HoBao Hyper MT Plus Hard Suspension Spring Set 1.3kgf/cm 80mm H94073

Overview

The HoBao Hyper MT Plus Spring Set Hard is an essential suspension upgrade for RC enthusiasts looking to fine-tune their off-road RC car performance. This hard spring set is specifically designed for the HoBao Hyper MT Plus platform, one of the most popular monster truck chassis in the UK RC hobby market. Whether you're a serious basher, weekend racer, or dedicated competitor, having the right spring rates available means you can dial in your suspension setup perfectly for different track conditions and driving styles. Hard springs provide increased stiffness compared to standard or soft options, offering better body control during aggressive cornering and jumps, whilst reducing suspension bottoming on rough terrain.

This genuine HoBao spare part represents the commitment to quality and performance that HoBao is recognised for in the RC car UK community. The Hyper MT Plus itself is a legendary platform known for its durability, speed and tuning versatility, and suspension springs are one of the most important tuning components you can upgrade or change. With four individual 80mm springs at 1.3kgf/cm spring rate, this set gives you complete freedom to experiment with suspension geometry and handling characteristics. Whether you're upgrading from worn springs, building a dedicated race setup, or simply expanding your spare parts collection, this spring set is an intelligent investment in your RC experience.

Available through RC Model Shop with reliable UK delivery and expert support, the HoBao Hyper MT Plus Spring Set Hard ensures you have access to the genuine components needed to keep your machine performing at its peak. Spring stiffness is one of the most underrated tuning variables in RC racing and bashing, yet it makes a dramatic difference in how your vehicle handles bumps, maintains traction through corners, and manages weight transfer during acceleration and braking.

Key Features

• Four individual springs — This set includes four complete springs, giving you one for each corner of your HoBao Hyper MT Plus suspension, ensuring balanced and symmetrical handling across the entire chassis.
• Hard spring rate of 1.3kgf/cm — The 1.3kgf/cm spring constant provides a firmer suspension response than standard springs, ideal for high-speed running, aggressive driving, and packed or hard-packed track surfaces where you need maximum body control.
• 80mm length — These springs are precisely engineered to match the Hyper MT Plus suspension geometry, ensuring correct suspension travel, ride height, and overall handling balance without modification.
• Genuine HoBao manufacturing — As authentic HoBao spare parts, these springs are made to the exact specifications and quality standards of the original equipment, guaranteeing compatibility and performance reliability.
• Universal suspension tuning solution — Hard springs are an essential component in any RC enthusiast's tuning arsenal, allowing you to adapt your setup for different track conditions, weather, and driving techniques throughout the RC racing season.
• Direct replacement or upgrade option — Whether you're replacing worn original springs or upgrading from softer rates for a more competitive setup, this hard spring set delivers measurable improvements in vehicle response and cornering stability.

Technical Performance

The HoBao Hyper MT Plus Spring Set Hard represents precision engineering focused on suspension dynamics and chassis control. Each spring is manufactured to exact tolerances to ensure consistent spring rate across all four springs, eliminating handling imbalances caused by springs with varying stiffness. The 1.3kgf/cm spring rate sits in the hard category of suspension tuning options, making it suitable for drivers who prioritise mid-corner stability, reduced body roll, and precise weight transfer characteristics over maximum ground clearance and bump absorption. The 80mm spring length is specifically calibrated for the Hyper MT Plus platform, which features double-wishbone independent suspension front and rear, allowing the springs to work in harmony with the existing suspension arms, dampers, and anti-roll bars to deliver progressive, predictable handling. Hard springs reduce the overall ride height slightly compared to softer rates, which can lower the centre of gravity and improve high-speed stability during competitive runs. These springs are particularly valued in the UK RC car community for track-focused driving on well-maintained racing circuits and hard-packed outdoor tracks where maximum precision and minimal suspension movement are advantageous. The engineering quality reflects HoBao's reputation for durability and performance, with springs manufactured from high-grade steel and carefully heat-treated to maintain their spring rate through hundreds of hours of use.

Frequently Asked Questions

• What is the difference between hard, medium, and soft springs for RC cars? — Spring rate directly affects how your suspension responds to bumps and body roll during cornering. Hard springs (like this 1.3kgf/cm set) compress less and keep your chassis stiffer, providing better body control and precision handling on smooth or hard-packed tracks. Soft springs compress more easily, absorbing bumps better and providing more ground clearance, making them better for rough terrain. Medium springs offer a balanced compromise. The best choice depends on your track surface and driving style.
• Are these springs compatible with my HoBao Hyper MT Plus? — Yes, these springs are genuine HoBao spare parts specifically designed for the Hyper MT Plus chassis. The 80mm length and suspension geometry match perfectly with the stock suspension setup, requiring no modifications for installation.
• When should I upgrade to hard springs? — Upgrading to hard springs like this set is recommended when you're racing on smooth, hard-packed surfaces, when you need better body control during fast cornering, or when the standard springs are worn out and no longer maintaining proper ride height. Competitive racers often use hard springs for improved consistency and predictability lap after lap.
• How often should I replace my RC suspension springs? — Springs don't wear out as quickly as other suspension components, but they can lose their spring rate over time through repeated compression and stress. If you notice your vehicle sitting lower than before, handling becoming unpredictable, or springs visibly bent or damaged, it's time to replace them. Many serious RC enthusiasts replace springs annually or every 50-100 hours of running.
• Will hard springs make my RC car less comfortable to drive? — Hard springs will make your suspension less forgiving on rough or bumpy tracks, as they don't compress as much when hitting obstacles. However, on well-maintained tracks they provide superior handling precision and body control. If you're primarily bashing on rough terrain, softer springs may be more suitable. For competitive racing and track-focused driving, hard springs are usually preferred.
• What other suspension components work with these springs? — These springs work with the Hyper MT Plus's existing dampers, suspension arms, anti-roll bars, and other chassis components. Many drivers also upgrade dampers, anti-roll bars, or suspension geometry simultaneously to get the best performance from new springs. Suspension tuning is a system-wide approach for optimal results.
