Blackzon Slyder Electric RC Stadium Truck | Radio Control Up Close

[@DeanoBigWednesday]

Great video, really helpful thanks, now decided to buy one for my sons xmas pressie

[@DavidRodriguez-bv8nh]

Love mines, got it for 89 at my local hobby store, I recommend getting a extra battery!

[@johnunderwood3140]

Love mine, its taken a beating. Great size for backyard or driveway. Battery life is good but you will want to keep playing with this so recommend spare. If buying for kids best be getting one for Dad too or they wont get a turn lol

[@AnthonyNobel]

Hey thank you for the Review. Good Work!!!

[@andreagiuseppefrey1983]

Can I put the truggy body on the monster truck? My son wants to change the body?

[@zarccarsandothertoys.572]

Hallo friends, this is the Australian version of the HBX 16889 or HBX 16889A

[@duncannicol]

Hi. Great review. Question. Car you run more than one at the same time without the controllers conflicting?

[@MetroHobbiesAus]

You sure can! You just have to make sure you turn on only one car and one controller at a time to pair them. Then turn on the second car and the second controller to pair and you shouldn't have an issue.

[@michaelpearce4632]

Great review! Are the tyres interchangeable? Could you swap the monster truck tyres for the stadium truck tryes?

[@MetroHobbiesAus]

Hi Michael, Tyres for monster truck and stadium truck are exactly the same so certainly interchangeable between the models :)

[@japyoo2248]

Is the ftx tracer the same?

[@Lorijenken]

I just bought one week ago there pretty zippy and last about 20min full speed does about 20-25mph really fun starter RC

[@Lilhuddy12]

How long do the cars last on one charge

[@MetroHobbiesAus]

Hi Hudson, Roughly 10 minutes :)

Does the headlights reduce battery time much ?

[@MetroHobbiesAus]

The voltage used by the LED lights is minimal and will make an immaterial difference in run time.

[@swisswildpicsswp3095]

Should I buy the Slyder or the Warrior? Which one would you recommend?

[@MetroHobbiesAus]

Hi there! It really just depends on what look and size you are going for. The warrior is a little larger at 1/12 scale than the Slyder at 1/16 scale. There are more options for colours and styles in the Slyder. They are otherwise both fantastic cars and you can't go wrong with either :)

[@somersetreefer1168]

Can you fit the wing to the MT?

[@MetroHobbiesAus]

Hi there! You could, although you would need part numbers BZ540048 and BZ540072 (Wing, and mounting screws). The wing is not designed to work with the MT body, it would need to be cut to make room for the wing.

[@thephascogaleproject1919]

What is difference between Slayer and Slyder?

[@Lorijenken]

nothing there same thing one looks like sprint car the other is more of a truck, both have same specs speed and weights.

[@japyoo2248]

Is this the regular or turbo

[@MetroHobbiesAus]

Hey japyoo2248! The one showcased will be regular, as the turbo models are a newer version :)

[@simonwood8637]

Does the speed-limit function purely limit top speed, OR does it modify the throttle response curve to give softer acceleration?

[@MetroHobbiesAus]

Hi Simon, The speed limit function doesn't change acceleration/throttle response -just limits top speed

[@simonwood8637]

@@MetroHobbiesAus I've gotta say, you guys are awesome - I've always had positive experiences with every shop visit and your online presence is great too! Thanks - I'll always recommend your company.

[@simonwood8637]

@@MetroHobbiesAus interestingly however, I've had different answers to this question, both from other MH staff, and from a friend who owns one. But I guess it is something subtle. I'll find out soon enough! (Bought one for my son's birthday - from MetroHobbies) Thanks!

[@simonwood8637]

@@MetroHobbiesAus well after owning this one for a few weeks, I can say it DOES (somehow, whether directly or indirectly), affect the throttle curve. It isn't profoundly different but it's still 100% noticeable - with the "top speed limiter" turned to minimum, the whole acceleration curve is softer - much easier to learn for my little guy. @metrohobbies - can you please correct me if I'm wrong? Maybe grab one out and test it and tell me what I'm experiencing if it isn't throttle curve changes? Because it sure feels like it.

Aussie rc!!

[@bharattripathi7179]

does this car have a dedicated servo for steering

[@MetroHobbiesAus]

Hi Bharat. The car does have a dedicated servo for steering. Drive on!

[@froyoaspect]

What will be the cm for the car?

[@MetroHobbiesAus]

Hi there, dimensions are as follows. It's a great little car! Length: 270mm Width: 215mm Height: 130mm Wheelbase: 175mm

[@damelbournetrainspotter8481]

Question: I got mine and i usually use my laptop to charge it up however i do have a power brick that i want to charge it with, whenever i am charging with the power brick the charger gets a bit hot, should i still be charging with the power brick?

[@MetroHobbiesAus]

If it is getting hot, best not to use the power brick, stick with your laptop :)

[@simonwood8637]

Or use a 5V 2A supply. Your power brick is probably trying to push out more, and your laptop probably isn't outputting enough?

[@thecaptain3068]

Hi, My charger flashes green with a red light staying on constantly. It has been flashing for 4 hours now. It is plugged into my computer ? is this normal ? thanks

[@MetroHobbiesAus]

Hi The Captain, that doesn't sound right, the battery shouldn't take four hours to charge, usually it will flash until it is fully charged then be a solid light. Best to reach out to us directly at [e-mail] if you haven't already and we will see what we can do to resolve this for you.

[@magicgsuk6312]

What is run time of battery’s on full charge?

[@MetroHobbiesAus]

Thanks for your comment! The run time is approximately 15 minutes, which does vary according to the speed at which you're running the Slyder and the terrain on which you're running it.

[@wildlifeecology]

Battery life?

[@MetroHobbiesAus]

You are looking at 8-10 minutes :)

[@_bjarki2345]

How do i calibrate the throttle

[@Lorijenken]

on the remote there are 2 turn knobs one is for trim the other is for speed (left slow right fast)

[@raimondsozolinsh9665]

Is shocks And wheels upgradable?

[@MetroHobbiesAus]

Hi there, at this stage there are no stock shock or wheel upgrades for this model. It is a popular little car so hopefully this is something that the manufacturer will investigate in future!

[@chrisloweth5095]

Please please do not plug the USB charger into a PC USB port. Computer USB ports only provide 500mA of current. The USB charger has a sticker that states the input requirements are 5V 2A!! You will NEED an old phone or other charger that can output 5V and AT LEAST 2A. The 5V is important and vital your chosen old phone charger outputs at this voltage. Your chosen phone charger sound provide AT LEAST 2A of current. It can provide more as the charger will take what it needs, however it must be at least 2A otherwise you risk the charger overheating.

[@simonwood8637]

I wondered about that too. I appreciate battery health practices / trickle charge, but if the inverter is expecting 2,000mA then that's what its been engineered to operate optimally at, right?

[@scottwilliams9475]

Hi, having an issue turning on my sons car after a couple of uses Batteries all fine and cannot see anything obvious Once I press the on/off switch the front lamps flash but then nothing Any advice would be greatly received Thanks

[@MetroHobbiesAus]

We're so sorry to hear that! We would recommend turning the car on first, then the radio. If the car is still having issues, it sounds as though there may be an issue with either the receiver or the radio. You're welcome to reach out to us directly and we can look into repair or warranty options for you. support.metrohobbies.com.au/support/tickets/new

[@sammy61187]

Definitely needs a bigger battery

[@MetroHobbiesAus]

As much as we would love to help out, unfortunately we don't have any battery upgrades on hand for this vehicle due to the size of the battery tray. To extend the run time it might be best to stock up on spare batteries to swap out and therefore extend the run time.

[@johnslobodniuk8729]

for 130 bucks there isn't a better car you can buy for kids. absolutely unreal. get a 2nd battery...will be worth it.

[@teslaedison6236]

I bought a HyperGo truck for $120 that blows this Slyder away. It's built so much better than the Slyder. Tons of steel parts on it and a brushless motor. HyperGo trucks are amazing deal
