Overview
The HoBao Hyper VS2 Rear Lower Arm Holder (RR) is a precision-engineered replacement suspension component designed for 1/8 scale RC buggy enthusiasts in the UK and beyond. This is an essential upgrade part for maintaining or repairing your Hyper VS2 buggy's rear suspension geometry. Whether you're a seasoned RC car UK competitor or a dedicated weekend basher, having quality replacement parts on hand ensures your buggy performs at its peak and remains competitive on the track or off-road terrain.
What sets this rear lower arm holder apart is its inclusion of POM (polyoxymethylene) pills, which are precision-engineered bushings that provide consistent, smooth suspension articulation. These polymer inserts reduce friction and wear compared to standard metal-to-metal contact, resulting in more predictable handling characteristics and extended component lifespan. This makes the HoBao Hyper VS2 Rear Lower Arm Holder (RR) an excellent choice for anyone looking to maintain factory specifications or upgrade their buggy's suspension performance without breaking the bank.
As a dedicated RC hobby retailer, we understand that finding genuine, quality spare parts for your ready to run RC buggy can be challenging. This authentic HoBao component is manufactured to OEM standards and ensures perfect fitment with your Hyper VS2 platform, giving you confidence that your RC car will handle exactly as the engineers intended.
Key Features
- Right-Side Rear Position (RR) — This component is specifically designed for the right-hand rear suspension mounting position on your Hyper VS2 buggy, ensuring proper fitment and alignment without modification or adjustment.
- POM Pills Included — The integrated polyoxymethylene bushings provide superior wear resistance and consistent performance compared to traditional metal bushings, delivering smooth suspension action lap after lap.
- OEM Quality Manufacturing — Built to the same exacting standards as the original factory parts, this HoBao component ensures your buggy maintains its design geometry and handling characteristics.
- Direct Replacement Design — Drop-in compatibility with your Hyper VS2 rear suspension means no modification, adjustment or additional tuning required during installation.

- Precision Engineering — Every component is CNC-manufactured to tight tolerances, ensuring repeatable handling and predictable suspension response across different track conditions.
Technical Performance
The HoBao Hyper VS2 Rear Lower Arm Holder (RR) represents the pinnacle of 1/8 scale buggy suspension engineering. Constructed with precision-moulded polymer components and reinforced mounting points, this part is engineered to withstand the extreme forces generated during competitive off-road racing and recreational bashing. The included POM pills are the key to this component's performance advantage—polyoxymethylene is a premium engineering plastic specifically chosen for RC suspension applications because it offers excellent dimensional stability, low coefficient of friction, and superior wear resistance compared to standard plastic or metal alternatives. The right-rear mounting position (RR designation) interfaces directly with your buggy's lower suspension arm, providing the pivot point that controls wheel travel and suspension geometry. When properly installed alongside complementary front suspension components, this rear lower arm holder works in concert with your buggy's shock absorbers, anti-roll bars, and drive train to deliver predictable, responsive handling through corners and over rough terrain. For competitive drivers running the Hyper VS2 on UK tracks, this component is essential maintenance; for recreational enthusiasts who bash their buggies hard, it's the part that keeps your suspension geometry true when lateral and vertical forces are at their highest. The engineering excellence of HoBao's design means this component will deliver consistent performance whether you're running on grass circuits, asphalt tracks, or challenging outdoor terrain.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What does RR mean on this suspension part? — RR stands for Rear Right, indicating this component mounts on the right side of your buggy's rear suspension. There is also an RF (Rear Front) version available separately, and you may need both components depending on your buggy's current condition or your upgrade requirements.
- Why are POM pills important for my RC buggy? — POM (polyoxymethylene) pills are precision bushings that create smooth, low-friction pivot points in your suspension. They reduce wear on moving parts, provide consistent handling feel, and maintain your suspension geometry more accurately than standard metal bushings, making them essential for both competitive and recreational RC car UK drivers.
- Is this a direct replacement for my damaged arm holder? — Yes, this is an OEM-specification replacement component designed specifically for the HoBao Hyper VS2 1/8 scale buggy. It will drop in as a direct replacement with no modification required, provided you are installing it in the correct mounting position (right rear).
- What is the difference between this (RR) and the RF version? — This RR (Rear Right) component is designed for the right-side rear suspension mounting point. The RF (Rear Front) version is designed for the front-right position. Both use the same high-quality POM pill technology, but they are manufactured to fit their respective mounting locations, so it's important to order the correct component for your repair.
- Do I need any special tools to install this part? — Basic RC tools such as hex keys, a screwdriver set, and a wrench set are typically sufficient for suspension component replacement. We recommend consulting your Hyper VS2 manual or watching an installation video before beginning work to ensure proper fitment and torque specifications.
- Will this improve my buggy's handling? — If you're replacing a worn or damaged arm holder, this component will restore your suspension geometry to factory specification, which often results in noticeably improved handling. If your current arm holders are in good condition, you may not notice a dramatic change, but the superior POM pill technology ensures you're getting the best possible suspension performance available for your Hyper VS2.
