Technical Performance
The HoBao Hyper 7/VS Crown Gear H87001 represents precision engineering in a single component. As a 43-tooth crown gear, this part is dimensionally engineered to work seamlessly within the HoBao Hyper differential assembly, transmitting power efficiently from the motor shaft to the main drive axles. Crown gears are constructed from hardened steel or reinforced composite materials depending on the specific model application, providing exceptional durability under the stresses of high-speed racing and aggressive off-road driving. The 43-tooth specification is carefully calibrated to deliver the optimal balance between acceleration and top speed for the Hyper platform, whether powered by electric brushless motors or high-revving nitro engines. The gear's tooth profile is precision-ground to ensure smooth mesh with the pinion gear, reducing backlash and vibration that would otherwise limit performance and component longevity. This is the genuine HoBao part, not a third-party alternative, which means it meets all factory specifications for material composition, tooth geometry, and dynamic balance. For users maintaining competition-grade RC buggies and on-road vehicles, using only OEM components ensures your machine remains in perfect working order and competitive condition. The crown gear's robust construction means it will withstand repeated cycles of acceleration, braking, and cornering without degrading, making it suitable for everything from casual weekend bashing to intensive track sessions.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What vehicles does the HoBao H87001 crown gear fit? — This crown gear is compatible with the HoBao Hyper M7TQ nitro buggy, the Hyper VS electric and nitro variants, the Hyper VT electric on-road model, and the Hyper VT nitro on-road model. It's a universal replacement for all these platforms.
- When should I replace my crown gear? — Crown gears should be replaced if you notice grinding noises from the drivetrain, hesitation during acceleration, slipping under load, or visible damage to the teeth. For racing use, many competitors replace crown gears preventatively after heavy track sessions to ensure optimal performance.

- Why should I buy an OEM HoBao crown gear instead of an aftermarket alternative? — OEM HoBao parts are manufactured to exact factory specifications, guaranteeing perfect fit, optimal performance, and reliability. Aftermarket alternatives may have slightly different dimensions or material properties that can cause noise, premature wear, or drivetrain issues.
- Does this come as part of a complete repair kit? — No, the H87001 is sold individually as a replacement crown gear. If you need additional drivetrain components such as differential parts, pinion gears, or drive shafts, these should be ordered separately.
