Hobao Hyper VT 1/8th 6S Super Car - Unboxing

[@ZAKRC]

Awesome video, rich! I have a classic HoBao hyper tt myself and its amazing. Love their products!

[@TheRCNetwork]

Nice! Yeah, they do make great products

[@CEPHALEXIN323]

I had a hyper tt myself I was the loudest rc in the track. That spur gear gear a hard plastic that created loud noise.

[@rickyg77]

The mugen mbx6 frot center cvd fit prerfect on this kit. Just want to add that. Nice video!

[@ashirwadanand2333]

awesome video rich. love the new theme song.

[@TheRCNetwork]

Ashirwad Anand thanks AA....something different for music

[@TheDeterminedFisherman]

Great unboxing video!

[@TheRCNetwork]

Thanks DJDave!

[@thatsmyrc]

That 150amp esc is a option norm comes with the 100amp. I got the 150esc sent from Hobao. This rc is tuff as nails had mine since its first release. But the tires no good on 6s. Just use the grp tires. I switched out bodies. Stock loves to catch wind and go air born..Proved that for poop's n grins in one of my vids. Yet you can slap all the way up to a 30T traxxas X)-1 pinion gear in this with either a simple mod of motor mount of if feeling lucky run with one bolt on the slide. Great Rc good review!

[@TheRCNetwork]

Nice! Thanks for watching!

[@karlpeart1752]

B great to hear the body shell scraping on the road

[@TheRCNetwork]

Yep, it sure did

[@AussieRCPlayground]

Nice one Rich. Great car, but you'll need to lower the chassis and raise the body. Bin the tyres and the crappy Deans plugs then you're good to go. Well, tyres will hold on 4S, but you'll destroy them on 6S, they are too soft. Oh, and you'll need some thicker oil in the centre diff. Good to see you with something different and I look forward to seeing your videos on this one. Cheers.

[@TheRCNetwork]

+Aussie RC Playground hey Vas - yeah, I noticed the body height in the first run......and I delete Deans now for XT90's. Hope you're doing well! 😃

[@realcrazyrc9180]

Rocking the rc network want one of these.

[@RCTeamAustria]

[@TheRCNetwork]

Thanks RCTA!

[@PeterWeber]

Awesome looking body and beautiful RC for on the road. Great video.

[@TheRCNetwork]

Thanks Peter! I agree!

[@richardfazio2417]

I have the vitage monster pirate w 2 speed trans almost mint.been ponderin selling it but it's to damn cool.

[@TheRCNetwork]

Nice!

[@fondfarewell2]

looks like the esc is 3s and up, i know the old 150a was 2s capable. use to run them in short course truck on 2s and it works good.

[@TheRCNetwork]

Very well might be....thanks for watching!

[@kylebecker3312]

What a beast

[@TheRCNetwork]

Kyle Becker yeah, it's fast too! Running video will be out this week

[@jonathansalabarria1992]

on towerhobbies they have the hyper vte which goes for 489.99 and then they have the hyper vt for $739.99. what are the differences between the two? I am looking to purchase a 1/8th onroad. thanks!

[@thatsmyrc]

I think its only the 100amp esc for 4s and then the 150amp esc for 6s. I can't figure that out either on pricing differance? When it first hit the market I pre ordered one that stated it was 4s/6s capable. Yet it was only 4s with the 100amp esc. After contacting Hobao its was worked out, Great customer service :-) Vas on Aussie Rc mentioned that also in his first run video.

[@TheRCNetwork]

Yes, the $739 version has the 150amp esc, is 4s/6s capable and has quite a few other uprgades like the better quality aluminum on all the bits like the top plate, shocks, etc

[@abdullahquan7663]

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

[@TheRCNetwork]

Not really a video worthy thing.....simply twisting the shock collars - toward the top of the shocks - this will either tension the springs raising the chassis up or loosen the springs lowering the chassis

[@abdullahquan7663]

@@TheRCNetwork I thought there were also some chassis screws which we could also manipulate to do this but I could be wrong. Thanks anyway

[@rcjunky2415]

Nice car Rich, I hope you give us an idea of the top speed. I am really looking forward to the running video.

[@TheRCNetwork]

When I went to do the running vid....I left my GPS! urgh! The running vid will air on Monday, but I plan for a top speed vid soon. Stay tuned! It is fast though!

[@thatsmyrc]

Cool can't wait..I feel you on the gps. I have one that doesnt work so well or half the time but now I got a garmin. I need to get back out and let it rip. This is a solid tuff Rc from Hobao.

[@dannywilcock5529]

please do an upgrade video on this. I'm struggling to find upgrades for my vs

[@TheRCNetwork]

danny wilcock yeas, I do have a few upgrades planned....not too much as it really doesn't need it

[@dannywilcock5529]

The RCNetwork sweet thanx. looking forward for more great videos

[@robertkotevski9649]

great video

[@TheRCNetwork]

Thanks Robert!

[@jackdaniel1242]

wow..nice car

[@TheRCNetwork]

Thanks Jack

[@renatomxpx]

Hi, this car or kyosho gt2 ??

[@TheRCNetwork]

I'm not a fan of the Kyosho

[@wilsta67]

why dont they use a two speed gearbox in the electric cars.

[@TheRCNetwork]

It's not needed, much like how Tesla full size cars don't have transmission

[@casparjenk1494]

make rock rey riunning videos please

[@TheRCNetwork]

caspar jenk it will be coming.....stay tuned!

[@humblerc841]

cool!

[@TheRCNetwork]

Thanks Humble!

[@HelterSkelter199]

Wonder if they just copied the old airtronics 75mhz mx-3 or actually bought the molds.

[@TheRCNetwork]

Could be....it does look similar!

[@ray4493]

Having a rpm of 2000/volt for this price range seems like a low blow.. or am I wrong here?

[@TheRCNetwork]

2000kv on 6s is just fine....and FAST!

[@NOFEAR921]

Water proof reciever case? NO! Splash proof? Maybe, depends from the conditions you drive and the whether. And i am sure because i have Hyper SS Truggy witch use the same reciever box like this one. I wish it was water proof. But it isn't!

[@TheRCNetwork]

Теодор Хлебаров first icon on the box is "waterproof". Living in a dry climate, I'm never too concerned with water/resistant/proof, etc. also, it's a pain to clean up a wet/muddy rig.

[@ehunter2010ed]

Maybe xo1 killer cool whip rich

[@ehunter2010ed]

Those rims did really look aluminum I thought they were must be the color. Cant wait for the speed runs.

[@TheRCNetwork]

I agree! Thanks for watching!

[@davidwatkin1484]

@7.30 batteries in PARALLEL NOT IN SERIES Nice video

[@TheRCNetwork]

David Watkin sorry, but you’re mistaken. The ESC in this model comes with two battery leads to run two 3s Lipos in Series, which will power the vehicle on double the voltage not double the mah/runtime like a parallel connection.

[@adyjw33]

Ehh... Not impressed. I'd rather just convert a 1/8 buggy. The drivetrain looks ok but the bod and the wheels are hideous.. I call it the Fugati!!!

[@TheRCNetwork]

adyjw33 1/8th Buggy will have way too much suspension travel.....I know, I tried it! 😃

[@Wazza722]

Doesnt look scale at all!x01 looks heaps better!

[@TheRCNetwork]

Both the XO1 and the Hyper VT are not meant to look "scale" - they both have a futuristic look.

[@Wazza722]

Not too many rc cars do look scale these days i know, but the vt looks stupid!
