Key Features
- Premium Brass Construction — Unlike plastic alternatives commonly found on budget RC cars, these steering pivot balls are manufactured from high-quality brass material that provides superior strength, durability, and resistance to wear. Brass offers excellent mechanical properties that reduce friction during steering articulation and maintain consistent performance even under extreme racing conditions.
- Complete Set of Four — This package includes four individual steering pivot balls, providing complete coverage for your HOBAO HYPER TT2.0's steering system. Having a full set ensures balanced steering geometry across your vehicle and means you have replacements available for future maintenance without ordering multiple separate items.

These steering pivot balls are engineered to exact specifications that match perfectly with your TT2.0 steering components, ensuring seamless integration and optimal steering response without modification or adjustment.
- Extended Component Lifespan — By upgrading from plastic to brass steering pivot balls, you significantly extend the operational life of your steering system. The superior material properties of brass mean less wear on connected components, reducing the frequency of maintenance and replacement cycles compared to standard plastic alternatives.
- Improved Steering Response — Brass steering pivot balls reduce play and slop in the steering linkage, delivering more precise and responsive steering feedback. For RC racing enthusiasts in the UK competing in touring car events, this translates directly to better cornering performance and improved vehicle control on competitive tracks.
- Genuine HOBAO Component — As an authorised HOBAO retailer, RC Model Shop supplies only genuine OEM components. These steering pivot balls are original equipment manufacturer parts that meet HOBAO's exacting quality standards, ensuring compatibility and performance that aftermarket alternatives simply cannot match.
Technical Performance
The HOBAO HYPER TT2.0 Brass Steering Pivot Ball set represents a fundamental upgrade for any RC enthusiast serious about improving their vehicle's handling characteristics and long-term reliability. Brass, as an engineering material, demonstrates exceptional performance characteristics that make it ideal for high-stress applications in RC cars UK. The material exhibits low coefficient of friction, which reduces wear at pivot points where constant articulation occurs during steering input. This directly benefits RC car handling by minimising the development of wear-induced play that degrades steering precision over time. The four balls included in this set cover all primary steering pivot points on the HOBAO HYPER TT2.0 chassis, ensuring comprehensive upgrade coverage. For competitors running touring car events or anyone who values precision handling in their RC buggy or touring car, upgrading to brass steering components from plastic equivalents represents one of the most cost-effective performance enhancements available. The manufacturing tolerances on these components are precisely matched to HOBAO's design specifications, meaning installation requires no modification to existing components. Brass components also provide superior protection against corrosion compared to ferrous metals, making them particularly suitable for UK outdoor racing where moisture exposure is common. These steering pivot balls deliver measurable improvements in steering response and handling precision that serious racers will immediately recognise during track sessions.
