Welcome to ChriswithaC RC! In this video, I'm excited to unveil my latest project build: an epic Hobao SSTE truggy that I put together on a budget. My wife and daughter gave me this truggy as a birthday gift, but I didn't want to spend a lot of money on it. So, I got creative and repurposed some parts, scoured the second-hand market, and even received some generous gifts from fellow RC enthusiasts.
In this video, I'll take you through my build process and show you how I was able to create an awesome truggy without breaking the bank. I had a clear idea of what I wanted to achieve, and I'm excited to share my tips and tricks with you.
So, if you're looking to build an RC vehicle on a budget, or if you're just curious about how I put together this Hobao.
I Genuinely think its come out totally Epic !

Yo! Thanks for the shout-out. Your truggy came out awesome. The body looks amazing. I'm surprised at how good that colour looks. Honestly, I wouldn't have thought it would look as good as it does. You are going to love the 4s backflips. They handle great, but they also give you great control in the air. It's crazy that the SSTE has been around for 7 years. Such a great machine on 4s. I run the Redline HV batteries in the SSTE and 4s is perfect for it. As you know, this is a light truck. And 4s just keeps it where it should be. :) Cheers! And enjoy this beast.

Hey Jason , Been a quite follower of you channel for some time , So quite honored your here buddy . Ah So glad you think so buddy , Yeah the body i think looks so clean , i was on the fence even when i came home with the paint , but flew caution to the wind and though well if it comes out bad ill just replace the body , glad i stuck with it . Yeah the build and backflips were definitely a idea i got from you . i have them on my outcast 4s and love the way they grip up , and as you say really do help with air control . Yeah the SSTE even though been out for a while sure does still have it in my opinion , My happy place sure is 4s , and was looking for a race inspired look and build but keeping the costs to a minimal . I think this is it ? As i said love your channel buddy , and also ive been watching your videos on the Mojave as its a truck i want to pick up myself . Looks a strong and fun truck for sure , i have the 6s but thinking of swapping it out for the more nimble 4s. Keep up the great work Stay awesome Chris :)

@kurtsrcTV 7 месяцев назад

Very good cars and most underrated ! These things are perfect on 4s with a 17t pinion

@ChriswithaCrc 7 месяцев назад

Hey buddy , Thanks so much for watching , Yeah i got to say i very much agree with you so underated the design is a older one but wow they really made it a tough truck . Yeah planning running only on 4s and have a good motor to run it with a 20t pinion . So plenty of speed and power . Cant wait to get it out Stay awesome Chris :)

@ChriswithaCrc 5 месяцев назад

Hey buddy , thanks for watching really does mean a lot . I got to say I’m over the moon with mine at present very very capable and fast . Also the build quality is extremely good for the price . Are you thinking of picking one up yourself? Stay awesome buddy Chris 🤙👊🚀🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿👌💪👍🏆

I put a small t-bone bumper on the front of mine and a carbon fiber chassis brace off a hoboa gtb bolts right in

@ChriswithaCrc 3 месяца назад

Wow perfect 🤩 it’s a shame that T bone are not making them anymore , Phase 1 RC do have the same looking parts mind

@Top-Jimmy Месяц назад

@@ChriswithaCrc A front bumper is a must have imo... Will eliminate chances of front end damage by 99% If it fits, Use it, I think you would be able to get an Arrma Mojave 6s or 4s bumper to fit it with a bit of dremel work. I'm a huge Hobao fan mate and have 3 of them all of which are Frankenstein builds. They are to me the most durable cars I own. A bit harder to get hold of here in Australia. Only an owner of one knows the durability and power you can get out of them. Fantastic build mate. 👍⚡

@madsrcbuggy 7 месяцев назад

I'm really enjoying your videos, Chris, very nice talk and run-through of your cars! I don't manage to watch all videos, but the ones where I am interested in the car, you really provide some of the best deep insight! I am indeed considering getting this Hobao model, so it was very useful for me to watch. Looking forward to see you getting it out for a run, I can follow you with the crap weather, here in Finland it is probably even worse, we got frost and snow mixed in with the nasty rain and darkness, proper depression weather... Good thing we got an expensive hobby and some great RU-vid community to kill time with, ha ha!

@ChriswithaCrc 7 месяцев назад

Hey there Mads ! , Massive Hello from South wales UK , So pleased you are enjoying the videos means so much to me . Wow thanks so much for the kind words buddy , Yeah the SSTE is awesome built Truggy really does have a racing feel to it and they use these for racing all around the world , very underated for sure . Im not one to follow trends like other channels , i get what i like ! Geez that weather does sound brutal buddy for sure , Lucky we have these trucks to keep our minds busy and awesome videos from people like minded to us . Again thanks for stopping by buddy , Stay awesome Chris :)

@ChriswithaCrc 7 месяцев назад

Hey Joe , Hope all is well with you dude . Yeah the colour really pops dont it in a understated way , Classy with a Captial C ! Yeah the mud flaps are awesome if you search Big Foot Customs on Facebook and speak to Ben Davies im sure he can make them for your trucks . Stay awesome buddy Chris :)

@joejohnson1969 7 месяцев назад

@ChriswithaCrc No worries, Chris A.Ok, did you use core-rc paint or tamiya just a question, bro. Thinking of that colour on a future rc.car project. 👍✌️

@sebrmz450 4 месяца назад

Great truck bu I have had two SSTE and the weakest point on these is the rear chassis brace. It's too soft and you'll bend your chassis very quickly. You'll have to upgrade this brace.

@ChriswithaCrc 4 месяца назад

Hey buddy yes totally agree , so damn good for sure , I’ve already upgraded all the braces and towers with some tasty Cogan billet pieces , have a video up on the channel if you want to look . Stay awesome Chris 🤙

@borislavpenkov1544 7 месяцев назад

Hello mate. I have one question. I wonder which one to buy, and I see that you have both. Outcast 4s or Hobao Hyper SSTE? Which do you think is stronger for bashing, which gives you more pleasure to drive? I am left with the impression that Hobao is stronger and easier to ride.. what is your opinion about the two models

@ChriswithaCrc 7 месяцев назад

Hey there buddy , Massive thanks for watching the videos . Right for me right now i love them both ( Yes that seems the easy answer i know ) , But what i mean about this is there two quite different experiences . The outcast v2 4s is wild and a stunt truck keeps you on your toes ! , But the steering is wide and not strong . but great fun for general bashing . The SSTe is a race truggy through and through , sharp , nimble , fast and predictable and great fun for ground bashing ! if i had to pick from one or the other right now i would take the SSTE as you can still jump it , but also chase 6s trucks and pass them with ease on the ground . Hope that this helps you Stay awesome , Chris :)
