Technical Performance
The HoBao Hyper 7 22 degree C-Hub H87301 represents precision engineering in RC suspension components. As a suspension geometry part, the C-hub is responsible for positioning the upper suspension arms at the correct angle relative to the chassis, which in turn determines how effectively your RC buggy's suspension responds to track forces. The 22-degree specification is a carefully calculated angle that balances stability during acceleration and braking with agility during cornering manoeuvres. This component interfaces directly with your HoBao Hyper 7's front end geometry, making it crucial for maintaining the vehicle's handling balance and predictability. The precision manufacturing ensures that this part maintains exact dimensional tolerances, which is particularly important in RC racing where even small variations in suspension geometry can affect performance. Whether you're running the Hyper 7 with a Mac 28 Turbo Engine, the Hyper .21 Turbo Engine, or using the Hyper ST Truggy platform, maintaining correct suspension geometry through genuine HoBao components like this C-hub ensures your vehicle performs as the engineers intended. The durability of this component is critical, as suspension parts experience constant stress during acceleration, braking, and cornering, making it a wear item that may require periodic replacement in competitive or high-usage scenarios.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What is a C-hub and why does my HoBao Hyper 7 need one? — A C-hub is a suspension component that connects your RC buggy's upper suspension arms to the steering geometry. It's crucial for maintaining the correct suspension angles and directly affects your vehicle's handling, cornering performance, and overall drivability. If your current C-hub is damaged or worn, replacing it with this genuine HoBao part restores your Hyper 7's factory suspension geometry and performance characteristics.
- Is this a genuine HoBao part? — Yes, the H87301 is a genuine HoBao manufacturer part, identifiable by the part number and EAN code 4717677177060. Purchasing genuine components ensures you maintain the exact specifications and quality standards that HoBao designed into the Hyper 7 platform.
- Which HoBao Hyper 7 models is this compatible with? — This C-hub is compatible with the HBM7-TQC28DG Hyper 7 TQ2 RTR with Mac 28 Turbo Engine, the HBM7-TQC21DG Hyper 7 TQ2 RTR with Hyper .21 Turbo Engine 2.4GHz Radio in black, the HBM7-TQC28BU Hyper 7 TQ2 RTR with Mac 28 Turbo Engine and 2.4GHz Radio in blue, the HBM7-ST-PRO Hyper ST Truggy Pro, and the HBM7-ST Hyper ST Truggy RTR. If you own any of these ready to run RC buggy or truggy models, this component is designed to fit your vehicle.
- What does the 22-degree specification mean? — The 22-degree angle refers to the geometric angle at which this C-hub positions the suspension arms relative to the chassis and steering axis. This specific angle is a suspension tuning specification that affects how your RC buggy's wheels align during cornering and how the suspension responds to track forces. Different angle specifications would alter your vehicle's handling balance.
- Do I need any additional parts to install this? — The C-hub is a direct replacement component, so no additional parts are typically required for installation. However, you may want to have ball joints, fasteners, and any associated suspension arms on hand if you're performing a complete suspension rebuild.
- Is this suitable for beginners? — This is a replacement spares component rather than a complete vehicle, so it's designed for RC enthusiasts who are already familiar with their HoBao Hyper 7 platform and comfortable performing suspension maintenance or repairs. If you're new to RC buggies and need a complete ready to run RC car to start with, you should consider a full HoBao Hyper 7 RTR package instead.
- What is the difference between this and other suspension components? — The key differentiator is the 22-degree angle specification, which determines the suspension geometry. HoBao offers C-hubs at different angles to allow tuning of your vehicle's handling characteristics. This 22-degree version provides a specific balance of stability and cornering responsiveness that suits a range of track conditions and driving styles within the competitive RC buggy community.
