Hi guys,
Here for sale is my HoBao Hyper GTS.
This was initially bought used with the intentions of maybe doing a little bit of work to it and then using it as an addition to my off road models, however I was unfortunately stung with this and it needed a significant overhaul to get it fully working again and has actually cost me significantly more to rebuild than it would have to buy one of these brand new (this owes me far, far too much).
New parts include:
- Chassis
- Drive shafts
- Spektrum A6150 High Voltage servos (compatible with LiPo receiver packs)
- Servo horns
- Fuel tubing
- Shocks rebuilt
- A-Arm braces
- Exhaust, exhaust manifold and exhaust gasket
- Engine backplate and seals
- Clutch bell bearings
- Air filters (also comes with another brand new set of air filter elements, not pictured)
- Diffs stripped and rebuilt
The engine has also been fully stripped down, cleaned and rebuilt, although it clearly had barely any use before I acquired it. I have therefore re-broken it in using the HoBao method with 25% nitro (Byrons 2500), and have left the carburettor at factory settings ready for the new owner to tune as they see fit to their needs.
As you can see by the photos, with all the work and parts that have gone into it, this isn’t too far off a new vehicle now. The wheels are not the originals but will certainly get you going, and the body shell isn’t too bad, but I can see has seen better days. They’re the only negative points that come to mind and are minor at that.
Also photo’d is a scrape on one of the shocks, not sure how this came about but does not affect the functionality.
This has not been used on the ground at all since the rebuild, just the engine broken in and nothing more as I didn’t want to scratch the lovely new chassis up!
You will need your own radio gear and receiver battery to get going.
I have this listed on eBay here: (also see my feedback and longevity on the platform - I know I’m relatively new to this forum but certainly not to selling!) http://rover.ebay.com/rover/1/710-53481-19255-0/1?icep_ff3=2&pub=5575378759&campid=5338273189&customid=&icep_item=254735910252&ipn=psmain&icep_vectorid=229508&kwid=902099&mtid=824&kw=lg&toolid=11111
If purchased thought the forum either via bank transfer or ‘PayPal gift’ I will be able to something on the eBay price which is at £300 - This is primarily to cover the PayPal and eBay fees as well as attempting to pull back just some of what this has cost me to get to where it is!
I won’t be able to post this until Tuesday 06/10/2020 so if this is bought before then, please bare that in mind.
Thank you for looking.
