vettehigh Posted February 2, 2017 Share Posted February 2, 2017 I plan on buying the HoBao Racing 1/8 Hyper MTe Sport Plus. I want to do an immediate upgrade on the parts and make it bulletproof as possible. Can anyone list what I should upgrade to and the part numbers along with the total quantity of each. Thank you so much. I went on the Hobao site below, but I do not know if this is the best place to get them or if they have everything to upgrade http://eshop.hobao-racing.com/c/hop-ups-upgrades_hyper-mt-plus_hyper-mte-electric-monster-truck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used to use RCWillpower but they have got very exspensive now You could try CML but a few of the bits you'll be after are out of stock .. I would recommended the following OP-0081 wheelie bar x1 OP-0101 Chassis brace x1 OP-0094 Torque limiter x1 OP-0083N front / rear cvds x2 94077 outdrives x2 id also look at replacing the lower rear links with the upper links on the rear and get some Thunder Tiger MT4 g3 rear links to replace the front steering links That little lot should make it as bulletproof as you can get it You don't have to do it all at once you can just wait for things to break then do it as some bits you may find you don't need. I would get the wheelie bar and brace though ASAP just to save guard yourself Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OP-0083N front / rear cvds x2 94077 outdrives x2 Does that mean 2 total pieces of each?

capri-boy Posted February 2, 2017 Share Posted February 2, 2017 I ordered from the eshop, delivery speed was on a par with RC-Willpower, though it pays to shop around - some bits we're cheaper in the UK, some not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Devin Posted February 22, 2017 Share Posted February 22, 2017 Yeah it's same still see if I can get hold of one and I'll keep it as a show body, and I always shoe goo and dry wall tape the shells to make them last Sent from my SM-G935F using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slashaholic Posted March 8, 2017 Share Posted March 8, 2017 (edited) I have recently become a proud owner of the rtr version of the plus... love it, started with 6s right out the box. I also have a heavily modified slash 4x4 so I'm experienced with tons of power. Let me say I sure was impressed with the speed and power of this heavy beast. Only issue I have had is steering servos being eaten for lunch by this monster. So far I have gone thru the stock one, a savox waterproof. I have the servo saver set as loose as I can. Really have enjoyed this thing. Do already have the front brace installed and wheelie bar.

Slashaholic Posted March 10, 2017 Share Posted March 10, 2017 I installed the optional one from hobao. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slashaholic Posted March 10, 2017 Share Posted March 10, 2017 So far about 14 packs now and haven't had any real breakage... still fighting the weak steering and it eating servos. End points are set, I have also checked the servo saver. All seems fine, so what's the deal? I did order a 20kg all metal gear servo to try. Should be more than enough servo shouldn't it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mydoddy69 Posted March 10, 2017 Author Share Posted March 10, 2017 Yep 20kg should be plenty, not sure why your eating servos to be be honest if you have your end points all set up and your servo saver is loose it should be fine. Not much help there sorry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slashaholic Posted March 10, 2017 Share Posted March 10, 2017 (edited) Could have just been bad luck..... I did launch it off a dirt pile about 15ft in the air. Landed right on the right front popping the pin out the a arm at the knuckle. Need to do that bolt mod soon. Anyhow, any advise from you guys on any setup changes to make it hold the turns a bit better without flipping at half throttle? Edited March 10, 2017 by Slashaholic Autocorrect on phone. ..

Slashaholic Posted March 11, 2017 Share Posted March 11, 2017 My new body come in today... got it painted and just waiting a few days to allow the paint to cure before I shoe goo it. Sorry bout the photo quality but I'm limited to how much I can upload. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mydoddy69 Posted March 11, 2017 Author Share Posted March 11, 2017 (edited) Very nice How are you finding those stock wheels and tyres ? Do they balloon a lot what's the grip like ? Thinking of giving mine a yearly overhaul so thought I might try them and a stock plus shell for a change Edited March 11, 2017 by mydoddy69 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slashaholic Posted March 11, 2017 Share Posted March 11, 2017 (edited) Stock tires are fine on most surfaces. Don't really have any complaints. They do Ballon alot on 6s. I haven't ran on 4s but maybe 2 times as I find it too slow for my liking. I wear em out I will be trying to find an after market solution. Wheels and tires can be ordered from Hobao. I do have a question, how do you set the failsafe on stock electronics for signal loss? Mine just goes full throttle.

My go to wheels on a MT are Proline Desperado rims with either Shockwaves or Traxxas Talons fitted. Only work out to 6 inches high but the truck don't roll over nearly as much. Follow your instructions for the failsafe and leave the TX in neutral position (to coast) when you set it. If you set it to brake you'll most likely go backwards instead.

Vr5fx Posted April 5, 2017 Share Posted April 5, 2017 I'm a new owner of one of these puppies. I've not read through the thread yet, but I should ask, anyone tried to drop a 1717 in one? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vr5fx Posted April 10, 2017 Share Posted April 10, 2017 @mydoddy69 Look familiar pal? Bad news on it's first outing, it didn't come home working. 2 hexes rounded out on the wheels. (yaaaaaaay ) and the gear box ate itself. Good job, slipper. Loved it though! Spares ordered so it will be out again this weekend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mydoddy69 Posted April 10, 2017 Author Share Posted April 10, 2017 (edited) Ouch !! Can honestly say ive never had any trouble with the gearbox the spur on the other hand ! You might want to gear it down if your running 6s I had it geared for 4s - 5s Looks like you had fun though i think there was some spare gear box gears in with them spares fella ?
