  • The Haiboxing (HBX) 16890sa is the newest and most updated version of one of the most durable and best known RCs of the budget RC world.
    Besides the size of the battery tray, the biggest complaint I've heard on these is that they aren't fast enough. The requests have been answered and this model can accommodate a 3S Lipo! Still just as durable as before but with even better looks!

    Another outstanding video! I think I could make a strong argument you have the best RC videos on CZcams! Really enjoyed this one.
    I have the older version of this car and has gone up to 57 mph on an upgraded motor and ESC…. And it also did 34 mph on a 3s (stock - but it was pushing that ESC to its limit). A lot of fun for sure!

    • @DerbyCityRC
      @DerbyCityRC  Před 6 měsíci +1

      Thanks Brian, that’s amazing to hear!!
      Yes the older models could kind of handle 3s. Mainly because that little red brick esc was death proof lol. I still would get little weird glitches when I tried it, but if I feathered the throttle, it worked ok. This new one is actually designed for it, that’s the only real difference lol

    • @BriansRCStuff
      @BriansRCStuff Před 6 měsíci

      @@DerbyCityRC I would get the same glitches and have to ease into mine as well! When I ran much larger tires, I could not use it at all on 3S because it would create a higher amp draw and literally be like you jammed a stick in the gears when you demanded too much from the ESC… The car would come to a screaming halt!

      Crazy enough I don’t think there is. I tried binding it to an older hbx remote that does have speed control and it didn’t work. It bound but the car didn’t know what to do and throttle was completely wacked out. Seems like an oversight on their end. If you like this car, the most similar one with a speed control remote would be the 16890a with the yellow body. Looks like a pretty good price with an extra coupon right now: amzn.to/3RIXpu3

I put those same ones on my original Hyper Go to replace the crappy ones it came with. The one thing I wish HBX would do is put the servo on the other side and mount the esc on top of it like MJX does. That way we could have a bigger battery tray.

      This is the 3s I used, but it’s not a perfect fit. Usually strap it to the upper plastic brace or put a block of foam in the battery tray and lay the battery on top of that and the servo and strap it with two Velcro straps or one longer one.amzn.to/4a3BdDh

Oh, and I bought another Redcat MT10 😢😂. I also got a ton of parts coming and I’ll have 2 now. The new one I’m gonna keep at stock height and add sway bars as well as the aluminum front and back skid plates and aluminum servo saver. Center diff and Mount should be ordered soon as well. I’d love to see how you feel about raising the stock height by moving the shocks over on the A arms! That’s how I set it up after the 3rd run and was much more happy. A lot of bashers moved to the harder red springs so that’s another option at stock height but Redcat told me moving to 60wt shock oil with the stock springs is ideal so I’m gonna try that at some point with stock, soft, and hard springs… 😂

      The Arrma 4s is awesome. I had the OG 4s Outcast which is the real v1 from 2019 and it was my 1st Arrma I didn’t like so as soon as the Kaiju dropped in 2019 I sold the Outcast.

      Awesome! No that’s not a common issue that I’ve ever heard of! Finally after two years I broke a couple teeth off my spur gear when I had oversized tires on it for most of its life and ran it on 3s when it happened. So who knows it most likely won’t ever happen again lol
      Ya that SA is a fun one too of course!

    Hi, which of these are the better rc truck?
    hbx 16890a vs 16889a?
    Appreciate your expertise opinion 😊

    • @DerbyCityRC
      @DerbyCityRC  Před měsícem +1

      The 16890a is definitely a better choice over the 16889a. But the 16889a PRO would be just as good if not a little better.

    How does this compare to the 2997a? Im pretty much decided one one of the two. Im also slightly confused what exactly the differences are between all the models but eh 160 ish for one of these two is great.

    • @DerbyCityRC

      Sorry for the late reply. I definitely prefer the 2997a. It’s quite a bit bigger, faster, easier to control, has the center differential and nearly just as durable.

    Is there a way to get it to stop fast

      It’s possible the throttle trim is turned too far forward. Could try turning it slightly counter clockwise. Hopefully that does it!

      I’d get this hbx over any 1/16 HyperGo. Probably still over the 1/14 scales too. These are just so durable. However if you want to go slightly bigger, check out my video on the hbx 2997a. That one has a center differential and is also built extremely well.

    • @DerbyCityRC

      It’s so similar it might as well be. The rear upper control arms are different, but if you find them, you can even get the 16889a pro arms if you ever break one. I haven’t. This is probably the best of all of them due to the better esc. Only thing about it is, you can’t turn down the speed. Kind of weird and had to be an oversight but it’s stuck at full speed besides just controlling the trigger. Full throttle is full throttle.

    • @kendallwilliams8135
      @kendallwilliams8135 Před 4 měsíci

      ⁠@@DerbyCityRCThank you for the reply! I have the 18859A, which I have been enjoying. Do you know if the 16889a pro tires would work on it without hurting the motor? I really want bigger tires on it, as it will help some with ground clearance (and looks), I just don’t want to stress the motor or drivetrain. I know the motors are the same, but not sure how the 16889a pro is geared.

    • @DerbyCityRC
      @DerbyCityRC  Před 4 měsíci

      @kendallwilliams8135 I’m not sure if the gearing is different, but I actually put the tires from my 901a on my 18859a a long time ago and it was fine, so I’d say do it!
      Possible you may need some small hex extenders to keep them from rubbing the body, but maybe not. The bigger the tires the more strain on the drivetrain but these gears are tough!

    So far it's this 16890SA or the 16889A Pro.... They seems pretty similar but for $20 more you get a few accessories and 3KM

    • @DerbyCityRC
      @DerbyCityRC  Před dnem +1

      To me the SA would be worth it. Better ESC, paddle tires, better looking body in my opinion. Only issue is you can’t turn a knob to slow it down. You can control it with the trigger of course but you can’t lower the top speed with a knob like you can on the “older” models like the 16889a. Hopefully that helps!

      Well those upgrades are pretty much all already on the 16890A and the SA so you shouldn’t need those (if I’m right on what you’re talking about)
