This RC Monster Truck is a BEAST, but you may not have seen it!

[@3SonsRC]

I have been saying "This is the Toughest RTR RC Truck/MT/or truggy Period" ☑️ And it actually handles VERY well. Nice run brother

[@RCWilderness]

I might have to check one of these out.

[@cordite7207]

Gotta say, I'm super jealous of that bike track, really great place for a bash

[@sasquatchfoote8235]

I have 3 Hobaos, they are Awesome and underrated.

[@KevinTalbotTV]

ive got the older nitro version, bit disappointed with it, those rear tie rods suck, keeps killing diff cups maybe with a few mods it might be ok but not really many upgrades available

[@TomleyRC]

Any RC you own probably breaks on purpose to tap out early and avoid further abuse 😅 Maybe these newer ones have been beefed up... we shall see I guess

[@tonytravers5122]

This is a far superior update to the nitro old version ….honestly all I’ve added to mine is cnc knuckles and added oils to the diff and a chassis braces plate you can add two of you want ….im going to say it its up there with the x Maxx or even surpasses the Xmaxx in durability …considering the mods needed to make a stock xmaxx durable it’s a bargain I got this a week ago Black Friday early deals for £430 rtr version and it is a steal

[@skybasherrc2372]

Hobao is an over looked company IMO too. I have the Hyper MT Plus II and its one of my favorite bashers. Great video!

[@johncampbell4747]

I had its big brother a few years ago. Absolutely mental - certainly a lot bigger than a Kraton 6s and waaaaay more lunacy. Used to blow tyres off at will. Body clips were shite and the body was made of tissue paper but I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again - Hobao make THE best diffs in RC, they are fantastic. I’ve had a few Hobao scars over the years and I’ve actually just bought a VT road car - they are great value on the second hand market as the bits that are shite are very visible and not too expensive to replace. Keep up the good work Phil.

[@TastierBackInThe80s]

Few years back I worked in a hobby shop, the rest of team would constantly bang on about Hobao buggies and how good they were.

[@mossyhollow3732]

I’m waiting for the Tomley /Sam Pilgrim collaboration.

[@moereefer]

a lot are taking about it across the pond in usa it actually does come with lights front and rear. I know for a fact rtr does a lot of people had the Hobao MT PLUSS 2 which was 1/7 scale. but great truck people love it in 🇺🇸

[@mattster197]

First of all I love Hobao. I was running their products back when they were sold under the OFNA name. I have 3 Hoboa, 2 of which are Hyper 7 TQ, the toughest buggy ever made. This is a sweet one. The upgraded model. You got the spider diffs straight off and the shocks and aluminum chassis upgrades. Thats the MTX for ya. I like it man. Now get rough with it!

[@klippschliefer4968]

toughest buggy= d power beast BX!!! I know no one knows this crappy piece of shit, but apart from its poor handling, lack of ANY adjustments or the ability to repair it, because the screws are glued in with some stupid superglue ( and yes we still talk about hobbygrade), it was physically indestructible! I run this thing full speed( brushless btw) into a lamp post, spinning around itself for a hundred years... No problem at all! I think it was so tough because it was one solid block of plastic, wich almost completely remofed its ability to drive ( habdled like an X maxx with pancakes as wheels) , but make it as durable as a... solid block of plastic... but it eventually gave up the ghost because of a broken diff, wich btw was an almost X maxx sized one in an 1/10. And because i couldnt remove it, i sold this piece of garbage on ebay for 40$. But theres no way something is NEARLY as tough as this thing.

[@michaelinzitari]

No not spider diffs. Just hardened gear set. Spider is 6 gear completely different found in hyper ST Pro

[@shaunodriscoll]

I love Hobao trucks I have an earlier model but essentially the same and bought as a roller. It’s had a good beating and stood up well. Although I did bend the chassis after a particularly bad landing from about five meters up😂 great video I’ve only just found you so will be catching up on old content

[@andrewmagro7703]

Hobao and team Corally are always the underdogs and dont get enough love imho

Thankyou for another great video.

@tomleyRC1 Do you have a number I can call you by Mr. Tomely?

[@johnellefa]

Initially I thought this car was a bit lackluster. But the more I see it. They more I realise it's really damn good.

[@paulmcnamara16]

Looks a beastie for sure. Nobody's talking about it, because HB didn't send dozens out to influencers to review for free if you know what I mean! I take a big magnet with me on a bash for finding metal bits in grass!

[@AlexHT100]

More Hobao and Losi pls love 🤘

[@michaeldorich4485]

It's a great looking basher. Thanks for sharing it. I am not sure why we don't see more of their cars being tested on KZbin. May be there are tests and I just haven't look. Currently on this website in the states the truck is selling for $650 and ARR is $499. They have some very unusual cars and trucks. You have sparked my interest. Thank you.

Another great review again on rc truck. I really admired you for sharing your ideas and honest reviews on rc cars and trucks. Thank you tomley

[@tobydyes]

I rather hear the car than the music cuz I'd rather hear your comments and your excitement

[@TomleyRC]

There’s plenty of me talking and running it. The music is a very small part

Time to bring a hobao sste truggy!

[@Rockatha]

Awesome truck. Reminds me very much of the CEN Reeper.

[@darren5492]

I have a hobao hyper gt8 and about to install a quicrun 150a ESC on 6s these are really nice cars

[@TomleyRC]

I think one of them may have passed through my hands a little while back. Look good but was part of a large collection I bought. Sold it New boxed

[@theshoetownbasher3589]

Now the chassis 7075 they onto a winner. The plus 2 one of my fav trucks hope they bring 7075 chassis out for that as have snapped one in past as have others. This is a seriously underrated piece of kit

[@Nathan-qt2zi]

Where is this jump spot 100% need to go their

[@tobrc]

Everyone needs a hobao in their collection! Then at least you have an RC car that works when all the others are broken...😁

[@givman2004]

The hyper 7 buggys where awesome machines with amazing build quality. They need to add more models to the range to keep up with the other comps

[@TomleyRC]

Yes, they certainly need a bit more exposure

Like the look of this one Phil thanks

[@sebas888888]

I think a certain nobody youtuber caller razor RC talked, tested,rated this truck before you got it. Not dissing you hey, love your stuff. Just recommending a friendly RC competitor hahahaha ha. In all cases , peace, and may the torque be you both

[@TomleyRC]

Yes, that where I got the info about the servo.. and more recently about the shocks. I’m talking more about the community as a whole. You don’t see a million Facebook groups for Hobao 😅

[@EdwardChew]

Jumps so well! Very balanced

[@aljensen7779]

AHA! You've finally entered the world of real RCs haha! (slight bias coming up) There's a little-known fact about Hobao which I'll get to in a sec. Firstly, after racing a Typhon for a couple of years at the local track I was introduced to a Hobao. I bought their 1/8 buggy roller, equipped it myself and it got me third place in two categories in the same season. For the record, that one is a Hobao Hyper SS (Buggy). But mine has that little known secret, which is the differentials. Apart from traditional planetaries, Hobao also makes what's called a 'Torsen' diff. I'll spare the details but its advantage is it sends the power to the outside wheels during a turn. Mine has one in both F&R. If you remember that at the track, you can outside-turn nearly anyone else (given equal conditions). Thanks for that review - it further strengthened my belief that Hobao CAN OUT-PERFORM ANY VETERAN-LEVEL RIG IN THE N. AMERICAN MARKET. You can find the Torsen diffs on the Hobao website.

[@TomleyRC]

I might have to get hold of a buggy.. they look really good. My old GR Yaris had Torsen Diffs, I hadn't heard of them until I bought it. Good old mechanical wizardry

[@wordreet]

Love it matey! I still have my Hobao Truggy from around 15 years back. Brilliant on a decent off road race track!

[@JagImaging]

Awesome truck! but getting parts for it around here would be too much of a pain.

[@TomleyRC]

Yeah, a few people have said that actually

[@machinedred]

I'd love that truck !!!!

[@daz9882]

Nice video as always, @tomley an idea for you. Since you got so many RC in collection, how about scan and uploading the UserManuals for all of the RC for your patreon members? Because I find myself and friends often having hard time getting some model manual..

[@AlvarezAzel]

I used to own a nitro Hyper 7 back in the day when nitro was king and brushless/lipos were nowhere to be seen. Great car super durable. Keep and eye on the shocks on this truck Tomley, I know you wernt pushing it that much here but if you start going for bigger jumps you will probably end up bending the shock shafts or blowing up pistons. Because as it comes out of the box the suspension doesnt allow the chassis to bottom out so all the force is being sent into the shocks.

[@djmandrick]

Ahhhh this makes me happy they've done something electric and truggy like yet makes me sad I still never got my Hyper ST conversion to work properly (veeeeeeeeery early days of that as was Nitro) Its still sitting here looking at me ten years later. Tried fitting the Hyper 8 spur gear and pinion but the drive train is so noisy it sounds mechanically painful so I've never dared to run it. Has the 150A from the time from hobbywing as well and a 2250kv monster truck motor in it. Back then that was lunacy expensive. I even paid 75 quid for a motor mount from America as there was nothing about back then. Has brand new tyres on it since it's conversion from nitro, never seen grass! :( hope you have lots of fun with yours.

[@NCmountainsYouTubeChannel]

Killer bashing at the Bike park .. no beak too really cool 6s M/T 💯👌. There’s a new bike park opened here just five minutes away!! I never thought about going down there .. i’ll have to go check it out now ☝️

[@michaelcain2174]

I can’t see anything really I don’t like about that truck , some of the things you mentioned are easy fixes , like a bit of foam under the body mounts . I genuinely think Hobao have knocked it out the park with this 👌

[@Luke-en2tk]

Should have tethered body clips for that money and foam washers underneath

[@TomleyRC]

Yes, it should really

[@albericmiftah]

Hi, between ZD Racing MX07 & hobao MTX, which one you recommend?

[@matthewbacon1434]

I like the looks of it, what was the price range again?

[@atuned85]

Looks awesome! But they don't seem to sell the MTX-version on their website, weird

[@BEASTMODERC]

Yeah I definitely want to check one of these out razor RC did a big video on this. And he did one of his reviews and said it’s the most durable truck he has ever owned

[@angesrc]

Nice big truck looks very durable. That tyre pattern looks like the VRX cobra!🤔

[@G.M..]

The bodywork is too small for the chassis, but that's just a detail. This car is a beast!! Love Hobao products !

[@RockyFoxxowo]

Still looks a bit better than the traxxas stampede

[@G.M..]

@@RockyFoxxowo on the stampede the body is too high , really too high. On the mtx, the body is too small or too short, the wheelbase doesn't fit with the chassis, looks like it's a body for a lower scale.

[@RockyFoxxowo]

@@G.M.. I agree with the stampede being way to bloody high with no factory way to adjust it

[@owen8538]

Is there anything like the redcat vigilante in uk apart from x maxx

[@kaptkronik135]

traxxas and arrma have part support everywhere in the usa, thats why hobao isnt more popular. Any part I need for my Kraton 8s are only a couple miles away, and they also carry the whole traxxas line. Hobao also needs to do more to let people know that they are the same as Ofna

[@3SonsRC]

Why would letting people know they are the same as Ofna help? 90% of people never heard of Ofna, but I get that there parts are not in the LHS... They need to do more with those relationships.... BUT in fairness this truck is SO much tougher than any Arrma and Traxxas is own, I rarely break anything, I have spars for most important bits and I Bash this truck hard, watch my videos, and I haven't broken anything 🤣 When I say Toughest RTR Check my channel, I bash everything so no Fanboy talk here... I love my M2Cified Arrma rigs and my Maxx & Xmaxx. Have a good day

[@slick2500]

My LHS only carries limited parts for the on road Arrma cars if I need anything for my Kraton 6s, Outcast 6s, Typhon 3s or Senton 3s I have to order it online. They carry mostly Traxxas stuff and even then parts for the Traxxas vehicles are hit or miss whether or not they will have said part(s) in stock so I just order all my parts online anyway because I got sick of driving there only to walk out empty handed because they didn't have what I needed in stock. Sure they can order parts but it seriously takes them 2 weeks to get parts in........................

[@Luke-en2tk]

[@DankePlace]

I rang everywhere in Australia, even the distributor, and they can't tell me anything except the $ lol. I need to know the diff between the Plus 2 and the MTXE, I prefer the 1/7 scale due to being longer and has a better shell. People say the MTXE handles better due to new shock towers? I really would like to know before I have to blind buy.
