Technical Performance
The HoBao Hyper MT Plus II is a 1/7 scale electric monster truck that represents a significant step forward in RC vehicle engineering, and these shock spring upper mounts play a crucial role in delivering its legendary performance. The truck features an all-metal drive transmission system with full-time 4-wheel drive, powered by brushless electric drive that provides instant torque and consistent power delivery across any terrain. The suspension system utilises CNC-machined aluminium components throughout, including an enhanced one-piece aluminium chassis frame that provides structural rigidity whilst remaining lightweight. The Hyper MT Plus II measures 700mm in length (including the wheelie bar), 510mm in width, and 280mm in height, with a wheelbase of 435mm—60mm longer than the previous MT Plus generation—which translates to improved stability and more composed handling through rough terrain. The vehicle weighs 6.5kg without battery, and features 197mm diameter tyres that are 105mm wide, mounted on 102mm diameter grey seven-spoke wheels with 76mm width. The truck requires a 7.4V LiPo or 7.2V Ni-MH battery pack, plus an ESC, motor, servo, and radio system to complete. These shock spring upper mounts are the precision interface between your suspension springs and the chassis, and maintaining them in perfect condition is absolutely critical for achieving the responsive, well-controlled handling that makes the Hyper MT Plus II such a formidable performer in the UK RC scene.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Are these shock spring upper mounts compatible with my HoBao Hyper MT Plus II? — Yes, absolutely. These are genuine OEM HoBao parts designed specifically for the Hyper MT Plus II Electric Monster Truck. They are compatible with all variants of the Hyper MT Plus II, including the rolling chassis model (HB-MTE2) and the ready-to-run versions (HB-MTE2-C150SV in silver and HB-MTE2-C150BU in blue). As OEM components, they are guaranteed to fit perfectly without modification.
- How often should I replace my shock spring upper mounts? — The frequency of replacement depends on how heavily you use your truck. Regular bashers who run frequently might replace them every 12-18 months, while weekend enthusiasts might get 2-3 years of service. If you notice uneven suspension height, poor handling response, or visible cracks in the mounts, it's time for replacement. Replacing all four at once ensures consistent suspension geometry across all corners of your truck.
- Why does the pack include four mounts instead of just one? — The Hyper MT Plus II has four corners, and for optimal suspension geometry and handling, all four shock spring upper mounts should be in identical condition. By providing four mounts in a single pack, HoBao makes it convenient and economical to maintain complete suspension health without ordering multiple individual parts.
- What is the Hyper MT Plus II's suspension system, and why are these mounts important? — The Hyper MT Plus II features Aluminum Alloy Hydraulic Shock Absorbers with locking spring cup holders, which is an advanced suspension design that provides exceptional damping control and adjustable ride height through spring preload tuning. These shock spring upper mounts are the connection points where your suspension springs attach to the chassis, and they directly influence suspension geometry, ride height, and handling response. Well-maintained mounts ensure precise geometry that translates to responsive, predictable handling.
- Can I use other brands' shock mounts on my Hyper MT Plus II? — Whilst some aftermarket options might fit mechanically, OEM HoBao mounts are engineered to exact specifications and are guaranteed compatible. Using non-OEM parts risks fitment issues, incorrect suspension geometry, and potential handling problems. For reliability and peace of mind, genuine OEM parts are always the best choice.
- Is the HoBao Hyper MT Plus II suitable for beginners? — The Hyper MT Plus II is best suited to intermediate and experienced RC enthusiasts rather than absolute beginners, as it requires additional components to operate (ESC, motor, servo, radio, and battery). However, if you already own these components or are willing to invest in them, the truck's robust construction and forgiving suspension geometry make it relatively easy to drive. The ready-to-run versions (HB-MTE2-C150SV and HB-MTE2-C150BU) would be more appropriate for newcomers as they include more of the necessary electronics.
- What battery does the Hyper MT Plus II need? — The truck is compatible with 7.4V LiPo or 7.2V Ni-MH battery packs. Lithium Polymer (LiPo) batteries are recommended for superior performance, runtime, and weight distribution. You'll also need a compatible charger and appropriate safety equipment for LiPo charging.
- How much does the Hyper MT Plus II cost? — The rolling chassis model (HB-MTE2) is priced at £599, whilst the ready-to-run versions with painted bodies cost £730 (HB-MTE2-C150SV silver or HB-MTE2-C150BU blue). These represent excellent value for 1/7 scale brushless electric monster trucks in the UK market.
- What makes the Hyper MT Plus II different from other 1/7 scale monster trucks? — The Hyper MT Plus II incorporates numerous advanced engineering features including a full-time 4-wheel drive system, centre differential drive system, CNC aluminium differential mount, all-metal drive gears, heavy-duty steel differential and transmission gears, adjustable height shock spring perches, and a longer wheelbase (60mm longer than the MT Plus) for enhanced stability. The truck also features new high-torque universal joints with differential outdrive cups, symmetric front and rear suspension arms for balanced handling, and an enhanced one-piece aluminium chassis frame that balances rigidity with lightweight construction.
