Captain Howdy Posted December 20, 2021 Share Posted December 20, 2021 I was all set to buy a Hobao buggy until the prices went up and a new model was announced Didn't want to be 'Betamax man' right or wrong I ended up not buying one. Out of all the 1/8 buggies around, the Hobao still looks the most attractive to me. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stormbringer Posted December 20, 2021 Share Posted December 20, 2021 Certainly solid buggys and definitely no complaints about ours, the phrase as solid as a brick outhouse springs to mind Pity you hadnt got 1 before the prices went up 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomr Posted January 3, 2022 Share Posted January 3, 2022 Thought I’d post this here for anyone interested, it’s not a VS but it’s closely related. First run with my new Hyper SS on 4s Stock out of the box except for wheels/tyres and diff oils It felt a little under geared in the video and has since had a bigger pinion fitted but not had a chance to run it again. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stormbringer Posted January 3, 2022 Share Posted January 3, 2022 Nice 1 mate and well its a Hyper so tough as old boots you seemed surprised you hadnt broke it After converting our H7's we upped our 100A VSe's pinions to 17 tooth and they run cooler than yours . If i remeber right 75 to 80c . What pinions on the ss ? Was that 4s or 6s ? Good to see you enjoying it mate 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wasn’t surprised it didn’t break Hypers are tanks 💪but surprised that the chassis had no scratches 😁 That was running 4s and those temps where in Fahrenheit so plenty of room to gear way higher I reckon. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stormbringer Posted January 3, 2022 Share Posted January 3, 2022 Ahh ok mate i thought it was C so yeh agreed you got wiggle room on the gearing there To be fair it looked faster than our vse's with standard gearing but on a par with our upped gearing but hard to tell in a vid Give it time youl soon mange to scratch it 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strugglecuddle7 Posted January 26, 2022 Share Posted January 26, 2022 Hi guys, I'm looking to buy a hobao buggy, can anyone tell me what the difference is between a hyper ss roller and a vse roller? The ss seems a bit cheaper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stormbringer Posted January 27, 2022 Share Posted January 27, 2022 I think the ss is older buggy but the vs is a really good buggy and solid 👌 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BUDFORCE Posted February 5, 2022 Share Posted February 5, 2022 Nooooo, after a year and a half and countless lipos through it, I've actually done some damage! Bent the front shock tower. I've got a vice and a heatgun and blowtorch so might see if I can bend it back. Still not bad going all things considered. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BUDFORCE Posted February 6, 2022 Share Posted February 6, 2022 Yup fixed, applied heat and use a vice and a large pair of plumbers grips and bent it back into shape. Gave it a good clean, so ready for action. Love this car much. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Strugglecuddle7 Posted February 8, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted February 8, 2022 Well I'm officially in the vse club!

Scottyb Posted February 9, 2022 Share Posted February 9, 2022 I should have kept mine but nowhere to use it round my way anymore, they really are such good value for money. The Kronos is a bloody animal though so i'm not complaining! 😁 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James.S Posted March 10, 2022 Share Posted March 10, 2022 Got a 25kg servo to replace the standard one in my VSe. Should have loads more power. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice I've got that very same Servo in my FTX outlaw its ok. To be honest I have not felt the need to upgrade the server in my VSe but let us know if you think it makes a difference/worthwhile upgrade.

James.S Posted March 12, 2022 Share Posted March 12, 2022 (edited) @BUDFORCE Yeah I've got one in my ZD truggy, they're excellent for the price. The servo in my Hyper was feeling quite weak the last time I used it. I tried adjusting it all but couldn't improve it so just going to replace it Edited March 12, 2022 by James.S Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Strugglecuddle7 Posted March 25, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted March 25, 2022 (edited) Well I actually have my vse a proper thrashing today at a old disused aggregates and my God what a machine!!! I was shocked at how fast it was on 4s, it trounced a Traxxas maxx and kept up with a Mojave and then I switched to 6s and nothing could touch it!!!!! I couldn't get near full throttle without it wanting to flip, Then I blew a front tyre and hit a stationary object at warp speeds!! No breakages..... Just a hell of a dent in the front bumper. Oh and the esc fan died Edit - the crash actually bent the Ali express motor mount! Time to get a proper hobao one me thinks.

Luggas_h1 Posted March 27, 2022 Share Posted March 27, 2022 (edited) hey guys, my friend has built himself a really cool "streched typhon" basically a typhon with a kraton chassis, making it longer, for onroad bashing and speedruns. I took it for a spin the other day and was really surprised that it drove as well as it did. Super stable, even when drifting or shredding tires, while my short-wheel-base-hyper just spins when trying to drift. Ofcourse, its not just a longer typhon and it has many other tweaks for onroad usage that I wont get into now because my point is: I have a Hobao Hyper VSe 6s and I've been using it as a basher/racer for about a year now and I love it, but im pretty tired of offroad bashing in general so I was thinking of putting the super long chassis from the gtb on my hyper, and using it as an onroad speedcar/streetbasher. I wonder if this will fit and if anyone's ever done something like this before(truggy chassis maybe? cant find anything on youtube)? and what do I need? Chassis, brace, longer center driveshaft and bodymounts is that it? If push comes to shove I'll buy a gtb roller, but converting my hyper is about 100€ cheaper (inlcuding fixes because its a bit broken right now) and also I want to keep the buggy body look no matter what. The part numbers for the diffcases are diffrent between the hyper and gtb and im worried i wont be able to fit the diffrent brace, or screw the hyper diffcase to the gtb chassis for that matter. Hopefully, im not the only one with this idea. Edited March 27, 2022 by Luggas_h1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
