- Haiboxing has come a long way since their first introduction of a 1/18 scale car. We’re now on our 4th generation. Before releasing this, HBX asked the members of its Facebook Group what they wanted.
What happens? HBX gave us everything we asked of them + more!
1. Upgraded shocks, done.
2. A second body, done.
3. A 3-wire servo, done.
4. Metal drivetrain, done.
5. Standard motor bullet connectors, done.

Im kinda glad I decided to buy one, considering this RC is basically a prebuilt kit car.
Yeah I think you’ll like it.
@Funcentric out of curiosity do you know if the reciever/esc combo supports a larger motor? Or should I just plan on an eventual overhaul in the case of system damage?
@@Grimmance I would not advise putting a larger KV motor with the existing ESC combo. You can use a physically larger one if it'll fit. The advantage of that will be that it can dissipate heat better. Overall though, HBX are excellent well supported budget RC's to be used out of the box w/o modding. If you want to mod, I'd go up to a pricier 1/10 scale car.
I don't know if you've seen my other videos, but a 1/10 scale car with budget components will be poorer in performance. Ones with legitimate components will be much heavier and the weight alone can hurt itself so it requires a much more disciplined driver. 1/16 scale is perfect for reliability for casual driving. Getting into anything more serious requires a big jump in $$$$. Like 5x.
@Funcentric thanks! I'll keep that in mind and look for better heatsinked motors.
Will do
Good video. Thanks
Thanks for the overview on HBX’s latest. I have not gotten any new HBX trucks in a while now, been too into planes and drones.
Sure, this one isn’t brand new. It’s been around awhile but I needed the time to run through the packs to gain a real perspective. Most reliable rc I have to date. 1/18 a little squirrelly but it’s great for its size.
I’ve been tempted to get into FPV wings! All quads down for some time now except the bigger guy that I’m scared I’ll run into another window, $$$.
I've had one since January. The first outing, I blew out one of the front dog bones. HBX is sending me both front CVDs though. It's fast as hell, and flips over super easy.
Haha. Yeah that’s what happens when you put so much power into a small package. Imagine that in 3S. Haha.
I just picked up two of these so the kids and I and can run two at the same time. Different body colors help!
Nice! I still love mine. I've been so stoked though on the MJX 16208. It's insane. Too powerful for kids though, but as a parent, you'll love it. Will probably be making a video soon. It's the 1/16 scale rc to end all 1/16 scales. Yup, that good. Oil filled shocks, honeycomb style chassis, separate receiver, clipless body securing mount, skeleton frame on the inside of the body, goes 37mph. It's nuts. Wheelies on 2S and designed as 3S capable and seriously is. Speed adjustability only drops to 70%, so still not low enough for most youngsters under 8 I'd say.
I got one two weeks ago and run 3s once and a while with no issues with overheating at all. What a rocket 🚀 Great basher over all!
I wouldn't risk that. It's a good RC; you don't want to break it. If you want something 3S capable that's fairly small, look at the MJX 16208.
@@Funcentric Its held up pretty dang good so far! I only special occasion rip 3s for the shock factor but definitely always taking a risk when doing so. My daughter loves her HBX 16889 that I upgraded to metal drivetrain, thing is bullet proof.
@@jaystrappa Nice! I did that on the old 16889 and maybe had done something wrong, b/c after awhile, the whole thing ripped to shreds. I ended up taking it apart and put it together with another broken car to make this: instagram.com/reel/CieWMd2juGy/?
@@Funcentric The Frankencar nice!
@@jaystrappa yup! and it still running strong. I still wish I had the stock 16889 though. That thing was nice.
NOW THIS IS WHAT I CALL A REVIEW! this helped me decide. I am getting 2 ( for me and son to race ) We live outside the US, so If there is any extra spare part you can recommend that I can buy since it will be another year for me to order again.. please let me know. ie new batteries, shocks, pins, etc. THANKS AGAIN! keep up the great work man
Thanks. Maybe some turn buckles and an esc receiver combo unit. That should be under warranty though.
In HBX 18859a we go 1000mah battery till how much we can battery upgrade
I don’t recommend running more than 2S voltage in these. Mah isn’t really an upgrade. It’s just battery capacity. I have a video on how to select a battery. At some point the weight of the battery will make it perform a lot worse. The larger the battery, the less efficient. Just keep that in mind.
Ok
My daughter just got one for Christmas, fast little car, even goes through grass pretty well. Only issue is it will run for approximately 10 minutes then stop. Even with swapping out a fresh battery it may run for 5 mins then stop but you can still control the steering of the front wheels. Any idea of what that could be? Thanks
When it can only steer, it means it barely has enough battery to steer but not throttle.
Perhaps lower the speed so that it’s not on full throttle and that should make it last longer.
Thanks for the quick reply. I tried that today and it worked for a good while. Then started doing the same thing. Would love to figure out why it can't go full power because the car really rips.
@@32Immense Perhaps request to join the Haiboxing Facebook group. I’ll approve you and some of the admin and members can chime in.
I just got the 16889 for my son, I wonder if I should have went with the 18859 instead. I thought the 1/18 would have been smaller but it seems to be the same size..
What are the differences?
I suspect you mean the 16889A Pro. There’s no real difference between that and the 18859A. The latter had two batteries instead of one and is indeed smaller and comes with two bodies.
The build of each and features though are identical.
Hopefully you did not get the standard 16889. If you did, hopefully it was brushless. The 18859 is quite old by now. I’m further assuming you mean the 18859A which is the purple one shown.
1/16 will take on grass better due to the ground clearance.
@@Funcentric actually it's the 16889 standard (brushed) as brushless version wasn't available for me.. I was wondering how I could further improve it.. or if it was just better to get a 2nd one. Thanks in advance for the insight
@@louismartineau1596 better to get a second one. I don’t recommend modifying Haiboxing cars apart from maybe upgraded shocks.

😉 nah, this is the one we wanted 🔥 unfortunately had to build it myself 😅
