[CHEAP] RC Crawler with a lot of potential! HB Toys ZP1003 ZP1004

So those that remember the TRX4 Clone/ Lookalike I reviewed last year will notice this is the same truck, just a different body (HB Toys ZP1003 ZP1004). Out the box it is not the best, however it has plenty of power and if you upgrades the shocks, it makes a massive difference! Links Below.

She did pretty well for being stock. Definitely needs a proper set of oil shocks!

[@RCModSquad]

Like you said it’s a bit bouncy but an easy fix. Cool steering mod and a great bit of driving in the mud. 💯👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@stinkyrainbow653]

This Beast seems to perfect to get a 4 y.o. into this hobby. I remember my first toy grade RC back in the 80's. A Mercedes Zender (maybe Dickie?) powered by I believe 6 AAs. Runtime less than 20 mins. 😂

[@MrsRabbit8]

I think that's a great option, I've been wondering what to get my 4yr old, really hoping that I can get her into RC crawling so that we can go to some cool locations and events. Now is she gonna want Elsa blue, or some shade of pink.. it worked on the used (cheap) powerwheel I painted for xmas! Lol

[@rudyjunior8425]

i realize it's pretty off topic but do anybody know a good site to watch new movies online ?

[@ezrajoe5413]

@Rudy Junior Meh lately i have been using Flixportal. Just google for it :P -ezra

[@rudyjunior8425]

@Ezra Joe thanks, signed up and it seems like they got a lot of movies there :) I appreciate it!!

[@ezrajoe5413]

@Rudy Junior happy to help :)

[@KoreaRCFilm]

Awesome run

[@DanSavine]

A clone of a gmade komodo body , had that as my first crawler a couple years back great looking truck

[@TonysRcTechboom]

Fantastic unboxing and info as always Phil. Am thinking the body should fit on my ZP1001. I do like that Body. Fantastic Test Run and as we know after the Mods it will be A OK 👍👍 Great video mate as always 👍😁👍

[@TomleyRC]

Cheers Tony. Body should fit, but you'll need the rear body posts... give it a month or 2 and they may start stocking the body as an option. I think I'll paint the grill and roof rack black though, and change the wheels

[@thedumpydustman6088]

Cool little starter truck for kids or beginners I think. Liking the style bit of detailing and be a very good looking little truck!

[@philliplyn2692]

Loving this one thanks for sharing very important information giving thanks blessed love to all knowledge is power hopefully everyone pays attention keep up the good work 🙏🙏🙏🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲💪💪💪

[@q8venom]

good thing is it doesn't need an extra sound system!

[@TomleyRC]

haha

[@Del350K4]

It´s interesting to observe the different ways in which manufacturers respond to user feedback. At one end of the spectrum we see companies such as WPL instantly upgrading their drivetrains, wheels, tyres, body detailing etc, and at the other end we see firms like HB Toys. For no more cost than sending you a free Defender they got a concise, well-reasoned list of improvements to make which would increase the play value of their product at a minimal cost to them. Strangely, rather than modifying a couple of steering components, sending a memo asking that the lowermost hole be used on the servo horn and fitting oil shocks (probably 4 or 5 dollars a set when bought in bulk within China) they choose to slash the retail price by nearly 30%, which is a far greater cost to them than simply sorting out the truck´s problems. I just don´t see how this business model appeals to them, especially when they can see the benefits being reaped by WPL from their policy of responding positively to feedback. That said, this truck´s now even more of a bargain - spend a few minutes and a few dollars on it and you´ll get a competent and reliable scale crawler for a superb price...

[@TomleyRC]

I honestly don't know who some of these companies they in their 'development' departments! I'm going to do so free lance work I think....$$$$$$$$$$

[@brianargo9306]

Sounds like something is loose not rubbing. I could be wrong though. It's a cool little truck. I would like to see it crawl on a good rock course. Does it not sound like the mesh on gears r grinding?

[@TomleyRC]

Tyre definitely rubbing on the body. The gearboxes on these are a bit noisy as well

[@KruseNStuff]

Nice video my man. KEEP UP the GREAT work.🔥🤜🤛🔥💯🔥

[@holkerholker7920]

I think that I will save up for one of these with my pocket money as it doesn't look too bad

[@juanrascon7743]

I'm very ignorant on Rc are there readily available parts for this truck I really want one but I dont have the BIG MONEY to spend and this one might fit the bill!

[@TomleyRC]

Yes, you can get parts. Banggood have axles, driveshafts, gearbox etc... and I expect Aliexpress will have more stuff

[@dangrady2938]

How far you’ve come since the shed

[@camrowdrone6497]

Splash proof, more like water proof 👍🏻

[@muddinco7289]

What you can do to quiet the drive train is take it all apart and put sum sort of lube or some patrolum jelly

Hey Tomley, where can you get the swing arm bushings for wltoys 144004 . They're starting to tear and break down from the pins being bent out, cheers!

Hi, what do you think makes that angry noise/sound? Is that engine or ESC? Thanks ;-)

[@Vok250]

These still aren't available within Canada or shipping to Canada. Maybe due to Covid-19. :(

[@TomleyRC]

Possibly... the UK are still letting most/all stuff in to the country

[@yendra_efendi]

a very tough car, shabt ... is that expensive?

[@TomleyRC]

No, pretty cheap

[@rccarcontent9508]

Do you know the oil shocks you put in the description are they the correct ones to put on this

[@trailallday9136]

Hi, are there any big differences between ZP1001 and ZP1003?

[@rcgarageph7228]

Why that thing is cheaper than the hz p1001 defender the parts are the same except the body

[@TomleyRC]

Yes, no different other than the body

[@ChiefRickyRC]

Possible to put on 1/10 lmt grave digger tires??

[@minnoweyesrc30]

What is the wheel base on the truck?

[@gabrielpichardo1492]

People need to stop calling these types of trucks "crawlers" these are Trail Trucks or scale trail rigs. Crawlers are far more capable and look very different

Is the HB Defender better than this?

Or does this perform better
