- Genuine HoBao OEM Component — Manufactured by HoBao specifically for the Hyper VS platform, this bodyshell guarantees perfect fitment and aerodynamic performance that matches the factory engineering of your chassis.
- Durable Polycarbonate Construction — The polycarbonate material provides excellent impact resistance and flexibility, absorbing energy during crashes while remaining rigid enough to maintain aerodynamic shape at high speeds on UK racing tracks.
- Included Decal Sheet — The package includes an authentic decal sheet, allowing you to apply HoBao branding and custom graphics to personalise your buggy and create a unique look on the track or at the bash spot.
- 1/8 Scale Buggy Application — Designed for the popular 1/8 scale buggy category, this body fits the Hyper VS platform and is compatible with brushless and nitro powerplants commonly used in competitive UK RC buggy racing.

Technical Performance
The HoBao Hyper VS bodyshell is engineered from high-quality polycarbonate that has been proven in competitive racing environments across Europe and beyond. The material selection is crucial for 1/8 scale buggy performance—polycarbonate offers the ideal balance between weight and durability, resisting cracks and breaks that would occur with harder plastic compounds whilst remaining light enough not to compromise acceleration or handling. The pre-painted blue finish is applied using automotive-grade paint processes, ensuring durability against UV exposure and the wear and tear of regular outdoor use. This body is designed to work with the full Hyper VS platform regardless of your powertrain choice, whether you are running brushless electric motors with modern LiPo battery systems or turbocharged nitro engines. The aerodynamic profile has been refined through HoBao's extensive racing programme, ensuring optimal downforce and stability during high-speed cornering on both smooth tarmac tracks and rough off-road circuits common throughout the UK. The shell maintains excellent visibility for drivers whilst providing the low-profile stance that modern 1/8 buggy racing demands. Assembly is straightforward—the body utilises the factory mounting system of the Hyper VS, ensuring no fitment issues and allowing you to maintain the original handling characteristics of your chassis.
