Popular Post MAZ Posted April 30, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted April 30, 2023 Hi all, its been absolutely ages since I was last here I'm thinking about getting into RC again after having a very very long break I'm also going to have to start all over again as all my rc stuff got stolen after my garage got broken into a few years back I'm thinking about getting a Hobao Hyper ST Pro - I'm familiar with it (I had a couple that I converted to electric) and I really like the idea of getting a kit that I build myself 🙂 thing is, there's none in stock anywhere and even though it's an old design, it's still really expensive Here's a little pic of my old ST pro (with its bashing shell fitted lol) So yeah, just wanted to say hello and to say it looks like I'm on the hunt for an ST Pro kit 🙂 🙂 Cheers 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have spent a small fortune of parts, accessories, and upgrades though. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brought all mine well the very latest one some whiskey was involved 🥴 the one and only time I drink I buy another RC 🤣 but yes you’re right about spending a small fortune on accessories I’m not finished with my TRX4 yet not even looking at bits for the SCX6 🤣 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I already know that it will need a steering servo upgrade, that's a minimum of £50. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MAZ Posted May 2, 2023 Author Share Posted May 2, 2023 Morning 🙂 just wanted to thank everyone for welcoming me back into the fray lol Just some observations I've noticed so far.. Trying to find anywhere that stocks the ST Pro kit is proving quite difficult. The price for kit seems to have stayed the same somI guess thats okay.. Finding a motor and esc combo is also proving a bit difficult and pricey too I've not even looked for lipo's yet.. I'll also need a charger too - literally everything got nicked from my garage so I really am having to start over again 🤦🏻♂️ first things first, buy the ST kit and start from there 🙂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
