Hosim Power, Hosim Speed, Hosim Tough, Hosim Fun !!!

[@fogcityrc4874]

Fun stuff for sure

[@dannysdailys]

Two years has gone by? Wow.The X07 can do a hard wheelie against the wheelie bar from a standstill on the grass. Stock with its original batteries. I have an all metal fully custom Redcat Volcano and do you know what it took to get that to do it? Try 11.1, 120amp ESC and a 4-pole 4900kv racing motor. The X07 is very impressive. and turned me into a Hosim fan boy. The only thing the X07 needs is a gyro. Out of the box, it handles like a monster truck which makes it really tough to straight line on pavement and the gyro fixes it right up. Stand alone gyros are dirt cheap on Amazon. And Amazon has a whole parts page for this truck now. And it's still 199 bucks.

This grade of RC has seen a lot of technology come it’s way in the last couple of years. Far cry from the ‘toy’ grade we used to know. Great unboxing and review bro

[@fogcityrc4874]

I totally agree. And thanks Mark

[@jeffrenman4146]

@@fogcityrc4874 I own the car and it is toy grade… All the linkages bull nonadjustable garbage the electronics are the worst crap you can imagine. The motor overheats it will melt and good luck you can't do anything to this car nothing it is what it is and that is toy grade… You can't even change a pinion… Don't watch the height these guys are paid to make the car look good

[@enricorussel2264]

​@@jeffrenman4146 there are a few level of hobby grade men don't so serious. Don't compare it with high end grade rc or pro kit they are absolutely far better quality. Just i agree if you saying that this hosim brand is a little bit over price. Hsp brand quality are way better than this and more cheaper.

It reminds me of my Red Cat TRMT10E. Another fine truck and parts aren't an issue.

[@fogcityrc4874]

Yeah parts support is key.

[@dannysdailys]

@@fogcityrc4874 And two years later I'm now wrong, it's been cancelled and so has parts support. First they switched it's name to the RCMT10E when they ditched the Team Redcat name and now it's gone. I run my X07.

I bet you've had problems by now I'm sorry I own one as well and I want to get rid of it… It's not hobby grade it's toy grade. Well you must already know. I don't think it was worth the money.

Evaporative Powder Metallurgy gears. Huh? Turns out it's a process where metal dust is compressed and heated up. It makes the part stronger than the steel it's made out of because of it's uniform density. When you do this to aluminum, it takes that soft metal and makes it so strong you can make car suspensions out of it. Real cars. Evaporative means it started out as a melted liquid and streams of high pressure air were blown through it turning it into dust. As a result, pure dust with no contaminates. it's considered green (naturally) because you can always turn metal back into dust so it makes it recyclable. It has a whole list of advantages to casting or forging. They fill a mold with pure metal dust and heat it to just below the melting point and just as it's melting they compress it. Compressing it comes from the aluminum industry and it takes all the graining and puddling out to eliminate any cracks, weaknesses, air bubbles, or voids in the part. It's a recognized process and has been around almost 100 years. It's used in pieces up to 6 1/2 tons, all the way down to car engine rods. So it's really strong stuff. Typically an industrialized process. I wondered about it to, so I looked it up. And in these little cars, the gears should be plenty strong depending on what the dust is made out of. I would imagine. I understand the RC industry is now adding Cadmium dust. I don't know what that's supposed to do. But I believe it makes it even stronger. While I'm in the "who cares" camp, I thought it was interesting and you asked; so I posted it.

The pair of 2600's come with a parallel adapter so you can plug them in together which adds up to 5200mAh. She'll already slam the wheelie bar from a standstill on grass. It doesn't need anymore kick.

Powered Metal. Means that it is coated with metal or it can mean anodized metal.

I have this same car I’ve had it about 2 weeks. It hasn’t been used very much and yesterday I decided to charge the batteries and when I paired it with my remote the steering doesn’t work. Nothing at all so you have any ideas? I’ve reset it and still doesn’t work.

It comes with two 2600 batteries with a parallel adapter that will combine them to a 5200. Which give you an hour of use at a time. You don't need any other batteries.

Very disappointed it was cheap thank God this truggy is so small its not a true 1/10 it's more like a 1/16 American scale . It's slow as heck battery compartment is so small . This thing could fit in a Maxx 1/10 bed of it. Thumbs down I will never buy anything from Hosim again there a joke

[@dannysdailys]

American scale? What is that? You mean Redcat scale and they're Taiwanese. Traxxas is also small compared to Redcat.

[@jeffrenman4146]

I was being cheap and bought one of these they look great but they drive like crap can even go in a straight line they will spin out trash and you can even set them up because the tie rods are fake there's no adjustments. The motor overheats like crazy everything about this car if you could build something wrong it's been done. Yeah I said it looks great but you will end up hating it I was lucky I could return my. All the cheap Chinese cars you will feel this way trust me. These content creators there like leading you to the slaughter just because they get paid for it. Don't buy the car just never ever buy Chinese garbage everything you hear positive is a lie except they look good… Just do not drive it

[@dannysdailys]

And how old is the user? My tie rods are full adjustable and you only need a strong pin to adjust them.

[@jeffrenman4146]

​@@dannysdailys The car is the poorest quality. If you can get your money back but if you can't then in a while will find out you pay for what you get… I ended up getting a Traxxas brushless rustler. The difference is day and night. Yeah the cost way more money but at least it's a Nice design and quality

[@dannysdailys]

@@jeffrenman4146 Except that you've already lied about it. Or was too lazy to learn about it. Either way, I'm not interested in what you have to say about anything at this point. The hole in the tie rod? That's for the screwdriver they sent you to poke through and spin it. HELLO? One thing I've learned in my life is liars lie about everything. I don't even believe you have a Traxxas, and what is a Rustler? 10 year old tech? And I'll recommend Taiwanese Hobbywing any day over Chinese Castle. No, Hosim is not poor quality. Especially for the price. If you're out to destroy your RC, you will, no matter what brand it is. Including a Traxxas. So don't cry about it. Hosim is no worse than cars that cost much more. And you should have a gyro in it. It's a monster truck and isn't going to handle like a sports car. Did you try an alignment? Do you even know HOW to align one? No Monster truck will handle like a sports car, they don't have street tires; like DUH. You should have a gyro in anything you own that goes fast no matter the brand. They're under 20 dollars at Amazon. You'll pay 200 dollars for the car, but are too cheap to spend the 20 bucks to make it pavement friendly. I would tell you a monster truck isn't supposed to even be on the pavement at all. Something tells me you say these kind of things about a lot of things. Or you work for Redcat. or Traxxas which is more likely. They might lie about the competition. Or you're just an irresponsible fool who blames everyone for all your problems, which are plenty. Which is it? I've been in this racket for over 30 years and have 18 Redcats, and almost all of them have gyro's in them. And I'm running my X07, with a gyro. No problems so far. I have a Team Redcat TRMT10E and it's one of the best bashers ever made by anybody and I run my X07. And I don't beat on it. And quite frankly, I don't care what you do. Just Amazon alone, sells over 100 of these every month. And they've only been in business 8 years. They can't have old tech. The Redcat Volcano is older than Hosim and is just as junk as they were 8 years ago. Put one of those on 3s and watch it self destruct. The Ground Pounder hasn't had an upgrade since it came out. And that's what you're going to find with all the big brands.
