I can't tell you how much I appreciate long term reviews.!! I'm sick of getting an RC after watching all the release videos only to find out that actually, it starts failing & falling apart after a few months.!! You don't have to worry about that with a Hobao, those things are made to last.!! 👍 👍
Pleased to have been a subscriber for a while now... Thanks for your thoughts and response to my question (6s 1/8 scale) over on Facebook the other day.. Top bloke 👍🏻
Shocked to hear that was on 4s!!! Don’t think in the wet you would have done much apart from spin on 6s! Great video. I’m looking at getting a hobao for my next purchase.
Hey man , I always run mine on 4s , Lower temps , More control faster in corners . Your going to love these dude there EPIC , Make sure you get the upgrades you need for them and your set buddy Stay awesome Chris :)
Mate, mine is bone stock other than the motor & ESC, put the 6s system from my Bigrock 6s in it! Gave the stock system to Ricky as he blew his up. Gave it a pasting last week and it took it in its stride! Anyone who knows me knows I'm a proper Arrma fanboy! To excessssss!!!!!! But love this truck, it's the only truck I've not got spares for! It's about the toughest truck i have except for my Mojave 6s! Not another truck out there that can beat that things toughness or reliability! The SSTE is close though!
Haha, mate, sounds like your SSTE is living its best life with that 6S system in it! I can only imagine the power-it’s like strapping a rocket to a brick! 🚀 Props for handing the stock system to Ricky after he nuked his 🤣. You’re a true Arrma fanboy for sure, and I get it-the SSTE is a tank! Toughest in your lineup except for the Mojave 6S? That’s saying something! I’ve heard legends about that thing’s indestructibility too. But hey, no spares for the SSTE? You must have some serious confidence in it-or you’re living on the edge! 😆
Funny how one can think, I need all the latest and greatest, red anodising and all the rest, while what you you might need/want is sitting in front of you all the time.. Always liked the look of this Truggy,, little beastie!
I hear you buddy totally do , red anodised stuff is nice but when you Have the good stuff sat at home don’t seem so nice then does it . Yeah buddy you should pick one up Stay awesome Chris 🤙👍🤘🚀
Nice video!!! Hobao is that kind of brand that people tend to forget, but price wise, quality wise, racing pedigree wise, you can’t go wrong. Few brand can offer this kind of mix. I have a question regarding the tires on this Truggy. Do you prefer the Fastrax or the Backflip LP? Thanks and keep going on!!!
Hey buddy i totally agree with you . Hobao is for sure one of those brand people just dont talk about unless you know ! IF YOU KNOW YOU KNOW :) Good question btw the Fasttrax truggy rocks all day long gives the truck way more control and work amazing plus it wont wheelie every single time you hit the throttle , just grips and goes like crazy ! Hope this helps Stay awesome Chris :)
@@ChriswithaCrc Would you recommend the power system from the Kagama 6s in this truggy? I ask because Jennys Rc has cheap take off systems from corrally and arrma to choose from
Hey buddy , Im using a 2800mah 2 battery i purchased from Bangood that is specifically made for the RC8X works great and cheap also . Here is the link buddy - www.banggood.com/7_4V-2800mAh-2S-8C-Lipo-Battery-JST-Plug-for-RadioLink-RC8X-Transmitter-p-1980558.html?rmmds=myorder&cur_warehouse=CN&ID=510962 Hope this helps , Stay awesome Chris :)
Man , every time I get a new car , 5 times , I like how they’re so super quiet and roll so smooth . I hope to bring a couple back to that with all new bearings when winter comes . Both motor bearings too in the engine ? And diffs . I wonder if that would do it if anyone can help ? Thanks
@@ChriswithaCrc Thanks so much Chris! That seems like an excellent runtime. Wasn't sure whether to go for ~5000mah to save weight, but it doesn't really seem necessary.
Its not diffing out dude , I when i came home noticed a rear tyre had come unglued , Trust me when i say this ive done tons of work on this truggy and its all in tip tip shape and tuned awesome dude , spent countless hours getting this one right . hope your well Luke dude Chris :)

I think we need a comparison with your Sledge :)
Mate, mine is bone stock other than the motor & ESC, put the 6s system from my Bigrock 6s in it!
Gave the stock system to Ricky as he blew his up.
Gave it a pasting last week and it took it in its stride!

To excessssss!!!!!!
But love this truck, it's the only truck I've not got spares for!
It's about the toughest truck i have except for my Mojave 6s!
Not another truck out there that can beat that things toughness or reliability!
The SSTE is close though!

Thanks Chris for the answer. It will be Fastrax Truggy Rock for me then.
Question. You can only pick one. This or the Kagama?
This all day long dude 100%
love this truck so much .

What battery you running?
DXF 8000mah 130c buddy there great value for money and work awesome .
Stay awesome
Chris :)
What battery are you using in the rc8x mate

What wheels are you rocking, really suit the rig.
Hey buddy , I’m using the Fasttrax Truggy Rockforms
There great on 4s but on 6s they will explode 💥
I really like them 🤙🚀🤘👍
Man , every time I get a new car , 5 times , I like how they’re so super quiet and roll so smooth . I hope to bring a couple back to that with all new bearings when winter comes . Both motor bearings too in the engine ? And diffs . I wonder if that would do it if anyone can help ? Thanks
Are you running them in wet conditions buddy if so I always use GT85 all over my trucks to keep them lubricated .
🤙
Does anyone know what sort of runtime you’d get with that 8000mah battery?
I average roughly about 30/35 mins buddy with mine that’s flat out all the time .
@@ChriswithaCrc Thanks so much Chris! That seems like an excellent runtime. Wasn't sure whether to go for ~5000mah to save weight, but it doesn't really seem necessary.
U can't hear the front diffin out??
Its not diffing out dude , I when i came home noticed a rear tyre had come unglued , Trust me when i say this ive done tons of work on this truggy and its all in tip tip shape and tuned awesome dude , spent countless hours getting this one right .
hope your well Luke dude
Chris :)
Fuk duratrax and proline. I've had so many of them explored. But not one problem with the DB,s. And the price alone.
