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!
Hobao is my top favourite, because always looking good quality, and well engineered. The hardest thing in engineering is to simplify the parts without compromising the strength.
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
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 .
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!!!!
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.
@@Liberty.Francis hi Liberty, is that a Mod1 46t 8mm pinion ?? Any information is appreciated. I'm building the same car. I need that pinion/ spur also. Thanks.

This model is old. Now they have V2 Saga custom RC is the best source for Hobao products in the USA but your English leads me to believe you are not from the US. So check Google or eBay.
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.

Thanks Thomas. I knew your name was familiar. Now I remember...

Extremely similar. Biggest difference is the front diff angle on Arrmas
Very well done explanation Liberty. I would love to get a vte2 one day.
I really like mine. It has been great
Killer video about motor placement thank you for sharing
Thanks man!

Great looking build! nice job
Thanks Ben
great video very informative
Thanks man
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 !!! 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.

hi
thnaks for the videos your putting out.
For a 1/5th motor, you need the other optional motor mount, and move the mount position?
@@1521joe my friend has a 1/5 mount and SSS 56104 in the original front motor position. Just wont fit the 107+mm cans
Hay buddy’s I got a tp motor and a mmx8 Esc we’re do the wires go I seen in your video u had em red in A green in b yellow and see

Pinion is 22t.
@@Liberty.Francis many thanks 😊 🙏
I'm curious about the wheel tire brand. What is the tire name?
Power hobby "Gripper"
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.

What servo you recommend
Promoddeler, MKS, or Savox. In that order.
👍👍👌
You motor model CM 4070 ?
Yes sir
@@Liberty.Francis 2200 kk ? thanks my brother !
@@jairdronelivre1578 yes 2200 is a great motor.
wheelbase cm?????
It's the same as the Limitless/ Infraction 1/7 scale
how much？buy where？😅

@@1521joe yep but easy to move to another spot
I run the hot racing wheel nuts on my hobao gtb drag car . far better then the hobao ones
I'll likely run those also or Arrma temporarily...
OR JUST TAKE THE SPUR GEAR OFF THE SPOOL AND FLIP IT !!
Couldn't get that to work right. Got it all how I want it now.
