Hobao Hyper VT Running Video 6S - MCAS El Toro

Спорт

Please Read:
Today, we visited the former Marine Corps Air Station, El Toro (CA) which has been converting over the years to the "Great Park" of Orange County. Being a very public place, we asked permission to run our new Hobao Hyper VT on the former runway (now converted to a main walkway) We were granted limited time and under full responsibility if anyone was hurt. So I did keep the throttle at about 2/3rd's for the first part and opened it up in a nearby closed parking lot.
Hobao is that sleeper company that come out with vehicles that just amaze you, especially when you compare the specs and the pricing. The VT is their newest 1/8th scale 4wd electric supercar. Capable of running up to 6s on stock electronics, this thing will hit ridiculous speeds on the pavement!

  • @silvervette0846

    Was it me or did it look like it wanted to launch on those early straight runs? Curious if the front was scraping and breaking the down force and giving it lift... you mentioned thicker oil in the center diff is that to slow the front a little in power transfer?

    i ordered the 29tooth XO-1 pinion gear too.. i think that was a mistake, if the XO-1 pinions r anything like the e-revo gears then it won't work.. i dumbed out and didn't remember until just now (been years since i even looked at an e-revo).. the e-revo pinions r 5mil but the pitch is different or something, it's been awhile.. my (older model) mamba monster X combo came with a pinion for the e-revo (actually might have been the mm2) either way I'm hoping the XO-1 is a typical mod-1.. any info?

    I'm not an XO-1 expert, but it looks to use MOD1 pinions - which is standard for these size of vehicles.

    what up Rich? haven't seen ur face in min! great video man, awesome job editing and as always thank u for sharing bro! I've been eyeballin this car for a min (the 80% version bc i wanna put the mamba x and one of then sensored motors 2200kv maybe? would appreciate ur opinion on that?) and i think it's time i build my first real street-speed run car.. i had the hpi 1/8 ken block but got rid of it awhile ago.. me and a few of my buddies get together like once a month to drag race and we gamble on the races and shit.. I've been racing my senton and it does well with just the duratrax banditos so i would also like to kno what u think a good tire would be for this car (hyper vt)? belted maybe or just whatever u think would be good for drag racing on pavement? thx in advance Rich! oh and i did notice this car came rtr with ur color (the blue minus the siver) love it bro!

    The RCNetwork so just thicker in the center? what weight range would u recommend? I've only changed diff fluids in 1/8 scale MT's, should i go that thick? i have a few bottles but they're all over 100k and that seems like it might be too thick? recommendations on tires for pavement? i was thinking about getting them belted road crushers.. oh and i did order the 80% kit last night, got a hell of a deal too! i had some e-bucks and used the $30 promo code.. do u think i could get away with using a higher kv on 6s? like 2650 (not sure if they're making that sensored yet) I'm only gonna run it in short bursts (quick straight line).. i just ordered my first set of maxapes batts too so I'm really hoping they're gonna be worth it.. thx again Rich, u have no idea how much u influence pretty much every purchase i make pertaining to this hobby! i trust and value ur opinion above ALL! have a nice day😊

    If the diffs are like the Hyper SS, SST and MTe there is no fluid in the diffs, just grease, so all the power bleeds into the front tires.
