Key Features
- CNC-Machined Aluminium Construction — This component is manufactured using computer numerical control (CNC) machining technology, ensuring precise tolerances and repeatable quality that cannot be achieved through casting or stamping processes. The aluminium material provides an excellent balance of weight savings and structural rigidity, critical for maintaining suspension geometry under the extreme stresses of competitive RC driving.
- Rear Lower Arm Holder Design — The arm holder plate is specifically engineered to mount and support the rear lower suspension arms of the Hyper SS and Cage Truggy, maintaining perfect alignment and preventing flex that could compromise handling and cornering consistency during high-speed running.
- OEM HoBao Engineering — As an official HoBao manufacturer part (HOP-0066), this component is engineered and tested to the same exacting standards as the original equipment parts fitted to new vehicles, guaranteeing compatibility and performance alignment with your RC truggy's suspension system.
- Direct Fitment Compatibility — Designed exclusively for HoBao Hyper SS and Cage Truggy platforms, this part offers direct bolt-on installation without modification, ensuring straightforward maintenance and upgrade procedures for UK RC car owners at all skill levels.
- Performance-Grade Material Selection — The use of high-grade aluminium alloy provides superior strength-to-weight ratio compared to plastic alternatives, reducing deflection under load and delivering more responsive handling feedback during competitive running or recreational bashing.
- Authentic Manufacturer Support — Purchasing genuine HoBao parts ensures access to technical support, build documentation, and compatibility information directly from the manufacturer, providing peace of mind for UK-based RC enthusiasts investing in their hobby.
Technical Performance
The HoBao Hyper SS Cage Truggy represents a significant platform within the 1/8-scale electric truggy category, and maintaining proper component integrity is essential for achieving the handling performance and durability these vehicles are designed to deliver. The rear lower arm holder plate is a stress-bearing component that experiences continuous loading during acceleration, braking, and cornering manoeuvres. By upgrading to this CNC-machined aluminium version, you eliminate the risk of flex and wear that can develop in lower-quality components, ensuring your suspension geometry remains true across multiple race heats or bashing sessions. The precise engineering tolerances achieved through CNC machining mean that this part will maintain consistent suspension alignment lap after lap, crucial for competitive drivers seeking repeatable lap times. The aluminium construction also offers superior thermal properties compared to plastic, helping to maintain dimensional stability even during extended running sessions in varying UK weather conditions. This component integrates seamlessly with the rest of the Hyper SS Cage Truggy's suspension architecture, supporting the vehicle's overall handling characteristics and contributing to the planted, responsive feel that drivers expect from a premium 1/8-scale electric truggy platform.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Is this rear arm holder plate compatible with both the Hyper SS and Cage Truggy models? — Yes, this HOP-0066 part is specifically designed for both the HoBao Hyper SS and Cage Truggy electric platforms, offering direct fitment compatibility with both vehicle variants without requiring any modification or adaptation.
- Why would I need to replace my rear lower arm holder plate? — Over time, suspension components experience wear from the constant stresses of RC driving. The rear lower arm holder may develop micro-cracks, fatigue, or flex in the original component, leading to inconsistent handling and reduced precision. Upgrading to a fresh CNC-machined aluminium version restores suspension geometry and responsiveness, particularly important for competitive racers seeking consistent lap times.
- What is the advantage of the CNC-machined aluminium version over the original plastic component? — CNC-machined aluminium offers superior strength, minimal flex under load, improved thermal stability, and longer service life compared to plastic. The precise manufacturing tolerances achieved through CNC machining ensure perfect dimensional accuracy, contributing to more repeatable and predictable handling characteristics during competitive running.
- Is this an easy upgrade for beginners to install? — Yes, as an OEM HoBao part designed for direct fitment, installation is straightforward for anyone with basic RC maintenance knowledge and standard metric tools. The part bolts directly onto your existing suspension with no modifications required, making it an accessible upgrade even for relatively inexperienced RC car owners.
- Will upgrading this component noticeably improve my truggy's performance? — While this is a structural component rather than a directly speed-affecting part, upgrading to a precision CNC-machined arm holder will improve suspension consistency, handling responsiveness, and overall vehicle feel, particularly noticeable to competitive drivers and during high-speed cornering manoeuvres.
- Is this part commonly stocked in the UK, and how does RC Model Shop ensure authenticity? — As an authorised HoBao retailer, RC Model Shop stocks only genuine manufacturer parts with full manufacturer support and documentation. We verify authenticity through official channels and provide customers confidence that they're receiving genuine HoBao components, not counterfeit alternatives.
