Does anybody have a clue when FMS/Rochobby is gonna release the "Magnum Scaler" 1950 Ford pickup in the US? I see it's already out in the AU. I'm honestly tempted to get one sent from the AU early, and I'm even a little worried it may never officially get released here in the US.

Hobao diffs are bullet proof, the shorter wheelbase Hyper GT version is also a great handling chassis & a tad cheaper as well. Got to love Hobao's.

[@TomleyRC]

I’ve heard good things about them 👌

[@aljensen7779]

If I'm a fanboy of anything, it's Hobao. I bought their 1/8 roller buggy & that's what I've been racing with. It has amazing control and I opted for the Torsen diffs, so it performs even better on a dirt track. It'd be very, very interesting to see how a drifter like this one would perform with Torsen diffs. I'm sold on this one, now. If I were to invest in another 1/8 roller, it would be this one. Thanks for showcasing it, Phil. Nice one-handed driving, too.

[@kelevra558]

Not at all a fan of the wheels but i dig this thing. Ive noticed, in reference to RC cars, they're always toe'd in SUPER aggressively on the rear and toe'd out on the front. That creates unbelievably unstable and twitchy handling. I adjust every single RC car i own to 0° of toe in the rear and just a dab of toe in up front. Toe in up front will make it much more stable in a straight line. Just a very slight amount though. Im talking like half to three quarters of a degree. I also normally lay the front negative camber in about 3° and zero out the rear. It also helps if you run much, much thicker shock oil in the rear dampers only. Which effectively slows the rebound WAY down. It really settles that snap oversteer down a lot and allows for more predictable weight transfer. Companies always give you much, much too hard of a spring rate. If you can get your rc car to actually weight transfer nicely, man, it makes an astronomical difference. You can get a ton of vertical support through the dampers alone. This is with ON ROAD stuff only. Do not do this to your kraton, xrt, xmaxx, none of them. You need toe out in the front and toe in on the rear in dirt. You need that really aggressive response with steering input on the dirt. It helps rotate the car then you simply stand on the throttle and let 'er eat after the apex.

You know your stuff 👊🏾

[@michaeldorich4485]

Thanks for sharing. This an excellent video. The orange paint looks very good. It appears to be a very good car. The receiver box is odd. It looks like a lot of fun. I have always felt the Hobao cars appear to be good cars, but in this highly competitive market they are a little over priced. Using your link for the U.S. the car lists for $330. You can buy an brushless 3S RTR Infraction with AVC for about $400.

[@TomleyRC]

They seem very well built, but lack so the exposure they deserve

[@Elektrognulf]

You can't really compare a 3S Arrma with a Hobao Hyper GT.

[@michaeldorich4485]

@@Elektrognulf In the U.S. if I want to street bash I can buy the 3S RTR Infraction with AVC and have almost much fun. If I buy the Hobao I have to buy an esc/motor combo and a radio system. I can go faster with a 6S Hobao, but at what cost? I just wish it was cheaper in the U.S.

[@hashimrahman51]

A proper 1/8 GT car blows anything in their 3S lineup out of the water. The build quality and materials on these cars is great too. It’s a totally different class of car IMO.

Love the orange Phil, I nearly did both my GT and SSTE bright orange but I went with a Kawasaki-looking green in the end with blue led light strips underneath the GT 😁 I've had both a couple of years now and still don't understand why more people aren't talking about the 1/8 Hobao's, I reckon it's because they're fairly priced, people probably think they're maybe not that good which is so wrong,the build quality is way better than any of my Arrma's imo

As i have just bought the RTR GT version, i have got to say its a beautiful piece of chassis kit /body shell, and well worth the money compared to other new RC cars i have just bought around a similar price, like my HPI WR8 FLUX 3 for instance, the HoBao hyper GT RTR is a beautifully built chassis and body shell for its quality at its price, and am chuffed to bits with all my new RTR road RC cars at all prices from the cheapest to the dearest . 😁.
