- Metal Bevel Gear Differentials — The front, rear and centre differentials feature metal bevel gears housed in anti-leakage differential cases and filled with varying viscosity silicone oils (20K front, 9K centre, 5K rear) for optimised traction control and smooth torque distribution.
- Strengthened Suspension Geometry — New strengthened composite upper and lower arms provide increased durability whilst maintaining light weight, with optional carbon fibre arm inserts available for ultimate chassis rigidity.
- Adjustable Suspension Geometry — The truck features fully adjustable caster and camber angles, allowing you to dial in the perfect setup for your local track, driving style or weather conditions.
- Front and Rear Anti-Roll Bars — These components dramatically reduce body roll during cornering, improving stability and predictability on bermed turns and technical course sections.
- 3-Channel 2.4GHz FHSS Radio System — The included radio features dual-rate steering and throttle control, allowing you to adjust sensitivity on the fly; 2.4GHz FHSS frequency-hopping technology ensures interference-free operation in busy UK RC parks and events.
- 18kg-cm Torque Servo — The high-output digital servo features ball bearing construction, metal gearing and significant torque output to ensure crisp, responsive steering inputs even under aggressive driving conditions.
- 2.2-inch and 3.0-inch Short Course Tyres — These aggressive compound tyres with tread patterns optimised for short course racing provide excellent grip both on tarmac and loose surfaces, with 12mm hex hubs for easy wheel changes.
- Multiple Drivetrain Options — The truck comes equipped with a hardened steel centre driveshaft, CVA front axles and dogbone rear axles, with optional aluminium centre driveshaft and CVA rear axles available for different driving preferences and conditions.
- Laydown Motor Mount — The CNC-machined aluminium motor mount accommodates motors up to 38mm diameter and includes a spur gear cover to protect drivetrain components during crashes.
- Adjustable Shock Towers — CNC-machined 3mm aluminium shock towers with optional carbon fibre alternatives allow suspension geometry adjustments; shocks are filled with progressive silicone oils (700 front, 600 rear) and feature adjustable rings for fine-tuning ride height.
Technical Performance
The HOBAO HYPER 10SC 2.0 Electric Truck is engineered to deliver professional-grade performance that rivals machines costing considerably more. The 3900Kv brushless motor paired with the HobbyWing 60A waterproof ESC creates a propulsion system that balances raw acceleration with controllability, whilst the dual-rate steering function on the radio system allows you to adjust sensitivity from smooth and forgiving for learning, through to sharp and twitchy for competitive racing. The truck's 325mm wheelbase combines with its 550mm length to create a platform that's stable yet manoeuvrable, making it equally at home on indoor carpet tracks and outdoor tarmac circuits. The advanced suspension geometry, featuring independently adjustable caster and camber on both front and rear, coupled with the progressive spring rates (0.86kg/cm front, 0.64kg/cm rear) and oil-filled shocks, creates a compliant ride that absorbs impacts whilst maintaining precision handling. The metal bevel gear differentials with their carefully selected silicone oil viscosities ensure smooth power delivery without sudden traction loss, critical for maintaining consistency during competitive racing. All components are constructed from premium materials—the hard-anodised aluminium chassis resists corrosion and maintains its finish through hundreds of running hours, whilst the CNC-machined metal parts ensure reliability and repeatability. The 4WD drivetrain with CVA front and dogbone rear axles provides redundancy and durability, with optional conversion kits available to suit different track preferences. This is a truck built to 2S LiPo battery compatibility, a standard that provides excellent power delivery with minimal risk of over-discharging sensitive electronics.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Is the HOBAO HYPER 10SC 2.0 suitable for beginners? — Yes, this ready to run truck is supplied fully assembled and includes everything needed except battery and charger. However, it's classified as Skill Level 2, meaning it has some complexity in setup and tuning that newer enthusiasts may find challenging. The dual-rate radio system helps by allowing you to reduce steering and throttle sensitivity, and the comprehensive adjustment options let you dial in a confidence-building setup. If you're completely new to RC, you might benefit from reading the manual carefully or seeking guidance from experienced RC drivers at your local UK club.
- What battery does the HOBAO HYPER 10SC 2.0 need? — This truck is compatible exclusively with 2S LiPo batteries featuring a single Deans connector plug. 2S LiPo packs (two cells, typically 7.4V nominal) provide the ideal power delivery for the 3900Kv brushless motor and HobbyWing ESC. You'll need to purchase a separate 2S LiPo battery and a compatible charger, as these are not included in the RTR package.
- How fast will the HOBAO HYPER 10SC 2.0 go? — Whilst top speed specifications aren't detailed in the source material, the combination of a 3900Kv brushless motor, HobbyWing 60A ESC, and 2S LiPo power provides substantial acceleration and speed. Final velocity will depend on your specific battery capacity, gearing choices, and whether you're running on tarmac or rougher terrain.
- Can I upgrade and modify the HOBAO HYPER 10SC 2.0? — Absolutely. The truck includes numerous optional upgrade paths including alternative motor mounts, different spring rates and shock towers, carbon fibre suspension arms, alternative steering blocks, different wheel options, and drivetrain alternatives. This extensive upgrade ecosystem means your truck can be customised to match your evolving driving style, local track characteristics, or competitive requirements.
- What's the difference between the RTR version and the ARR version? — The RTR (Ready to Run) version you're looking at is fully assembled and includes the radio system, servo, and ESC. The ARR (Almost Ready to Run) version requires you to install your own radio system, servo, and ESC, making it ideal for racers who have existing equipment or prefer specific component choices.
- Is the ESC waterproof? — Yes, the HobbyWing 60A ESC is waterproof, featuring a built-in cooling fan to manage heat during extended running sessions. The waterproofing means you can run in wet conditions or water crossings without fear of electrical damage, though you should still exercise caution with the motor and other components.
- What type of tracks can I run the HOBAO HYPER 10SC 2.0 on? — As a short course truck with aggressive 2.2-inch/3.0-inch tyres, it's designed for both tarmac and off-road surfaces. The adjustable suspension geometry and differential oil viscosities allow you to optimise setup for specific conditions, whether that's smooth indoor carpet, outdoor tarmac, or rougher terrain.
