Hobao:

Great cars. I've driven a few of the newer versions (PBS, Pro, the older pro, and some of the RTR versions) over the weekend and I can safely say that they ALL drive really nicely. The pro version is awesome and is convincingly beating some of the more established teams and team drivers here in the UK.

I reckon Hobao will appeal to all but the most hard nosed Mugen & Kyosho fans. Definitely a team to watch.

Not too keen on the stock engines though, if I were buying one I'd get the pro without an engine and run my choice of engine - RB.

Comparing to my old Mugen MBX4RR, I reckon the only reason I was turning faster laps was because my WS7 engine was giving me the edge. Had the Hobao's been powered by my engine, I wouldn't like to say.......
