Frequently Asked Questions
- Which HoBao Hyper SS models is this bodyshell compatible with? — This pre-painted black bodyshell is designed to fit both the HBSS-C28B HoBao Hyper SS 1/8 RTR Buggy running the Mach 28 6-port engine and the HBSS-C21B HoBao Hyper SS 1/8 RTR Buggy powered by the Hyper 21 3-port engine. If you own either of these vehicles, this is the genuine OEM replacement or upgrade bodyshell manufactured by HoBao themselves.
- Is this bodyshell ready to use straight from the box? — Yes, the HoBao Hyper SS Printed Bodyshell comes pre-painted in black, so there is no need for additional painting, priming or surface preparation. Simply unbox it and fit it to your chassis using your existing mounting hardware, and your buggy is ready to race or bash.
- What material is this bodyshell made from? — The bodyshell is constructed from polycarbonate, a premium engineering plastic chosen for its light weight and excellent impact resistance. This material provides the durability needed for competitive RC buggy racing whilst minimising the overall weight of your vehicle, preserving the performance and handling characteristics of the Hyper SS chassis.
- Can I paint this bodyshell a different colour? — Whilst the bodyshell arrives pre-painted in black, polycarbonate can be repainted if you wish to customise your RC buggy's appearance. You would need to use paints specifically formulated for plastic, and appropriate surface preparation techniques. However, the factory black finish is applied to professional standards and looks excellent as supplied.
- Is this an OEM HoBao part or an aftermarket replica? — This is a genuine OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) bodyshell made by HoBao themselves, not a third-party aftermarket copy. When you purchase the HoBao Hyper SS Printed Bodyshell, you're buying the exact component that HoBao specifies for the Hyper SS platform, guaranteeing correct specifications, perfect fitment and authentic quality.
- Why would I need a replacement bodyshell? — Bodyshells are expendable components in RC racing and bashing. Over time, impacts, scrapes and general wear can damage or crack a bodyshell. Having a spare HoBao Hyper SS Printed Bodyshell on hand allows you to keep your buggy on the track whilst repairing or refinishing a damaged shell, or to simply refresh the look of your vehicle with a new OEM component.
