Hobao VTE 2 - What I DO NOT like about it

Still a great car but a few things could be an issue for you.
FYI The Arrma body mounts do fit the rear great!

The reason all those chassis are cut at an angle at the wheels and not straight is because these are just buggy chassis with different wheels/shocks for on road. The buggy wheels are wider/bigger and need that space. That's why all the 1/8 on road cars look like they got squished, because they're just 1/8 buggys with on road wheels.

great video thx for the info and sharing btw Scorched Roto-Lock mount can take up to 49mm 17 series

can't wait to see this on the road. Thanks for the many good ideas.

I completely agree with you with good reason. I do not have a HOBAO but I’ve imagined working on one.. seems all the things it needs are what already exists on the ARRMA platform. If anything… the limitless is already the most equipped and capable rc platform, and nothing beats it once it’s modded further. Seems there’s almost nooo room left for another company to do better than the ARRMA platform while avoiding copying their platform.

An MGM esc mounting bracket will also work well too.

mr. liberty francis, where did you pickup that quick release body mount? do you have a link or a specific description of that part? thank you for your pro's & con's of this hobao vte-2 rc car. it is greatly appreciated.

For that F50 Delta body - I have one myself - just order the optional hobao posts - they have two extended ones that work perfectly for the front two posts.

Nice info fam. I have that same F50 body for my Arrma Felony. I see you had clear tape on the wing. I had trouble with that as well and I put doubled sided adhesive tape in between and its solid as 🪨 🎸 🤘 I also received my Hobao extreme roller yesterday and you have a pretty unique setup.

From what I heard this car had a lot of input from guys that drag race not to say people won't pull off some good numbers with speed runs but it is more so a drag car

The rear is adjustable...nOT ONLY 0 DEGREE

[PFinkoloTL]

Thanks for sharing all this. What wheels are those front/rear? Do the rear ones widen the rear as if there was some offset?

[LiquidSSSnake]

Looking at those front upper arms and I'm wondering if they'll fit on an Arrma? With the way they're angled would they pull out some caster?

Great video! Just subbed! I don't think you will like those tires. My Infraction wouldn't hook with those. I went with GRP ultra soft XB. Also got some amazon specials, and they rock. The amazons are real rubber, and hook. They just need glued. Got long winded. Great video.

To keep more looking of body try velcro or magnets even

[jasonjohnson]

Does that chassis have different gearing front and rear? The reason I ask is I thought those powerhobby tires were setup for the felony where the rears were taller than the fronts. Awesome build and really dig that Ferrari body

I've owned a lot of hobao's... and their quality is always excellent. Especially in drivetrain and differentials, so I wouldn't worry about their aluminum being not good quality. However I am most disappointed about not being able to fit castle 17 series motors in the car at all... with the 1/5 scale mount also... doesn't fit. Really a bummer. Always have had to cut down the body mounts when installing custom body, that is nothing new, with the VT 1 the body sat a little higher in the back. Overall I love almost everything about the car, except the damn motor mount.

[Sssssssss]

I use the same things to hold The canopy on my rc boat and my darg car

[theirishaxe]

Do you think it's possible to put some hobao hyper mt aarms and shock towers on it? To make a nice monster truck?

[eduardonessim]

hi great vid..! are those wheels reted for speed runs 150 mph like the GRP ? ...dors this hobao has the same lenght between wheels as the limitless or is it wider ? thanks .

[fredjames]

Did you have to use the washers to put the grippers on your car
