Frequently Asked Questions
- Is the HOBAO Hyper VT Printed Body compatible with my Hyper VT chassis? — Yes, this printed body is specifically designed for HOBAO Hyper VT platforms and is confirmed compatible with the HBVTE roller chassis, HBVTE-C150BU RTR model with 150A ESC 6S configuration, and HBVTE-C100BU RTR model with 100A ESC 4S configuration. Before purchasing, verify your specific Hyper VT model matches one of these listed configurations.
- What is the difference between a printed body and a lexan body? — Printed bodies like the H85052DG feature printed graphics and colours on a painted or pre-coloured shell, offering a finished appearance out of the box and reduced customisation time. Lexan bodies are typically clear and require custom painting, allowing greater personalisation but requiring additional preparation time and expertise. For UK racers seeking immediate usability, the printed option is ideal.
- Do I need special tools or expertise to install this body on my Hyper VT? — Installation of a printed body shell is generally straightforward and requires only basic tools such as a screwdriver. Most mounting points are identical to your original body, making the replacement process quick and accessible for hobbyists of all skill levels.
- Can I use this body on other RC car brands or models? — No, this bodyshell is engineered exclusively for HOBAO Hyper VT platforms and will not fit other manufacturers' chassis. Using it on incompatible vehicles may result in poor fitment, performance issues and potential damage to the body or chassis.
- What makes the Hyper VT platform suitable for on-road racing in the UK? — The HOBAO Hyper VT is purpose-built for 1/8th scale on-road competition, featuring aerodynamic bodywork, precise handling characteristics and compatibility with high-performance ESC and battery systems that deliver competitive performance on UK club racing circuits and smooth surface tracks.
- Is this suitable for beginners? — This is a body component designed for existing Hyper VT owners rather than a complete vehicle, making it most suitable for intermediate to advanced RC enthusiasts who already operate a Hyper VT platform and understand chassis setup and maintenance.

We want to make sure your delivery goes smoothly, so here are some important details about our service:
- For orders above £120, we offer delivery to most mainland UK addresses. For orders under £120, we can still deliver to Northern Ireland and the outlying isles, as long as the item can be sent by Royal Mail, weighs less than 30kg, and fits within 61cm × 46cm × 46cm. Some highland and remote areas may carry an extra delivery charge as couriers often apply surcharges in these locations. If you live in one of these areas, feel free to contact us before ordering so we can confirm the delivery options and costs for you.
- Most of our products include delivery in the price. If your order is under £90, a small delivery fee will apply but do not worry this will always be clearly shown at checkout before you complete your purchase.
- Depending on what you choose at checkout, your order will usually be delivered either the next working day or within 2 working days. For next day delivery please place your order before 2:00pm. Orders are dispatched Monday to Friday only. Some items may take a little longer and if that is the case we will always show the expected delivery time on the product page.
- If your order includes items with different dispatch times we will normally wait and send everything together once all items are in stock. If one of the items is going to take a while we will give you the choice either wait for everything to arrive or let us send the available items now and deliver the rest later. It is up to you.
- We use trusted delivery partners to make sure your order gets to you safely and on time. We use DPD for next working day deliveries and Royal Mail for the 2 day option.
- As soon as your order is on its way we will send you a tracking number by email. If you provide your mobile number at checkout we will also send delivery updates straight to your phone so you can keep an eye on progress.

- For customers in Inverness and other parts of the Scottish Highlands deliveries can take up to 2 working days even if you select next day delivery as couriers do not currently offer a guaranteed next day service to those areas.
