Overview

The HoBao Hyper SS/VS/VS2/Cage/MT Rear Shock Springs are precision-engineered suspension components designed for serious RC enthusiasts who demand reliability and performance from their 1/8 scale buggies, trugies and monster trucks. These silver rear shock springs are compatible with multiple HoBao Hyper platforms, making them an essential upgrade or replacement part for anyone running a competitive RC car in the UK.

HoBao is recognised globally as a manufacturer of high-performance RC vehicles and spare parts, delivering competition-grade engineering at accessible prices.

If you're looking to maintain your RC buggy or upgrade your suspension setup, these springs offer genuine OEM quality you can trust.

Available from RC Model Shop, your authorised HoBao dealer in the UK, these rear shock springs are stocked and ready to despatch. Whether you're repairing wear and tear from aggressive bashing or fine-tuning your suspension geometry for track racing, these springs deliver the performance and durability that competitive RC drivers demand.

Key Features

• Compatibility across multiple HoBao platforms — These rear shock springs fit the HoBao Hyper SS, Cage, VS2, MT and related models, making them a versatile choice for users running multiple vehicles or planning to upgrade their entire fleet with consistent suspension components.
• 80mm length specification — The 80mm dimension is precisely engineered to work with HoBao's standard 17mm big bore oil-filled shocks, ensuring correct ride height and suspension travel for optimal handling dynamics.
• 0.9kgf spring rate — The 0.9 kilogram-force spring rate is designed for balanced suspension performance, providing adequate support for the vehicle's weight whilst maintaining compliance over bumps and jumps, crucial for maintaining traction and predictable handling.
• Silver finish — The silver coating not only provides an attractive appearance but also offers protection against corrosion and wear, extending the service life of your suspension components when used in all-weather UK racing conditions.
• Pair supply — Each pack contains two springs, allowing you to replace both rear springs simultaneously for balanced and consistent suspension performance across the rear axle.
• OEM quality manufacturing — These are genuine HoBao components manufactured to the same exacting standards as the springs supplied with factory-built HoBao Hyper RTR models, ensuring fitment precision and performance consistency.

Technical Performance

The HoBao Hyper platform is built around extensively engineered suspension geometry designed to deliver reliable, predictable performance across grass, dirt, and mixed terrain. The rear shock springs work in conjunction with HoBao's signature 17mm big bore oil-filled shock absorbers, which feature 4mm diameter shafts and precise damping characteristics. The 0.9kgf spring rate represents a balanced setup suitable for general bashing and competitive racing, providing adequate spring stiffness to support the vehicle's mass whilst maintaining the compliance necessary for traction over obstacles and uneven surfaces. At 80mm length, these springs are precisely dimensioned to integrate seamlessly with HoBao's CNC-aluminium 4mm thick shock towers and the strengthened composite upper and lower arms found on modern HoBao Hyper models. The spring rate works in harmony with oil-filled shock absorbers to create a suspension system capable of absorbing impacts from jumps and rough terrain whilst maintaining consistent ride height. For UK-based RC car racers running HoBao Hyper buggies, trugies or monster trucks, these rear springs are an essential maintenance item — regular inspection and replacement of worn springs is critical for maintaining consistent lap times and predictable handling characteristics.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Which HoBao models do these rear shock springs fit? — These springs are compatible with the HoBao Hyper SS, Hyper SS Cage, Hyper Cage buggy and truggy models, the Hyper VS2, and the Hyper MT monster truck platform. Always verify compatibility with your specific model before ordering, particularly if you're running an older generation Hyper vehicle.
• How do I know when my shock springs need replacing? — Suspension springs should be inspected regularly for visible damage, discolouration or loss of tension. If your vehicle's ride height feels lower than normal, or if your handling becomes unpredictable during cornering or jumps, worn springs are likely the culprit. Replacing them in pairs ensures balanced suspension performance across the vehicle.
• What is the 0.9kgf spring rate suitable for? — The 0.9 kilogram-force rating provides a balanced suspension setup for general bashing and competitive racing. This spring rate is suitable for drivers of intermediate and advanced skill levels, offering good support and compliance. Heavier drivers or those preferring softer suspension may want to research alternative spring rates, whilst lighter drivers might explore stiffer options for even more responsive handling.
• Will these springs work with my oil-filled shocks? — Yes, these 80mm springs are designed specifically for HoBao's standard 17mm big bore oil-filled shock absorbers with 4mm diameter shafts. They integrate perfectly with the shock tower geometry found on HoBao Hyper models to provide the correct ride height and suspension travel.
• Can I use just one spring, or must I replace both? — Always replace both rear springs together. Mixing old and new springs will result in unbalanced suspension geometry, leading to unpredictable handling, inconsistent traction, and potentially damaged suspension components. These springs are supplied as a pair for exactly this reason.
• Are these genuine HoBao parts? — Yes, these are OEM HoBao components, not aftermarket alternatives. When ordering from RC Model Shop, you can be confident you're receiving genuine parts manufactured to HoBao's exacting standards, ensuring compatibility and performance.
