THEY FIXED IT! Hosim 1:8 X25 RC truck

[@BargainBashersRc]

Nice review! I do think hosim has some good rc’s!

[@RoadsideRC]

They really are better than most people give them credit for.

[@TrishArmes-s8e]

We have 4 hosims. A couple of them got messed up in the hurricane. My husband has been wanting this one. I was gonna try and get it for him when we get done with the clean up and our place is fixxed. Love the videos ty😊

[@RoadsideRC]

Awesome! I hope he will like it when you get it for him!

[@TrishArmes-s8e]

@RoadsideRC yeah where getting things back together. He likes building crawlers and upgrading bashers. I've tried to get him to do a KZbin channel but he says he's to ugly for that and it's to complicated to figure it all out..lol witch is bull. His friends and a few other people have been helping him getting things back together and I think me getting him a big basher will be the icing on everything. The rc community is so awesome.

[@mikescherrer4923]

Better than a Traxxas Jato.

[@RoadsideRC]

It might be - and A LOT cheaper!

[@ParkflyersRC]

PURE JUNK ....Chinease crap

[@10thscaleperformance]

Man im glad to see this video! Mine is on the way!

[@RoadsideRC]

Awesome! Hope you enjoy it!

[@fuse557]

Love how hard you drove it! Definitely worth the money. But I have the new Arrma Typhon pre ordered.

[@RoadsideRC]

The Typhon is a much better choice in my opinion! One of the best RCs on the market!

[@Xandro_B20]

Great review Troy. One thing though the link on the description shows a different truck 1:10 brushed unit.

[@RoadsideRC]

I do apologize for that. KZbin has a stupid new feature where they automatically search the web and place links on videos. Guess what? 99% of the time the link is WRONG. I have attempted to turn it off multiple times, and yet it somehow keeps getting auto-turned back on.

[@thomasblair7996]

Great video, it took all the punishment great ,think it'll be one to last ,looks nice also!!!

[@RoadsideRC]

Yes sir! Thank you - as always!

[@RuffPlugger]

new sub. excellent review i might have to go for this

[@RoadsideRC]

Thanks! If you do - I hope you have fun with it!

[@smallfry1463]

I’d go as far as to say not even a 1/10 scale. More like a 1/11 I thought at first you were just a literal giant dude. But using the screwdrivers in the background for size reference you can tell it’s fairly small. Still a cool budget option if parts are easy to get. Thanks for the review! And is that the gear mesh off or is it the diffs screaming like that?

[@RoadsideRC]

It is a solid 1:10, maybe even slightly large. But - of course scale is always hard to truly judge. The screaming you hear is the tires. They balloon and squeal and/or rub the body.

[@RC4us]

i agree very small and nothing is a 1/8th scale not wheels, electronics, chassis nothing... if this is 1/8th whats a 4s kraton 1/5th

[@10thscaleperformance]

New sub here as well! Great channel

[@RoadsideRC]

Thank you!

[@billyb5057]

good review looks the business your hard test didnt break it so all good *🌞have a cool weekend🔆👍like☑full view✅🥸Au🦘*

[@peterGriffin-ug7jv]

Its not a 8scale diffs have no oil in them ect

[@RoadsideRC]

Scale is difficult - I do agree this is on the smaller side for claiming that scale. Still, it is a lot of fun. The kids in the neighborhood have been having a blast with it - and it has held up to all of their abuse.

[@smallfry1463]

That is the smallest 1/8 scale I’ve ever seen.

[@RoadsideRC]

Yes - scale is tough to define cleanly...but this does seem like a large-ish 1:10.

[@EJ-74]

Scale comes from the original full size model you’re replicating so it comes down to what size truck they are replicating? Now in the RC world if you put 1/8 on the box it should be a fricn standard 1/8 lol Not a good marketing move imo 🤔 lol

[@RoadsideRC]

@@EJ-74 ...and this truck has no 1:1 equivalent for them to scale down from. Which makes the scle difficult in RC. Every manufacturer calls things different. But - no doubt that setting this next to a 1:8 Arrma Kraton would be silly.

[@warmfreeze]

either your hands are ENORMOUS or this thing isnt exactly 8th scale..

[@RoadsideRC]

Both!! :) It is a small 1:8, no doubt. Certainly closer to a legit 1:10!

[@CrystalPlantz]

It's a pos. Basically front wheel drive due to a junk ass diff

[@RoadsideRC]

The truck is actually really fun and durable. I have been letting the neighborhood kids drive it - and they are having a lot of fun and it has taken all of the abuse! The center diff is just a spec from the factory on the fluid - putting some thicker fluid in there solves it real quick.

[@CrystalPlantz]

@RoadsideRC can be a pos and still be fun

[@mikescherrer4923]

Tell me you don't understand how RC diffs work without telling me 😂

[@CrystalPlantz]

@mikescherrer4923 I've got a couple arrma kraton. I know how shit works I've seen alot of reviews on this truck before yours. They all say the same. You can also see in the videos

[@Xandro_B20]

Never heard about diff fluid ey😂. My MT8 front tyres balloon like crazy, 500k fluid fixed the problem.
