[@IowaBudgetRCBashers]

Not gonna lie I want one of these. They look like an early 70’s international pickup and I love that..

[@RDsRCReviews]

Absolutely! It is a great looking truck and it performs well. The price isn't too bad either!

[@IowaBudgetRCBashers]

@@RDsRCReviews we recently reviewed the upgraded vanguard, and that’s a fun truck, I’d imagine this one being the same platform but brushless is even better. I’ve got a 63 corvette body from an 80’s wire controlled RC that I’m gonna mount on the vanguard, make “monster stingray “ 😁

This is a really nice truck Ryan and you have found a good place to test your cars and truck at. I always just run the stock battery because I don't want to ruin the esc as well.

[@RDsRCReviews]

yeah that's how I generally am as well Greg. Yes, I'm going to return to the skatepark a lot more in the future. Thanks!!!

[@andrew4403]

I got to say that's a really nice looking truck. I like the stance that it has. Looks mean😊😊

[@RDsRCReviews]

Yeah I love it too. It's really great for the price. Thanks for watching and commenting!!

[@BangForYourBuckRc]

First off Ryan, I absolutely love your intro for this video! The effects on your channel banner were terrific too! The vividness and clarity of your camera is top notch! I could tell you were having fun with this truck! It’s definitely a keeper. It will wheelie in dry grass and if you have a high capacity 2s upwards of 40c I’m finding out. The provided battery does have quite enough punch. That jump you slow mo’d was impressive ! Really glad this rc had the same effect on you as it did me! Awesome awesome awesome video bud.

[@RDsRCReviews]

thanks so much for all the kind words Robby! I was worried that he intro didn't turn out well. I have slowly invested in better equipment over the years (lights, DSLR, Osmo Action, mics) so I'm glad to see it is appreciated!!! Yes, the truck was so much fun!

I already put a 120 amp hobbywing ESC in mine I ditched the 3800 KV motor and I got 4700 KV motor on the way and this is the first truck that I've had where I think I'm going to keep the body as is awesome video bro

[@RDsRCReviews]

Those sound like awesome upgrades! Thanks for the info!

[@kendrickcontent]

Update on that build?

[@loganfriday5512]

Could you share a link with the motor and esc. Can that 120a esc take a 3s LiPo?

[@zipzip8239]

ive been putting off getting into RC again the past few yrs due to even the cheap brushless being over $200 and not seeming that durable. this looks like a good time to get back into it. quick enough for me and seems pretty durable.

[@RDsRCReviews]

I hear ya plus a lot of the Chinese RC are brushless and well under $200. The HBX stuff is great too for the price. HBX is my favorite of the Chinese imports and their spare parts are everywhere. You can purchase this using the link in the video description from Amazon

[@zipzip8239]

@@RDsRCReviews have you checked out the hosim x07? rek rc has an insane durability test on his channel at a skatepark and it goes 47mph for $170. i'm jealous of kids today lol.

[@andrew4403]

You ought to try to and get one of those MJX hyper goes. The new 14209 or the 14210 they're cheap and they are very durable and fast You will not regret it at all.😊😊 And then the truck version the 14301 and 14302 they're very fast and very very durable. They're on sale right now pick yourself one of them up You won't be disappointed with them either. They even have gyros on them.

This thing is popping up out of nowhere I should have did a video 3 weeks ago when I first bought one 😂

Really nice video! HBX is awesome! New sub.

[@RDsRCReviews]

I agree! I love HBX! Welcome to the channel!!

[@zoridor16]

With 25 or 26 mph for this car I am very happy! Do you think that the car's electronics, the differentials and chassis, can withstand 24-25 mph for about 25 cycles of use with a 2s lipo battery? greetings friend 

[@RDsRCReviews]

@@zoridor16 sure it can. No problems at all

[@zoridor16]

[@brandonr0613]

The Haiboxing official website says it is not S3 compatible. Use 7.4V 2S batteries only. Max speed 23 mph (38 km/h)

[@dinglebarrybonds]

this is my RC car i use a few times a week to exercise my dog. It's tough. Do you have a favorite wheel replacement?

[@RDsRCReviews]

I've not replaced the wheels so I can't help you there but I do have some wheels from RCAWD that I might try if they fit

[@mzmhrc1274]

This hbx model has long wheel base compare to most 1/16 or other brands 1/12 scale model for example hosim 9155 or 9156 which has too short wheel base. so i think it will fix and can handle well if you try put 110mm or 120mm tyres on that.

[@rikyo2]

Hello! Nice video! Im thinking to buy 2 of thes to me and my son,can you recomend better batterys for the truck?! THX!

[@RDsRCReviews]

Do you mean larger batteries? Any that will fit all work but stick with 2s. There is a purchase link to the truck on Amazon in the video description. If you don't mind using that link it'll greatly help my channel. Thanks so much!

Hey Ryan. Can you run this truck in the snow? Any recommendations? Thank you!

[@RDsRCReviews]

Sure you can! I've never had an issue with any RC and snow.

[@andrew4403]

You said there was standing water up there I never saw water with legs😂😂😂

[@johnellefa]

That chassis also looks like the Hosim X07, X03 and the flyhal ofc Unless in just going crazy

[@RDsRCReviews]

Hosim rebrands other rc stuff so that's very possible

[@ReadytoRunRC]

Awesome little truck that can take some abuse. Wonder what speed you’ll get out of it on your speed test. Nice review and little bash with it.

[@RDsRCReviews]

Thanks and I am curious if it comes close to the advertised speeds.

[@ReadytoRunRC]

@@RDsRCReviews usually they’re pretty far fetched on their speed claims. Some do get close though.

[@RDsRCReviews]

@@ReadytoRunRC yes, most are exaggerated

[@patmarcus172]

I have the near identical 901a and it does about 25mph on 2S but you can turn the motor mount round and it’s pre drilled for a 14t. That gets you 30 mph on 2S. 35mph on 3s but it’s an uncontrollable mess whereas 2S/14t is perfect. I’d expect the 903a to be identical

[@myztic_3887]

Do you think you can put the body of the hbx 903 brushed version on the 903a brushless version?

[@RDsRCReviews]

Yes you absolutely can. I prefer the 903a old school truck body much more though.

[@myztic_3887]

@@RDsRCReviewshey man sorry for bothering you again but I was wondering, what is the best 150 budget lithium ion powered RC car because I saw that lipo batteries need more care and need more safety precautions and I just wanted to be a little more cautious😅.

[@RDsRCReviews]

@@myztic_3887 that's a tough call. You can just buy a lion battery and use it in any of these cars. Even better just buy a decent hobby grade charger for $30 and don't worry about it. Just be sure to put the batteries at storage voltage when they are going to sit for a long time. I would get the 903a or one of the MJX HyperGo's. Hosim, Bezgar & Deerc all have rebranded versions of the HyperGo's. I'm going to post the review of the Deerc version (H16E) later today

[@DannyCotton]

What charger would you recommend as an upgrade for this? Bonus if it works on the Haiboxing hailstorm as well that I just got for my kids.

[@RDsRCReviews]

Really any charger is going to be better. The IMAX B6 clones are fine. There are so many quality chargers. You can pick up the Imax clones on Amazon for not much or for a little more you can get an authentic SkyRC Imax B6.

@@RDsRCReviews Awesome, thanks! I will check it out. Love the video. Can't wait for mine to get here.

@@DannyCotton awesome!!

[@DannyCotton]

@@RDsRCReviews Got my 903a in and it is really fun! Ended up getting the SkyRC charger so thanks again. I'm new to RC and learning a lot from your videos. Random question but do you know what would cause a car to drive full speed in reverse by itself during a session? My son has the Haiboxing hailstorm (18858) and it has done that a few times and it won't stop until we catch it and turn it off. Hoping not to have to deal with returning it.

[@RDsRCReviews]

@@DannyCotton that is strange. Sounds like the controller may be sticking. Also check that the controller's batteries are good. I once had bad batteries do something similar to me.

[@jparker1823]

Anyone know if the diffs are o ring sealed? Wondering if I need to pickup diff oil or grease. Thanks.

[@RDsRCReviews]

No clue but it wouldn't hurt to grease the diffs no matter what

[@jparker1823]

@RDsRCReviews I opened everything up and it's well greased from the factory. Diffs aren't sealed, so I'll be sticking with grease. Thanks.

[@jparker1823]

Looks like it could use some thicker oil in the shocks for that skate park environment, otherwise it's really a RTR truck out of the box. I will be picking one up.

[@RDsRCReviews]

Yeah you're likely right! Purchase link is in the video description! Thanks for watching!

[@williamperri3437]

@@RDsRCReviews Any upgrades needed? I'm pretty sure when I get this I'm going to be slinging it at least 6 to 10 ft in the air at the skatepark! The thing is I will have it landing on all four 90% of the time so it really comes down to how good the shocks, tires and servo are.

[@RDsRCReviews]

@@williamperri3437 as soon as aluminum upgrade parts are available I would get them. I'm going to as soon as I see them. As you can see I had no issues with mine at the skate park but I did break a shock on my 16890a recently at the skate park because it gets more air than the 903A due to its small size so I just upgraded its parts to aluminium and replaced the shocks. The 903A shocks could use some more oil so I plan to add more to my shocks soon. They come maybe half to 2/3rds full so the shocks are a bit too soft and don't fully recover and tend to sag.
