CHEAP 4S HYPER VSE 1/8 Build is still GREAT in 2022!!

[@Rahvanteli]

Great car I've had it for 2.5 years. The new VS2 is basically the same car with a bunch of upgraded parts, a new body and new front suspension.

[@beyondRC]

love it!! Tempted by a VS2!

[@Top-Jimmy]

I can honestly vouch for Hobao RC's. I own a few of them, They are as tough as nails, easy to work on and with the right config, absolutely mad as a cut snake. On my daily go to buggy being a 1/8, Hyper 7 ex nitro converted to a 6s capable system, I'm running 4s 8000mAh 100c ''shorty'' packs from Zeee (Ovonic have the same size) and we have clocked it at 105 kph on the hard sand down the beach. Its running Louise B-Rock tyres meant for hardcore rally dirt stages which the diameter is like gearing it up further without changing the pinion out. 30,000 in the front and back and 100,000 in the center. She bites seriously hard. These things are built like tanks and most of the hardware is compatible with some Arrma parts but in my honest opinion, My Hobao's are more durable and I absolutely run them hard, I'm not a skate park flyer, I drive them, They take an absolute beating, I will continue to collect any I find until the day I die. It's nice to have all the big Arrma RC's, both on road and offroad in which I own, But these things are in a separate cage... Once you own one you will see why. Great video as always mate... God bless and take care all. PEACE 👊👊🙏

[@beyondRC]

Awesome! My hyper 10 sc has just turned up looking forward to building that!

[@beyondRC]

What do you think of Hobao? The Hyper 7 is still one of my favourite RC Buggies of all time and i love my Hyper VSE! Doing something like this is definitely a great idea as you can save hundreds and have a buggy just as good and capable as the more expensive stuff. Spares are available and these things are built like tanks!! Be sure to subscribe to the channel if you haven't already. Next giveaway will be the 20k Giveaway and i will announce all the info at 17k! This is still a good few months away but just letting you know it will be happening! 😎👍

[@roxypda]

I have two of these, really a solid platform. Did you see, Hobao has a new buggy this year and a speed car too?

[@themustangone6449]

Wanted to get one of these since ur first vid on the subject. Here in u.s not sure they are as popular but still looking..we dont have some brands like ftx etc.

[@beyondRC]

@@roxypda I have seen them and I am very tempted!

[@vitodambra72]

Man i missy hyper nitro buggy , i had a .28 RB motor with blue head and turbo pipe. Thing was a beast 😉👍🏼💯. Brings me back to 2008-2010 thanks bro great video💯

[@ipperurc5216]

Couple of years ago, I bought 60 Eur LRP sc 2wd body, I put 10 Eur servo and goolrc esc 60a + 3800kv motor to that. Then I got old transmitter and receiver (flysky gt2b 30 Eur) I remember that there was 23t pinion and 52t spur. With 3s: 48,78 miles in hour!!!

[@DanjaBis]

love the VSE, just converted to a vs2 front suspension and steering setup, handles so good. I'm running a castle mmx 6s / 1512 2650kv with a 19t pinion. Highly recommend the hobao extended hubs and a set of badland 2.8 mx's (the thinner ones) for really good air control. Double flips with ease.

[@beyondRC]

Very nice! Will have a look at those upgrades!

[@skybasherrc2372]

The VSE is an awesome (race ready) buggy. I bought one new last year for my first race car and it has held up and performed wonderfully. Great vid 👊

[@Storyracing387]

That's pretty cool! I'm in the process of building Back Slash converted to 1/8 scale buggy. Hopefully by the time summer hits, I'll be hitting my large scale race at Wicked Weekend 👍 cheers!

[@rickrogers2649]

Great job proving that speed is not always in direct proportion to money spent. Cheers.

[@beyondRC]

Exactly! Cheers Rick!

[@MatthewSimm]

This is awesome dude! id really love to try something like a budget basher build!

[@beyondRC]

Absolutely! It's surprising how much you can get for the money on the 2nd hand market! If I waited for an ESC to come up, I think it would have been even cheaper!! A 6s capable car for under £200 imagine that haha

[@alantaylor353]

And it's still great in 2024.! Hobao are AWESOME.!!!

[@philhumber1534]

That's impressive for what you put into it,plus it also looks awesome!

[@beyondRC]

Cheers Phil!

[@cbix86]

Somehow only just stumbled across this video, but you actually bought the roller off me back in the day! Was my sons old basher and great to see it still lives on, actually now got my eye out for another one as we have got back in to basher recently and still think they are the best bang for your buck and tough as nails 👍🏻

[@beyondRC]

I remember this haha! Great buggies mate. It’s been given to a friends son but I still see them all the time they are part of my bashing group and the hyper lives on. It also looks pretty much the same 😎👍

[@cbix86]

@@beyondRC that’s great news, I love seeing my old cars still getting enjoyed especially if it’s for a youngster 🙂

[@rcbustanut2057]

Very nice build, I have been seeing more of these vehicles out there lately. Specially in speedrun builds, 130mph+!! Great budget can be achieved if you're patient & search 🔎 really well. I personally prefer a nice roller that I can build & tailor myself to my liking, whether used or new. RTRs are great for beginners who aren't very sure at what they want or how to build & modify a vehicle mainly so they still have their place. Great vid bro! 😎👍

[@dab_bod3520]

My iconic batteries have been nothing but great to me

[@icabodpsillycyberman414]

I used to have a JLB Cheetah (50+ 3s around 70 4s) Useless piece of cheese-i have now gutted it, and a Hobao roller is what i have been thinking about for the Motor/esc-this just confirms its a good idea-Going to look for a Truggy roller though! Already got a Dumbo x6 and a couple of spare rx's, already got batteries, only need the roller!

[@catcancrunch7260]

Looks wise it's 💯 Percent and a respectable top speed thanks for your upload 👍🙏🐈

[@beyondRC]

Cheers mate 👍😎

[@NoLimitRC87]

Fairplay bud, such a awesome build that looks and peforms the part. I think anyone would struggle to buy any rc car new that peforms as well as that just did for the money, so I totally agree with you definitely worth putting the time in and shopping around 😉 what forum did you find it on please bud? I really enjoyed that video 👌

[@beyondRC]

I got very lucky picking up the chassis for a bargain price, but they do come up if you look out for them! Check out msuk forum (modelsport UK forum) not sure if you are UK based but they have a great bunch of guys on there who post some great stuff for sale and that's where I found the chassis and motor for this build! Glad you enjoyed. Cheers

[@jah-jah87]

You have to make a video where you turn it into a truggy. Please

[@luvadealme]

HI Ricky, durability wise how does vs1e compare to a SSTE truggy as I know you are a fan of those.

[@beyondRC]

both extremely durable i have barely broken a thing on both!

[@ISOSAILING]

got one and love it!! do nead new weels for it as the ones you get with it are crap though, got a max10 3200kv combo in it more than fast enough on 3s it wont take 4s as it dose get warm but not bad i got it for another car and justy thought i'd try it and its good enough for me!!

[@SEEYAIAYE]

Pretty nice speeds for such a cheap build. 6s seems like it'd be a hassle to keep in a straight line.

[@beyondRC]

Its great on 4s and plenty fast enough. The ESC can handle 6s and i have no doubt the buggy would hold up but part of me does think its unnecessary!

[@Rahvanteli]

I always run mine on 6s and I haven't had any problems keeping it in a straight line.

[@jasonjones4891]

My favorite race buggy was the hyper 9 and e version.

[@beyondRC]

Never had a Hyper 9! Would love one!

[@gillian9178]

Not budget, but Hobao recently released their new Hyper VS2 roller.

[@beyondRC]

Looks Awesome!

I may or may not be hoarding those discontinued ARRMA motors. they just won't die!

[@beyondRC]

Brilliant motors. Took a chance as it was untested and its been flawless. Now everything is spektrum from Arrma 🤔🙄

[@jimtempleton7418]

Hey love Ur videos I want a 1/5 or 1/8 size i dont like Small trucks. Also I want one ready just charge battery up ready to go kind of thing!; Get me a spare battery and will have nearly one hour if fun lol I'm 53 lol I want get into them When I get up 5-6am stead of being Lazy I will just get up and go to my little park lol Can u tell me any from Wish??

[@allyhellkiller5535]

I am 53 and I use rc cars for training and exercise for my hunting dogs.The Xmaxx was a pos right out of the box.I hate working on them and rather be having fun with them.We are on the same mission.👍

[@dominokid7996]

I want to do this , but I need someone to help me spot a good buggy , components to buy as I’ve never built one, but would put in the effort , if anyone can help ? I’d even appreciate where I can get one ?

[@rickgrafter]

stick 6s in it why not show what it can do

[@cwatson42785]

No offense but this build is kinda pointless as an option to the rest of us. You got a abnormal deal on the hyper vse. None of us will find one around 100$

[@beyondRC]

None Taken but the point I am making here is cheap deals can and will come up on the used market it may be rare but it does happen. I paid £95 here in the UK which is about $130 we have to remember the currency conversions are at play with the pricing. Lets consider a budget slightly higher than what I paid I still think its possible to put together a bulletproof buggy that is quick, well built, durable and looks great whilst still being half the price of a Arrma Equivalent. You may not agree but this was a project I wanted to see if I could pull off and again I did with a lot of Luck!

[@cwatson42785]

@@beyondRC Nah you make some great points. It really is a great build and yeah deals are out there for sure! Great job
