I have this truck. Got it for my 4 year old son. He LOVES it. Full throttle slam into a brick wall and it doesn't break. The shafts pop out once in a while, no big deal there. You cannot break this thing just by driving it. It's perfect for indoor fun and it actually goes fast enough to run outside also. Great truck! I'm picking up an Arrma Granite 4x4 BLX tomorrow at the hobby shop. I wish you would review that! Best RC channel on TH-cam, Kevin. Thanks for the videos and inspiration.
I bought it and love it. I had loads of rc cars as a kid and broke every one of them. I didn't know anything about repairing them. Bought this to try out and love it! I bought two more for my kids so we can bash together. I love that they have a parts list and upgraded parts. Worth the money, loads of fun!
There is a website that is called haiboxing rc in There you can buy cars and parts. Just press the search icon and put the part numbers and they will appear the parts that you want
Waiting for the wl toys 12428 best cheap mod. Nice work Kev, taking into consideration those who can't afford expensive RCs but love the hobby and can only afford the cheap ones.
My a979b just kind of stopped working the other day I did a backflip in and took a pretty hard Landing in the throttle cuts out and I don't know what's wrong with it but I'm going to assume it's the electronic speed controller could you tell me if you've ever had a problem with this and what do you think I should do you think I should just go and buy a new one or see if I can try to work it out with this
@@KevinTalbotTV Center drive shaft is straight and all the other ones are straight as well it works but Cuts in and out I have full control over steering but my throttle Cuts in and out quite frequently I think it's the ESC
@@dootslayer1402 it's not losing connection because my Servo is always working I've checked the plugs that's not it and the motor I just got it on Christmas and the motor the white fan blades inside the motor have started to flake but it's not too bad can I plug in today and it ran just fine I think I just smacked hard enough where I shook something loose
Question, does the esc cut off the voltage properly (is there a setting perhaps on the esc too change that ?) Or do you have too keep an eye out for that yourself or get a lipo buzzer as lithium ion cells which the stock battery is made of has a lower cutoff voltage that will damage lipo batteries or were they generous with the voltage cutoff from the get go so it works with both relatively safely ?
man that was my first ever hobby grade rc. i got it a few years ago for my birthday and it was just epic fun man! and yes when i got more into the hobby i also upgraded to a few aluminium parts lol
😁👍 Nice hop ups! I wish most of the faster toy grades came with oil shocks as some are pretty darn good and would be so much better with the oil shocks out of the box!
Awesome little RC car. I got two of these as well and really love them. I did a review of them in Dutch (yeah, I'm from The Netherlands) on my channel. Keep up the good work Kevin!
Hi Kevin. I just made the exact same upgrades to my Rampage with the same steel drive shafts. After reassembling everything, the car doesn't have the same turning radius. I was wondering if you encountered this same issue and went back to plastic in the front, or do you think I need to check how I reassembled it. It seemed pretty straightforward though. I love the channel.
Any dea where to get these add-ons for cheap? See the shocks are about $20 and the axles just slightly cheaper. Not sure about putting $40 into a $50 dollar car.
Hey brother that is a badass little truck I got my grandson the smax it's still in the mail I wonder if these upgrades would work on it always a big thumbs up bro you have a good one man happy holidays brother👊👊👍👍👍👍❤🤙🤙
Need to order some of those drive shafts for my buggy, mine currently are more of a traditional style with a dog bone and cup setup. Love the upgrades you do, little tweak goes a long way.
Nice upgrades! I have to say just looking this rc from a picture it looks like a way larger scale. Thanks for sharin! How does someone can find your ebay shop?
Great video Kevin! I am doing a brushless conversion on mine now. I am looking for a main driveshaft upgrade and was wondering if anyone knows where I can find one.
I really like your video's, but in this case I'm really missing a part of this modified Rampage. The outdoor or skatepark review. I would really like the comparison between those 2 in the wild, speed test and if it would break with the more power it got on 2s. Thank you very much!
I've got an HBX Ratchet coming soon, might see if I can do these on it; I know the shocks will at least keep it from getting jammed in sand, but what is the benefit to upgrading the drive shafts, aside from the obvious that metal is sturdier than plastic?

For some who is just barely getting their first rc, your channel is a gold mine. So entertaining and informative.

ThatBrick Films yeah more budget rc’s would be great!!

The suspension really improved a lot. Really reccomend this.
Thanks, Kevin! I've been on the fence for buying this truck, but after seeing this video, I'm gonna make the purchase! Keep the great vids coming!
Kevin you should attempt the worlds longest rc jump🤘🏻👍
yes!
With the 8s rustler 😱😱😱
It would be cool
Dude so great and affordable to do hope to see more of these types videos in the future keep up the great work 👍🏼👌🏼
Not even the same truck..!! Even does a back flip.! Well Done Kev.!
Yours channel is the best on YT
The wltoys a959 is £31 on eBay which is cheaper than this. Is this really better than the wltoys a959 or a979
What website can I find the shocks and axles? I am having a hard time finding those parts on the internet...
Looks like some much needed upgrades and that's awesome that they're available for the rampage. Great vid Kev
Just picked one up, I love this truck. Thanks Kev. Peace my brother. Yo yo yo whats up Pat, always a pleasure sir. Later dudes
Best channel on youtube.
Yes
Thanks buddy :)
:) you deserve the 200k subs, up next 1 mil:)
kev your da best youtuber out there
Hey Kevin did you have to add oil to the shocks? If so what did you use?
Love how stoked you are in this video, nice! Thx for the info
Demolition derby would be sick. You are the best, my fav
Cheers for showing us these vids kev they help all budget Rn drivers out! Cant se the Xmaxx and slash out again 👍
Very cool upgrade. I think you chose very good, axles, shocks and battery. Excellent!
Waiting for the wl toys 12428 best cheap mod. Nice work Kev, taking into consideration those who can't afford expensive RCs but love the hobby and can only afford the cheap ones.
Finally no joke I have been searching for some videos because I got one for Christmas and I have been wanting to upgrade it
U r my favourite TH-camr and u deserve as many subs as pewdiepie
Udr plz. Upgrades and drive it like its suppose to. Plz. Not enough on the interweb's.
Nice video kev 👍 well done 😎

not had that problem, make sure it rolls freely!

If you had to choose, would you recommend this or the wltoys 1/18 truck

Tumble wumble and tumbely wumbely. I noticed the music at the end. I like it.
Woww...modifica molto interessante...bel lavoro ... ciao Kewin
The music is awesome Kevin, you should use it more often.
Happy New Year ✌
can you do a comparison vid on the hbx rampage vs wltoys a979-b just things like overall build and size, i know motor wise a979b has a bigger motor.
Are the upgraded shocks (HBX part 18601) pre-filled? What’s the weight of the oil?
Really nice vid kev 👍
Question, does the esc cut off the voltage properly (is there a setting perhaps on the esc too change that ?)
Or do you have too keep an eye out for that yourself or get a lipo buzzer as lithium ion cells which the stock battery is made of has a lower cutoff voltage that will damage lipo batteries or were they generous with the voltage cutoff from the get go so it works with both relatively safely ?

Having a lot of fun Kev happy new year
😁👍 Nice hop ups! I wish most of the faster toy grades came with oil shocks as some are pretty darn good and would be so much better with the oil shocks out of the box!
thanks for the video Kev!! be purchasing one soon and doing the upgrades!!
Kev, remember when you said you where going to put 1/10 tires on the wltoys a959b
Awesome little RC car. I got two of these as well and really love them. I did a review of them in Dutch (yeah, I'm from The Netherlands) on my channel. Keep up the good work Kevin!
Just in time now I have something to watch while working on my Rc’s👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Just ordered myself two of those Lipo batteries for my Hbx Rampage
Thanks for the tip 👌
hey dude where did you buy those parts from thanks
Man takes over volted to another level
Yeah, cool little ones. Good upgrades. Especially the shocks.
Every new scene “AAALLLRIIGHHTTT GUYSSS” 😂
Can you use any 1/18 parts on the rampage
how much did the upgrades cost you & where did you get them ?
Where can I find that shocks?
Links for the upgrades/accessories would be awesome?? Cant's seem to find them on banggood?
I've also been looking for it
@@riaanbotes easy enough to find on aliexpress. nothing on banggood though.
Just made my rampage brushless
No need to upgrade the
Gears
Driveshaft
And battery
It Can nearly do a standing backflip
Details please!
@@JayDauglash you need:
a 2440 size brushless motor 4000kv
a 9g three-wire servo
a 35 amp ESC
a new receiver
and some connectors
Just a kid do you have pics of this . I’m interest in doing this for my kids truck
@@auno1647 too moch power man
Hey Kevin what website did you get the hbx 1:18 upgrades?
where yuo buy metal drive shaft?
This hss probably been asked and answered before, but why not get a head/chest mounting strap for a gopro?
Kev: brushless power
TH-cam closed captions:Brushless Pat
Hey kev can you please let me know what grease you use for your rc cars?!
Hi Kevin. I just made the exact same upgrades to my Rampage with the same steel drive shafts. After reassembling everything, the car doesn't have the same turning radius. I was wondering if you encountered this same issue and went back to plastic in the front, or do you think I need to check how I reassembled it. It seemed pretty straightforward though.

Where did you get those shocks mine need new ones and if I get replacement shocks I want them to last
Any dea where to get these add-ons for cheap? See the shocks are about $20 and the axles just slightly cheaper. Not sure about putting $40 into a $50 dollar car.
Hey so did you buy different wheels or did you use the same ones? Becasue your replaces the drive shafts and the old ones weren’t hex drives.
same wheels dude
Hey brother that is a badass little truck I got my grandson the smax it's still in the mail I wonder if these upgrades would work on it always a big thumbs up bro you have a good one man happy holidays brother👊👊👍👍👍👍❤🤙🤙
Hi Kevin! What's the mods hi have to do to install those shocks on my A979-B?
Beside what you upload in the video can you upgrade anything else and if theirs a video of it
Love what your doing keep up the good work
Hey Kev I recently got a slash 4x4 what is the main weakspot when our bashing in your opinion
driveshafts
Need to order some of those drive shafts for my buggy, mine currently are more of a traditional style with a dog bone and cup setup.
Love the upgrades you do, little tweak goes a long way.
Is there any link for the driveshafts I cannot find them
I hope you will get 300k SUBS
I have the green version and run it on a lipo it's super strong I love it awesome video kev
Hey Kev what’s a better value the wltoys a959b or this truck there about the same price
thats a tough one they are both great cars for the money
Hay Kev can you put the battery that’s on the a959b car on the cross country rc car in a video
can you post a link to the parts? i could only find the shocks but for $30. $30 for shocks on a truck I spent $50 on seems kind of high.
Hi Kevin..where can i purchase those metal driveshafts for the hbx 1/18 rampage?
Thanks man!
Awesome as usual!
Nice upgrades! I have to say just looking this rc from a picture it looks like a way larger scale. Thanks for sharin!
How does someone can find your ebay shop?
Very nice Video!
I agree Workshop Videos are very very nice!
Thanks
Can you wire two lipos into one fore extra power?
hey have you seen the 2020 model of the rampage its a bit bigger
Can you look at the light hawk monster trucks they take a beating and are good lightning quick brushed trucks
Great video Kevin! I am doing a brushless conversion on mine now. I am looking for a main driveshaft upgrade and was wondering if anyone knows where I can find one.
What motor and esc combo are you going to use ??
I just got mine today and looking to add these upgrades, I was also curious if it’s possible for different tires? I searched but came up empty handed.
i did a setup sorta like this, its a dromida 1/18 MT with a brushless kit off ebay, it runs 3 cell but eats its axles and gears
I really like your video's, but in this case I'm really missing a part of this modified Rampage. The outdoor or skatepark review.
I would really like the comparison between those 2 in the wild, speed test and if it would break with the more power it got on 2s.
Thank you very much!
Is it safe to use a lipo in this car? Does it auto detect lipos?
Hello favourite TH-camr!
Hey I'm new to the rc world I have a 1/18 car where did u order those shock absorber
I've got an HBX Ratchet coming soon, might see if I can do these on it; I know the shocks will at least keep it from getting jammed in sand, but what is the benefit to upgrading the drive shafts, aside from the obvious that metal is sturdier than plastic?
Kev can you plz send me a link where you can buy the shocks because I really need them plz reply
WoooooooooW bro very nice!
I really need some of those shocks and would love to know where to get them I broke one of my first ones bashing please let me know
Where can I buy them parts ? ツ
What is the part number for the drive shafts Iv been looking for days now! Thank you
