Overview
The HoBao Hyper 7/VS/SS Engine Mount H87079 is an essential spare part for owners of HoBao Hyper 7 and Hyper SS nitro-powered RC buggies and truggies. Whether you're an experienced racer maintaining your competition machine or a weekend basher looking to keep your RC car UK setup in peak condition, this genuine engine mount is a critical component that ensures your engine remains securely positioned and properly aligned within your chassis. The engine mount plays a vital role in the overall performance and longevity of your nitro RC vehicle, making it one of the most important chassis spares you can have on hand.
HoBao is renowned throughout the RC hobby for producing high-quality, competition-grade nitro-powered vehicles, and their spare parts are engineered to the same exacting standards. This engine mount is manufactured by HoBao and designed specifically for compatibility with several popular models in their Hyper range, including the Hyper 7 TQ2 RTR Buggy with Mac 28 Turbo Engine and the Hyper SS Nitro RTR Off-Road Truggy. If you own any of these ready to run RC cars or are building a custom setup, having a spare engine mount in your parts box is essential for minimising downtime and keeping your RC hobby enjoyable.
As a crucial chassis component, the engine mount must withstand the vibrations, forces and stresses created by a running nitro engine whilst maintaining absolute precision in engine position. HoBao's engineering ensures this part delivers the reliability and accuracy needed for both casual flying sessions and competitive racing environments across the UK.

Technical Performance
The HoBao Hyper 7/VS/SS Engine Mount H87079 is engineered as a precision-made chassis component designed to securely hold and position a nitro engine within the chassis of competition-grade RC buggies and truggies. As a structural element rather than a performance part with measurable speed or power ratings, this mount's quality is determined by its precision engineering, material durability and perfect fitment with your vehicle's frame. HoBao's reputation in the RC hobby is built on their ability to produce vehicles that compete at the highest levels, and the spare parts that support these vehicles must meet equally demanding standards. The engine mount must maintain perfect engine positioning under the intense vibrations and forces generated by a running .21 or .28 cc nitro engine, whilst also accounting for the stresses of high-speed running, jumping and cornering. The robust construction ensures the mount will not flex or shift during operation, which could cause performance degradation, increased wear on engine components, or dangerous misalignment. For anyone operating an RC buggy or truggy in the UK with a running nitro powerplant, having an authentic replacement engine mount available is essential maintenance preparation.
