HoBao HBVTE2V2 1/7 Extreme OnRoad Electric ARR engineered for speed-focused, precision onroad builds

The HoBao HBVTE2V2 1/7 Extreme OnRoad Electric ARR arrives 80% preassembled to streamline serious onroad projects, bringing a new 3 mm hardanodised aluminium chassis, centre spool with MOD 1 gearing, and oilfilled bigbore shocks together for highstability performance. A relocatable ESC top tray and threeposition battery stopper simplify layout, letting you balance weight distribution for grip and topspeed runs. With a robust 4WD drivetrain, hardened steel front universal joint driveshaft, rear dogbone, and lightweight steel + aluminium centre driveshafts, the platform is ready for powerful electronics and firm traction. Adjustable camber and caster, sway bars, reinforced arms, and precise differentials (antileak housings) give repeatable handling. The roller specification helps you build a tailored touring, rally, GT or speed car using your chosen radio, electronics, tyres, and body shell.

Key features of the HoBao HBVTE2V2 1/7 Extreme OnRoad Electric ARR

  • 4WD drivetrain – hardened steel front universal and rear dogbone for durability
  • Adjustable side body supports – secure fit for touring and GT shells
  • Threeposition battery stopper – easy setup for different LiPo sizes
  • Relocatable ESC top tray – mount front or rear to tune balance
  • Bevel gear differentials – antileak housings and lightweight hardened cups

  • New splash guards – protection for consistent running
  • CNC aluminium camlock motor mount – quick pinion changes and secure fit

Why does HoBao HBVTE2V2 with 3mm aluminium chassis and ESC tray improve highspeed consistency

A rigid 3 mm hardanodised aluminium backbone resists flex, stabilising toe, camber, and gear mesh at speed for cleaner lines and predictable response. The relocatable ESC top tray lets you place mass forward or rearward, refining turnin versus rear traction without extra fabrication. Combined with adjustable side body supports and splash guards, the chassis assembly minimises unwanted movement and keeps the shell secure, helping aerodynamics work consistently across a run. The camlock motor mount makes gear changes quick and accurate, maintaining ideal mesh as you dial gearing to suit track length and ambient conditions. Together these elements support precise setup repetition so pace remains dependable from pack to pack.

How do the bigbore shocks and CNC shock towers control grip over long stints

Oilfilled 17 mm bigbore shocks with #600 silicone oil provide consistent damping, reducing heat fade and keeping tyres in the contact patch through chicanes and sweepers. A 4 mm CNC aluminium shock tower delivers rigid mounting with accurate geometry, and the new rear tower enhances stability under throttle. The 4 mm shock shafts resist bending and sustain seal integrity, while sway bars front and rear manage roll without sacrificing steering feel. Reinforced composite upper and lower arms add strength where loads are highest, helping the suspension return to neutral rapidly for repeatable steering angles. The result is measured compliance that preserves speed and confidence in variable surfaces and crosswinds.

Can the centre spool with MOD 1 spur sharpen throttle response for speed runs

A centre spool with a 34T MOD 1 spur on an 8 mm shaft translates motor torque directly, delivering crisp acceleration and stable throttle modulation. Hardened steel cups and an aluminium spool mount reinforce durability under heavy load, while support for up to a 48T spur gives flexibility to suit gearing targets and motor characteristics. Fitment for 8 mm bore pinions ensures compatibility with strong power systems, and the spool’s directdrive behaviour reduces lash seen with some slipper configurations. When combined with the bevel gear differentials and lightweight cups, the drivetrain maintains smoothness under sustained fullthrottle passes, helping the car track straight and settle quickly during liftoff.

How does the 4WD drivetrain architecture withstand powerful electronics

The platform’s 4WD layout blends a hardened steel front universal joint driveshaft and rear dogbone with new lightweight steel + aluminium centre driveshafts, balancing torsional strength and rotational mass. Bevel gear differentials feature antileak housings and hardened lightweight cups, with factory oils set at #500K front and #50K rear to support traction allocation. Optional gears and housings provide tuning paths as your build evolves, but the stock configuration already emphasises durability and smooth engagement. A rear hub widened by +2 mm alongside an antiloose wheel nut improves stance and retention, while a revised rear suspension mount (+4 mm) contributes to geometry stability. In practice, the drivetrain remains composed with high current ESCs and large motors, transferring power efficiently and reliably.

Does the suspension adjustability help tailor handling across touring and rally use

Front PBS, front and rear sway bars, and reinforced arms create a stable foundation, while adjustable camber and caster let you finetune contact patch and initial steering bite. The threeposition battery stopper and ESC tray placement enable quick changes to polar moment without reengineering the chassis, aiding balance for different tyre compounds and surfaces. With precise shock response and strong towers, small changes to spring rate or oil translate into meaningful shifts in midcorner compliance. Shell fitment benefits from adjustable side supports that keep bodies planted, allowing aero to remain effective at speed. The overall system makes setup approachable, encouraging experimentation for local conditions and driving style.

What sizing and stance do these dimensions deliver onroad

A 560 mm length and 413 mm wheelbase strike a stable footprint for rapid transitions without feeling cumbersome in tight sections. Front track sits at 302 mm, with rear track at 296 mm, balancing turnin agility up front with consistent rear grip under power. Overall height of 160 mm supports low centre of gravity with adequate shell clearance, while a 2540 g roller weight provides a grounded feel ready to pair with electronics and tyres. The dimensional harmony—chassis thickness, wheelbase, track—helps the car remain poised with strong motors and high battery discharge, translating setup choices directly onto the tarmac.

How does HoBao HBVTE2V2 with 3mm aluminium chassis and ESC tray simplify building and maintenance

The camlock motor mount accelerates pinion swaps and mesh checks, saving time between heats. A relocatable ESC top tray reduces wiring compromises, enabling tidy layouts for cooling and service access. The threeposition battery stopper secures packs of different sizes without improvised shims, ensuring safe retention during aggressive braking. New splash guards protect moving parts from debris, prolonging consistency, while full ball bearings minimise drag for efficient run time. With optional components available for driveshafts, gears, housings, and even a carbon chassis, future upgrades remain straightforward, but the roller already offers a comprehensive, clean build pathway from the outset.

Which components round out a confident electronics and control package

Pair the chassis with a hightorque steering servo for precise direction at speed, an ESC and motor sized to your gearing targets, and tyres suited to surface temperature and dust levels. The platform accepts an appropriate radio/transmitter set, pinion gear matched to the spool, wheels and tyre glue for secure fitment, and a body shell finished with durable RC paint. LiPo batteries supply the necessary current for strong acceleration, supported by a reliable charger, while transmitter batteries keep your sessions uninterrupted. These standard components complement the roller’s structural integrity, letting you translate setup knowledge into consistent lap pacing and straightline performance.

Is the HoBao HBVTE2V2 1/7 Extreme OnRoad Electric ARR an affordable path to serious speed

A focused roller configuration delivers the structural essentials—chassis, drivetrain, suspension, towers, mounts—so you invest specifically in electronics, tyres, and bodywork that match your goals. The precise build quality and thoughtful adjustments reduce trialanderror expenses, helping you reach dependable speed with fewer reworks. Clear tuning paths in differentials, gearing, and stance provide scalable gains as you refine driving technique. For enthusiasts who value a streamlined, highintegrity base, the specification offers excellent value without sacrificing robustness or upgradeability. It’s a platform that rewards careful preparation and rewards it again on the runway and circuit.
