I tried this today (12/26/2019) and it didn't work anymore :(
@@jeremystokes3124 that's unfortunate. It must have just expired. Try AFFBG10 though the savings isn't nearly as much. Only 10% off.
It looks like a nice truck, for the money. I'm not overly concerned about range on my smaller RC cars, I drive them line of sight, LOL. Great Ryan, this would make for a great Holiday gift.
Thanks Ron! Yeah, it isn't a huge issue as long as you keep it close but it'll be a deal breaker for some.
Good content. Thanks!
Thanks and you're welcome!!
Your right luv the truck bought 5 in all from bangood 3 of them were birthday present I have 2 and I luv it as much as a 500 dollar one bought a lot of spare parts for it I paid 88 dollars a piece for the one I purchased its quick and durable luv it can't beat it
Like #16! HBX models tend to have weak ranged transmitters for some reason but surprisingly, their sister company has much better range! Usually the same protocol.. Try it with a GPTOYS transmitter! 👌🏽
Great advice. I didn't notice any range issues with my HBX Ground Crusher and it uses a similar transmitter. I'll see if it'll bind to this little truck.
Awesome lil truck Ryan, I got a buggy you have reviewed. It has a range problem like this truck. Over all it’s cool for sure
Which buggy are you talking about? This HBX is the only one I have that I've noticed severe range issues. Thanks for watching Donnie!
RD's Drone Reviews that gp toys camouflage buggy
@@BIGDRONEFLYER77RC AHH ok
I reviewed a brushless Xinglehong truggy not long ago. It also had very poor range! This looks very familiar!!! Good review, thanks for sharing.
Was that the Q903? I didn't have any noticeable range issues with it but the HBX's range is really poor which is a shame because it is a really nice truck otherwise $64 for a RTR brushless truck is phenomenal!
Yes, the Q903 only got about 20 meters (or less)!!! I've been meaning to take a closer look inside to see what's going on with the antenna but haven't gotten around to it yet. My guess is the antenna isn't fully extended...
@@DJSOULFORCE thats very possible. My Q903 had no range issues. I know the HBX transmitter sucks so I need to open up mine. John's throttle lever tensioner broke so he had to open it up and reattach the spring.
I have this and love it. The two things I suggest to everybody that gets this is to put grease in the differentials. Also get yourself a set of oil filled shocks.
Yep, oil filled shocks make a massive difference. I did that upgrade and made a video on it.
@@RDsRCReviews I looked for that video can you post the link?
@@nick92065 search my channel. It is from last December
are the differentials made of plastic? also, in the rear , the cup connecting the dogbone is plastic also?
@@tonyynot484 I thought the cups were metal. I'll have to look. As for the differential I have no idea since I've never taken it apart but my guess is they are metal with a plastic spur. For some reason these cheaper cars use plastic spur gears and metal diffs and pinion. I'm not sure why.
I ordered mine November 26th and I’m still waiting.....hopefully it will be here by Christmas
I hope you get it soon! Mail especially from China is really slow this time of year. I was shocked at how well mine did today in the snow. That video will be posted Wed morning.
RD's Drone Reviews awesome I look forward to it
Looks pretty decent, pity about the range though, that's very short... Can't wait for mine to arrive for review, should arrive any day now
I'm crossing my fingers that you get better range. I'm hoping it is just mine.
@@RDsRCReviews well its rated for 100m like other rc trucks which is the norm
@@PERTHWESTOZRC yeah and I'm not sure I was getting 10m.
Did yours also have low range?
I just bought the DEERC 16889 from Amazon $70. I think it’s the brushed version. Decided to by myself an RC after 30 years.
Get you the brushless motor set up Will be faster and last longer don't like the brushed motor go with brushless you will luv the power it will have
Thanx for the review. Is it possible to adjust the throttle speed with the controller? I bought it for my son. It would be nice to adjust it. / Y
Yes it has throttle dual rates as I showed at the 13:22 mark. You can use that to limit the top speed. Thanks for watching!
Very good news. Thank you!!!
@@ym22rr95 you're welcome,
Hsp oil filled 70mm shocks 4 for $11 on ebay good investment
Definitely! Thanks!!
How fast can your guys go? Mine can max drive up to 32km/h, with an S2 battery, and up to 46km/h with an S3 battery.
That sounds about right.
I just watch the rest of your video I didn’t realize you were having range problems. I wonder if you have a bad ESC. I get at least 100 m with mine.
No, the RX is fine because I get good range when I use the HBX Ground Crusher TX. I had the same range issues with the SG 1602 which is a rebranded 16889.
Hi... What lipo battery compatible to this rc?
I'm not sure of the dimensions but any small 2s lipo will work.
So... This truck or the Xinlehong 9125? The 9125 looks like more durable (metal shafts, some metal underneath the car and comes with a LiPo). I like this HBX because looks so much better, has a wheelie bar and led lights... And it's brushless instead of having two brushed motors.
The HBX all the way because it is brushless. Xinglehong are also really good but I've bashed the heck out of the HBX and haven't busted a thing. I believe there is a coupon for the HBX in this video so be sure to use the link. Also, check out my oil filled shocks upgrade video. They are cheap and make a huge difference.
I'm uncertain:
between the two which would you choose?
HBX 16889 RC Car @ or Xinlehong Q901 RC Car @?
I hear ya. I would give a slight nod to the 16889 but that's just a preference. You can't go wrong with either.
Would you know why mine keeps reversing by itself
@@RDsRCReviews would you know why mine keeps reversing by itself
Looks Good, i can't hear anything, my computer is acting up
You don't watch on your phone? I hope you figure out that audio problems.
RD's Drone Reviews I watch on my desktop, the audio service won’t load.
Hello I am getting into rc cars is this a good starter car
Yes this is an excellent starter car because it is cheap, brushless and well built. It is an ideal beginner's car. You can get it for cheap using the coupon and link in the video description.
The hs18301 1/16 +3000mah batt... or a wltoys 12423,not 428. Great RTR backyard bashers!!
Yes. It’s an excellent starter RC.
This is fine. Get rid of the esc/receiver combo. Replace it with a separate receiver with new transmitter and replace the esc to a true 60a so that you can run 2-3s. Also, replace the servo with a 3 wire servo and you'll have a blast.
Can you please put a link for the adapter for the battery charger?
I'm not sure that you mean? It just uses a standard dean's plug.
@@RDsRCReviews yeah im a nooby and i dont really know what that means
@@frivaladote9133 you just need to get a Imax charger. One sec and I'll link you up it.
here you go. This one works great and it's available from both USA and China warehouses.

@@RDsRCReviews Thanks!
Does anyone know how to bind the brushless transmitter to the 2in1 receiver ? Thanks
It lost bind? That sucks. Sorry to hear that
@@RDsRCReviews well no I had 2 brushed 16890s. I converted them both to brushless . One is full metal everything etc with speed controller and receiver. The other I thought I would try the 2in1 receiver that comes stock. . it just flashes
@@joshhindle8946 I don't think it'll work with a brushless setup. You'll need to get an aftermarket TX/RX
@@RDsRCReviews it's the exact same receiver as the brushless one ?
@@RDsRCReviews but my other one with the speed controller . I did get a diff transmitter and 3channel receiver . Works amazing . This 1 just flashes. Beeps . Weird
I just got one from Amazon and it came with the red esc..is that wrong? And no letters on motor
No that's fine. Small differences like that are normal. It is likely specific to the Amazon seller.
@@RDsRCReviews is it the same??
@@RDsRCReviews and what other clone like 16889 that has longer range?
@@donfumar4572 pinecone model sells it also but they all have horrible range though some are better than others. I use an older HBX controller from my Ground Crusher and have much better range now.
@@donfumar4572 yes
Will it run 3s lipo?
It may but I wouldn't recommend it.
Where can I get spare parts for this truck?
I would check with banggood or maybe Haiboxing themselves.
@@RDsRCReviews there's a few sites that use the haiboxing name. Where is the official one?
@@joelmackenzie here is their website but unfortunately I can't find the 16889 listed in their site. You may be able to find another vehicle that uses the same parts.

Were can I purchase batteries that will fit it besides bangood
Don't want too wait so long good company has too be 2 inches long I order batteries for it came want fit too long ordered me some batteries straps I can order the original batteries for it at bangood 12 dollars a piece gonna order 3 of them it takes a month too get them
Try eBay
Any small 2s lipo will work. Try eBay or even Amazon.
It's definitely your battery's
The controller range is definitely NOT my batteries. Other people have the same problem but I have no range issues using my Ground Crusher's controller.
@@RDsRCReviews may be something faulty because minds goes a lot further than yours did before running out of rage
@@jaymills85 some of them have better range than others as my friend David's doesn't have as bad of range as mine.
@@RDsRCReviews this is why they are so cheap lol
it's literally the hpi savage xs flux with worse electronics
Is the savage that small though?
@@RDsRCReviews I think the chinese one is a bit shorter (270mm compared to 360mm). But the design of the parts (body and internals to some extent) it looks very similar. The hpi one has a couple of dust covers and lacks the wheely bar. Other than that both are similar. The HBX is not as fast and smaller but offers a far better value for the prize. Also batteries and the charger are inculded. That's why the HBX is better for beginner, the hpi one is more suited towars people with a larger budget and more expetations towards speed and handling
@@frogelpe9871 sounds good. I love this HBX. The price for what you all get is unbeatable. Thanks for the info!
Why didn't use a new one ? Battery 🙉🙉 LoL so u can stop complaining in your trucks range ?🤣🤣🤣
The batteries aren't the issue. The controller says the batteries are fine and if you watch my review of the SG version you'll see it has the same poor range. The controllers are terrible. I'm going to be upgrading it soon to a new Dumbo RC TX/RX and oil filled shocks.
