NEW Hobao VTE 2 review and motor position explination.
General review + explanation of various motor positions available on the Hobao VTE 2.
Drag racers and general use bashers running the largest fitting spur 48t may have to make some adjustments if running the rear-facing motor position option.

Absolutely killer video. Thank you so much for taking the time. I work in Castle tech support and have been getting more calls about this chassis. This answered a LOT of questions that had yet to be answered. Really good to know the max spool is 48 teeth. Also a brilliantly designed chassis by Hobao with the 4 motor mounting positions. This chassis is going to be a game changer!

Hey There Liberty, thanks for this. I need to know more about this car, seems I'm only into ARRMA but this seems like a quality platform. Coincidence I end up finding your videos on it. Great job as always.

Cool. I was looking for a 1/7 scale body shell but it's very difficult to find. I ll check delta and it would be nice if you post a couple of other options
dude. we have the exact same taste brother. Not only did I get the same car / have two CF VTEs to drag - I got the same F50 body and did it up with Fire Red spazzstik & mirror chrome on the windows XLX2 / TP 2400cm. I plan on getting the 1/5 mount for Castle 1100kv motor for next season..... The PH wheels look fantastic!!!!

great video !!! are those tyres belted ? are they rated for speed runs at 150 mph like the GRPS ? Is the distance between the tyres the same as the limitless or is it wider ? thanks .

They are belted but I don't know that they are safe enough to use at speeds above 90mph. I have not seen anyone go fast with them.
Thank you! By chance do you know if the Arrma center spool assembly (Limitless/Typhon 6) will fit into Hobao's VTE?

No there have a different spacing... I checked because I wanted to swap in Arrma pps mounts but they don't fit
Great video on options? But I would like to know if you can message me the name and part number of those tires please, thanks.

I'll likely run those also or Arrma temporarily...
If you can’t break a screw loose that doesn’t have any thread lock on it out the MIP screw-driver style hex drivers down and grab an L-shaped Allen Key. I started doing that when I was worried about rounding the hex and so far I had 100% positive results. Those Allen keys are cheap and definitely look it as well but man once you use one in a situation where you’d normally be bearing down on a Hex Driver you’ll never look at those puny Allen keys the same way again….

I just have a feel for how hard I can turn it before the screw strips. These Hobao cars seem to have this issue. A friend stripped 4+ screws on his. The L shape hex tools are generally cheap metal and more likely to strip the screw.

@@Liberty.Francis that reciver box is an issue with a bigger spur, and the motor mount in its stock position. the stock spur will give you 3mm clearance from the RX box. so with a bigger spur you got to find a diffrent way to mount the motor.

It honestly does not matter. If when you try it out the motor is going the wrong way... just swap 2 of the wires and that will change the direction of rotation.
