HOBAO HYPER MONSTER TRUCK X ELECTRIC 80% ROLLING CHASSIS
Experience with little work mighty monster truck action in 1/8 scale with the Hyper MTX Electric ARR by Hobao! The big fan favorite is finally back and presents itself in a new design.
The core of the truck is the monocoque chassis frame made of 7075 aluminum, which is up to any challenge. New handlebars and shock absorber designs with matching hart springs also contribute to the fact that the truck can go through any terrain well and bash properly. Add to that a massive center differential, robust and durable wheel suspension and an improved center roll bar, that transforms the Hyper MTX into a real monster with a certain fun factor.
With this ARR (Almost Ready to Run) version, everything is of course pre-assembled at the factory, but comes without pre-installed electronic components. The body has already been cut out to fit perfectly. Within a few steps of work, the Hyper MTX Monster Truck is ready for use. A real monster truck made for bashing, jumping and racing with no ifs and buts!

Frequently Asked Questions
This is an ARR (Almost Ready to Run) kit aimed at experienced RC drivers. It arrives 80% assembled with the chassis, suspension, and drivetrain complete, but requires you to install your own motor, ESC, receiver, and battery—so basic electronics knowledge is essential.
The kit does not include a motor, ESC (electronic speed controller), servo, receiver, or battery. You'll need to source these separately and install them yourself before the truck is ready to run.
It's a 1/8-scale monster truck measuring 635mm long, 495mm wide, and 290mm tall, with a 396mm wheelbase. This makes it a substantial vehicle suitable for outdoor bashing and jumping.
The truck features a rigid 7075 aluminium monocoque chassis, upgraded 17mm big bore shock absorbers with hard springs, a massive centre differential, and an improved centre roll bar—all designed to handle rough terrain, jumps, and impacts.
The ARR kit includes the pre-assembled chassis, 4WD drivetrain, shock absorbers, suspension components, servo saver, handlebar, wheelie bar, 17mm hex wheels with monster truck tyres, and a pre-cut body shell. You must supply the motor, ESC, receiver, servo, and battery.
