Unboxing: HoBao Hyper VS 2 Electric Roller Buggy

[@petergoodwin2465]

You did a nice build Vas, Hobao are really nice machines. I wouldn't mind getting one .

[@alanshearing7515]

Awesome looking buggy . Wheels look great !. Really looking forward to the fist run . Great video Vas .

[@AussieRCPlayground]

Thanks Alan. 👍

[@michaelbarch7472]

Another great and informative vid Vas! Looking forward to seeing some speed run and bashing videos with this car. Cheers mate

[@bucknorris241]

Looks good, attention to detail especially! Can't wait to see how it drives :)

[@BASSstarlet]

«Αttention to detail» yes, but what about the front of the shell that it needs to be trimmed?

[@bucknorris241]

@@BASSstarlet Yeah I was more talking about the mechanical aspects, but that is true they should have done that better!

[@daig1984]

Hey vas, do you recommend backing the purple? Got the same buggy, what would be good backing colour? Thanks

[@AussieRCPlayground]

I backed mine with silver. Seals it up nicely. 😎

[@daig1984]

@@AussieRCPlayground thanks mate

[@BenshobbyStuff]

just got a hyper vs2 .30 engine version myself mate, its a real powerful bit of kit, just buying upgrades now. you wont be disappointed with this car mate :)

[@AussieRCPlayground]

Thanks. Very much looking forward to seeing how it goes, but I'm sure it will do well. 😎👍

[@craigpoer]

Cool video. Looks like a fun build.

[@AussieRCPlayground]

Thanks Craig. 😎👍

[@bryanp4827]

FINALLY! Great to see you doing a review of a Hyper VS Vas! 👍

[@steveblackbird]

Great review Vas! The Hyper VS has always been an awesome buggy and being a 1/8th scale buggy fan boy this kit is no different. The original VS was a great handler and quite a tough RC too. Be great to do a comparison between this, the Typhon 6s and Radix. Using the same tyres to be a direct comparison. If you have the time of course. Definitely looks like a great buggy thats for sure. And yes the box slap was very appreciated lol.

[@luccrouset1675]

I've had the Hobao Vs2e for over a year. For those hesitating I really recommend it. Super durable. Can be setup as a basher or for off road racing, which I'm currently doing.

[@AussieRCPlayground]

Thanks for sharing! 😎

[@Pablo668]

NIce! Good review. I've liked these chassis for several years now. I never pulled the trigger on on because as reasonably priced as the chassis is, 1/8 electrics (esc/motor etc) are pricey. From what I've seen online though, they are tough and drive well.

[@smiley37greg]

This buggy is so tempting, I'm personally a fan of Hobao/ Ofna products. My only doubt is part support, my LHS doesn't carry anything, so replacement parts are a week away by mail. I'm looking forward to your opinion on it vs. The current crop of 1/8 scale ebuggy Cheers from Ohio USA

[@gerardscheffer8848]

Beautiful buggy, I like the colour you chose! I hope to see some hot laps in the next video.

[@AussieRCPlayground]

Thanks, hopefully I'll be able to get out to the track soon. 😎👍

[@smart3k]

My first 8th scale was a Hyper VSe and it was an absolute riot even on just 4S, Thing was an absolute tank aswell, Only things that ever broke were the front bulkhead (althought rarely) and the wing. Everything i've had since has been crap in comparison, I think my next RC will be one of these and probably "truggyfy" it.

[@malsmith2012]

Nice video Vas.. I love that it comes with shock boots to protect the shafts.. I wish Corally would supply their cars with them.. Can't wait for the drive vid! 😎👍

[@AussieRCPlayground]

Thanks Mal. Hopefully I'll get out there soon, just waiting for rain to clear. 🙂

[@AB-80X]

Very cool. Love my Hyper VS nitro buggy.

[@madsrcbuggy]

That was a nice and proper in-depth introduction video to this cool buggy, definitely liked and subscribed! I'm currently researching this buggy, so I think I already watched all existing videos, so was nice that KZbin AI suggested I'd watch yours also now. I watched some of your videos earlier, but for some reason I hadn't subbed yet. Looking forward to seeing your further videos on this, I am intending on installing pretty much same type power system in mine (haven't bought it yet), so curious to see how it does.

[@AussieRCPlayground]

Thank you so much and welcome to the channel. Might be a little while before we see this car running as the weather has turned evil recently, but hopefully it won't last long and I'll be able to get out there and give it a proper run once this rain period passes. Thank you again for the nice comment and stay tuned for more. 🙂👍

[@DoRC]

Hobao makes some really interesting stuff. The MTX's one of the strongest out of the box bashers I've ever had. It's a shame they don't seem to have much interest in actually pushing their products in the US.

[@AussieRCPlayground]

Pretty sure there's a distributor there, right? HRB, I think it's called?

[@DoRC]

@@AussieRCPlayground hobao has their own website where you can buy the products in the US but they don't actually advertise them or really push them in any way. There's no real distribution network beyond their own site and A lot of people in the US have never even heard of them.

[@slick2500]

It's almost like they don't want to sell anything.

[@jaceSHO]

what's that orange truck in the Backround ? ... Not the HPI one - I love it

[@AussieRCPlayground]

If you're referring to the one above the HPI trucks, that's the Team Magic E5 MT 1/10 scale. It has a custom painted Beatle body on it (which is no longer available).

[@henryfoster3212]

Good to see a new videos from bas all way good to see a videos from you 😀👍😊

[@AussieRCPlayground]

Glad you like them! Thank you. 🙂

[@django2467]

I think it's time for another buggy shootout

[@AussieRCPlayground]

I think you're right. 😁

[@user-vb3dg3pb6s]

Nice buggy. Looks smaller than a 1/8 scale on screen . They have came a long way from the likes of the hyper 7 / 8. Infact the 8 was worse than the 7series in electric especially. I wish that all rc body shells would hug firmly against the side of the chassis like buggies do making for no side flare on the body shell itself. Great video review once again. Love that color

[@jeremycravens6973]

That spur gear is way too open for me, i thought my teknos are bad! Definitely set up for the track, but I think you will find a way to make it a basher! Can't wait to see it, thanks Vas!

[@Rahvanteli]

I've never had a problem with it

[@daig1984]

Hey vas sorry to bother you again but the front wheels at the top are leaning outwards. I was wondering how you adjust the camber on this buggy cheer fella

[@Rahvanteli]

You adjust camber with the pillow balls in the hub.

[@szymon7423]

Damn, hobao is still making new cars? Awesome!

[@AussieRCPlayground]

Yeah, absolutely. 😁

[@KawiMikeZX10]

Did I just play you in 8ball pool? Or is someone using your name? Love your videos!

[@AussieRCPlayground]

Haha, you did. And I lost, too. 🤦‍♂️

[@168grhp]

Have you driven a Serpent SRX8-E RTR 1/8 4wd? Looks like it might be a good value. $482 US.

[@NewLifeeight]

Nice buggy. What ESC is that?

[@AussieRCPlayground]

This is using the stock electrics from the Hyper 2 MT truck, so motor, ESC and servo are all stock HoBao parts.

[@ralphmcmahan2139]

small thing but I appreciate that the body is pre-cut

[@waslem123]

Hey so which batteries can you recommend I get with it?

[@Munenvrac]

Nice vid ! Thank’s

[@murda1069]

Hey bro, how many MAH batt is that? So i can briefly guess the max size batt it can fit

[@Rahvanteli]

Standard 4s size is good or two standard 2s size batteries. I use a voltz 4800mah 6s personally because it's the same size as a normal 4s lipo. The dimensions for it are 138x44x48mm.

Hi vas I’ve put the max 8 in my vs2 but only 2 screws line up on the motor is this ok? I’ve locktighted everything

Yes, that's totally fine. Traditionally there's only 2 screws that holds the motor to the motor mount. 👍

[@bryanp4827]

VAS, STILL NO 6S TEST YET...WHY...?

[@AussieRCPlayground]

I actually went back to film a 6S run a couple of months ago and broke an A-arms in the first 2 minutes. So ordered parts, fixed it and went back again a couple of weeks ago, but before I got to that car, the track got taken over by people on bikes and I had to leave. Car is ready to go, but just need the weather to co-operate and not have people in the way. It's on my list of things to do and I will get to it next time I go there.

[@leandromartinjunco8133]

I made a modification so that the esc cable is not visible and passes below

[@AussieRCPlayground]

How did you stop the ESC cable from getting cought up in the spur gear?

you placed the esc incorrectly

Oh, ok. How is it supposed to go? 😳

[@michaelinzitari]

This is your first Hobao 1/8 buggy. That ofna buggy 8 was not hobao. Didn’t even look like Hong Nor. Not sure who made it. Now back to this buggy. Hobao do not know how to make a body shell that fits their buggies. The Hyper7 body didn’t fit the hyper 7. The exhaust rubbed. The linkages rubbed. The air filter got squished. 20 years later there’s no improvement. Everything else looks great.
