Hobao Hyper MTX Build and First Run - Best 1/8 RC Monster truck?

[@zeisslersrccars9696]

What a great playground for rc cars ❤🇩🇰

[@out4lox262]

amazing, right? envious.

[@simbanugz2906]

One thing I will say about 1/8 ofna, hobao, hong nor brands. The diff gears are built right, I've never broke one on par with tekno. I would go through my Arrma 6s Diff gears about every 50 runs. Be curious how everything holds up after a few big bash sessions. Great video like always.

[@RazorRC]

thanks, the drivetrain seems pretty stout and held up well

[@tooleyzrc1973]

I think those front tires are going to kick rocks straight back to those batteries. Great looking truck though and I'm super jealous of your bash spot

[@RazorRC]

thanks, yeah I'm lucky with this location, just gotta go early before all the kids show up with their bikes!

[@patmarcus172]

Really interesting style of construction. So different to nearly everything else. Look forward to your tuning video…..a big week for RC and look forward to hearing your impressions of the Traxxas XRT.

[@RazorRC]

Cool stuff released this week, who said I was going to get an XRT, I mean…. I guess that wouldn’t be the worst thing to happen! 🤔🙂🔥🚀😀

[@46HerveGabriel20]

Merci pour les sauts😜un very good MT👍

[@vinnyw373]

Pinion spur connection can use some love. I got no doubt that you can tune that badboy to purr soon enough. Keep up the cool content. Peace

[@ReadySetRC]

Nice run👍 On the MT Plus2, thicker diff oil did a world of good. I never ran the stock wheel and tires but I'm still looking for options. This looks impressive. Can't wait for your next run.

[@RazorRC]

yeah I'm going to put in some diff oil, I think it comes with grease out of the box.

[@zappa6366]

looking forward to more videos on this!

[@CommanderAstigRC]

Great first bash Bro. I'll Def go through my diffs and shocks before my first run.

[@truenewsglobal]

That BMX track is amazing. Where is it?

[@kaosr.c]

Nice first run ! I enjoyed that .... 🔥🤘🏻

[@sambagogo777]

A comparison video between this new short wheelbase Hyper MTX and either Outcast 4S v2 or Outcast 6S would be very interesting to observe.

[@RazorRC]

I think the Savage X is the most similar competitor, will do a comparison with that that and maybe the Outcast 6S also.

[@martyshaw9143]

Love the design of these Hobao trucks and aussie rc playground has had tons of success with them, hope ya work out the kinks and it ends up being a solid basher.

[@philthyco1]

I dig it for sure!

[@bransonbasher6534]

Jesus H. Finally!

[@speedgears1236]

Hi Im looking at buying this the rtr. Do you know the battery tray dimensions. Im looking at gens ace 5300 with xt90

[@jeremycravens6973]

nice run, but I was hoping to see it perform a little better!

[@RazorRC]

Needs some tuning

[@jerryvolpini7987]

Looks promising but definitely needs some tweaking. Interested to see more. 👍

[@Luke-en2tk]

Optional springs are also available

[@RazorRC]

Thanks for the info!

[@The_Actual_CarlJr]

The diffs probably only have a little grease in them. My MT plus is a blast at the skatepark. I enjoy it more than the kraton sometime. Throw on a set of backflips and it's a different truck. I moved my rear shocks out at the top to prevent the rear slamming so hard.

[@RazorRC]

some new tires would help this truck a lot

[@Andre_M_3D]

Nice. I like it. Ĺove the color you chose as well. You don't see this brand much in Canada. It's too bad because it looks like a good alternative

[@cwatson42785]

Razor I wish you would review a Cen Reeper at some point. It's a beast. It's a 1/7th scale monster truck. I switched out the hexes to 24mm and put on the 8s outcast backflips and the thing is a beast. It's the only reason I've never got one of these hobaos yet.

[@RazorRC]

yeah, a friend of mine has one and I've driven it a few times, seems pretty tough. he usually breaks all his cars and I think he only had the electronics fall out or something.

[@cwatson42785]

@@RazorRC Yeah I've been really impressed with it for sure. I like these tvp style trucks. Don't have to worry about chassis bending and also doesn't collect and store as much dirt and debris

[@earlmoorhead5555]

Nice run chassis looks good seems you where holding back a little ? Normally you send it off the rip but seeing a shock break ? Wonder how it will hold up & now traxxas dropped a bomb with a 8s Kraton competitor hmm $1000.00 for the XRT maybe this is a better buy ?

[@RazorRC]

Yeah I usually take it a little easy the first time out, but I was getting hardly any traction and the steering was bad, so I couldn’t really get the power down properly half the time. Needs a little tuning and then I think it will drive a lot better.

[@marxnex71]

Really like the look of this but those batteries look way too vulnerable hanging out the sides like that. 🤔

[@barbedwirerat661]

Was thinking the exact same thing...would be concerned about running this on natural, ungroomed terrain.

[@lawrencefournier686]

That can go in the other way also so you don’t have the batt showing

[@nickhathaway4617]

Watch Stephane z video he kicks the shit out of it

[@RazorRC]

Yeah I might get some soft packs to run.

[@nickhathaway4617]

Does the chassis slap.someone said older models didn't so dog bones would bend

[@RazorRC]

barely kinda, not really

[@jbrc1322]

Fun looking truck that would benefit from some tuning. Did the shock shaft break or just pull out from the rod end?

[@RazorRC]

the shock shaft snapped right at the rod end

[@jbrc1322]

@@RazorRC aw, bummer. Do you feel like the shocks bottom out before the chassis hits the ground? I watched a travel demonstration on another channel, and it looks like it takes quite a bit of force for the chassis to bottom out. Possibly putting undue stress on the suspension components?

[@cwatson42785]

This was available as a kit without the electronics?

[@RazorRC]

yes $530 w/o electronics, $730 with

[@cwatson42785]

@@RazorRC Thanks Razor. I messaged your buddy from your link!

[@pirad-lercbike7824]

Very intersting vid and defintely a car worth looking at! Did you measure the weight of the car after finishing the built? Would be nice to know ☺️. Keep on bashing - greetings from germany‘s south 🏴‍☠️👋🏼

[@theguyinthecomments9543]

Gear mesh sounds choppy but that could be cuz they are mod 1 or 8. Miss my hyper tt. Everyone complained about diff problems but I never had any issues. I believe they are machined and beveled. I think it has a lot to do with the driver.

[@RazorRC]

a little noisy for sure

[@rcintro1489]

It did good! One hell of a fucking play ground! Where is that?

[@kspectre21]

That was an unexpected failure for sure. I'm surprised at how quick you get it ready and the video out but it was cool while it lasted. Definitely an interesting runner and I'm interested to see how it handles once you get the Diffs and Servo Saver sorted :)

[@RazorRC]

got some pretty big air and backflips in, was a little surprised the shock shaft broke, but oh well.

[@kspectre21]

@@RazorRC Indeed, considering how beefy the chassis is I definitely expected the shock shafts themselves to be able to withstand the impacts. Sadly not though. Are you planning on going aftermarket for the shocks or just giving the OEM ones a 2nd chance?

[@BigfootYusuf]

Why is it that whenever someone ask or request to see our rc perform something we tend to fail 😂😂😂😂 but when we do it alone without anyone asking it perform very well.

[@RazorRC]

Truth! 🤣

[@Wild_Buggy]

And that is the same experience I had with the 1/7 Hobao MT+2. It breaks down every few jumps. It has big durability issues...

[@stephanez8036]

really ?? what parts do you break ?

[@paulclancy2404]

Looks pretty durable to me , nothing going be as forgiving as plastic but plastic rcs don't have the same feel , it's give and take.

[@Wild_Buggy]

@@stephanez8036 The plastic scissor-shaped parts that connect the wheels to the car and the c-hubs. Too heavy for its own good.

[@stephanez8036]

@@Wild_Buggy it's true, this one is fragile : i made my own alu version. Hobao sells a CNC version ut it's 50usd. i 'm not used to buy hop up parts haha, so i make my own

[@jonvoogd511]

That looks alot like the Hobao Hyper Sport Plus same big tires. It's big a pos. Weak diffs, pot metal spur, good luck finding a new one when the spur gear explodesI hope it's built way better than the sport plus is.

[@andrewmui2633]

Theres no pot metal parts on this car or the older mtplus II. Most definitely not the spur or any of the gears including pinions and diff bevel gears. Probably the most wrong thing I've seen anyone say. Simply not true.

[@jonvoogd511]

Like I said I hope it better than the Hobao Hyper Sport Plus. It's junk!

[@thejeepinrealtor5742]

My powerhobby servos have been fine for the money. But not exceptional or anything. Protek is better imo for same or tad bit more money. Imo ymmv and all that ha

[@RazorRC]

Yeah I’m not incredulous or whatever, they seem solid, but not amazing.

[@paulrobinson9355]

Great video and sorry about the shock piston 😓 Think I'll stick with my Team Corally, Arrma and Maverick Hpi tho 🇬🇧🇬🇧

[@vacatedbroom6237]

I've had a few Hobao models, build quality was alright, but I just hated the driving characteristics of their stuff, no matter what I did none of them seemed to handle the way I would've liked

[@RazorRC]

the hyper TT was super hard to get it to drive right, this one is interesting, I have some thoughts

[@Marcoskicks]

In RC Car Garage videos they sound nothing like this.

[@RazorRC]

I greased the transmission, filled the diffs with fluid and reset the mesh and it sounds 1000x better.

[@Marcoskicks]

@@RazorRC sounds it!

[@jeremycravens6973]

sounds terrible!

[@joseCalderon1976]

Yeah. I don't like how it's sounds TBH.
