[MAD] New Brushless HBX 1/16 RC Truck. This was way better than I expected. HBX 16889

[@twrecks116]

I Like these Budget Friendly Cars! You show Us,the Good from the Bad. I Really Enjoy Your Channel!

[@TomleyRC]

Thanks dude

[@philiprccars4340]

A huge thumbs up to you, Phil, this little HBX is really all it promised to be and more! 👍👏

[@modelnutty6503]

another fun little Haiboxing, the 2188B 4WD (no diffs) drift car. full suspension with friction type dampers but they do what they're supposed to, it doesn't bounce around like a puppy. first impression was "are you kidding me?" because it was pretty wimpy, there's a power selector top of transmitter, switched it to high "oh hey now!". 1/18 scale drift car just over 1/4 the size of a 1/10 scale while doing it all really similarly, powered by a little 180 motor. found it in eBay RTR for 45 bucks, about perfect for any larger smooth floored room.

[@Lycan_24_7]

Thank you for the video, I just purchased this for my daughter's first RC car

[@TomleyRC]

She’ll love it 😎🤟

[@Del350K4]

Big respect to HBX for their honest speed claim - other manufacturers please take note! Having said that, whoever decided to fit pogo shocks to such a quick truck needs their parking space re-allocated to the janitor...

[@TomleyRC]

haha... yep... another bouncy one! 🤘

[@cwatson42785]

I don't understand why they don't just up the price 15-30$ for some decent oil filled shocks. I think people would be happy to pay the little bit more for a truck that is actually dampened.

[@Del350K4]

@@cwatson42785 It is strange to look at the areas in which these Chinese budget manufacturers choose to economise and where they spend. Meanwhile, on the "hobby grade" side of the tracks, Tamiya are still somehow getting away with supplying nylon bushes and "friction damped" shocks while maintaining their reputation as a high quality manufacturer...

[@cwatson42785]

@@Del350K4 I agree with you on tamiya! I always looked at them as having great models and detail but were really cheaply made. Its almost like they are still in the 90s. Its like they are hobby grade price but toy grade materials. I think they succeed off of nostalgia. Sorta how all these die hard traxxas lovers are blind to the fact of the outdated platforms and high dollar price tags. People grew up on them so they refuse to see the bad in front of them.

[@Del350K4]

You said it, Chris - we make purchases under the impression that we´re thinking rationally but in fact emotions play a huge part in these decisions - more than many of us realise...

[@robertkelly5515]

Got my HBX today, WOW what a brillliant fun truck, straight out with it and the Lion batt had power in it, flying down the street.I have about 7 small lipo's I can use in the truck so can be really running constantly if I want to, the provided Lithium Ion produces good power too. I also strap in a bigger standard Lipo of 2200mah with an external strap, really rockets on this.I thought it was fast then noticed my throttle trim was on about half, so bang turned it straight up, and the thing went like a missile.Way faster and more fun than my drift car.The BEST r/c car I have ever owned easily, looks and feels more like a £100 truck.So a real bargain at £65. Give it reverse then full power and it wheelies, or full power out of a turn and another wheelie!!! Quality product, I love it. Rob

Good one. Nope, the transmitter is the old standard HBX - so more usual than the new ones ;-) I haven't seen other brands use it. It is the one I got in 2013 with my first HBX, just in a upgraded version with dual rate I think.

The best thing to do for the lipo is wait until the truck arrives and then measure the battery thats in there.

[@michaelholden8667]

Thanks for all your information you make great videos and take cheap cars and make them fast as hell on that one I got it got too get a set of oiled filled shocks so the truck will handle better than I'm going buy some accessories for it a little bit at a time I paid 80 dollars for it at Amazon

This is faster and a bit bigger

[@EppeRRR]

Are the parts from the brushless (driveshafts/diffs etc) the same as the brushed version? And do you know if this is a similar truck as the Xinlehong 9136 (brushed) and Q901 (brushless)? Really like your approach to RC, not just bashing and going tot the moon with the cars, but enough information for a rookie like me to understand the like or dislike of these rc cars/models. Thank you

[@TomleyRC]

Cheers for the kind words. This is the same platform as the other video you commented on. So yes, some differences between brushed and brushless. As for similar to the 9136 and Q901.... yes similar, but not quite the same. All of them are good...but they all need Oil shocks 👍

[@NepDouble07]

What size servo would you need to put in this? If you wanted to upgrade. I got basically the same one, just rebranded and the servo is definitely not nearly as good as what it looked like for you. It's pretty pathetic actually.

[@ReconCombat]

Incouldnt find the brushless ne anywjere but the new ravage is brushed but comes with 2 Lipo batteries so that should make it fast enough

@@TomleyRC But it's more expensive, isn't it? I won't miss much if I save a few bucks, right?

[@bangurhead4027]

Nice review gov, any thoughts on comparing this to the 144001 or the A959B? That steering servo looks good and I'm liking the brushless, but, why didn't they go 540 size? Maybe too much for the plastic gearing? Your input as usual is highly appreciated.

[@kcira8578]

They went for 550 brushed motor. Probably so they can keep the car under $100. So far, only the spurs gear is plastic but it still has 5 wires servo.

[@TomleyRC]

Cheers Bang... yeah, maybe even a 380 brushless would have been a bit nicer.
