Overview
The HOBAO HYPER TT2.0 Carbon Fibre Front Shock Tower (HOP1-0070) is a premium upgrade component designed specifically for the HOBAO Hyper TT2.0 truggy platform. This high-performance replacement part is engineered for RC enthusiasts and competitive drivers who demand the ultimate in durability, precision and lightweight construction. Whether you're running a 1/10 scale RC truggy in the UK or competing at your local track, this carbon fibre shock tower delivers the strength-to-weight ratio needed for aggressive driving and reliable performance across any terrain.
Built from genuine carbon fibre material, this front shock tower represents a significant upgrade over standard plastic components found on many ready-to-run RC cars and trucks. The carbon fibre construction provides exceptional rigidity whilst maintaining a minimal weight penalty, allowing your HOBAO TT2.0 to respond more quickly to steering inputs and maintain better suspension geometry during high-speed manoeuvres. This is the kind of precision engineering that separates competitive RC buggies and truggies from casual bashers, making it an essential upgrade for anyone serious about performance.
RC Model Shop stocks genuine HOBAO parts for all the HOBAO Hyper range, from complete ready-to-run models through to individual hop-up components like this shock tower. Whether you're upgrading an existing vehicle, repairing a damaged component, or fine-tuning your RC truggy for competition, we have the authentic parts and expert knowledge to help you build the perfect setup.
Key Features
- Carbon Fibre Construction — This shock tower is manufactured from genuine carbon fibre material, which offers superior stiffness compared to plastic alternatives whilst weighing significantly less, improving acceleration and handling response in your RC truggy.
- Front Position Specific Design — Purpose-engineered for the front suspension of the HOBAO Hyper TT2.0, this component is precision-fitted to work seamlessly with the vehicle's existing suspension geometry and shock mounting points.
- Direct OEM Replacement — Designed as a drop-in replacement for the standard plastic front shock tower, allowing you to upgrade your existing HOBAO Hyper TT2.0 without requiring additional modifications or parts.
- Enhanced Durability — Carbon fibre provides excellent impact resistance and longevity, protecting your suspension components from damage during aggressive driving or racing applications on UK tracks and outdoor courses.
- Lightweight Performance Upgrade — By reducing unsprung weight at the front of the vehicle, this carbon fibre tower helps improve suspension response, traction and overall handling consistency across varying terrain types.
- Official HOBAO Product — This is a genuine factory component from HOBAO, ensuring compatibility and quality that matches the engineering standards of the complete TT2.0 platform.
Technical Performance
The HOBAO HYPER TT2.0 platform is renowned in the RC community for delivering genuine 1/10 scale performance at a competitive price point. This carbon fibre front shock tower is an integral part of the suspension system, working in conjunction with the front shocks and lower suspension arms to deliver precise handling and consistent performance. Carbon fibre's inherent properties make it ideal for this application — it offers approximately three times the stiffness of aluminium at a fraction of the weight, which translates to faster steering response and more stable cornering when you're pushing your RC truggy to the limit. The material also resists flexing under load, maintaining suspension geometry during aggressive acceleration and hard braking. For competitive drivers running on UK race tracks or bashers exploring technical outdoor terrain, this lightweight upgrade reduces the overall centre of gravity and unsprung mass, both critical factors in achieving consistent lap times and reliable performance. The component is designed to work with the standard HOBAO Hyper TT2.0 shock absorbers and suspension linkages, ensuring that all your existing parts continue to function at their optimum.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Is the HOBAO HYPER TT2.0 Carbon Fibre Front Shock Tower suitable for my RC truggy? — This part is specifically engineered for the HOBAO Hyper TT2.0 platform. Before purchasing, confirm that your vehicle is a HOBAO Hyper TT2.0 model, as fitment is exclusive to this platform and is not compatible with other HOBAO models or competing brands. If you're unsure about your model, please contact our team at RC Model Shop.
- What are the advantages of upgrading to a carbon fibre shock tower? — Carbon fibre is significantly lighter than plastic whilst being much stiffer and more durable. The reduced weight improves acceleration and handling response, whilst the increased stiffness maintains suspension geometry more precisely during cornering and jumps. This makes it an excellent upgrade for both competitive racing and performance driving.
- How difficult is it to install this carbon fibre shock tower? — Installation is straightforward if you have basic RC knowledge and standard tools. The component is a direct replacement for the original plastic tower, so no modifications are required. Simply unbolt your existing tower from the suspension arms and shock mounting points, then bolt the carbon fibre tower in its place using the same fasteners. If you're new to RC maintenance, our team at RC Model Shop can offer guidance or advice.
- Will this upgrade make a noticeable difference to my RC truggy's performance? — Yes, carbon fibre shock towers do improve performance, particularly in precise handling and consistency. The reduced unsprung weight helps your suspension respond more quickly to terrain changes, whilst the increased stiffness prevents flex that can cause inconsistent suspension behaviour. For competitive drivers, these improvements can translate to noticeably faster lap times. For bashers, you'll notice snappier steering response and more stable cornering.
- Is this a genuine HOBAO part? — Yes, this is an official HOBAO factory component, not an aftermarket alternative. This ensures perfect fitment, quality that matches your vehicle's engineering standards, and compatibility with all other HOBAO Hyper TT2.0 parts.
- What is the difference between this carbon fibre tower and the standard plastic version? — The standard plastic tower that comes with the HOBAO Hyper TT2.0 is lighter and more cost-effective, making it ideal for casual driving. The carbon fibre version offers superior stiffness, better durability, and improved suspension response, making it the choice for competitive drivers and anyone seeking performance upgrades. The plastic version flexes slightly under hard cornering, whereas the carbon fibre tower maintains perfect geometry for more consistent handling.
