Unboxing: HoBao Hyper VT 1/8 Scale Road Car

[@GamerNRetro]

Reason I love your unboxings. You don't bore us by pulling everything out of the box.

[@tommyd3jr]

been eyeballing this car as well, now lookin forward to ur running vids! background looks sweet😎

[@L00n3y2010]

nice lil ride. Im excited to see what you are gonna do with it.

[@christopherthompson1987]

Swaybar and aluminum shock towers; wiish my HPI RS4 had come with those! Looks like a pretty nice car. Looking forward to the running video, Vas.

[@rcfrenzy]

Jealous, I am still telling myself I will own a 1/8 on-road one day! The power and size seems like it would make them a blast to drive.

[@christophermusgrove7636]

Great quality video vas. And enjoyable unboxing as always. Look forward to running vids and new esc 😉

[@RCmaxxUK]

nice vid mate. cool to see a road car on your chanel and a new 1 at that. look forward to some running vids and op.

[@kentrapnell9905]

Nice score. Similar to my Hobao Hyper GTBe only with the shorter 330mm chassis. Tyre's grip well but do balloon at speed. You'll need the OFNA hub extenders to fit the GRP's but the Sweep 84mm inner diameter GT belted tyres/wheels fit straight on and work well. Watch the centre driveshafts have bent a few.

[@travisbanman]

looks like a nice on road car, I've been watching your videos for over a year now and I'm looking forward to seeing you do some 100mph speed runs!

[@SHAYEN-cd5qw]

Looking forward to watching you tearing up the tarmac Vas.

[@Oliver-zw7tw]

Nice background, haircut looks great. Looking forward to a running video

[@l.e.miller2465]

Like the new background..the car seems pretty awesome as well. Keep up the good work Vas. Tks

[@franksantarcangelo1950]

Takin it ta da streets 😎.....cool I mostly have cars and trucks for the dirt also but I have one car for the street and I love it so I'm looking forward to a video of the hyper whichin comparison to other eighth scale street cars seem to have great value haircuts not too bad either 😊👍🏻

[@ruudxd1]

I do not have the pictures in front of me, but isn't it like ( or the same car ) as the Idea DM1 I think it was called? If so, you should be in great shape with this car, since the DM1 was the go to speedrun chassis a couple of years back. If I am correct Jang from URC had a build video series in that one? Keep up the good work, and greets from The Netherlands!

[@G1bsy]

Looks more like a Bugatti Veyron, what with the quad exhaust.

[@kjerud95]

Yes, or the Citroen gt on road.

[@samuelwong4152]

hobao really making alot goodies lately, I owns a Hyper ST Prokit which I convert it into EP running on 4s..... the truck is absolute brutal n simple durable, so far I broke nothing except a rear right wheel hub which occured during a very high speed jump n the truck was in the air more than 10feets n landed badly sideways..... there is NOTHING bent, nothing at all.....

[@bassjunkie4881]

We as in myself and a group of friends are building a huge off road 1/8 track where I live and we were thinking of adding an oval for 1/8 and this is the car I'm wanting beautiful car I own the 10tt n am impressed and have wanted another ho bao product ever since I got the lil truggy nice cid

[@bill9248]

Looking forward to the running video.

[@EyeOfRah]

I look forward to see you doing a run on this

[@jacobhendrickson8935]

This thing looks built very well. You just can't beat the 8th scale buggy platform for durability.

[@rcaficionado]

Looks interesting. What is the largest pinion that will fit? Looking forward to your running videos on this.

[@team69racing11]

hoboa make some good stuff!! very impressed and like to get a truck but car looks great!!!

[@stevem8871]

👍 looking forward for running video

[@feliciano1358]

That looks like a good base car for some speed runs.

[@VicToR_Rider]

It's a beauty now I want one damit Vas lol..The new background is awsome something I would like to do.

[@JoshKetchum]

Cool, cant wait to see how fast you make it go! So far my best is 105.8 mph with my slash 4x4 on 6s. Gotta hit 120 before Im happy lol!

[@natemorte]

Yea, your definitively gonna need some heavier weight shock fluid to dampen that bounce. My shocks where only half full when I got my car lol.. Also diffs need fluid I did mine to Mugen MGT7 specs since HoBao didn't have any for the GT. It just came with grease. Like said the springs are horrible even if you plan on running 6s expect a bunch of chassis slap even with the preload maxxed out.

[@fondfarewell2]

You got drift skills vas, may be a nice drifter.

[@craigschofield64]

Hi Vas, Try the hobbywing max6 1/6 scale or the max5 5th scale esc the I know the max6 is 8S and get a Poseidon P1527-B15 motor if you really want a speedster.....😉 You might have to make a custom motor mount but that isn't that big of a deal any local machine shop can do it fairly easy.

[@mtctookie25]

Nice can't wait to see what it can do!

[@sharksmaster]

looking forward to see your running video. .... man !!! what r u waiting for??? 😢 run it vas 😠 run it.

[@roynelson7613]

wow man that thing looks great everything about this looks great it's huge can't wait to see this one out ripping it up man this is going to be awesome as always a big thumbs up bro until the next episode

[@edwardbaldwin4252]

I got the 150amp version With the wp-8bl150. I got a new remote a turnigy gt5 and the esc is not letting me program it to the remote. Steering works but when I program it for the throttle it will not take the program.

[@lacucaracha111111]

the ackerman bracket hurts a little though just a metal rod piece and rout the antenna wire the other way around away froim the gearing

[@thepaddychannel]

Hi Vas, could you put in a link to the site you got the car from as cant find anyone with them in stock and needing to pre order. keep up the great work.

[@wheels6566]

Hi, great video. A price range would be nice for Aussie buyers!

[@pitchfork2011]

stepping up in the world with the new background lol

[@natemorte]

I believe the VS and VT share the same platform, on the HoBoa website also refereed to as LX-3 that the LX was a Hong Nor platform not sure if they share any components. The VT does share a lot of components with my Hyper GT, that I can say I'm happy with other than the lack of spring options for the shocks. Hopefully with the release of this model they will release some OP options for some firmer springs. And yes this car can go fast my Hyper GT has reached 112mph American with OP part 0069 and so gearing modifications.

[@crazyivan512]

Umm.. hate to spoil the .."this body should last me a good long while" ..moment, but.. you will put it on its lid during a speed run, a small rock, a little to much wheel input, a cross breeze .. something will make it blow over , but hey, that's part of the fun :)

[@swissrcbashers8643]

Whats that orange car in the background on the right? The arrma Talion? It looks so nice

[@Harmlessfendef]

Would you have been better getting the roller version , especially if your planning on changing esc/motor ?

[@abracadabra599]

Looks pretty nice :). The only thing I don't like are the wheels and tires the look wayyyyy too large

[@niciwhite3397]

cool backerund!

[@abdullahquan7663]

Hi could you do a video how to raise the chassis height so it's not too low to the ground. Thanks

[@aaronbaxter9935]

Don't be shy with the throttle in the corners

[@baracuda50]

Great video. Where can we buy this car?

[@xxrfmxx]

love back ground but one thing you had a green body on nero now its blue?

[@uglymusa1759]

need that run video asap

[@nfsfanAndrew]

pictures online and on that box dont do that car justice. looks much better in person. Still like my X-01 with my corvette body on it better though. :)

[@MatthewFant]

Take it to the bmx track. lol. Just kidding. Looks pretty damn good! I like the new shelving!

[@philipwild9134]

that looks sick

[@deborahduffis8857]

like the body shape .. how fast can it go

[@barharborbasher249]

looks like a preformer !! looking forward to 6s numbers🍻 nice hair cut btw😊

[@joshuabest100]

BarharborBasher can only do 4s stock

[@barharborbasher249]

RC MAD Shane on you for not finishing the video... he clearly states his intentions...👍

[@joshuabest100]

[@Nickysix6]

[@firstchoicecp]

[@jman03rc87]

Parma muscle car bodies for this!

[@harleychristensen3650]

Is that orange truggy over his left shoulder his talion?

[@botonet]

VT chassis is really flat or in the front axle has some angle ?? All new 1/8 gt cars models has a bit. I need know if this model is flat or not.

[@piet1658]

Awesome!

[@wooty8721]

Great video mate, looking to do the same thing with a on-road car, are you in QLD?

[@AussieRCPlayground]

I’m in Melbourne, VIC.

[@Bustedrc]

I have wanted to get a dedicated on-road car. Towerhobbies.com will have this in stock soon. It does not say what ESC is in it yet. But may have to get me one.

[@comanderv2489]

Do you know some good RC shops or manufacturers

[@thatsmyrc]

So should I pull the trigger on this one as well? Looks bad ass I think I'll go with the grey thou?

[@thatsmyrc]

Bought it but went with the grey.

[@gabec1669]

ThatsMyRc what are your thoughts on this so far? Thinking of getting this too.

[@monkeyguy80]

I will buy this car!

[@nikelike8829]

[@curtisdavis716]

[@otisskopik1400]

very nice

[@curlycat3959]

Looks like a lykan hypersport from the back and bugatti chiron from the front

[@ilovekaka786]

Are these any good?

[@GazCle]

Audi R8, TT, looks like a veyron from the side, grille looks Aston Martin/Jaguar esque but it mostly looks like a Hyper VT from HoBao lol... 100mph club next then Vas ``o=o¬ RCYAL8R

[@topchoice32]

where can u get parts for this thing

[@bash_king_rc]

Is it worth buying?

[@carsongladwell1387]

Would you recommend the hyper mt or the arrma Nero

[@carsongladwell1387]

Or the Kraton

[@43rocket]

where did you buy this?

[@renatomxpx]

This car or kyosho gt2 ?

[@OneCupOfCoffee204]

No test drive?????

[@utrak]

[@Rahvanteli]

Looks like a veyron with a chiron and ford kinda front end

[@reidledgerwood736]

Looks very much like the Citroen GT

[@jaymitchrc]

[@AussieRCPlayground]

It's coming, just haven't had time.

[@jaymitchrc]

yea just curious to see how fast this thing is on 6s

[@Raul-yd8yg]

The front really looks like the latest ford mondeo to me

[@AndysRC08]

That body is based on the CITROËN GT

[@nikelike8829]

and I want to bey a new rc car , can someone give me a tipp

[@jman03rc87]

Try driving it offroad

[@randkprouductions]

looks a lot like the new bugatti chiron..

[@sundell79]

Vs rally hobby king

[@brysonmorrow6980]

More like the Bugatti Chiron

[@floozyish]

5 minutes in and you still don't have the body off...shame on you

[@AussieRCPlayground]

That's why KZbin provides a "scroll" bar where you can just skip ahead.

[@InTheDogHouse3DPrinting]

Well said Vas.
