Frequently Asked Questions
- What does the 1.5-degree kickup mean on this suspension plate? — The 1.5-degree kickup refers to the angle at which the front suspension mounts on the plate. This geometry helps prevent the front end from digging into the ground during acceleration and provides better suspension compliance when landing from jumps. It's a standard tuning specification for the Hyper 7 platform that affects how the vehicle handles on different track surfaces.
- Is this a genuine HoBao part? — Yes, this is an official OEM HoBao component manufactured to factory specifications. The part number H87029C-L1.5 confirms this is the genuine HoBao part, not a clone or aftermarket alternative. Genuine parts ensure perfect fitment and reliability.
- What is 7075 aluminium and why does it matter? — 7075 aluminium is an aerospace-grade aluminium alloy known for its exceptional strength and rigidity. In RC applications, it allows suspension plates to withstand high forces during racing without bending or flexing, maintaining the precise suspension geometry your Hyper 7 needs for consistent handling.
- Will this fit my HoBao Hyper 7? — This suspension plate is designed specifically for the HoBao Hyper 7 buggy platform. As a genuine OEM part, it guarantees perfect fitment with no compatibility issues. If you're unsure whether you have a Hyper 7, check your vehicle's documentation or contact our team for clarification.
- When should I replace my suspension plate? — You should replace your suspension plate if it becomes bent, cracked, or damaged from a crash or impact. Even small bends can affect your Hyper 7's suspension geometry and handling characteristics. Regular inspection of suspension components is recommended for competitive RC racers.
- Can I use this to upgrade my Hyper 7? — This is a direct replacement part rather than an upgrade. However, if your vehicle currently has a different kickup angle, switching to the 1.5-degree spec may alter your handling characteristics. Experiment with different suspension geometry angles to find the setup that works best for your driving style and local track conditions.
