Dang I shoulda waited a month lol. I put oil shocks on the last model, a cooling fan and can run a whole 3s pack no problem. So I'm pretty sure this one could handle 3s. I can hit double back flips on the littlest ramps with 3s. Great truck!!! BTW you're now #1 on my rc guy list. Kevin has been relegated. Lol
My son has the older brushless one, and is now on his third body shell. Awesome little truck, and great that Haiboxing seem to be listening to their customers, and have fitted oil shocks. 👍🏻
got mine friday took it out for its first bash today it goes really well for such a small car. only two things ill be changing an thats to put hub extensions on it an a different wheel set
Been using friction shocks, for over 1 year with this, had to wrap tape around the springs to make them harder, I swapped out the whole drive shafts front and rear to metal, including the drive cups, and bought a heat sink, for my 3s, worked full pack, and didn’t burn out, hit 70km/h on my truck, until the diffs ripped up, and had to spend more on new ones, this truck surely is one of a kind, should’ve waited a couple of years for this pro version 😞, spent like 200 dollars on this old version, could’ve saved a lot with the pro!!
Got the older version and think it's great, if you haven't got one guys get one to throw in your rc bag as a spare truck, or if you haven't got any rc get one it's a great first truck 👌🏻
Looks like a brushed version of the Blackzon Slayer. Same chassis. I think I have seen several brands similar. That brushless/lipo combo is a game changer for it though!
Awesome Phil, I had a feeling this was going to be something special when I saw the spec. HBX are absolutely smashing it lately. I think for the price point this one is in a league of its own.
its in the same league as the MJX Hypergo 16207-16210. It has its advantages and it has its weaknesses. The point why i would say the HyperGo is the better of the 2 is: its 3s capable and it has a seperate Receiver, so you can integrate it in your fleet and use your own Remote Control. (I own 2 Hypergos and one 16889A Pro and i love them all :-)
They are sooooo much fun I ended up buying 2 so can lend one out for visitors , with oil dampers and the green wtltoys buggy wheels(024?) they rock even more ,managed get them cheaper than the brushed in a bgood sale.Finding it is becoming a go to truck just for no worries fun.
So much love for these. Off the back of your last review, bought the brushless truggy version and my 5 yr old loves it. We all do, in fact. Does pretty much everything our Big Rock and Vorteks can do and never seems to break. With bigger wheels, oil shocks and a 45c 2S, ours will do 30mph, according to my SkyRC. I’ve just noticed in the last couple of days the Truggy version of the PRO is starting to appear online. Price is up quite a bit from the “non PRO” brushless but still an awesome entry into RC for under £100.
Wow this thing is awesome! I had my eye on the predecessor for a while now. Seems like I'll put that on my whish list. And, yes oil shocks and li-pos make a huge difference. Thanks for the video, mate.
Best unbreakable RC I've ever owned was the losi mini SCT 24 never ran any other batter than 3s apart from one front chick still even running original spur pinion and a 9 year old 3s pack lol
Just got one of these on ali express for a little under 68 quid before tax. I had a 96 quid one in my basket and the cheaper one came up underneath as a recommended so I swapped it in. Also got myself a Dumbo RC 350 for 55 at the same time (i know i can't use it with the ravage it's just in case I get the flavour back XD ) 147 quid after tax :)
2s is a little bit lame so i made it a 3s basher. Uhhh now its a beast and a real challenge to control it. So much fun and its always the last car driving out from the battlefield on its own. 😁
maan i have been grabbing sooo much footage of these scale brushless. i can't staaaaaahp! i'm have to a do a whole series just on the HBX brushless bashes!
sweeet! i was just going to buy the green one last night. this one comes with all metal gears, more metal! better motor, better battery, oil shocks, cooler color etc haha this is a must buy! I was going to buy green one till I saw your notification, while I was waiting in drive thru of taco place. haha thanks for review tomley rc! :D
Now that truck just needs 25mm hub extensions some proline trenchers and the baron drift truck body. Just turn around front body post and punch 2 holes in the back of the body. My favorite little baby notorious
had put those shocks on my brushed one, a hard roll over slammed a rear arm down ripped open the lower plastic shock mounting loop like it was nothing. other than that happening it was handling bumps etc really well, unlike the stock pogo sticks.
I had this one for a week and with the stock esc i have some speedruns with 3s lipo: at 25mph( the 2s top speed) it pull wheelies at full throttle!!💯💪🤭🙃😀🌟
I have the normal version and love that truck. I might have to pick this up. It's totally unruly but lots of fun, those oil shocks would help some I'd imagine.
Picked up an hbx 16980sa becasue it s like this . I think it s a newer model of this design . It’s really fast on 3s . I have a large church parking lot nearby and can really open it without stopping . Except when I turn too much sometimes she spins . I really like it but want something bigger now for more easy steering . Maybe something with a gyro . I do need some help with this being newer . I haven’t messed with the RC s since early 2000 s .
just picked one of these up... I think the ESC is fried? not sure... It drives about 10 feet then stops. I have to pull the trigger 5-6 times then it'll move another 10 feet, stop and glitch out again...
I got the SG version from Banggood, it's awesome,the most durable rc I have ever owned. I take it to the bike park by my house,it has huge dirt jumps and it has taken quite a beating there. The only thing I changed was the tires. I put Rock beast 1.75 crawler tires on it and what a difference. So much grip now. I would definitely recommend trying those tires on yours.you will be amazed by the difference in handling.
@@txv611 I don't have the packaging and I got the tire size wrong they are 1.55 . I'm not at home right now but these are also a good tire for it and it's a 1.55 as well. They are Good year wrangler by RC4WD.
You can't beat the 16889 in fun to cost. I bought the brushless one then bought all the metal upgrades and the same size motor as the new pro but in a slightly higher KV, it's awesome!
Looks like a tiny xmaxx,bet it's tougher though lol finally bit the bullet last week and bought an xmaxx,only run 2 lots of lipo's through it and the servo's already knackered,should've saved myself a grand and bought one of these😂
Hey tomley, I got the bezgar 7 off amazon, which is an overpriced stock hbx16889, got bored with the brushed motor in it, so I decided I'd upgrade it all (yes I've paid more than what I would getting one off Ali, or banggood), but you should try this, it's loads of fun, I've put in a surpass hobby 35A esc with a 2435 4800kv motor (not a great fit, shaft size is too narrow, going to change the motor I think) and I upgraded the transmitter and receiver, the basic tx/rx were the biggest issue I had, just was a bit pants, I'm just running it on the stock 2s li-ion packs it came with, and it wheelies for days, I should be able to put a 3s through it too, but I don't know if that's just too stupid or not, loads of fun for a first car into the hobby, ohh, first thing I did was oil shocks too, I'd live to let you know how fast it currently goes on 2s, but I don't have a GPS unit, and I crashed it first run with an old phone on the back and broke the phone, so that's not happening now, you should do a world's fastest hbx 16889 to go with your fast wltoys
Hi, looking to purchase the HBX 16889A pro, before use should i pack the diff with grease? What else needs to be greased? What grease and oil for the shocks would you recommend? I'm new to this hobby, based in the UK, thanks!
How do u charge it out the box without making it melt or over heat,as this happened with my first different car.I just plugged into wall by memory and didn’t have a special charger.Thanks
Bought this about a month ago and been bashing in the skate park with it. Tough little truck, I couldn't even bend the driveshaft which my other RC seems to suffer when bashing in the skatepark.
The tires look like a direct copy of the traxxas summit tires but there mounted backwards. Maybe they perform slightly better offroad flipped around the other way?
Looks freakishly similar to the NUOKE Ravage brushless and of course the brushed Bezgar 7 and its Haiboxing counter part. And the Blomiky. But you got me. I'll buy one. Just for the wheelie bar.
Iv just got a toy grade mustang GT 1:20 scale with moter and transmission upgrade and pinion upgrade had to glue the tires on using a 10amp esc and 7.2 ni . Brushed micro 050 soon I'll get 9v lipo to kill it with lol
I buy the hbx 16889 after your scat park rewiuw for my 8 jears old boy the brushless and we are very happy withe the rc. Think I buy the pro for my. Thx 4 your rewiuws
I have the original one of those and I love it! I have the brushless version. I need to try it with a lipo because the li ion they come with is kinda weak..
Sweet looks like a decent little basher and plenty of power for its size I like how you control it using one hand ✋ As always your video's are fantastic cheers buddy 👌👏👍
Hey Phil. Great video, I got this awesome little powerhouse few days ago and even though it gives quite good time of driving,motor heats up and stops. (Yes i did install Dusty Motors dust cover to the body, get rid of most dirt while driving, so that might block air a bit) but any tips what cooling fan could work with this car? There was one heatsink installed to motor, when I purchased it. Thanks.
Phil! NOT HAPPY....! you're putting more money spending stuff my way. Stop it! only kidding, don't stop the excellent videos. But you have influenced my spending more than any other CZcamsr out there. Good work! 👍🍺🇬🇧
Yes, I bought one when they first came out… but after 6 months I fell out of love with it. Fantastic car, but not ideal for a daily driver as it’s only fun when you are driving it on the edge..had fun for 6 months though, and got all my money back plus more 😎👌
I have HBX 901 almost brand new, suddenly stopped working at all, the battery is okay, the only thing work is the led light but nothing else, i need your help please
This thing is awesome, but there are 2 major things to criticize: 1) The tires... not "a littlebit to hard" its screams for traction all the time... almost "driftstyle like" (MJX 16208 tires are way better) 2) the ESC wires are connected wrong from factory almost everytime i get one in my hands!!! clearly to see in your video -> Change A B wires (blue orrange) and this thing flies!! (almost a bit faster than the Hypergos on 2S) -> 23/24MPH is way too slow... (32-35MPH should stand) and the "Punch" you meantion is almost doubled after correcting the wires.
You are some piece of works... I miss your infamous 'Kevin Talbot' impersonation Loved it!... wish i could replicate that vid where you flew the wheel off of the sped up rc and the wheel flew down the road... I hope your wife appreciates you as much as we do. Stay the same, enjoy your humor!! Peace buddy, keep up the comical personality and great vids! Love the 16889a Pro, can't cope with the bendable dog bones and lost pin cvd axles and coninuous breaking axles threads. Love my granite BLX 4x4 s. :-)
haha, thanks Dan. i'm glad you enjoy my humour! I try to add a little in here and there, and none is ever done negatively. The 16889A is one of my favourite mini bashers... but a 3s Arrma is 100% the way to go for some solid fun!
Hey I need a better servo for this.. Have the tyers of hbx 903 and on Gras is the power of the stock servo not so good. Wich should I by not so expensive.?
Dang I shoulda waited a month lol. I put oil shocks on the last model, a cooling fan and can run a whole 3s pack no problem. So I'm pretty sure this one could handle 3s. I can hit double back flips on the littlest ramps with 3s. Great truck!!! BTW you're now #1 on my rc guy list. Kevin has been relegated. Lol
Sounds insane! oh... and thanks for the promotion to top spot!.... Very much appreciated!
@@TomleyRC you deserve it 👍🍺
Kan ay have a rc car
Fan on motor or esc? Stock esc running 3s I presume? Thanks
@@MiddersTube motor. It would run hot about half way through a 3s pack but with the motor fan, no issues. Yes stock ESC.
Damn !!! HBX is really encouraging people to enter affordable hobby grade rc !! They're pretty good !! Thanks for this man !
Yes… decent little truck
My son has the older brushless one, and is now on his third body shell. Awesome little truck, and great that Haiboxing seem to be listening to their customers, and have fitted oil shocks. 👍🏻
Hey mate
You still happy with the non-brushless car?
I really appreciate these reviews of less expensive brands and vehicles. Name brand prices can scare newcomers away from the hobby.
got mine friday took it out for its first bash today it goes really well for such a small car. only two things ill be changing an thats to put hub extensions on it an a different wheel set

haha, thanks Dan. i'm glad you enjoy my humour! I try to add a little in here and there, and none is ever done negatively. The 16889A is one of my favourite mini bashers... but a 3s Arrma is 100% the way to go for some solid fun!
Brilliant 👏🏼 good demo and info thank you 👍🏼👊🏼🏴
0:35 lol 😂
So….. do they put grease in the diffs?? The original, not so much
HBX is definitely listening. Good job!
Tomley, where in the US is best to purchase the RC cars like this one or others you review. I am looking for my son. Thanks!
Brilliant - got the original with oil shocks which is a must (not sure you mentioned it 😉)
Really helpful comparisons too 👍🏻
