Hobao VS2 1/8 Buggy Review: It's Good!

Hobao Hyper VS2 1/8 4WD Brushless Racing Buggy ARTR - it's a mostly-built kit. BYO electronics and paint the body, glue the tires, and you're away!

The more I look into Hobao, the more enthusiasm I find from satisfied owners of their models. The Hyper VS2 is reportedly no different - but, as always, I've gone out of my way to know as little as possible about it before we get it on screen.

My first experience with this model is intended to be just like your first experience with it: open the box, put it together, and see what we think. So, let's get to it!
