Hyper H2 - how are people finding it on carpet?

Chris56 · #1 16-02-2013

Hi folks, I currently run a TLR22 but am considering changing it for a H2. I mostly run on carpet and was wondering how well it performs on such tracks, particularly compared to the Team-C TC02C (the other car im interested in)

Any feedback/advice would be much welcome

I have both the team c and the Hobao and I would say the Hobao is faster but the team c is easier to drive and easier to set up.

I also own both and would agree with Adey.
The tc02c is very easy to drive and set up and I've been very quick with it at times but I think the Hobao is quicker if you can set it up and drive it right.

I don't think the set up is as tough as a Durango for example but its defo less forgiving to drive than the TC02C.

The main plus for me is that the Hobao changes direction quicker than the team c so that helps on tight indoors carpet based tracks.

Is a tough call from a driving perspective, but the Hobao wins hands down on value for money, aluminium chassis, aluminium pivot blocks, big bore shocks, mid and rear motor options, gear diff, all superior to the team c and all for 135 quid, now that's awesome!

Cheers for your advice guys - I'm now sold! I have driven the TC02c and found it really forgiving to drive, but I have grown to like the big bores, aluminium chassis and indestructability of the TLR22 has!

Is the H2 more forgiving than the tlr? - as much as I love the tlr I've often struggles to strike a good balance between aggression and forgiving.

I've not driven a 22 so I can't help but Adey has also had one of those so he may be able to help on that. Adey?

In regards to the 22. In my view its clear that the h2 is very similar in pretty much every way. I like the h2's more conventional steering arrangement and I think it has a better motor position. I don't think it's quite as strong as the 22 but look at what you get for the money. I have mine going very well but then again my team c tc02c is going very well also. The h2 well worth a look especially if you are on a budget.
