer and overall chassis behaviour throughout the corner.
- Lightweight Yet Rigid — Aluminium construction keeps unsprung mass to a minimum whilst maintaining the rigidity required for precise, predictable handling at high speeds on competitive on-road circuits.
- Direct VTE2-V2 Compatibility — This component is engineered specifically for the HoBao 1/7 Extreme VTE2-V2 platform, ensuring seamless integration with your existing chassis, motor, brushless electronics and transmission systems.
Technical Performance
The rear lower arm holder is a suspension geometry component that directly influences how your HoBao 1/7 electric RC car handles through corners and responds to driver inputs. Manufactured from CNC-machined aluminium, this part provides the structural foundation for your rear anti-roll bar mounting and lower suspension arm geometry. The precision engineering involved in the CNC machining process ensures that the geometry is identical across multiple parts and maintains consistency with HoBao's factory specifications for the VTE2-V2 platform. The aluminium material choice balances weight savings with structural rigidity; it's significantly lighter than steel alternatives whilst maintaining the dimensional stability required for precise suspension tuning. The availability of both 0 degree and +4mm offset configurations allows drivers to fine-tune their suspension compliance and anti-roll bar effectiveness. For 1/7 on-road electric RC cars operating with brushless motors, ESC systems rated for high-performance applications, and multi-cell LiPo battery packs, suspension geometry components like this rear lower holder are critical to extracting maximum performance from your setup. Whether you're running your VTE2-V2 in touring car format or experimenting with different suspension geometries for specific track conditions, having genuine, CNC-precision components ensures that your tuning adjustments have the desired effect rather than being masked by manufacturing tolerances in inferior parts.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What is a rear lower arm holder and why does it matter for my 1/7 RC car? — The rear lower arm holder is a critical suspension geometry component that forms the mounting point for your rear lower suspension arms. It directly affects your anti-roll bar geometry, suspension compliance, and how your HoBao 1/7 on-road electric RC car responds through corners. Precise CNC-machined parts like this ensure your suspension adjustments work as intended rather than being negated by manufacturing tolerances.
- Will this fit my HoBao VTE2-V2 without modification? — Yes, this is a genuine OEM HoBao component manufactured to the exact specifications of the VTE2-V2 chassis. It will fit directly without modification, providing perfect compatibility with your existing suspension system, motor mount and drivetrain.
- What's the difference between the 0 degree and +4mm versions? — The +4mm configuration provides an additional 4mm of offset, which adjusts your suspension geometry and can affect how the chassis leans through corners and how the anti-roll bar reacts to weight transfer. The choice between these depends on your track conditions, grip level, and personal driving preference.
- Is this a wear item I need to replace regularly? — No, the aluminium construction is extremely durable and this component shouldn't require replacement under normal use. However, if you've experienced a significant crash or collision that may have bent the part, replacement ensures your suspension geometry remains precise and your handling is optimised.
- How does this compare to aftermarket rear lower holders? — Genuine HoBao OEM components are precision-engineered to the factory specifications that make the VTE2-V2 platform competitive. Aftermarket alternatives may introduce manufacturing tolerances that affect your suspension geometry and handling precision, whereas original parts maintain the exact geometry HoBao designed.
- Can I upgrade multiple suspension components at once? — Absolutely, and it's often recommended. Many drivers upgrade several suspension components simultaneously to ensure their entire rear suspension geometry is optimised.
