- In this video, I take out the budget 4S Hobao Hyper VS for a bash in the rain. We see if it can swim, fly and keep it together before retreating to the warmth of the studio to dig into the components and prices of this rig.

Hobao Buggy are the best. I have been running those buggies since 2000 when the 1st generation Hyper 7 buggy was rrelease. I have. 10 Hyper 7, 3 Hyper 8, 3 Hyper 8.5, 2 Hyper 9, 2 Hyper Star, 3 Hyper SS and 3 Hyper VS. All are Nitros.
This Hobao buggy are build like a Tank.
Get the Hyper VSe RTR.
I had a few parts already but I wanted a VS RTR painted body as I like the look of them. I agree the quality you get for the Money is great.
That’s an impressive buggy , this video makes me want one . Really good video work getting those shots . Would be cool if you could get out again and set up some jumps . Great video Gavin.
I need to take it to a skate park 👍🏻
Nice looking buggy.
Nice buggy, for that bashing ive got my savages, but your a brave man for running in that weather
LOL, not the most optimal conditions no LOL
Nice run man. That thing hammers down pretty good.
This video makes me want to get my old nitro Hyper 7 running again.
I know what you mean, i ain't had my hyper 7 out in years or any nitro come to that (playing with poxy petrol and lipo😆) but it just so happens that i just got me some fresh fuel this week so i will dig it out. .
Lol love my Hypers - got 2 and they’re nearly unbreakable.... nearly.....
I WANT 1 TOO! -WAIT, NO NO.. I WANT 2.
Nevermind I didnr watch the full video you was running 4s again nice run😊 Im new to your channel and I really like your collection of rcs in your studio!
Thanks Josh 👍🏻
Be interesting to see a maintenance video, as the water and grit will get in everywhere.
Bashers need to clean their kit too
I miss the British countryside but not that weather, just been out for a walk in the forrest here on vancouver island in shoet and a T-shirt :)
I would buy one of those as it looks to be a really well build buggy and for the size its a good price..
I would say charging lipo batteries, I always balance charge them in the pairs that I am going to use them in..
Gavin, awesome video. I want one now
Winter is indeed coming :(
Love it I have the Hyper Gt turning and turning it into a rally car step by step so much fun to drive just filmed a thrash about with it, need 4 speeeeeed haha 👍👍👍
20k oil in all 3 diffs, 3k oil front and 4k rear for shocks, remove ride height adjustment screws from underneath and put them back in from the top to give an extra bit of ground clearance but still having the adjustability if required and you have a very good handling rally/rallyX set up
@@alfawulf ok cool thanks for that just ordered shock tower and roll cage mount for the lancia delta intergrale body that I am doing also 😀👍😀👍
@@rcadventurer if you like the back end a little bit loose use a lighter oil in the rear diff... my VS is running 20k front, 15k rear and its a drift beast on loose gravel/dirt... My GT is running 40k oil centre and 20k front/rear but it doesn't get used off-road
@@alfawulf ok cool thanks for the heads up and yes like the back end a bit loose cheers👍👍
Gav you forgot the AE8 springs I recommend too you lol , hypers are great I bash the hell out of mine
Yep the rear springs need swapping out for stronger ones to stop the chassis squaring under power. It really did help sort that out. If I put more power in it I would silicon up the centre diff as well with silicon ear plugs.
RCKicks ive got my centre diff locked , what pinion do you run on yours ?
Just the stock pinion.
RCKicks replace it for a 18t pinion there Mod1 pitch , the 18t wakes the hyper right up
@@evo4ralliart This work? www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Arrma-18T-Mod1-Pinion-Gear-ARA310479-/352761708237
Nice video!!!! That thing looks sharp! Was you running 2s or 3s?
Yep 4S in that video topping out at 39mph. A little slow but I can up the pinion a bit if I wanted to.
I want one
I got my vs for £199 roughly brand new off model sport now mine is a 6s monster mahahah ☺
I love the way you described this as budget. I guess it’s all relative 😢 Great car though .
1/8th scale budget. From an expensive point of view it’s still £350!!! So that’s still a bucket load of money.
Love the videos but you need to sort your background music out. It's either super over the top dramatic or really cheesy dance, something a bit more subtle would help loads. Keep up the good work :-)
Music is so personal it’s hard to find something that everyone likes. Some don’t even like music at all. Just one of those things I guess.
@@RCKickschannel Yep very true. Hope I didn't sound too critical, it wasn't intended that way. Love the channel and videos :-)
Isn't royalty free youtube music great
I was expecting a look inside..anyway..good machine
Check out the Hobai Hyper VS playlist on the channel, it has more videos on this 1/8th buggy
for new comers to RC cars, DO NOT use a 10th scale ESC in a car as heavy as the 8th scale VS... spend a little more money on the ESC and use the HobbyWing EZrun Max8, save some money on the motor by using a clone Castle 2650kv motor which are just as good as an authentic Castle Creations 2650kv at a fraction of the cost and you have a very fast and reliable power system on 4s or 6s batteries and costing no more overall than the 10th scale set-up RCKicks has fitted to the VS in this video
Unless you had the ESC already from another project that wasn’t needed anymore and using that would work fine and save you having to spend any extra money on said EZRun Max8. If you don’t then like wolffink73 said, the Max8 would be a great choice for a 1/8th.
@@RCKickschannel an excellent budget 4s power unit is the Team Orion Vortex R8 WP 130amp 2-4S ESC Plus Vortex 8 2000kv 4 Pole Motor Combo available from PBM Racing for just over £100 (used this set-up in my Hyper GT for a while after burning out my XErun 100amp and it ran really well for a 4s system before buying a Max8 combo so i have the option of running 4s or 6s)... still have the Orion combo in my spares box as a back up incase i should burn out another ESC
👍🦅
In the end the car seems quite expensive, why you did not consider buying an kyosho inferno neo? I'm in that dilemma...
You can’t get one for £350 and this is what you can get this kit up and running for. Don’t forget Adding new tyres and rims and an expensive ESC isn’t essential for this buggy. I had the ESC already and I changed the wheels myself as I wanted to drive it in dirt and mud.
When will you do the build video for the top cat?
What happens when batteries run out do you have go home
I keep saying that I'm going to convert my Kyosho MP7.5 to brushless,but 12 years later and I still haven't done it.
It’s an easy mod but if it runs and puts a smile on your face, stick with what you have. 👍🏻
Hopefully i will be getting a sste for Christmas would you recommend
Going by my VS I would say so. I’m really happy with the quality
RCKicks thanks
Dude where did u get ur shock socks 😁 plz 😉
Hi where did you get the shock covers?
Where you get the shock covers from please 🙏
Good old eBay
The number 666
Why have the shocks got what looks like silicone covers over them?
Shock socks. To keep the dirt out of the shocks.
@@RCKickschannel That's a new one on me, all my RC cars have never had this and dirt has not caused any problems 😀
where did u get the shock socks from
Ofna hoboa Hong nor top quality kits
Where did you find the hobao branded shock socks?
I can’t remember the online store now but you can find loads of them for sale. Google RC Shock socks 👍🏻
Great video. But is dropping a monkey on an RC budget? 😅
When you get to 1/8th scale, things get expensive fast so this is the budget end of the market.
@@RCKickschannel ah I see. Burning pocket holes.
You looked miserable out there!!!
LoL not one of the best days to be out filming lol.
