DHK 8381 OPTIMUS XL 1:8 Scale 4X4 Review - [Unboxing, Inspection, Run/Launch Test!, Pros & Cons]

Enjoy my full and in-depth review of the "Strong as a Tank!" Optimus XL 4X4 Brushless Race Buggy. Get it here: goo.gl/j8u75a
TEMPORARY FLASH SALE: goo.gl/gmNJts
I have honestly never owned a stronger RC car or truck in my 35 years into the sport. This race buggy is going to take a whole lot more than these crazy jumps to break. I would love to race this thing at the track in the 1/8 Scale 4X4 Brushless buggy class!

that was great you can tell the lower centre of gravity and top speed gearing was holding it back on those jumps, transitioning was slightly short compared to that last truck you reviewed but it held up great with the punishment it was taking. great review and it's a thumbs up from me

[@DustinDunnill]

+DAVEEYEINTHESKY Thanks..for a car it flew and crashed very well 😉✌

[@br1ann88]

Your living room looks fun.

[@br1ann88]

Gotta love that candy cane in may! You are so chill.

[@Mrtrc33]

that looks great .brought back some great memories of my RC car days . Optima mid turbo . old school now 😱

[@DustinDunnill]

+johnboygtv yes, it is very similar. Ah the days of getting dirty at the track in the 90's. I miss it too. We need a dirt track built. Closed down here long ago 😕

[@Mrtrc33]

Dustin Dunnill the good old days ha .all about drones now. really want a Mavic .but splash are ment to be bringing out a smaller waterproof drone which looks great .but will it ever come out ?

[@DustinDunnill]

I will be getting one in for review when they release it.

[@derekquinones8614]

Yeah dhk has stepped there game up I have the dhk zombie and I haven't broke one thing or bent anything on it and you should see the way I bash it I'll be uploading videos soon!

[@TonysRcTechboom]

Hi my friend that is one cool car great video great and great review. I'm just wondering how it would be with monster truck fat wheels bigger wheels to give it more ground clearance Plus think it would look cool I think you're the best one to try it keep up the good videos. 😊 I hope my channel is as good as yours one day.

[@JSprayaEntertainment]

DHK cars can only run 36mm wide motors ( that really limits your upgrades ) unless you make a custom motor mount ... jlb j3speed , sabertooth or berserker ... is a much better option ... if you wanna go cheap get a rattler

[@acesonthego2287]

Nice RC bro

[@pradojim2985]

Fastest RC Monster/car id seen so far.

[@georgeaura]

I think that's gonna be my next rc since banggood screwed up and cancelled my order on an rc truck I planned on getting

[@lisocampos8080]

Nice vid. You still need a pop screen for your condenser mic.

[@DustinDunnill]

Think I got it sorted out. Let me know what you think about the sound in my next video released tomorrow 👍

[@aussiedan6639]

I'm running 6s and keep destroying my diff with every run. Is there a way around this while still running 6s

[@scottsyoutubevideos]

loved it.. want one..lol

[@hellorc4354]

Nice car Dustin and just a thought that you could take your rc cars to a local skate board course , you must have a ton of them in Hawaii .

[@DustinDunnill]

+Ted Espin That might be a cool idea ✌

[@hellorc4354]

Glad you liked it

[@ArielsSmartyPants]

Nice :)

[@sathiyasaghi2016]

Izit waterproof??

[@nightmareinaction629]

Do you kbow about any metal spur gear I can't seem to find them

[@jamesbarrett1324]

I race nitro rc cars at my school. They absolutely rip.

[@georgeaura]

Can it handle more than 4s?

[@BIGDRONEFLYER77RC]

wow

[@egirl2903]

Hi i have a question , i am looking of starting playing and getting into rc is this model good for a beginner?

[@DustinDunnill]

+E Girl it can definitely handle a huge amount of abuse and crashing..so in that respect yes good for a beginner if you turn down the throttle power rate until you learn how to drive safely.

[@egirl2903]

Thanks for answer btw love your reviews

[@AlphaMachina]

Where did you buy this from? The one from Monkey Hobby says 80A ESC and no charger comes with it. I see that banggood supplies it with the correct 100A ESC and charger included. I'll get it from there.

[@DustinDunnill]

+Alpha Machina I have the link in video description of where this one came from 👍

[@pradojim2985]

Thats a monster Tho Hahaha, its amazing too.

[@DustinDunnill]

+prado jim 🍻👍

[@pr0t0typeblades95]

In your opinion. Is it worth $313?

[@DustinDunnill]

I think so. For it already being tricked out and so durable 👍

[@nuttyfeelings4358]

No

[@logan4706]

No, go for a Losi or traxxas at that point.

[@zsaxeshed5743]

Totally get one I did they are great,get the zombie tho same car but monster truck form very good bang for buck

[@jamesbarrett1324]

Cool

Swap out those tires for some slicks, tear up some pavement. I love toys that don't break.

[@therchunter7803]

Looks awesome but for £300 they is better on the market..

[@georgeaura]

What's the best basher truck in your opinion?

[@AlphaMachina]

I'd say this would be the best bang for your buck scenario. You really can't get this much aluminum and power for this price anywhere else.

Don't you hate when kids are all over your business when driving these things trust me when I drive my rc they try to run towards them and jump over them even if I tell them to stop so I just leave
