Overview
The HoBao Hyper SS/Cage Turnbuckle 4x40mm (2) H90037 is an essential suspension component designed for serious RC enthusiasts who demand precision engineering and reliability from their RC buggies. This spare part is specifically engineered for the HoBao Hyper range of 1/8 scale vehicles, which are renowned throughout the UK RC community for their competitive performance and durability. Whether you're a seasoned racer, a weekend basher, or someone looking to upgrade and maintain your RC car UK collection, these turnbuckles represent a critical investment in your vehicle's suspension setup and overall performance characteristics.
Turnbuckles are fundamental to any RC buggy's suspension geometry and tuning capability. These components allow you to adjust the length of your suspension linkages with precision, enabling fine-tuning of your vehicle's handling characteristics, ride height, and steering response. The HoBao Hyper SS and Cage buggy platforms are competitive 1/8 scale off-road vehicles that benefit enormously from the ability to dial in perfect suspension geometry. This particular set of two turnbuckles measuring 4x40mm provides the exact specifications needed for maintaining or upgrading your HoBao Hyper ready to run RC buggy.
At RC Model Shop, we understand that maintaining and upgrading your RC vehicles is just as important as the initial purchase. Having genuine HoBao spare parts on hand ensures that when wear occurs or when you want to experiment with different suspension setups, you have access to authentic components that meet the original manufacturer specifications. Stock these essential components now and keep your RC buggy performing at its peak throughout the competitive season.
Key Features
- Genuine HoBao Manufacturing — These turnbuckles are manufactured by HoBao, the original equipment producer, ensuring they meet exact specifications and quality standards for your Hyper SS or Cage buggy rather than relying on aftermarket alternatives that may not fit precisely.
- 4x40mm Dimensions — The specific 4x40mm sizing provides the correct engagement length and diameter for your suspension linkage rods, enabling accurate geometry adjustment and reliable performance without binding or excessive play in your suspension.
- Suspension Tuning Capability — These turnbuckles enable you to make micro-adjustments to your suspension geometry, allowing you to fine-tune anti-dive, anti-squat, ride height and overall handling balance to match your driving style and track conditions.
- Dual Pack Offering — Supplied as a pair (2 units), these turnbuckles typically replace both sides of a suspension link, providing complete matched components to maintain symmetrical geometry and balanced vehicle behaviour.
- Compatibility Across Multiple Platforms — These components work with the full range of HoBao Hyper models including the Cage Buggy RTR variants (Orange, Black), the electric Cage roller, and all Hyper SS 1/8 variants with different engine options and the SSe electric versions.
Technical Performance
The HoBao Hyper SS/Cage Turnbuckle represents precision engineering in suspension component design. At 4x40mm, these turnbuckles are engineered to provide the exact length and diameter needed for optimal suspension linkage adjustment on 1/8 scale competitive RC buggies. The construction utilises materials suitable for the demanding conditions of off-road RC racing, where suspension geometry directly impacts handling performance, traction, and overall vehicle stability. In competitive RC racing across the UK, suspension setup is absolutely critical to lap times and consistency. These turnbuckles allow you to adjust your vehicle's geometry to compensate for different track conditions, whether you're running on high-grip asphalt, loose carpet, or outdoor soil and clay surfaces. The ability to make precise length adjustments on your suspension linkages means you can dial in exactly the right amount of anti-dive and anti-squat, control your vehicle's pitch characteristics under acceleration and braking, and ensure your suspension geometry remains true to the vehicle's design specifications. Whether you're experiencing geometry wear, replacing damaged components, or optimising your setup for a specific racing format, these genuine HoBao components ensure your RC buggy maintains the performance envelope that HoBao designed into the Hyper platform.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What is a turnbuckle and why do I need it on my RC buggy? — A turnbuckle is a threaded suspension component that allows you to adjust the length of your suspension linkage rods. By threading the turnbuckle in or out, you change the length of the link, which alters your vehicle's suspension geometry including ride height, anti-dive, anti-squat, and steering characteristics. This tuning capability is essential for competitive racing and for adapting your vehicle's setup to different track conditions and driving styles.
- Will these turnbuckles fit my HoBao Hyper buggy? — Yes, these turnbuckles are specifically designed for HoBao Hyper vehicles. They are compatible with the Hyper Cage Buggy RTR models (both Orange and Black versions), the Hyper Cage Buggy Electric Roller, and all Hyper SS 1/8 RTR variants including those with the Hyper 21 3-port engine, Mach 28 6-port engine, electric rollers, and the Hyper SSe 1/8 RTR models with 100A electronic speed controllers.
- What is the difference between OEM HoBao turnbuckles and aftermarket alternatives? — Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) HoBao turnbuckles are manufactured to exact specifications by HoBao themselves, ensuring perfect fit, correct threading, and precise length measurements. Aftermarket alternatives may have dimensional variations that can affect your suspension geometry and create handling inconsistencies. Using genuine HoBao components ensures your vehicle performs as the engineers intended.
- How often should I replace my turnbuckles? — Turnbuckles should be inspected regularly for damage, stripping of the internal threads, or corrosion. In normal recreational use, they can last a long time, but in competitive racing with frequent setup changes and hard crashes, you may need replacements. Having spare turnbuckles on hand is a smart investment for any serious RC racer.
- Are these suitable for beginners? — While these are spare parts rather than a complete vehicle, they are suitable for any RC enthusiast who is maintaining or upgrading a HoBao Hyper buggy. If you're new to RC and have just purchased a Hyper buggy, it's excellent practice to familiarise yourself with suspension tuning and component replacement. Having spare parts in your pit box ensures you can keep your vehicle running smoothly.
