What do you think of the FC610? It's cheap, has lots of metal bits but is it better for a beginner than something like a wltoys 144001? Coming soon we have the HBX 901a and 903 vanguard 😎👍 be sure to subscribe if you haven't already! 2022 is going to be massive!
After owning one for 3 months I can assure this is a high quality product and would buy it again even if it was double the price I paid for. The other day, due to a beach run, I had to open the car and clean all the transmission. The metal used is strong and excellent quality and even with sand grinding gears they were spotless. The motor is not fast but very strong and you can make tires squeeze on some surfaces (not the original ones). Also, lighting and body makes this rx look really good. Electronics with no fault at all, except when a wave at the beach covered the left side of the car and servo stopped working due to a Short circuit. After cleaning the esc and wd40 voila, everything working again! also servo is relatively fast and strong enough. This car is so high quality that is being modded to brushless with crazy power and still holds like a pro.
Sorry to hear of your illness but glad you are on the mend. Merry belated Christmas to you and yours. I pretty much like anything from Haiboxing. Good solid budget models IMO.
Finally on the mend thanks Rick! Same to you and yours! I have always liked the HBX stuff and this is closely related if anything just another re branded hbx. 😎👍
Nice looking little truck, and at last, it seems like the manufacturers are listening to their customers, putting oil shocks on their cars. I know, if my son hadn't got more expensive cars, he'd love this. A good starter car, as you said. Good to see you back after your dose of Covid. I'm sitting in isolation, waiting for my PCR result after getting a positive lateral flow test this morning!! Thankfully, I feel fine!! Merry Christmas, eh. 🤪👍🏻
Its a decent little truck Rob especially for the money i think it looks great. Oil shocks should be a standard thing and im sure people would pay slightly more to have them as a standard feature. Its good to be back! Oh no! I hope you are okay it hit me pretty hard was in bed 3 days straight! Yeah merry Christmas haha!
I just received mine today and for my 1st basher/monster truck im.very happy with this performance as a beginner. Only issue i thinks is the rear shocks are way softer than the front so i guess we need to check the oil inside. Thx for your review.
Hi matey, what the battery tray size in length in cm assuming that the brushed esc has been removed to leave all the space for bigger/longer battery. Tnx
we got one of these flyhal trucks , haven't used it yet, but we got the haiboxing 2995 witch is almost the same thing, got big tires and a 5200kv brushless on 3s, can't even do a speed test, it's too fast,
the transmitter looks exactly the same as the ftx tracer 1 Does it also have problems in reverse ? I've already ordered the dumborc set from banggood for the tracer
A lot of the ftx models are just rebranded it's a similar story with absima. They take the decent Chinese made cars like hbx and stick their name on them. No issues in reverse at the moment. They are very cheaply made Transmitters. The dumbo ones are awesome 👍😎
Great review Ricky I think this truck looks really good,and for the money it's well worth it . If you can overlook the silly claims of speed and size and take it for what it is for the money it still seems a decent truck.CHEERS MATE.
Nice! How much beating can it take, say compared to the tough little cousin HBX 16889a Pro? Essentially what I am looking for is a 1/12 or 1/10 scale analogy of the HBX 16889a Pro (so brushless Li-Po, oil-filled shocks, metal driveshaft and gearboxes/diffs, done properly). And above all, good ground clearance, so no buggy or truggy. I do not need a speed demon though. Any suitable models to look into?
I think it will be up there durability wise with the 16889a Pro but it lacks the power of that truck! Have you checked out the new HBX 901A? It's 1/12, brushless, oil shocks, metal driveshafts etc. I have it here and will be posting that video very soon! I think you'll like it!
@@beyondRC already watched some videos on it and though I do like truck bodies better, that one just might win me over! Will check your video out once it arrives!
Hello. Just got round to watching your video after you commented on mine. Excellent stuff! But i will say the one i got does appear to be a bit quicker than yours. I know its difficult to tell off the video but yours does appear to be a little slower. 👍👍
@@beyondRC I did'nt just going off the way it runs in the video. Theres a bloke over the road with one so i might pinch it and try it just for S##ts and giggles.
Great Video BeyondRC. What would you pick out of the HBX 16889A Pro or this one, I am thinking of buying the HBX purely because faster and orange body looks great too
Absolutely its a rebranded HBX and I do refer back to HBX a lot in the vid. I think it is loosely based on the HBX 2995 maybe.. Not 100% sure but even the transmitter is still branded as HBX! Thanks :)
Hello bud, oh no lol, as soon as I see these kind of models have the stupidly small batteries for a so called 1/10 scale is right away gets my back up, as you say why do these manufacturers feel the need to lie about the size? Do they think we are that stupid or are they just that blatant in lying? Why can’t they just call the model for what it is, 1/12 or 1/14 scale.. for the money it’s not that bad at all surely they should realise there lie hinder more then help them. They should just advertise it is for what it is and people will like it.. 😂 sorry for the rant mate it just bugs the heck out of me lol.. I hope you and family had a nice Christmas buddy? and glad to see your on the mend👍 happy rcing..
Hello mate! I know exactly what you mean and have had a similar conversation with fellow RC youtuber Matthew simm over this whole situation. Tell us the true size and speed the product will do. None of us are silly enough to believe certain claims and I have no idea why they do it but it's an issue that's getting worse unfortunately. Someone who knows nothing about RC and doesn't check reviews first online would be very disappointed. I get its a way to market the product and sell more but its false advertising. This along with many other products I've tried in the past turn out to be decent little machines for beginners and I would be happy to recommend most but the lies have to stop. Cheers mate hope you had a great Christmas.

Looks near identical to the 903 Vanguard ?
it's a great option with the oil filled shocks and looks skatepark proofish
@@patmarcus172 it's a 2995 with a differnt body

Yes id agree after testing a few HBX's they do seem to produce a good quality budget RC!
Great review glad to see your back and feeling better
Good to be back! 👍😎

Flyhal stuff so far seems good, thanks for your upload mate 👍🙏🐱🐈
No problem 👍 Seems decent for the money
Nice budget truck glad to see you feeling better 👍🤟
A lot better! it's good to be back 😎👍👍
Hi matey, what the battery tray size in length in cm assuming that the brushed esc has been removed to leave all the space for bigger/longer battery. Tnx
Hbx should build a big 5th scale truck
Hey I just looked on EBay the price on thisRc is 157.00, comes with 2 batteries, ?
VERY SOLID RC,SO FAR SO GOOD I DRIVE IT FOR THE LAST 4 MONTHS ,GREAT VALUE FOR MONEY,RELIABLE AND I RECOMMEND IT HANDS DOWN!!!
Great to hear!
The third diff stands out from wltoys..and this is a quality statement..only high end rc cars incorporate a center diff..
would have been good to show it against a 1/12. I think you're right, wheelbase is a couple of mm less than a wltoys 1/12 buggy
Great vídeo review and truck Bro! Have a Nice weekend!
Cheers bro! Have a good weekend 😎👍
Reminds me of Himoto Bowie
we got one of these flyhal trucks , haven't used it yet, but we got the haiboxing 2995 witch is almost the same thing, got big tires and a 5200kv brushless on 3s, can't even do a speed test, it's too fast,
Look nice. And for this price more. I hope u ok for the virus man. This is the most important. Cheers from Thailand!!!
I am much better now thanks! A couple of days were rough but thankfully feel good now!
@@beyondRC nice to ear that. I wish u good recover.
HBX based vehicles are a great overall package. Tough and reliable. I Can't understand why UK shipping is so expensive now.
Not sure why Dominic I have noticed this too! Cheers
Brexit. --> There is no UK based warehouse, only China, US and EU.
the transmitter looks exactly the same as the ftx tracer 1
Does it also have problems in reverse ?
I've already ordered the dumborc set from banggood for the tracer

Actually looks really cool that like

Cheers Brad! Not a bad truck at all especially for the money. Just wish these cheap brands would stop with the speed claims etc
Great honest review. Would be good for the money but Bangbad charge too much for UK shipping now.
not sure why its so expensive now!
You forgot to mention that for it's price point it also comes with center differential that can only be found on expensive models. 🙂

Very odd that! Did you GPS Speed test yours? Cheers mate good to see you have stopped by!
@@beyondRC I did'nt just going off the way it runs in the video. Theres a bloke over the road with one so i might pinch it and try it just for S##ts and giggles.
When I looked at the thumbnail of this video, I thought the car was a arrma granite 4x4 before reading the title of the video. Niceee:)
Awesome looking truck for the money! 😎👍
Great Video BeyondRC. What would you pick out of the HBX 16889A Pro or this one, I am thinking of buying the HBX purely because faster and orange body looks great too
HBX16889A Pro for sure! Its smaller but it will be a lot quicker and just as durable. My 16889 has taken some serious abuse!
Are the diifs greased out the box or is it like wltoys where you have to do their job yourself? Have one coming, enjoy your reviews!
😮Amazing TRUCK ,cant believe its 70 quid, 🤠🇬🇧🙏👍
cool rc and nice review
Thanks! 👍
The car looks like a rebranded HBX🤔doesn’t it? Nice video Bro 👊
Absolutely its a rebranded HBX and I do refer back to HBX a lot in the vid. I think it is loosely based on the HBX 2995 maybe.. Not 100% sure but even the transmitter is still branded as HBX! Thanks :)
@@beyondRC I think it’s just a 2995 with other body shell
I think so 😎👍
Brushless with 3 s the thing would be a great rc !!
I think so too!
i got a similar truck with 3s 5200kv brushless, it's fast
Put a 3s in it
The punishment these haiboxing rigs take is impressive, there much better than wltoys in my experience got the 889 It can’t be broken
