Overview
The HOBAO HYPER GTB CHASSIS (GP) - LONG H90087 is a premium spare chassis component designed for serious RC enthusiasts in the UK who demand precision engineering and reliable performance. This is the genuine replacement chassis for the HoBao Hyper SS GTB RTR Nitro Street Racer, making it an essential part for racers, bashers and competitive drivers who want to maintain their vehicles at peak performance or build custom setups. Whether you're an experienced RC car UK competitor or someone looking to upgrade your existing HoBao Nitro racer, this long-wheelbase chassis offers the structural foundation needed for consistent handling and durability on track and off-road surfaces.
HoBao is recognised internationally as a manufacturer of high-quality RC vehicles and components, and this chassis represents the engineering excellence that enthusiasts expect from the brand. The GTB designation indicates this chassis is purpose-built for ground-truthing performance, whilst the long configuration provides extended wheelbase geometry that benefits from improved stability during high-speed runs and cornering manoeuvres. RC hobbyists throughout the UK trust HoBao components for their reliability, precision fit and compatibility with existing HoBao platforms.
This is a chassis-only component, meaning it serves as the core structural element upon which you'll build or rebuild your Nitro RC car. It's perfect for replacement purposes if your current chassis has sustained damage, or for advanced builders who want to customise and tune their setup to specific driving preferences. The H90087 is an authentic OEM part, ensuring perfect compatibility and maintaining the integrity of your HoBao Hyper GTB build.

Technical Performance
The HOBAO HYPER GTB CHASSIS (GP) - LONG H90087 represents the core structural element of a serious Nitro-powered RC street racer platform. As a dedicated chassis component for the HoBao Hyper SS GTB RTR, this part has been engineered to withstand the power delivery and handling demands of .21 nitro engines typical in this class of RC vehicle. The long wheelbase geometry is specifically calculated to provide stability during acceleration from the internal combustion engine, whilst maintaining responsive cornering behaviour for competitive street racing applications. HoBao's construction standards ensure that this chassis can handle the stresses imposed by Nitro engine vibration, high-speed cornering loads and impact forces from track obstacles. The precision-engineered suspension mounting points maintain consistent geometry through extended driving sessions, crucial for maintaining competitive lap times and preventing unpredictable handling changes that could compromise driver control. This is a chassis-only spare part, designed for drivers who already have experience with Nitro-powered RC cars and understand the maintenance and setup requirements of this type of vehicle platform.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Is this a complete ready-to-run RC car or just a chassis? — This is a chassis-only component, which means it's the bare frame structure without engine, transmission, suspension, wheels, radio system or body. You'll need these additional components to create a complete and functional Nitro RC car UK. It's designed as a replacement part for the HoBao Hyper SS GTB RTR or as a core component for advanced builders.
- What is the difference between the long and short wheelbase versions? — The long wheelbase configuration of the H90087 provides extended stability and improved high-speed handling characteristics compared to shorter chassis variants. The long geometry reduces the tendency to oversteer in corners and provides more predictable behaviour when accelerating, making it preferable for drivers who prioritise stability and consistency, particularly in street racing and circuit competition.
- Which HoBao models is this chassis compatible with? — This chassis is specifically engineered for and compatible with the HBGTL-C28G HoBao Hyper SS GTB RTR Nitro Street Racer. Compatibility with other HoBao models cannot be guaranteed without expert verification, as each platform has unique suspension geometry and mounting specifications.
- Do I need any special tools or expertise to use this chassis? — As a chassis-only component, assembling a complete vehicle requires intermediate to advanced RC building knowledge. You'll need to source and fit engine, drivetrain, suspension, radio system and body components, which demands familiarity with Nitro engine setup, tuning and maintenance. This is not recommended for absolute beginners to RC hobbies.
- What makes HoBao a trusted brand in the UK RC community? — HoBao is internationally recognised for precision engineering, quality materials and attention to detail in RC vehicle manufacturing. Their components are trusted by competitive racers throughout the UK and globally for reliability and performance consistency. The brand has established a strong reputation for producing vehicles and spares that maintain their performance characteristics through extended use and competitive racing.
