I ordered the Porsche for my son, without him knowing. Delivery was a flippin' pain by Evri ( absolutely useless!!!), but it arrived, and i got him to open it, and he was si excited. Put the batteries in the remote, and soent the next 30 minutes drifting around the table legs of our dining table. He then told me i HAD to order one for me, as he wanted to race!! Hoonicorn on its way. 😆👍🏻

[@CK4RC]

These little guys might just be the best bargain in all of RC right now. I managed to get a Hoonicorn before the price went up, and with the additional decals, I'm all in for under $40 USD. Tough to beat with how good these things look, the amount of features, and the fun factor!

[@LKN117]

They are $40 without stickers now.

[@CK4RC]

@@LKN117 true. still not a terrible price. I probably wouldn’t want to go much more than that though.

[@adam-izer6385]

I bought one of these after seeing it on your AliExpress video. So much fun! Absolutely canes around at work with my big areas. My son loves mine, and because i dont like sharing cool things, i bought him the porche the other day. Can still get them for 22 quid! Best value mini drifter ever.. so far. Cheers Phil, much appreciated.

1/43 scale slot car bodies might lend themselves quite well to these if the wheel base matches.

[@cranklabexplosion-labcentr8245]

I do the same for mini rock crawlers. Imagine these things on a proper slot car track

[@Richardbillig-zn3zc]

The tires can use graphite or glue in thingy diamonds into rubber tires.

3:59 as for the sticker sets, you can buy water slide film for your inkjet printer so you can make your own decals.

[@evanwillard2811]

Great video and these are great little cars i did manage to give it a rear suspension i just put a spring where the screw goes kept it just loose enough so it has working suspension

sickest vehicle in the video by far was that red toyota pickup in the shop. sweet truck dude.

[@juvigoat2168]

these look great! Glad to see this review which was comprehensive. I havent messed with RC cars since i got a bunch of xmods back when radio shack went out of business, for $25. Shows that the 💲 has gone to 💩

[@EvanMoon]

Hoonicorn mustang is based on the original 65 Mustang, which is a lot smaller than any sports car today.

[@snyperal]

I bought one as soon as Aaron showed one on his channel. Outrageous for the price. Quick and quality for less than a takeaway.

[@brentcarter3284]

These also work great on a slot car track. Just add a guide to the bottom and have fun. No need for power to the track.

[@dcmodderful]

Picked up one of these because of this video. The bmw looks like the car from the opening of need for speed carbon. Tore it down and found the front wheels have bearings. Surprising. Secret mode found. Turn on the car and place it on the floor, press the throttle forward (reverse) and turn on the transmitter. Lots of fun.

[@leemiles3995]

Wdym secret mode?

[@dcmodderful]

@@leemiles3995 Just a little fun. It's a run away mode. 😉

[@SS-du7tr]

@@dcmodderful sorry, your explanation is not even a bit more clear 😂

[@EvanDudeGuyClements]

I don't own one of these, but I am guessing that if you press the reverse button before turning the transmitter (per the instructions given in the comment) the car will reverse without pressing any buttons. This gives the impression that the car is "running away" from you.

[@dcmodderful]

@@EvanDudeGuyClements Close. By holding reverse when the transmitter is turned on, and the trigger is released it'll take off forward. A fun little trick if you're handing it off to somebody to try it out. 😂

[@halifiak]

Because of this video, I bought Porsche & Nissan over AliExpress both for SGD 60 including shipping. Great fun!

[@just.jose.youtube]

I have the Porsche, it's beautiful and it's fun! Not super easy to control, but maybe I could use some more practice too. I made it RWD by removing a gear and it just got worse (like expected 😅). Blacked out the inside of the body for less light bleed. You do have to clean them regularly, lint accumulates fast and on such a small scale, it will affect handling and jam and damage stuff quickly.

[@athenovae]

Yea i messed around with RWD at this scale before with the Takara Tomy Initial D ones. You would need a gyro and improve the front wheels so they roll smoothly without getting locked up from friction. It really becomes a whole project. With 3D printers more accessible now, perhaps you can make custom parts and make your own steering rack.

[@just.jose.youtube]

@@athenovae watched your videos, nice drifting! :)

68 Mustangs were 4.66m long, short compared to the other manufacturers cars, the 68 GTO was 5.15m, the 68 Camaro was 4.94m. The Mustang was the tiny one of the group in 68. The R34 is 4.60m. The Hoonicorn was 4.78m. The GR Yaris is 3.995m. Having said that, that RC is smaller than it should be.

[@Marktravis356]

My mustang one of these did exactly the same thing, hit a joint in the wooden floor and suddenly stopped , the rear axle moved sideways and locked the crown wheel into the pinion . Moved the wheels out a bit and it freed up again .

[@bryanbercier6225]

Did you have to take it apart to unlock the wheels?

[@playanddisplay3636]

Phil great video and for reference from a Yank, the 64.5-66 Mustangs like the Honnicorn was based on were about the size of a Sierra Cosworth. Mustangs were very small until 1969 and became small again in 1974.

[@SergeyPRKL]

Exactly, the Porsche is bigger. Or, more like same size. I think they all are about the same size in real life.

[@playanddisplay3636]

@@SergeyPRKL Yeah you would really be splitting hairs over which one is biggest, widest, etc... But I was surprised by just how big the last 911 I saw at the track was.

[@michaeldorich4485]

The cars look great and appear to be a lot of fun. When you took a shot of the front of the Porsche it looks like it's smiling. This a very detailed and well done video.

[@athenovae]

If Radio Master has a 4in1 module for their surface radio, you could program rates and expo. That’d be so cool.

[@shizzydeep6867]

On the carpet I'd like to see rubber tires on the front and plastic on the rear.

[@Robert-bv1qs]

Yo Tom, it would be cool if you could give the porsche another go, but try putting the rubber wheels on the rear and the plastic ones in the front, perhaps the rubber on the rear would prevent the tail spin, at the same time the plastic on the front might make the steering weird. Worth a shot tho, then for the fun of it since its all locked, try putting rubber on the left rear, plastic on the right front, rubber on the left front and plastic on the left rear. Perhaps doing it that way since its all locked would make the handling fun.

[@SpiritualAscentOfficial]

im gonna order one of these here soon i thought of doing a crazy idea by buying a 1:43 scale diecast and some 1:43 scale wheels and seeing if i can modify it visually.

[@michaelcrutchfield6773]

Could you imagine the fun of a indoor stadium truck version!!! Or rwd rally cars ha these look like good times.

[@Davespackey]

Rwd rally cars sound horrible.. these are already tail happy 4wd. Not much room for suspension..

[@daszieher]

Last night I passed an old Mustang on the highway. It was surprisingly small. "Felt" smaller than my E46 (although I wasn't sitting in it at the time).

[@Munkee907]

Love the tiny RCs, so easy to set up tracks for them. When I get one I'm going to try it stock then probably swap for a radiolink transmitter for the gyro and better settings.

[@Mini-z1994]

They do run surprisingly well, i bet they could do a great little Kyosho dnano revival with these making a little rwd one with a proper diff in the rear to reduce the wheel hop while turning.

[@TomleyRC]

That would be cool

[@binarumah]

Dude, you're living in a dream. Watching your RC rack 😁

I bet you could tune the balance with a motorcycle wheel weight under the body, maybe the extra weight would make it drift better! - cool little cars.

I love that M3 GTR from NFSMW, definitely going to buy it since its my dream car :)

[@Idontdohandles]

I think you might have overlooked front suspension? That lock up also happened to my R34 after catching air and i thought it was trashed, i fully dissaembled and re-assembled the diffs, and then slid it back and forth a WHOLE bunch by hand faster and faster as it smoothed out more and more, to smooth it back out and its 100% FINE now. Start by trying to gently just worked the car back and forth on a good traction surface with the rubber tires, until it breaks free, then work into more from there. Or You might just have a tiny bit of debris in one of the diffs or need to smooth out the plastic teeth to mesh well together again. But don't throw em away on lock-up -- you can work them free and drive again fine i am noticing. Also both R34 and Pocshe I got came with tiny spring-loaded front friction suspension - IFS. I have the R34 and the Porsche... paid $22 !! These cars really are very good. I drive dNano's and have upgraded an R35 and R34 dNano to big block coreless motors and these aren't quite as fast top speed but they are darn near as close and handle almost better because they are AWD and the dNano are RWD. But still, dNano's cost $300 or more if you can still find them. For $25....... WOW!! I was blown away! FWIW i found both cars to be much better on the rubber tires -- or alot more fun anyways. They still slide a bit they are that powerful and fast on a smooth garge floor with big open space you can get crazy top speed for how tiny they are, almost uncontrollable unless you've got a 30ft stretch on the full 100% top speed on rubber tires.

[@Levibetz]

The Porsche is probably spinny because it has larger rear wheels, causing it to have a rear torque bias. The rear axle is always trying to overdrive the fronts (assuming the 4wd is 1:1 front/rear in ratio).
