Giving up on Tower Hobbies. 😐 (1)

More i use my hobao Hyper MT more i won't advise to buy this chassis. Or to use it on 4s only and reach 50km/h, no more.

The drivetrain, without center diff. and very big wheels, isn't durable. Also, when you buy a Hyper MT sport plus you don't even know what will come inside. V1 drivetrain? V2 drivetrain, last drivetrain parts upgraded on the V2? It is really hard to know what we will get with this chassis. When i bought mine i previously asked to Hobao if the Sport plus came with the last drivetrain, they answered me yes and i received a V1 drivetrain. When i watch the killeroffroadhobbyz review on the MT plus that he purchase recently, his chassis came with the V1 drivetrain, he needed to upgrade it, with the diff. outdrive also, which confirm he received a V1 drivetrain.

It does wheelie very easily but it doesn't come with a wheelie bar. The slipper, which is expensive, is an option.

I recently break a CVD, hopefully i have some, but they are expensive. There are lot of feedbacks about broken CVD on the MT sport plus.

I largely prefer the Arrma Kraton, not as big, but with a better size to be more durable. At fisrt use i managed to break so much parts on the Hyper MT on 6s, that i didn't break on the Kraton, with a Kraton which is faster. I also managed to bend the rear end of the aluminum chassis without doing as big jump as Vaz does in his videos. The handling of the Hyper MT isn't very easy also.

I had good communication with the hobao taiwan support, really very good communication, but i had feedback that US hobao support doesn't even answer when you have a problem on a brand new truck.

I'm sure the others Hobao cars are nice, but not the Hyper MT sport plus.
