Overview
The HoBao Hyper GTB/GTS Front Shock Spring (2) 33mm 2.9kgf/cm H90077 is an essential suspension upgrade component for HoBao RC car enthusiasts in the UK and beyond. These replacement front shock springs are specifically engineered for the HoBao Hyper SS GTB RTR Nitro Street Racer, delivering precise damping characteristics that optimise your RC vehicle's handling and performance on both track and street surfaces. Whether you're a weekend basher or a competitive racer looking to fine-tune your RC car UK setup, quality suspension components like these shock springs are absolutely critical to achieving the predictable handling and responsive control that separates average performers from championship-winning machines.
Suspension tuning is one of the most effective ways to improve your RC model's performance, and the Hyper GTB/GTS front shock springs play a crucial role in this process. As a direct OEM replacement part, these springs have been manufactured to exact HoBao specifications, ensuring perfect compatibility with your vehicle and maintaining the engineering integrity that your RC car was designed around. Over time, shock springs can lose their stiffness or become damaged through aggressive driving, making regular replacement essential for maintaining optimal suspension geometry and ride height.
RC Model Shop stocks genuine HoBao spare parts and suspension components to keep your RC car performing at its best. The Hyper GTB/GTS platform is known for its aggressive on-road performance and street racing capability, and maintaining proper suspension setup with quality springs like these is fundamental to unlocking that potential. Whether you're upgrading from a tired set of springs or building a competition setup, the H90077 front shock springs deliver the reliability and performance consistency you need.
Key Features
- 33mm Length Specification — These front shock springs are precisely 33mm in length, matching the exact geometry required by the HoBao Hyper GTB/GTS platform to maintain correct suspension height, anti-squat angles, and overall chassis geometry that affects cornering behaviour and stability.
- 2.9kgf/cm Spring Rate — The spring constant of 2.9 kilograms-force per centimetre provides the ideal balance of compliance and support for street racing applications, allowing the suspension to absorb track imperfections whilst maintaining control during aggressive cornering and acceleration.
- OEM Genuine HoBao Component — Manufactured by HoBao to original equipment manufacturer specifications, these springs guarantee perfect fitment and performance consistency, eliminating the uncertainty of aftermarket alternatives that may not meet the exact engineering standards your vehicle requires.
- Pair of Two Springs Included — The package contains two springs, which is the complete set required for the front suspension of your HoBao Hyper GTB/GTS, allowing you to refresh both sides simultaneously for balanced handling characteristics.
- Direct HoBao Hyper SS GTB Compatibility — These springs are specifically designed for the HoBao Hyper SS GTB RTR Nitro Street Racer, ensuring they work perfectly with your vehicle's suspension mounting points, shock bodies, and damping characteristics without modification or adaptation.
- Suspension Tuning Solution — By upgrading or replacing worn springs with fresh components, you can adjust your RC car's ride height, suspension stiffness, and overall handling balance to suit different track conditions or your personal driving preferences.
- Durable Engineering — HoBao's reputation for quality manufacturing means these springs are constructed to withstand the demands of competitive racing and aggressive driving, resisting fatigue and maintaining their spring rate consistency over extended use.
- Cost-Effective Spare Part — Rather than replacing entire shock assemblies, upgrading just the springs provides a budget-friendly way to refresh your suspension system and restore your RC vehicle's original performance characteristics.
Technical Performance
The HoBao Hyper GTB/GTS front shock springs represent precision engineering designed specifically for the demands of on-road RC racing. With a spring rate of 2.9kgf/cm and a length of 33mm, these springs have been engineered to work in harmony with the Hyper GTB/GTS's street racing suspension geometry. The spring constant determines how much the suspension compresses under load — a 2.9kgf/cm rate provides moderate stiffness that absorbs small track irregularities whilst maintaining enough support to prevent excessive body roll during cornering. This balance is critical for street racing applications where maintaining consistent ride height and predictable handling is essential for lap time consistency. The 33mm length maintains the correct suspension geometry, ensuring proper anti-squat angles during acceleration and optimal weight transfer characteristics during braking and cornering. As genuine OEM components manufactured to HoBao's exacting standards, these springs deliver the reliability and performance consistency that competitive racers depend on. Quality suspension springs are fundamental to the handling characteristics of your RC model, and using genuine HoBao components ensures that your vehicle maintains the engineering integrity and performance potential that the Hyper platform is renowned for in the UK RC racing community.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Are these shock springs compatible with my HoBao Hyper RC car? — Yes, the H90077 front shock springs are specifically engineered for the HoBao Hyper SS GTB RTR Nitro Street Racer. They feature the exact 33mm length and 2.9kgf/cm spring rate required for this model, ensuring perfect fitment and compatibility without any modification needed.
- What is the difference between 2.9kgf/cm and other spring rates? — The spring constant (kgf/cm) determines suspension stiffness. A 2.9kgf/cm rate is moderate and suitable for street racing, balancing track grip with ride comfort. Stiffer springs (higher kgf/cm values) provide more support but reduce compliance, whilst softer springs offer better bump absorption but less control during aggressive driving.
- Why should I replace my shock springs? — Shock springs gradually lose their stiffness through use and can become damaged during aggressive driving or crashes. Worn springs reduce suspension performance, alter ride height, and compromise handling consistency. Replacing them with fresh HoBao springs restores your RC car's original suspension performance and handling characteristics.
- Is this suitable for beginners? — These are replacement suspension components intended for owners of the HoBao Hyper GTB/GTS who need to refresh their shock springs. Beginners should start with a ready-to-run RC car, but once you own a Hyper GTB/GTS, these springs are essential maintenance parts that even new owners will eventually need.
- How many springs do I get in this package? — The H90077 includes a pair of two front shock springs, which is the complete set required to refresh the front suspension of your HoBao Hyper GTB/GTS on both the left and right sides.
- Can these springs be used for tuning? — Yes, by swapping springs with different rates (if available), you can adjust your suspension stiffness and ride height to suit different track conditions or your driving style, making them valuable for both competitive racing tuning and personal setup preference.
