Technical Performance
The HoBao Hyper SS/Cage Rear Lower Aluminium Arm Holder-C Plate represents the engineering excellence that HoBao has built into the Hyper platform across the 1/8 scale range. Machined from premium 7075 aluminium alloy, this component provides the structural rigidity and precision geometry necessary for optimal suspension performance in 1/8 scale buggies and trucks.
