Key Features
- Compatible with Multiple HoBao Hyper Models — This shock tower works with an extensive range of HoBao Hyper variants, including the Hyper Cage Buggy RTR in both Orange and Black finishes with Mach 28 engines, the Hyper Cage Buggy Electric Roller, the Hyper SS 1/8 RTR Buggy with Hyper 21 3-port and Mach 28 6-port engines, and the Hyper SSe electric variants with 100A controllers in both Black and Blue.

- Genuine OEM HoBao Component — Manufactured by HoBao as an authentic replacement part, this shock tower is engineered to the exact specifications required for proper suspension function and alignment on Hyper platform buggies. Using genuine parts ensures you maintain the precise tolerances and fit that HoBao designed into the chassis, rather than risking compatibility issues with aftermarket alternatives.
- Essential Chassis Spare Part — As a front shock tower, this component is a critical part of your buggy's suspension mounting system. It provides the structural support that holds your shock absorbers and suspension arms in the correct geometry, making it vital for handling performance, cornering stability and overall driving characteristics across different track conditions.
- Quality Durability and Reliability — HoBao Hyper platform buggies are known for their robust construction and performance credentials in competitive 1/8 scale racing. This shock tower maintains the same durability standards, offering reliable service life even under the demanding conditions of regular use, jumps, hard landings and aggressive cornering that RC buggies encounter.
Technical Performance
The HoBao Hyper SS/Cage Front Shock Tower is engineered as a structural chassis component that forms part of the suspension mounting system on 1/8 scale HoBao Hyper buggies. This part is critical to maintaining proper suspension geometry and alignment, which directly influences how your RC buggy handles and performs across different terrain. The shock tower must be precisely dimensioned to ensure that shock absorbers, suspension arms and linkages are positioned at the correct angles and heights relative to the chassis. Any damage or wear to the shock tower can result in misalignment, which degrades handling characteristics, increases tyre wear, and can lead to unpredictable behaviour during high-speed driving or aggressive manoeuvres. The Hyper platform represents HoBao's 1/8 scale off-road racing solution, and this front shock tower is a direct OEM component engineered to work seamlessly within that system. Whether you're running a nitro-powered Hyper SS with a Mach 28 or Hyper 21 engine, or opting for electric power with the SSe variant and Hobbywing 100A ESC, this shock tower maintains consistent compatibility and performance. Regular inspection and replacement of suspension components like the shock tower ensures your RC buggy maintains optimal performance and helps prevent secondary damage that could result from driving with compromised suspension geometry.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What HoBao Hyper models is this front shock tower compatible with? — This shock tower is compatible with a comprehensive range of HoBao Hyper platform buggies, including the Hyper Cage Buggy RTR with Mach 28 engine in Orange (HBCB-C28RG) and Black (HBCB-C28B) finishes, the Hyper Cage Buggy Electric Roller (HBCBE), the Hyper SS 1/8 RTR Buggy with Hyper 21 3-port engine (HBSS-C21B) and Mach 28 6-port engine (HBSS-C28B), the Hyper SSe 1/8 RTR Buggy with 100A ESC in Black (HBSSE-C100B) and Blue (HBSSE-C100BU), and the Hyper SS 1/8th Buggy Electric Roller (HBSSE). If you own any of these models, this is the correct replacement part.
- Why would I need to replace my front shock tower? — The shock tower can become damaged through hard crashes, impacts during aggressive landings from jumps, or general wear from extended use. Even small cracks or bending can affect suspension geometry and handling. If you notice your buggy handling differently, pulling to one side, or exhibiting unstable behaviour during cornering, the shock tower should be inspected and may need replacement to restore proper suspension alignment and performance.
- Is this a genuine HoBao part? — Yes, this is an authentic OEM HoBao component manufactured to original specifications. The part number H90039 is the official designation, and it carries the manufacturer's EAN code 4717677170450 for verification. Purchasing genuine parts ensures perfect fit and compatibility with your buggy's suspension system.
- What is this part and why is it important? — The shock tower is the structural component that mounts your shock absorbers and suspension arms to the buggy chassis. It holds these components at precise angles and heights to maintain proper suspension geometry. Without correct suspension geometry, your buggy will not handle predictably, tyres will wear unevenly, and overall performance will suffer. Maintaining a quality shock tower is essential for reliable RC buggy performance.
- Can I use this on both nitro and electric HoBao Hyper buggies? — Yes, this shock tower is compatible with both nitro-powered variants (Hyper SS with Hyper 21 or Mach 28 engines) and electric variants (Hyper SSe with Hobbywing 100A ESC). The shock tower component itself is identical across these platform variants, so it works universally on compatible Hyper models.
