Wow wow wow. I am a radio control fiend, and four years I have been preaching to anyone that would listen about the benefits of using scale RC concepts in full scale. Thank you thank you thank you for finally doing this. Not only is that a ridiculously sanitary build, your impeccable thought process and perfect delivery of the reasoning behind everything is exactly the way virtually everything should be communicated. Thank you for sharing your passion, your craftsmanship, and your magic. Some might say over engineered and over the top (more than likely out of jealousy, I would think), I would simply say to them “hey… this is your new goal to beat. If you can do better at a better price, have at it. Bring your evidence!“
i recommend you watch some videos from the builder kibbetech, i was underwhelmed when he took the body off of this truck. kibbetech trucks are more puspose built and look amazing, this truck is nice af, but i dont see a hyper truck
No kidding! In all seriousness, you heard the truth. There's a lot of debate on the validity of their lawsuits but that's what they do. Even sued HBO Max over the Max name lol
Yeah man so true. Traxxas got the idea from F1 cars with the push-rod setup they initially advertised it that way in the early 2000s....who knows if they still include where they got the idea though lol.
Wow...what a car. Just look at the packaging. What a package. The steering wheel is packaged perfectly. The battery package is packaged just how I like my packages.
Some cool ideas going on here, but with all the tech and forethought put in how you guys going to rock with the lower control arm bolts exposed like that? Could have easily made your mounts with the bolts going horizontally instead and not having mounting hardware dangling, especially on main suspension mounts. At the very least, cover them shits with skidplate haha
Exactly. Made in 1997. And the chassis/roll cage looks exactly like a Bulldog with the biddy off. Typical US exceptionalism "it's the best", "it's the first" etc. Nope. Bowler have been building these sorts of vehicles for 30 years.....at least he accepted the body looks like a 90.
@@leangrypoulet7523 Okay? This still has more power, a more sophisticated chassis and higher performance suspension. He never said this was the first, but he does make the credible claim that this is the best currently available.
@@kermitthefragg Yeah, the first truck in this performance class, which is arguably true. Not the first truck in this style or for this purpose. Comprehension is more than sounding out the words with your mommy’s help
@@leangrypoulet7523Bowler wildcat was front engine, this is mid engine. The wildcat used a solid axel and a suspension taken from a discovery, this is entirely bespoke and way more sophisticated. Nothing about this truck shares anything in common with the wildcat at all besides the defender headlights. It's like comparing a Raptor to a Hillux, what a joke. This even uses a carbon body while the wildcat was typical fiberglass. They have nothing in common.
I like how R.C. builds helped with design. Cheap way to work thru design faults. I wonder if they load the R.C. cars with weight to find stress points. The concern with building a race truck with such tight construction is if you bend or break something it could be difficult to fix out there and one bend could impact another part. That being said, every part looked very strong. He did say you have to compromise though.
The funhaver trucks are astronomically more stout. The rc type packaging is a bit of gimmick there’s a lot better ifs systems. Those lower control arms would get ripped to shreads at hammers. Simple tube an arms? Cmon. They had access to plasma and better I’m sure.
I sincerely thought I was looking at a new remote control car. I spent all night looking forward to the video. This is still cool I guess tho. Beautiful “truck”
I'm a fan of this being multipurpose built. Sure you could have a dedicated rock crawler or dedicated trophy truck but I'd much rather have this. I think sales of this would go to the moon if an "upscale" interior and a rear hatch/truck bed functional storage area were available (men could justify the purchase to their spouses with a nice interior and storage, right?)
Very few of this level of engineering and forethought, however. The fit, finish, and overall engineering here is pretty top-notch. A lot of those “turnkey“ trophy trucks good, but still off the shelf components.
@reneschmidt9367 this would get eaten alive by most 2wd trophy trucks. The bell crank shock mounting has a cool ingenious factor, but is no way conducive to a winning race truck. Way too much stuff going on, look at the rear with the shocks and what not above the engine, how hard is it to work on? Or the front with the shocks basically mounted to the front bumper....both horrible ideas for a race truck.
I always wondered if you could use rc style parts on a real truck. Anxious to see how those billet bulkheads act when it hits something real hard. In the rx world, I break those a lot depending on how it’s designed. So cool guys, amazing truck!
@@reneschmidt9367 I’ve noticed that sometimes if the an arms are too beefy they can destroy the bulkhead when hitting stuff. His seem like they might be the weak point which is good, it’s gonna be sick to see this thing in action! Cheers mate!
OK, he was pretty clear about what defined a hyper vehicle. What things do you see on here that are not part of a vehicular build of insane engineering?
@@billhicksmcgee1181 forgive my ignorance, but don’t portal axles simply increase your ground clearance and have nothing to do with the actual suspension arm travel distance?
@reneschmidt9367 take a look at the latest awd race vehicles, ultra 4 and trophy truck here in the states. Before the use of portal spindles in this application it was pretty tough to achieve 18 inches of front travel with steering. Mainly due to cv angle. The portal decreased a good bit of angle on the front CVS and now I believe those vehicles can swing maybe 22 inches or so. I didn't catch the track width of this hyper vehicle, but imo to get 30 inches of travel with steering it would be pretty dang wide, awd trophy truck is pushing 96 inches wide...
@@billhicksmcgee1181 looking at it in the one clip they show at full compression and where the wheel hubs sit compared to It's full extension it's definitely got 30 inches of travel but that seems like the absolute max bottomed out so it's probably more like 28 inches
@nathan584 working travel mashing the bumps vs pics in the shop on jackstands haha look at the angle on those inner CVS at full extension...they'll definitely be limiting back once they go out and test.

Thing is rc cars are modeled off of actual cars, like baja/trophy trucks and crosskarts and the like,
@@victorledesma1083 Kibbe's trophy trucks are gnarly.
@@kyal1068the body is, but they usually have different suspension designs. Push rod is rare to find in trophy trucks.
This thing is an absolute work of art
Traxxas like to sue when u use their ideas.. so I heard. But hey this is an amazing build very well designed. Awesome job
No kidding! In all seriousness, you heard the truth. There's a lot of debate on the validity of their lawsuits but that's what they do. Even sued HBO Max over the Max name lol
Well cantilever double wishbone suspension was not a Traxxas original idea so they have literally zero ground to walk on in that area
Yeah man so true. Traxxas got the idea from F1 cars with the push-rod setup they initially advertised it that way in the early 2000s....who knows if they still include where they got the idea though lol.

We heard you like packages, so we put a package in your package.
TAKE MY MONEY! In all seriousness, amazing truck. If I had the means, I'd have one ordered. Incredible rig my friend.
It's cool design, curious if it could compete at Ultra4. Hammers is the test.
Dude the second i saw that i thought about the Revo, then you said it was inspired by it. Looks stunning!!
I want to see more details of the hinged wheel flares!
Pretty excited to hear about this!
"The world's first"
The LM002:
"The reason for the divorced transfer case, is because we want the truck to have something in common with every man that buys it"
I’ve been waiting for someone to do this. Legit build. Love the suspension innovation here.

Ah, so someone finally built a hypertruck.
What’s powering this so called “ hyper truck “ ? Wish you woulda spoke more on that portion . Looks wild . See how well it performs and holds up .
Brushless electric I would hope. Anything else would be a significant downgrade over RC.
My guess is some kind of LS motor

Beautifully crafted. 100% Hyper Truck
I alway say rc cars are engineering marbles and now you see it used as a engineering influence
this and the grenadier have made 2024 a great year for old british boxy suvs
Except one of them is a very well built butt-ugly clone of a Defender.
Super cool, looks like a PreRunner-ified Land Rover Defender :)
With the body it’s looks like an RC truck! :]
Please do keep us posted as you get a chance to do some testing and racing with that thing. Can't wait to see it get beat on.
Great work everyone - absolutely gorgeous - that is some achievement.
Looks like the fun haver bronco, nice work, bring it to hammers and play with similar cars. Wicked ride!

Beautiful truck
How have this not more then 141 views
Looks awesome btw
I am sharing this in a bunch of RC groups
Need to see this in action
Perfect daily driver.
How much to buy one? This thing is beautiful, very innovative thinking and clearly so much time and engineering has going into it.
cant wait for the trucks videos

lol is the guy having a conversation with the truck or the camera ? He never look back 😂
Nicely Done
"worlds first hyper truck" ... conveniently forgets Bowler.
Wonder how quick those front arms will snap
It’s beautiful and super functional 🤔🪚🛠️❤️
Holy Cow!!!!! That’s my dream Hyper Vehicle now. Was an Egg before by a long ways. Nothing else was remotely close to an Egg in my opinion.
Look at that wide boy
If money would not be a question I would jump in and drive it full throttle diagonally from Brisbaine to Perth.
Spectacular!
Man look at those billet knuckles
Impressive !!!
Awesome 👌
yeah boiiiii!
this “truck” didn’t even run a full lap at ice race. LOL
Mind boggling work!
🇦🇺🤜🏼🤛🏼😎☮️🍀
Steward raceworks are the king of luxury hyper trucks for the desert
I've never seen any truck in general use a push-rod (cantilever) type setup for the suspension!
Baja trucks can have rear cantilever suspension
Pretty fun
The revo is cool but it would be so much better with directly mounted shocks
I wanna hear that thing drive
Awesome vehicle
Omg love it
No videos of it being used yet?
In before Traxxas files a lawsuit, that's the main thing they're good at 🤣
I have never seen a more alien vehicle than that…
wow beautiful made. seriously you see the high quality en design. Exterior i personally think needs a bit less retro style.

Can you do this in a 4 seat version, oh and I need cup holders…
Looks excellent for getting groceries
Front suspension is just .... PORN !!!
😮true scale revo 🤯
More of a slayer than revo. Cool AF
Can't wait to see this thing fly down the desert.
Do you have to compromise handling caratistics to get that much travel with the front end.
Gotta know how much is it?
Did he mention what the price was? I'd like to know.

65 gallons of fuel!? Yes please! Well done with that.
Bad ass
I wonder what it costs to buy over a ton of aluminum in the form of a couple huge blocks?
I want to build crazy shit like have all my own tools just no shop live in mass anyone build stuff and need a fab or a wrencher im here
You mean a trophy truck 😅😂
Raptor r has double the passager space😂
Absolutely amazing, certainly hyper, but is it a truck? And if so what is a truck?
