In this video, I’m breaking down my "Urban Assault" build for the HoBao Hyper SSTE. This isn't just another ramp jumper; we have the Kagama for that. This rig is designed specifically for the "Value-First" basher who needs to survive the concrete jungle of Richmond. From dealing with broken glass and giant potholes to jumping curbs and stairs, I’ll show you the exact upgrades and suspension geometry I used to make this the perfect urban truggy. We’re diving deep into the technical side, covering everything from tire carcass thickness to the "one pubic hair" gear mesh rule. Whether you're running 4S or 6S, this build is designed to handle it all without stripping hardware or popping shock caps.

Ultimate HoBao Hyper SSTE Build: The Perfect Urban Assault RC!
"How do your RC cars look brand new in every social media post?" 🤫 The truth is, my rigs get absolutely abused. But every time they break or come in for major maintenance, they get the ultimate kitchen sink treatment. In this video, I’m using the Arrma Quake 1/10 2WD to walk you through my step-by-step cleaning and detailing process that re-moisturizes dry, graying plastics, hides deep scuffs, and prevents carbon steel screws from rusting out. More importantly, doing this deep clean before cracking open your gearboxes is the only way to prevent sand, dust, and grease from turning into a destructive "grinding paste" that will ruthlessly shred your gears. If you're really good at breaking your stuff like I am, this routine will keep your Arrma Quake—or any basher in your fleet—looking fresh out of the box even if it’s seen a hundred crashes. 🛠️ GEAR USED IN THIS VIDEO: WD-40 Specialist Silicone Quick-Dry Spray: https://amzn.to/4nYvWnT Dawn Platinum / Powerwash Spray: https://amzn.to/4dUp0nu or https://amzn.to/4u6xIVB Heavy Duty Toothbrush: https://amzn.to/4vmHiVy (Legal Note: As an Amazon Associate, I earn from qualifying purchases.

Stop losing your front shocks! 🏎️💨 If you’ve ever sent your Hobao SSTE or VS2 off a big jump only to walk over and find a front shock dangling, you know exactly why I put "Never Again!" on the thumbnail.

I’m walking you through the specific parts and the exact bench-work steps needed to secure those front shocks once and for all. No more "walks of shame" to pick up parts in the dirt—just hard landings and reliable bashing. In this video, we cover: The Root Cause: Why the stock Hobao setup fails on hard landings.
