Top 5 'Banggood Special' RC Cars

[@whitecompany18]

Nothing wrong with a "Phil special" . ..we don't all drive Lamborghinis and have a throwaway budget ...I'm here for this👍

[@FunLovingCriminal_JB]

Amen to that bro ❤

[@TomleyRC]

I took ‘Phil Specials’ as a compliment 😇

[@bragilbe12]

I own a $2000 Xmaxx, $1500 losi LMT and a $1000 arrma kraton and i still buy these little cheapos lol i just got done building a $70 WPLD D12 😂😂

[@sheiladavis2304]

@@TomleyRC oops!

[@TheSphongleface]

I have all the cars but it's more fun with a small car. Less damage, less collateral, more repairs, more modification, cheaper. Kinda like it used to be back when we only had Nitro🎉.

[@MitchellBolognaniRC]

I might be sold on that last one 😮

[@vusalheydar]

I ordered HB R1001 after watching your video about it🫶🏻

[@TomleyRC]

Great choice 👌

[@doubledome2076]

We don't all have trust funds that we ( claim we made money off selling ebay stuff ) can throw money away on anything and then know if it's any good or not. I'll take a Phil special over game over bs every time‼️👍👍🦾🦾🤘🤘

[@TimbukTu0264]

Enjoy these budget type rc reviews. Disabled and on a rather strict income,so less- expensive) cheap to some other's maybe,but it allows me to rc and even indoors with the mini's. Great video so thanks.

[@TomleyRC]

So many people on a tight budget… so although it may not be as good as some of the big brand stuff… it’ll still get you on to the Hobby 👌

[@Breakaway_RC]

AliExpress special for me, apparently I'm a diamond member 😂😂😂😂

[@TomleyRC]

Haha

[@dannyseville2543]

It wasn't really that long ago that a cheap rc car wasn't radio control, it was remote by wire, and the only turned left in reverse. They were cheap and pretty crap. Even the ones you can get these days with on/off speed and steering aren't what you would call great. Cheap now can include proportional speed and steering and some of them for the price are great value. Some people just need to remember it's not about the most expensive one you can find, it's about how much fun you can have with it.

[@TomleyRC]

Very true. Things have come along way 👌

[@ihsrc4220]

i like watching likes increasing while watching the video 🙂 24 when i starting watching the video, 36 now at the end

[@TomleyRC]

987 now haha

[@dieseldabz7104]

To be honest I'm fairly new-ish to the hobby of electric RC's after having had some Nitro Traxxas trucks yrs ago now. It is crazy the amount of snobs as you called them that that have RC channels but I've also seen in the "EDC" and Knife industry as well. I just have a hard time listening to some of these guys because a lot of it is utter crap and in reality the often give 100% BIASED reviews of certain products because well let's be real they are getting paid people and decently at that. 99.9% of folks reviewing something and being paid and sent free gear constantly aren't gonna talk shit about that companies stuff period.

[@BangForYourBuckRc]

Very strong list of goodies there Phil. Really good list! I think might choose Xinglihong 903, 901 Brushless versions just a tad over the HBX but, both are pretty much unbreakable. Cheers buddy!☕️☕️👊🏼

[@TomleyRC]

Yes, the Xinglihong are good… I often forget about them as I reviewed them quite some time ago

[@davidrivero7943]

I don't understand , I'm here for the GD Rodent , Allen 😂

[@TomleyRC]

Alan… Alan…

[@Northbourne12]

Was that pat, got to love being able to say the word pat without it been removed from comments automatically like on some channel’s

[@adambarker9493]

The geezer saying "Phil special" and laughing sounds like a proper billy hunt...

[@RedLionRC]

Oh yeah the HBX is king 👑 For the mjx & the beluga I absolute agree with you. Good job tomley, nice video 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

[@VS666]

I recently bought the MJX H14 you reviewed and while it is a great value I’m disappointed no one bothered to mention the throttle delay that is built into the ESC that can’t be fixed. I threw a different rx/tx on it thinking that would help but that just caused a bunch more problems like aggressive engine braking, servo wouldn’t turn all the way even with travel maxed out, and not to mention you need a six channel to run the fans and lights

[@todd5060]

Maybe extend that to 10 and include the WLToys 1/28th line up and UDI and pinecone. Decent list.. keep doing what you do.

[@anthonyduffy6953]

I think there's some great cars from bang good. I've got 3 up to now for my kid (8yr old) and they are all pretty durable and quick for the price. So much better than getting him the toy ones from argos.

[@TomleyRC]

Agree 👌

[@Gix3D]

What does me is the amount of half descent skate/BMX freestyle parks there are now Yet no skaters and no BMXers. They missed the real craze by 35 years! Back then WE WOULD HAVE STAYED OUT OF TROUBLE if we'd have had those supplied.

[@TomleyRC]

I always go first thing in the morning when the kids are at school 👌

[@KathysFlog]

Did your mum not talk to about caring for your toys?

[@TomleyRC]

Never met her 🤷🏼‍♂️ 😅🥰

[@CornholioMcGeeRC]

Yay!!!! Trombone sound plastic pointer hand!!!!! My favorite part of your show!!!

[@boduke9428]

Are you getting any of the new Arrmas? Especially the 4s Mojave, 6s Kraton exb, 6s Bigrock, or Grom? I'd love to get your opinion. I have the Mojave and an gonna convert my Fireteam to a Bigrock, and waiting on my Grom to be delivered.

[@TomleyRC]

Grom should be here tomorrow. As for the others, nothing that really interests me. The 4s Mojave maybe.. absolutely love the 6s

[@Hardy_boy1]

What happened to that dude Phil or pat? I liked that guy

[@vdubcustoms3854]

I must admit you give a good honest review on everything you get That Talbot fella is just a complete goof Smashes stuff to bits then makes em faster then smashes them some I doff cap to you sir. I’d rather watch you’re Chanel than any body else’s 👍🏻😀

[@TomleyRC]

I try to be a bit more relatable to what is normal 😅

[@butchmeister80]

His vids are good but does make ppl think it’s normal to spend £1000 on an rc send it to moon and break it! Surely that’s not the idea of it! They’re not designed to do that they are cars not planes ha

[@Bot_Brad]

We ❤ Phil!! Mad ❤from Bama USA

[@kennypelling7631]

Great video for Christmas matey.

[@TomleyRC]

Thanks mate

[@reldwob22]

Picked up the HBX as a Christmas present for myself this year, for £82! Will be my first RTR RC car as I'm into 1980's Kyosho and Tamiya, but I can't wait to bash the ****** out of it! 😁

[@Lexusman65]

Feel the same way.

[@TomleyRC]

Get it down the skate park 😇

[@Maksinator_YT]

Good video, phil! I absolutely LOVED the disclaimer, lol (especially the tiny text on the left 😂😂😂)

[@TomleyRC]

Haha… 😅

[@Maksinator_YT]

@@TomleyRC XD

[@christopherdill2376]

I don't see anything wrong with your sense of humor, I find it very clever and very funny. Reminds me of Jeremy Clarkson. I love British humor. Keep true to yourself. I also love your channel, I learn things and laugh while on other channels not so much. Keep it up!

[@shadyhazza]

rear c hub broke on my 14301 first time i took it to a skate park, not so durable. upgraded to ally hubs

[@TomleyRC]

Depends how you drive 😅

[@mancavehobbies6213]

HELL YAH. It's a Phil special video. 🤣😉🙃

[@TomleyRC]

Haha

[@ShadowsxEvil]

My first decent rc was the hbx and i was not disappointed. Bought the 2997a too and am looking at what i should get next. Maybe a gorgon or something slower for my son to enjoy a little more.

[@johnjamesc123]

Long live the "Phil special" it's what got me back into rc.

[@TomleyRC]

Haha

[@qrisemrc]

I like the Unimog.👍👍👍

[@OldeSchoolRcUk]

Don’t think I’ve ever bought from Bangood tbh buddy. Might give it a look see 😊

[@TomleyRC]

I’ve had maybe 2 issues over the last few years. And both times got a refund (although you do need to be persistent with customer service)

[@OldeSchoolRcUk]

@@TomleyRC awesome just for some reason I’ve never really used it since installing the so app no particular reason

[@IowaBudgetRCBashers]

Ain’t nothing wrong with cheap RC’s. We started our channel with cheap RC’s, and I still love em. My favorite RC in my collection is my Hosim 9125..

[@TomleyRC]

My whole channel was built on cheap stuff 👌(well… most of it)

[@dieseldabz7104]

I've been curious about Hosim and asked if anyone knew about their stuff

[@IowaBudgetRCBashers]

@@dieseldabz7104 highly recommend them. Tough as nails

[@madsrcbuggy]

That's a good mix of this and that, definitely good value on much of that stuff! The MJX 14th scale seems really cool, but since I'm not one for road cars nor truggies, I think I'll sit and wait, see if they make a buggy version, I think that would be pretty nice...

[@rickrussell]

The MJX Hyper Go 16207 is a great little buggy. It's the slightly older style w/plastic chassis but it performs like a mofo.

[@gordousmaximus]

Now that’s what i call an opening statement!!! It should always be about fun…..RC snobs need not apply 😂😂😂 Thank you for this list, great variety of fun ! Have a great weekend Sir !!!

[@Xofroggy]

"Phil special" = Good, Cheap, Reliable

[@shaunodriscoll]

Great video! Now I have to task you , last Thursday I had a shoulder op, and this is your first video since! Now as one of my favourite KZbinr’s you need to step up on content for the next 6 weeks! One video a week is not going to keep me entertained. So pull your finger out and get some videos out ! It’s not as if you have anything better to do!! 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@TomleyRC]

Well Shaun… December will make up for it, I have something special in the making 😇

[@shaunodriscoll]

@@TomleyRC ooooooooo! I’m all excited now 🤣🤣🤣

[@jameswisecarver]

Ain't nothing wrong with saving money by buying a "phil special" I have several and I like each and every one, the wait from banggood is the only issue sometimes, other than that let the snobs be snobs while we have a blast!!!

[@TomleyRC]

I might trademark ‘Phil Special’

[@jameswisecarver]

@@TomleyRC I would if I was you lol

[@FarmerFpv]

C'mon, every RC hobbiest is a Closet case Banggooder. They are just ashamed of what their snobby friends would say at the country club. 😂

There's nowt the matter with a bit of Banggood.!!

[@NBC_NCO]

UDIRC is the only "name brand " to compete here in the USA against the large name brands from what I've seen on the websites that I shop at. FMS..for the slower vehicles.

[@WillowGTI]

I bought the LDRC Unimog for my son this Christmas based on your review and recommendation. Hes 5 so I imagine he will love taking it on the forest walk! Thanks Phil! 👍👍

[@3Y3ECE]

Bwahahha, now with the 'idiot claus' disclaimer!! Luvvit. Banggood specials are a great way to get into the hobby!! Dunno why people gotta bash things that aren't 100% name brand, because you still have to upgrade, maintain, and repair those big spendy models too!! Start cheap, and learn what you are doing with a car you wont feel as bad bashing as a $1000 rig stock!! Then, by the time you've got a better idea with what you're doing, the spendy cars will start to weed themselves out, and you'll be looking at precisely what ya want!! Great vids as always my friend, keep up the great work!!

[@THEMASKEDMASTER]

✌🏻😎🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿I still say there’s nothing special about Bangnotsogood 😂.

[@chrislakous5236]

I now have 3 Hypergo cars, and these things are a blast!!! Skate park, yard bashing, whatever bang for the buck!!!!! Drop an angry snail 3s lipo in and booyah you are having fun and that is what matters I've had all the popular brands and they are fun but never had this much fun for such a low price!!! Love the channel

[@VadR89]

I really love your Videos, watching them since you got me into RC again in my adult years 😊 So I bought the HyperGo some month ago and ripped all the tires in a few runs. Can you tell me where to find new wheels or even better tires to replace? I can't find any 🤔 Thank you so much!

[@valkoriont2061]

The quote is from Odin. Haha, nice!

[@mikefordham6546]

Ha ha the first video, I thought to myself, I could get the same result if I went to a builder's merchant, bought a brick for a quid and threw it up and down a track 😂😂😂😂😂

[@4acae86]

I find these Chinese cars to be like real Chinese cars… they might work, but I’d rather have a Toyota or a Subaru. I’ve tried a couple and the quality just isn’t there for me. I still like seeing what’s out there though.

[@tobydyes]

I don't buy anything from banggood I purchased a hobbywing Max 8 never got it argued with them for 6 months

[@cyborgbadger1015]

Although I have the budget for mid-rtange stuff, I'd far rather buy these cheap rc's bash the hell out of 'em, repair 'em etc I just find they're as much if not more fun tbh.

i think that aliexpress is much cheaper and has faster delivery, everything comes to switzerland in 9-11 days

D'ya know what? I got into RC aboot 10 months ago. Started with an FMS powerwagon, then a max smasher. Then, I got a 1/10 absima crawler that breaks every time I drive it. Arrma vortex that seems to be unrepairable since I drove the life out of tit at scail rail east 2023 ( I will admit I drove it beyond it capablities) an FTX Banzai that turned out to NOT be a dr?ft car............ Oh an UDI little dr?ft truck. I LOVE my little trucks that go on for ever an don't break.. I hate my expensive , big cars that I'm constantly repairing only for them to break an cost more £$£$ over an over. KEEP up with the affordalbe FUN little cars!!
