Nicholas Jones Posted July 24, 2022 Share Posted July 24, 2022 Hello all, I am planning to buy a Hobao Hyper ST but the only review on the internet is in complete gibberish. I wanted to know: Is it strong Has it got a good engine Is it a good AstroTurf racer Has it got good jump balance Feel free to attach any photos or videos as it would help me.

locky Posted July 24, 2022 Share Posted July 24, 2022 It's a typical bashing truggy which is known to be fairly robust. The RTR version has cast aluminium front and rear chassis braces which will crack, so get the CNC versions used on the Pro version. The engine is a standard basher engine, if you need performance for racing then there are much better ones. The shocks are average, so again upgrade especially if racing as well as the steering and throttle servos. You will find a number of youtube videos to gauge performance. If you want to race and have a local club then best see what they race. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nicholas Jones Posted July 24, 2022 Author Share Posted July 24, 2022 (edited) CNC braces look the part, i might buy them once it is broken in and i have saved enough pocket money 😄 Edited July 24, 2022 by Nicholas Jones Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kpowell911 Posted July 24, 2022 Share Posted July 24, 2022 (edited) The Pro is amazing, but the rtr has some issues as stated above. Wouldnt be my choice for racing personally but it all boils down to budget Edited July 24, 2022 by Kpowell911 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nicholas Jones Posted July 24, 2022 Author Share Posted July 24, 2022 (edited) Would it be sensible to buy pro parts when the rtr ones break? Edited July 24, 2022 by Nicholas Jones Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stormbringer Posted July 24, 2022 Share Posted July 24, 2022 Possibly I have the rtr version and used it quite hard but have only broken 1 part the front pin holder on rear diff but changed to cnc for that Also its now converted to leccy and it goes like stink lol 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
