Overview
The HoBao Hyper 9 Front Upper Arms (2) H89018 are essential suspension replacement components designed for the HoBao Hyper 9 RC buggy. Whether you're a dedicated RC enthusiast maintaining your competition vehicle or a weekend basher looking to restore your Hyper 9 to peak performance, these genuine OEM suspension parts are the perfect solution. Suspension wear is inevitable in RC racing and off-road driving, and having quality replacement arms ensures your RC car UK performance remains consistent and reliable.
These front upper arms are critical suspension geometry components that directly affect handling, stability and cornering performance.

This two-piece pack gives you a complete front upper arm set, allowing you to maintain or upgrade your suspension setup without compromise.
Available as a genuine HoBao spare part through RC Model Shop, these front upper arms represent outstanding value at just £7.12. For anyone serious about RC car maintenance and wanting to preserve the handling characteristics of their Hyper 9 buggy, these suspension arms are an essential addition to your spares box.

Technical Performance
The HoBao Hyper 9 represents a refined platform in competitive RC buggy racing, and maintaining its suspension geometry is essential for consistent performance. Front upper arms are precision-engineered suspension links that establish the critical connection between the steering knuckles and suspension pivot points, directly influencing camber angle, caster geometry and overall handling balance. These genuine HoBao suspension arms are manufactured to exacting standards to ensure that when installed, your Hyper 9 returns to its original suspension geometry and handling characteristics. Whether you're experiencing worn suspension from competitive racing, track testing or recreational bashing, replacement arms restore the precision handling that makes the Hyper 9 a respected choice among RC buggy enthusiasts across the UK. The engineering and build quality of genuine HoBao spares ensures durability through repeated use, maintaining the critical suspension alignment that affects everything from corner speed to acceleration stability. For anyone invested in their RC car UK setup, maintaining proper suspension geometry with genuine components is far more cost-effective than dealing with performance degradation or handling unpredictability.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Are these genuine HoBao parts or aftermarket alternatives? — These are authentic genuine HoBao OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) components, specifically engineered for the Hyper 9 platform. Genuine spares ensure perfect fitment and maintain your buggy's handling characteristics exactly as designed by HoBao.
- Why would I need replacement front upper arms for my Hyper 9? — Front upper arms are suspension components subject to wear and damage through regular use. They can bend from impacts, wear from friction at pivot points, or break from aggressive racing. Replacing them restores your suspension geometry and handling performance to factory specification.
- How do I know if my front upper arms need replacing? — Signs of worn or damaged front upper arms include inconsistent handling, pulling to one side, unusual tyre wear patterns, or visible bending or cracks in the arms themselves. If you've had a significant impact or crash, inspection is recommended.
- Do I need any tools to install these front upper arms? — Installation requires basic RC maintenance tools including hex drivers and potentially a ball-end tool set to disconnect the arms from pivot points. If you're unfamiliar with suspension work, our experienced team at RC Model Shop can offer guidance.
- What is the difference between front upper and lower arms? — Front upper arms connect the steering knuckle to the upper suspension pivot, while lower arms connect to the lower pivot point. Both are essential for proper suspension geometry, and both sets should be maintained in good condition for optimal handling.
- Can these arms be used as spares or replacements in a race setup? — Absolutely. Whether you're maintaining a competition buggy or keeping spares for track days, having quality replacement suspension arms ensures you can quickly swap worn components and get back to racing without downtime.
