Could this be the most underrated ⅛ Scale Truggy ever?
This is the Hobao Hyper SSTE!
Hobao have been around for many years and many racing fans love them but when it comes to everyday bashing, they never seem to get the popularity they deserve!
I remember owning multiple hyper 7 nitros back in the day and even though they were better suited on a track they proved to be amazing everyday bashers and used to take some serious abuse!
Do you have some spare electronics just hanging around?
This could be the perfect Rolling Chassis to make use of them and what you get is one of the most durable and awesome truggies around without spending a fortune!
Would you pick this over a Traxxas Sledge or Arrma Kraton?
