Really like the quality of Hobao's, they are pretty durable rigs.
Very, they are top notch quality chassis 👌🏾
Once you have it dialled in, you will love it. Quick tank fill ups and unlimited runtime (well almost!)
Once tuned up and ran in they are a piece of piss to start.
I take mine out regularly with nothing but fuel, glow plug wrench and nitro starter stick. Just casual bashing but I’m racking up the gallons no issue.
I get bored before the car dies. Can’t say that with battery
Oh yea run time is definitely an advantage. I tuned it up and man its a hell of a ripper. Was considering putting in an LRP 32x for mo powaaa, but we will see.
Nitro is a pain in the beginning. Once you've put in some time and learned all the tricks and how to properly tune it, it's a blast and quite easy.
Oh yea right now, Ive gotten a good grasp of it. Still likes to test my patience though
@Greg Supe yup for sure. RTR engines are always more work. They have a tendency to develop air leaks around the base of the carb and backplate. Those air leaks always make tuning more difficult.
I used to use engine sealant in both locations, and it always helped tremendously. I want to say it was called Lucky 7 engine sealant.
@Dealspeed Broooo Exaaactly!!!! I ended up not concerning myself about it much anymore and just enjoy ripping it around. Right now the head where the turbo plug is starts bubbling with nitro fuel when it gets hot so it's leaking from there for me. I'll definitely look up the lucky 7 sealant and try it out. Was also considering testing out the LRP ZR 32X engine, seen that sucker pump out some serious torque.
I’m mainly a TLR guy but I’m thinking about getting one of these buggies. It wouldn’t take much to get it to race spec. Get a back plate and a starter box and get rid of the pull start it’s a knuckle buster. Pull starts are nothing but failure and getting a back plate takes away resistance. You’ll get more rpm’s I learned that from a old racer at the track. Shock boots are a must on a 8th scale buggy. The compounds that track owners use to press and pack the track with like to corrode anything aluminum. Shock boots and silicone are your best friend keeps my buggies looking brand new for decades.
For competition you'd have to change out the fuel tank and the engine. But the chassis is solid. I did convert to a bump box in a later vid and it's a monster. The engine also runs pretty hot so it keeps blowing out the silicone joints for the exhaust. Aside from that it's definitely one of the best RTR nitro buggies.
@@GregSupe ohh yeah I bet and if it’s a .21 you’ll be fine at most places just to start out but if you’re serious about the hobby you’ll want a different engine for sure I’ve been running the REDS 721 s gen3 in a TLR 8ight x and that engine is a beast and I agree this rtr looks pretty stout
yes sir, agreed there
Cool video. I love my HoBao cars. Might wanna invest in a cheapish starter box to break in the engine. After it broken in then use the pull start. Them pull starts are prone to failure.
yea bro its flimsy, especially worse since the engine in it has some high compression
❤🎉😮😊
A friend is giving me the kit version can’t wait to get my engine in it and start driving buggy
Looks like that air filter has no oil in it
Using oil will catch the dirt from going through the filter into the engine✌️
Good eye but it's a two stage air filter. The oiled one is on the inside. 👍🏾
@@GregSupe I see I still run oil on both too much oil isn’t good either I just like to do everything I can to keep the engine clean for a long life those nice engines aren’t cheap!
@@dylansowder6617 True true
Such a good looking setup!! Do you have a part number for the drill drive starter unit?
Yea man its quite a piece of work. The starter unit is called a roto start backplate (Hobao 02626), heres the link amzn.to/3Zm2Z7Z
Cool car
I dig it
Dont prime your brand new engine with the pull start. Pinch the pressure line lift the tank top and let it go. It will prime it really fast and save your pull start string and fingers.
Lesson learnt. I flooded the heck out of the engine until the fuel was coming out the back. Got all pver the pull cord and welp, rest is history.
Hell yeah!!
I’ll be running nitro as long as I can get fuel and glow plugs. Love nitro!
It's awesome, but man I got spoilt with brushless speed
@@GregSupe I’m a general gear head and especially love 2 stroke engines so I enjoy my nitro cars way more than the lipo brushless stuff. I enjoy the tuning, tinkering, rebuilding ect that most hate lol
@@junkyardboost8372 lol definitely not for everyone. I appreciate it because I also enjoy making things work well. Just wish we could bolt on a turbocharger and get some booooost in it 🤣
