Do yourself a favor and buy a starter box. Pull start is just such a pain in the ass especially for break-in. I've watched all your Nitro reviews so far and that's the part that's always just so hard to watch :D Seriously it's a life changer
I've got a starter box and it's such a pain to carry around, and having to make sure the LiPos are changed just for one start, and then discharging them after because I don't drive my race buggy that often. With my basher engines they all start in a single pull, I'm biased to pull starts until one drives up a wall never
@@bingcringing Sheet of metal underneath it, two straps, bam you got yourself a diy pit buddy. Add another sheet on some standoffs, drill some holes and it'll even carry your fuel bottle, glow igniter and screwdrivers. If that's too bulky only add the straps and carry it together with the car. And LiPo care in starterboxes is dead easy, they don't drain much so you never need to charge it to full, only like 3.9-3.95v/cell and even after a whole weekend it'll still be at 3.75-3.8. Not like you need to keep the batteries at their highest performance just for a starter box.
@@RazorRC How often do you take out more than one or two cars? You can totally make one box work with more than one car or with the Ofna box even mark the spots so it'll be easily adjusted to even the outliers like the Losi, will take like 20seconds. Either way if you keep up the nitro reviews it would be worth it even if you didn't take it to your bashing place, just for break-in alone :D. Look for a used Ofna-style box(they sell under a few different names), they're cheap, spares are cheap and they just work, work, work.
Finally my main go to brand gets the recognition it derserves from you 😉 Besides Team Magic. It seems that hobao is a bit more expensive in the US as the hyper vs2 nitro rtr costs about 530 in Europe. But then again you guys have much cheaper traxxas and horizon hobby models.
Real nitrogang buggy right here. Much better pipe than standard rtr models. Just a shame it comes with the big slow engine rather than a screaming ripper. 21
Im on the fence between the Hyper VS2 80% nitro kit or the Hyper 7 tq. I usually bash most of the time but we have a track in the area i moved to and wanna dip my toes in the buggy world.
It's interesting to get a look at the details but it doesn't seem like a great value for money. For the price I don't think I could choose this over an Inferno TKI4 if I wanted a high-end RTR.
I suggest you read up on the type of aluminium used on this Hobao compared to its sub $600 competitors. The Hobao is cheap as you would need the kit Kyosho to compare.
I'm glad I'll never have to pull on that pull starter ever again. #starter box!!

if I only had 1 race buggy and was at a track, definitely. But I have 7 nitros and take them out bashing, so a starter box wouldn't fly.

@@RazorRC Not to mention, a new motor mount for every car!
I remember when the Hyper 8 came out. It was a nice buggy
I gotta admit, I don't understand Hobao's lineup. They sell the VS2, the VS, the SS, and the Hyper 7. But no 8.
If destroy a Hobao hyper 8/8.5 pro and the hyper st pro truggy, then you will destroy every rc car ever made, almost totally idiots proof cars

Absolutely Epic 👍
Should drop few drops of 3n1 oil before heating engine for smooth starting
Brilliant video mate nice truck

yeah, just breaking it in this thing has massive torque, but I'm worried it won't have the revs.
@@RazorRC it's really be suited for a truck, but if you want to get some speed back you can always use a bigger clutch bell
Bro, air filter oil and After run oil, which brands you're using on yr RC ya? Thanks 🤔
cool nitro rc and great review brother
Review? What Review?
Im on the fence between the Hyper VS2 80% nitro kit or the Hyper 7 tq. I usually bash most of the time but we have a track in the area i moved to and wanna dip my toes in the buggy world.
@@jonathanrigley981 definitely get the VS2. It’s got 20 years of improvements on the Hyper 7.
@RazorRC I ended up with the VS2 for that reason, on your other channel you had found shock springs that were softer than stock. Which ones were they?
We asked, you responded!
for sure! some other people asked for another nitro buggy from another brand... they need to stay tuned!

Kyosho ALL day! 👍

Why didn't u just richen the high speed needle instead of playing with the throttle lol 😆🤣
I didn't know it was set crazy lean (like 3-4 turns!) until after I started it. But a little throttle is usually enough to get it fired.
The nitro bug has bitten! Isn’t this like 4 now 😂 yeah that pull-start is no good i wonder if they offer a bump box conversion
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Lol I thought the title said hobo hyper
F pull starts
Blah, blah, blah, just run it! 😉🤣
That's what I'm saying bro lol
Just go home man, go home(most of us are here cause we wanna hear his opinions on the buggy)
@@romper4444 Some people are just clueless! 🤣
I agree 😂😂
666? I'd send that back
High temp u too lean
Converted mine to brushless........nitro sucks, $50 a gallon....local hobby shops talks ppl.out of buying nitro......CONVERT TO BRUSHLESS PEOPLE..... Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh, grrrrrr ugh, poot😅
I've got plenty of electric I fancied a nitro cost me £160
lol hes going to snap that pull start
