Overview
The HoBao Hyper 7 Screw M3 X 50, Steel Ball, Alum Spacer (H87070) is an essential replacement spare part for owners and enthusiasts of HoBao Hyper series RC buggies and truggies across the UK. Whether you're running a Hyper 7 TQ2, Hyper Cage Buggy, Hyper SS, or Hyper SSTe model, this precision-engineered fastening component is designed to maintain the structural integrity and performance reliability of your RC vehicle. As a dedicated spare part, it represents the kind of meticulous attention to detail that separates genuine manufacturer components from inferior aftermarket alternatives, ensuring your RC car UK investment continues to perform at its best.
This screw assembly combines three essential elements—a precision M3 X 50 screw, steel ball bearing, and aluminium spacer—into a single integrated unit that handles critical load-bearing functions within the chassis and suspension geometry of your HoBao RC buggy or truggy. For any serious RC hobbyist in the UK, maintaining a supply of genuine OEM spares like this H87070 assembly is fundamental to consistent performance, whether you're preparing for competitive racing, weekend bashings, or regular maintenance routines. The steel ball and aluminium spacer configuration provides the exact balance of durability, weight distribution, and precision fitment that HoBao engineers specified for optimal handling characteristics.
Genuine HoBao spare parts are recognised across the global RC community as essential components for keeping your 1/8 scale nitro or electric off-road buggy and truggy models running smoothly. When you order the H87070 from RC Model Shop, you're investing in authentic manufacturer-approved parts that guarantee perfect compatibility with your HoBao chassis, not uncertain imitations that could compromise suspension geometry or structural reliability.
Key Features
- Precision M3 X 50 Screw — The metric M3 diameter with 50mm length provides exact specifications for HoBao suspension and chassis assembly points, ensuring fasteners won't strip, wobble, or fail under the extreme forces experienced during high-speed off-road driving.
- Steel Ball Bearing Integration — The integrated steel ball element reduces friction at pivot and rotation points within your RC buggy's suspension linkage, contributing to smoother steering response, more consistent handling, and longer component lifespan in competitive and recreational driving alike.
- Aluminium Spacer Component — The precision-machined aluminium spacer maintains exact geometric spacing within your chassis and suspension assemblies, which is critical for preserving the suspension geometry tuning that affects cornering behaviour, stability, and overall handling balance across different track surfaces.
- Complete Integrated Assembly — Rather than purchasing individual components separately, this factory-assembled unit arrives ready to install, saving time during maintenance or repair operations and guaranteeing that all three elements are correctly sized and specified for your HoBao model.
- Genuine OEM HoBao Part — As an official HoBao manufacturer component carrying the authentic part number H87070, this spare is guaranteed to meet exact factory specifications and engineering tolerances, unlike generic metric fasteners that may vary in quality and precise dimensions.
- Wide Model Compatibility — This versatile spare part is compatible across multiple HoBao Hyper series platforms including the Hyper 7 TQ2 with Mac 28 or Hyper .21 turbo engines, Hyper Cage Buggy models, Hyper SS nitro and electric variants, and Hyper SSTe truggy platforms, making it a valuable addition to any serious HoBao enthusiast's spares collection.
Technical Performance
The HoBao Hyper 7 Screw M3 X 50, Steel Ball, Alum Spacer assembly represents precision engineering designed for the demanding requirements of 1/8 scale off-road buggy and truggy competition. The steel ball bearing component reduces rotational resistance at critical pivot points, which becomes increasingly important when you're pushing your HoBao through high-speed cornering, aggressive acceleration, and rapid direction changes. The aluminium spacer is lightweight yet rigid, maintaining suspension geometry tolerances without adding unnecessary weight that would compromise the power-to-weight ratio of your nitro or electric powered RC buggy. The M3 X 50 metric screw specification ensures compatibility with the precise tooling requirements of HoBao's factory assembly, meaning you can confidently install this component knowing it will seat properly and hold securely under the vibration and shock loads experienced during typical RC off-road driving. Whether you're running this spare on a Mac 28 turbo engine model or a modern brushless electric configuration, the engineering integrity of this assembly makes it essential maintenance component for any serious RC enthusiast in the UK committed to reliability and performance consistency.

- Why would I need to replace this screw assembly on my HoBao RC buggy? — During regular high-performance use of your RC car in the UK, the constant vibration, acceleration, and cornering forces can eventually wear or strip screw fasteners and their associated bearing elements. Additionally, accidental impacts or crashes that are common during off-road driving can damage these precision components, making replacement necessary to restore suspension geometry and handling characteristics to factory specifications.
- Is this a beginner-friendly replacement part? — Whilst technically accessible to beginners, replacing suspension and chassis fasteners requires mechanical confidence and proper tools (specifically a metric hex wrench or Allen key compatible with M3 screws). Experienced RC enthusiasts will complete this replacement quickly, but beginners may benefit from consulting the HoBao assembly manual or requesting assistance from a knowledgeable RC hobbyist before attempting installation.
- Should I purchase multiple H87070 assemblies as spare parts? — Yes, maintaining a small inventory of common fastening components like this M3 X 50 assembly is sensible practice for any serious HoBao owner, as you may require replacements during maintenance schedules or after impacts during off-road driving sessions. Having spares on hand means you can perform immediate repairs without waiting for delivery from RC retailers.
- How does the steel ball bearing improve my HoBao's performance? — The integrated steel ball bearing reduces friction at suspension pivot and rotation points, which translates to more responsive steering input, smoother directional changes during cornering, and reduced energy loss through the drivetrain during acceleration. Over time, this contributes to more consistent and predictable handling characteristics during both competitive racing and recreational bashing sessions.
