Technical Performance
The HoBao Hyper SS Cage Truggy CNC Centre Diff Mount Set represents a significant step up in drivetrain engineering and performance. Manufactured from precision CNC-machined aluminium, this component provides the rigidity and accuracy needed for high-performance RC racing. The centre differential is one of the most critical components in any RC truggy's drivetrain, responsible for distributing power effectively between the front and rear axles whilst allowing them to rotate at different speeds during cornering. By upgrading to this premium CNC-machined mount set, you're ensuring that your differential assembly maintains perfect alignment and spacing under load, eliminating the flex and play that can occur with standard mounts. This results in measurably improved handling, faster acceleration out of corners, and significantly improved durability. The precision tolerances achieved through CNC machining mean that gear mesh is perfectly maintained, reducing friction losses and improving overall drivetrain efficiency. For anyone running a HoBao Hyper SS or Cage Truggy at serious competitive levels, this upgrade is essential—it's the difference between a good setup and a championship-winning setup.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What is a centre differential mount and why do I need to upgrade it? — The centre differential is the component that distributes engine or motor power between your front and rear axles whilst allowing them to turn at different speeds during cornering. A CNC-machined upgrade provides superior rigidity compared to standard mounts, eliminating flex that causes power loss and poor handling. For competitive RC racing in the UK, upgrading to a precision CNC mount set can shave milliseconds off your lap times and dramatically improve reliability.
- Will this part fit my HoBao RC car? — Yes, this centre diff mount set is specifically engineered for HoBao Hyper SS and Cage Truggy models in 1/8 scale. It will not fit other HoBao models or other manufacturers' vehicles. If you're unsure whether your model is compatible, contact our expert team at RC Model Shop and we'll help you identify your vehicle and confirm compatibility before you purchase.
- Do I need any special tools to install this? — Installation requires basic RC car maintenance tools including hex keys, screwdrivers and possibly a small spanner for fastener assembly. The instruction documentation provided will guide you through the installation process step by step. If you're not confident with mechanical work, our team at RC Model Shop can offer advice or you may wish to visit a local RC car shop for professional installation support.
- Is this a complete drivetrain or just the mount? — This is specifically a centre differential mount set—the mounting assembly for your existing differential. You'll be removing your current mount and replacing it with this upgraded CNC version. Your existing differential gears and components transfer over. This is an upgrade component, not a complete drivetrain assembly.
- How much performance improvement can I expect? — The performance gain depends on your current setup and driving style, but users typically report improved handling response, better traction out of corners, faster acceleration, and significantly improved durability. In competitive racing, even small improvements in drivetrain rigidity can translate to measurable lap time improvements.
- Can I use this with both electric and nitro HoBao Hyper SS and Cage Truggy models? — Yes, this centre diff mount set is compatible with both electric-powered and nitro-powered variants of the HoBao Hyper SS and Cage Truggy. The mounting points and assembly are identical across both powertrain options.
