- Could this be the most underrated 1/8 Scale RC Rally Car ever?
This is the Hobao Hyper GT Rally Car!
Hobao have been around for many years and many racing fans love them but when it comes to everyday bashing, they never seem to get the popularity they deserve!
I remember owning multiple hyper 7 nitros back in the day and even though they were better suited on a track they proved to be amazing everyday bashers and used to take some serious abuse!
Do you have some spare electronics just hanging around?
This could be the perfect Rolling Chassis to make use of them and what you get is one of the most durable and awesome RC Rally Cars around without spending a fortune!
Would you pick this over the Hpi WR8 Flux and Maverick Quantum RX Flux?

I did an upgrade video here: • 5 MUST DO Upgrades on ...
Hobao cars have made lots of appearances on my channel now. I love them and they should get more credit than they currently receive.
Truth is I would pick my Hobao cars over any Traxxas or Arrma I have ever featured.

What do you think of the amazing Hobao Hyper GT Rally Car? Better than the maverick quantum RX Flux in all areas although does cost more. I think its worth the extra money as the Hobao is excellent quality and built like a tank! Very impressed with this! Want to see more Hobao on my channel? Let me know what you think 😎💯👍
I think both Cars are cool. The Hobao Likes 6s - Gear IT Up and IT IS a blast.
The Maverick is cool Like it comes Out of the Box. Great Car for the Money.
More Hobao would be cool. I Like Hobaos too 👍
I have been looking at the maverick quantum rx for a while. Maybe you just changed my mind 🙂 there's are some more I'm considering. The HPI WR8 and your kyosho Subaru rally conversion seems like nice rally cars as well 👍
@@electricnitrorc I have gone brushless on the kyosho! It’s insane! Follow up vid soon! Will also try and track down a HPI wr8 and do a three way comparison 😉
Meh
Excellent car 😊
On my third HoBao buggy and the first two are still running strong. TQ7 converted to electric was my first, then the VSe roller, and now I have added the VS2 electric. I am a terrible driver and these things have taken beatings and just keep on going. We have a sandy dirty track and wear is amazingly low. Never disappointed by them.
Love the channel, thanks!
I agree 100 % brother! Hobao makes fantastic high quality vehicles with nice heavy duty gears and diffs. Hobao is a brand that older guys like me in the Hobby are very familiar with but I think many younger people are not familiar with them but should be because they make stuff that is right up there with Arrma and Traxxas, Horizon etc. Great video and being here in WV USA, I also appreciate the cost in dollars so thanks for that my friend! Great video as always! Take care brother 😁👍🤜🤛💯
Indiana USA appreciates everything you do! Thanks
I appreciate that!
HUGE amount of hardware for this price point. Good value, mad fast. Great video!
Sure is! Thanks!
American here.. appreciate the pricing in dollars and love the car.
Great video and I agree Hobao makes some top shelf RC's. Their RC trucks are amazing as well.
Couldn't agree more!
Body looks good in white. I agree that this is super underrated
Iv got a fair decent collect including a hyper st pro and the thing is a tank!! Fair better than any of the junk!!! Arrma produce! Hobao is...Truly understand
Totaly agree
@@pukeylukey2852 iv never known why they arnt popular! Yet lesser bands like Arrma have a undeserved following true madness
But the Arrma Limitless really is astonishing, i agree with this guy about Traxxarse, overpriced pieces of plastic , the HoBao VTE2 is a lovely car also, my Limitless is far from stock, pps, scorched parts, crcu, perfect pass, srt brushless servo, putting in a castle creations xlx2 and tp motor , its so much fun to drive and it handles amazing. Drifts well too! 👍🏻👌🏻
It’s beautiful
Just bought a artr I will finish it up when it arrives I bought it because I saw your video 😊 looks like a great product
Great cars.I run mine on 4s and 18t pinion but i have an arrma 6s system in it.Its more than fast enough for me like that.Oh and i have jetko 1/8th extreme tyres on it.
Great that you are covering Hobao. Quality for sure. I think for your level in the hobby, going roller and putting your own electronics and tires is the way to go. You can use what it came with elsewhere and it would be great seeing a 2nd vid with different elec + tires + pinion. A bit more power without going crazy. 4s is enough. Go go HOBAO !!
upgrade vid coming!
Wowe! Ricky this is amazing! I love it! It sure is a good size car. I think the speed is right where it should be, as you said; “usable!” Your definitely correct in saying that Habao is underrated for sure. You scored a great deal for sure! The PO did a great job on it, and you did a great review! Take care my friend! 😎👍🏻🍻
Thanks bro much appreciated 😎👍
SMART MOVE ABOUT KEEPING TRACK OF YOUR USERS STATISTICS 👌. AWESOME CONTENT. KEEP IT UP 💯
Thanks 😎👍
Really wanting to get one of these for a Rally build myself. I have a traxxas MXL-6s system from my E-Revo v1 to put into, will be installing my Spektrum DX4C transmitter, just need to get a servo for it.
Oh I didn't even know about this one! Considering one now, looks amazing.
I do have a barely used older nitro Kyosho GT 1/8th scale with the kyosho GXR28 motor coming, really excited about that one 😁
Love it mate,canny steal at £200 like lots of fun to be had there
Definitely 😎👍
It’s definitely an incredible RC. One of the most common speed runners in Philadelphia around 2017/18. The Serpent 8 scale on road is phenomenal as well! And listen since you’re checking out Ho Bao now an absolute must for you is the hyper TT 12 scale buggy! I’ve had it for years and it’s awesome if you don’t have it.
Hyper Tt is certainly on my list the rolling chassis is very affordable
@@beyondRC Yes! I think they call it “80%” and it is awesome. Stock wheels are not that great though so that’s the one upgrade. I put the motor from an old Team Redcat MT10E In mine! Beast
I like it looks very cool, I've never had this brand, YET !!! thanks for your upload 👍🙏🐱
Thanks for watching! Worth a try for sure.
I'm behind you 💯% mate.!!
Hobao are the Dogs marbles..
I've got 6 of them & I love them all, especially the 8th scale platforms... For me at least, they're bloody bulletproof.!!
Get a 6S system in that GT, you won't regret it.!!!
I've ran mind hard on 6S for over two & a half years & it's still around 97% original...
What a beauty… I’m close to buying the nitro version
Best thing you’ll do 😁👍
Love your videos and appreciate the $$ conversion!
Thank you 😎
Totally agree. You don't see many people running hobao but I think that is changing due to is it the GTB setting the speed running world alight. Wasn't the first car to hit 219mph the GTB.
i think you are correct yes!
First of all, 😲 Thank You mate! I appreciate you giving us the dollar amount as well, it means a lot to me, especially since I am looking for a First rc to buy, I had a buggy when I was 10, but that was 30 years ago 😅. The hardest bit is making up my mind, although the hyper go truggy seems to be the one I keep coming back to. But I am a working father, and between braces, phones, and now her first car, I have not been able to find the extra bread for myself. Enough about that, I just wanted to say I watch all your videos and bring them on, I will be waiting for them!! Even after I get a car I will be learning as much as I can from you. Have a good day, I wish you the best. Barry from California! Thanks Dude 🤜🤛
Thanks Barry! 😎👍
You should Review the quantum maverick range preferably the rally version
Already have! 😂 it’s on my channel
@@beyondRC oh right have to look for it now🤣
The Hobao GT is a stunning car, i did own one but let it go as it took up a lot of room and i stopped using it, so tough, mine got run over by a full size VW 4x4 and all that was damaged was body and 2 rims
built like tanks!
Nice car. Totally agree -Hobao makes some fine RCs. I was looking at their rollers to make a rally car until my cousin wanted to sell his barely used WR8 for $300. Could not pass that up. Sold my quantum rx to my neighbor and applied that money to the WR8. Wheeling and dealing to satisfy my RC addiction...
I want the wr8 next 😅
@@beyondRC Now I want a Hobao. Too many cars is never enough. Thanks to your vids that got me to buy a 144001 and started me back into RC 3 years ago..👍
Hobao is really impressing me from what I have seen on You tube,, I have a rebranded hobby wing 120amp esc and 3100 kv motor that I want to put to use. I am itching to find a Habao mini project where I can make a decent 3s truggy or MT,,, good video, rally car looks great.
Thanks 😎👍
Thanks 🙏 for sharing this video and informasjon.Looking really good 👍 Cant wait to see you drive and how it handling Onroad offroad.What is the Prize for this One.😊
Got Hobao SC10 they are fun and handle well👍
That is coming up!
@@beyondRC The larger 1/8 Hyper SC8 roller is also a very nice short course truck.
@@gillian9178 planning on getting the 1/10 and 1/8 😁👍
What a beauty… 🔥🔥🔥
I love Hobao, I believe I currently have the UK’s fastest @203mph
thats awesome. The GTB?
@@beyondRC vte2 I did get the Gtb upto 150mph.
i recently got back into rc had in 07 Traxxas t maxx and a stampede got out of rc just bought the rarrlo buggy 2 s got the urge to spend more money on bigger rc truck or truggy been to hobby town usa seen the arma and Traxxas but im still leaning towards the hoboa hyper monster truck tomley rc i believe hes in uk area he did a review on one and once i get my military pay im going to get awesome video cheers from hillybilly Alabama usa
Hi, got the hobao gtb Long wheelbase with bmw rally shell, also have the maverick rx, gtb is miles better, also have hobao sc8 & hobao mt plus 2, I agree build quality on hobao is excellent, all those alloy parts as standard
Definitely pick up a Hobao Hyper 10SC they're brilliant and wicked on 3s with some decent electrics. I'd tune in for the build series if you picked up a roller kit 👍
i think the 10sc will be next. Have been looking at that one for a while now. Of course would do a full build video :)
I have a Hobao Hyper 8SC and it's one of my favorite Cars!
Thanks for sharing. I am looking for a large scale quality rally car 1/7 or bigger, electric 6s and a bit heavy. I am only aware of traxxas and arrma and they don’t have any rally’s. I found a brand called xr5 which looks amazing but it’s never RTR and it costs like a real car , do you have any suggestion that also have spare parts.
Good video. I have 9 different hobao's mainly nitro, but I just managed to get my hands on one of these for a little more than you paid, but it's RTR. You mentioned putting cross country tyres on. Which ones were you thinking of?
Still deciding
What's on your shortlist as I would prefer to cross country rally with it 😊
Car looks awesome! Does anyone know the manufacturer of the body shell?
I keep looking at the gtb compared to traxxas or arrma the quality is awesome at the price point. I have the maverick Rally 1/8 and I can't fault the chassis so far, (since upgrading the servo and tx/rx) but the body is so weak even reinforced it is weaker than most. Would love to see a side by side comparison with the handling to see how much better it is "in the field".
Will definitely do a side by side comparison 👍😎
very nice car i like hobao its just a little more expensive
I appreciate the USD value comparison even though it's kinda unfair to ask everyone to do it since AUD AND CAN are another two popular dollars I have heard referenced a lot in the hobby.
No worries. I have to cater to my audience and like mentioned in the vid 36% is a huge number of people and the UK coming in 2nd. Got to do whats right :/
Anyone know where I could buy the sticker sheet(s) used on this body shell?
Looks like a fun one - what gps device and app do you use?
Sky rc gsm 020
I know you stated you will not run 6s but id still recommend a 150 amp anyway and have the 120 as a spare but thats just my thoughts
Yes already have 👌
Hi mate yes I've got it already its alsome on 6s 90mph easily 😮😮
Seems like a few companies coming out with rally cars right now. I still think Hobao has the best build quality though. It would be nice to know what other types of bodies could potentially fit on it, so you don't have to just stick to the stock one. Thx
Follow up vid coming with a rather special new body! Stay tuned!
@@beyondRCi've been wanting to see this. Are you coming out with the video anytime soon ? 😮
@@luccrouset1675 yes! The weather has been terrible in the Uk but working on the video and will be out next week!
Habao was known as Ofna. Ofna made world champion RCs for decades. If Habao IS Ofna by another name, I need no convincing.
Please review a hong nor x3gt 🎉
Love a good basher
yes we do
Dove si compra?
The mjx does 35mph on 3s
The team associated mt10 does 50 mph on 3s so 35mph on 4s not sure that’s good?
they are both smaller and lighter. This thing is heavy, made mostly out of metal and is 1/8 scale. not only that but its running a much lower KV motor than the other two and on 6s it will do way over 50mph+. For 4s on this setup 35mph is not bad for such a big heavy beast. Its all about gearing and electronics. Plus there is way more to it than outright speed.. For more speed on the current 4s setup i could swap the motor out for something with a higher KV rating and get in the 40+ range easily. Hobao wins when it comes to quality easily and if budget was no issue i wouldn't hesitate taking a hobao over the mjx or mt10 any day. Totally different league :)
Certainly a good looking model I’ll say that for it👍
It’s got Irish ☘️ number plates, love it mate! Why not put dollars 💵 up on the screen and say pounds? That would keep them happy surely? You still use mph so why not use km to keep them happy? or start driving on the wrong side of the road 😅 just kidding 😊 from a guy in the uk 🇬🇧 with pound coins in his pocket
as mentioned its making my videos more watchable for my biggest and second biggest audience US and UK. Good idea sticking it on the screen! Cheers :)
@@beyondRC only Kidding mate, I’m just being a tit as usual! Keep up the great job your doing
Any Porsche bodies for this one?
Yes delta plastik make a Porsche body
For me its still Maverick Quantum RX Flux, just love how does it looks 😮
So u think that mavericks quality and durability is higher then hobaos 😅 that's a first.. well to me hobao is on par with arrma, team corally, traxxas and maverick is on the the low end spektrum . I had the quantum plus and that thing was horrible just small jumps on 3s and ive broken the arms, diffs, shocks etc. And RX is the same chassis and parts as quantum plus. This is not just my opinion this is facts. Hobao can even be put in the same sentence as maverick lol
I would like a little higher gearing.
Everything else is just perfect!hobao 1000 times better than the maverick!period
I would have thought it would be faster with 4s
its geared lower and has a lower powered esc it would be a lot quicker if it was running bigger gears and 6s ESC. My plan is to upgrade it :)
we want Euro € prices :)
🤣🤣👍
Second
Yes we are very happy you day miles and mph thanks your friendly neighborhood Doorman william from NYC forgettaboutit 👊 ✌️ 😀
Meh to dollars, let em work it out.😁
Hahaha 😂😂
That BAO pronounces Bow.
Did you watch the video? Pronounced it both ways and most including myself still say bay oh . Not the end of the world 🤷🏻♂️
first
USA USA 🇺🇸 for the win 🏆 😮😅😊
OMG you don't have to say im entitled to my opinion every time you state an opinion.......
Don’t say it every time but people forget I’m allowed to state my opinion and I don’t care if it offends. Don’t like my vids don’t watch. Simple 😎
@@beyondRC nunderstood. i wont, i think your taste is awful and your reviews are worthless all you say they are all great
This is a street car and NOT a rally car
Got rally in the name.. it’s rally to me 🤩
This is a rally but on road rally. You need to buy another rear shock tower and another set of rear shocks, install them on the front for the longer shock travel and then it’ll be a full fledged off road rally setup. Only other thing you need is the tires for off road. This thing in this on road configuration is still mad off-road! It does really well for such short front travel. I wish they made some kind of chassis cover out of lexan to keep out the dirt and rocks tho. I just ordered one of these in artr form and can’t wait to build it and do the orr conversion.
Never drove it but it's aesthetics are not really pleasing me. Any 1/8 scale rc should have a nice shell/body than this. I'm aware it's been used, but truth be said it looks more like a cheap toy car than an actual scale rallycar like for example the 1/24 Carisma rally car series. Sure the less stuff on the body the less can break, but to me this isnt appeasing at all. You said the chassis is 6S ready but it looks cheap and flimsy, it's hard to imagine it has any rigidity at all tbh. Saying it's better build than an ARRMA is questionable and even laughable. Honestly the best part about this car are probably the dBoots.
Bodyshells are a matter of personal preference. Just because you are not a fan doesn't mean everyone thinks the same. Personally I like it a lot and I appreciate the simplicity. The chassis is tried and tested 6s ready and has been around for years. You do know the hobao VTE is a world record holding car? Hobao as a brand are very underrated and especially by people like you who have no solid previous knowledge of the brand. Doing your research would show hobao are incredibly capable machines. I would take my SSTE over any ARRMA or Traxxas. I review and own lots of ARRMA and Traxxas cars and personally they are overpriced and lower quality than Hobao.. I would take any of my hobao's over anything else out there. Great cars. Appreciate your response and opinion but saying something is laughable without knowing the brand or the facts is more laughable. Cheers
Its better quality then arrma. Diffs r bomb proof on hobao. Hyper sste is way more durable the kraton or sledge. So stóp being a fanboy my dude😊 i own arrma,traxxas,team corally rigs and to be honest team corally and hobao break far less often then traxxas or arrma. And i love all my rigs do im just speaking on my experience. I duno how IT looks Like a toy to u? Materials Like alu and composite r top noch.
