- In this video we Test Drive the latest version of the Haiboxing / HBX 16889 1/16 scale 4WD Racing Truck.
The day was cold and wet, and we were running out of light, but I think we gave the 16889 a good bashing - covering all surfaces, grass, road, sand and a big puddle of water! The truck performed faultlessly, and nothing broke, in fact it had hardly a scratch! I also give a quick review of the truck's performance at the end of this short video.
This Ready To Run (RTR) RC Truck is available at a very reasonable price, worldwide - just search for "Haiboxing 16889" on the internet and you will be sure to come up with many sellers offering this RC Truck, just make sure it's the latest version with the 2 Lipo batteries!
Many thanks to my good friend, Rob Brennan RC, for the help making this video.

Now that was spot on camera work mark and rob you nailed it I liked how the water was flicking up and that jump out of the sand pit oh yes sir she is definitely got some power this is definitely one little car that is definitely not camera shy brilliant going bro 👍👍👍👍👍👍
Cheers my man Kirkster - we had a share of the driving and filming, but it all came together quite well, I think. Rob did most of the tracking shots with the camera on a stick! Yeah, the little truck is a beast - plenty of power to have some fun with. Haha, I don't think any of my RC's are allowed to be camera shy, mate!!! Take care, dude! :O)
Fantastic videography as always gentlemen! You gave it a proper bash across all surfaces!👍😊
It really is a nice little truck for the money! Well done Mark!😃
Thanks very much, Jeremy! 👍 We did give it a good test didn't we?!?!?! And it came out without a scratch - definitely a little bargain truck, I'm so glad they sent it me for test or I would never know just how much fun these little bashers are! Very best wishes to you my good friend - take it easy! :O)
the back flip was cool.
Thanks, Bob - it was a total fluke my friend! :O)
Just a full grown man playing in the mud. Love it, keep up the great vids.
Thanks Bob! 👍 You got me there - definitely like a kid with a new toy!!! All the best - cheers! :)
Bloody Fantastic Bashing Brother, new you would love it, 😍 Loved your Flip on the 1 minute 😀 landed on its feet loads off times 😄 awesome editing as always bro 👍 Fantastic on all stock 👍 i have a golf course right were I live but I think its been open 🤔 am going to check on the weekend when am off. Anyhoo I really enjoyed your first Run and now am going to watch your other video now 👍😄😁👍 have a great week ahead Brother 👍😍😎👍
Thank you so much my mate Tony! 👍
Yeah, it's a bostin little truck, and better than I expected. It really takes the abuse well, still looks like new after tons of bashing and nothing even scratched! You should try and raid a golf course, they are perfect places for RCing - lovely short grass and cool bunkers to jump into! Take it easy, Bro! :O)
Great work - I love the back flip near the beginning, and Rob did an excellent job of captring tracking footage.
Good old HBX!
Hiya, Del! Cheers for the kind words, dude - yeah we had a few flips and tricks from this little beast - plenty left on the cutting room floor! Tried to keep it short as my run videos don't seem to get much viewer retention! Rob truly did a great job with the camera on a stick - we swapped over a few times so I had a go too - wears us out running after these little cars - too old mate! :O)
@@MarkBryanRC It´s knackering, isn´t it?
Viewers are a fickle bunch, and strangely unappreciative on the whole. It can be a tad demoralising, as we´ve discussed before. Still, as long as a small proportion do value the time and trouble we put in, it´s worth it : )
@@Del350K4 Well said, Del! As you said, it is worth it for those that appreciate the effort. Thankfully, we do! :)
@@MarkBryanRC I went out to record some footage of an RC boat today. I got stuck in the mud, flailed my arms to prevent myself from falling, and dropped my Tx in the water. After that it reversed all the controls, so I carried on like that. Then the wind blew my parked motorbike over, the prop started spinning on the shaft whenever I gave it some wellie, and I fell over and got covered in mud. I arrived home frozen stiff with a broken boat and a fried transmitter, had to wash my trousers in a wheelbarrow and wash my wife´s bike before she sees it.
But I got the footage!
@@Del350K4 OMG! When things go wrong, they REALLY go wrong - I know the feeling well! Haha, would love to see the video of you washing your kegs in a wheelbarrow!!! Hope I get to see the RC boat footage, though - well done - all in the name of video-making! :)
Wow Mark, that is one POWERFUL Monster of a truck! It acted like a Monster Race Truck and blew me away with all of those tricks! Actually, I know the driver had more to do with that! Fantastic driving Mark! You make it look like so much fun! Love the spray action of the water and the giant mud puddle you put it through was amazing! If I am fortunate enough to get this one from Santa, I think my first run will be in the park also, if I try it in the backyard, I might run it into the pool and that would be a disaster 😱😂. I would void the warranty for sure, lol. Thanks so much for this demo run, you did an awesome job as always!!👏👏🏁🎯🏆 Can't wait for Christimas! Like a little kid for sure, lol!
Thanks so very much, Christine! Yes, this little truck is a baby monster! Plenty of power and very tough, too. Hehe, I just pulled the trigger, and the truck did all the stunts! The wet ground was so much fun to drive on, and was a treat for the camera with all the droplets flying into the air. Yeah, best to give this one a little room for playing, don't want to end up submerged in the pool! Remember, all little kids get what they deserve! All the best, my good friend over the pond! :O)
@@MarkBryanRC thank you Mark, I hope I can pull the trigger and see some stunts, haha. I have time to watch some “how to drive videos “ before Santa gets here. Thanks again my friend!🙋♀️👍
@@4cmjohn8 You are always very welcome, Christine! :)
we love that little truck!!
Thanks, buddy - it sure is a great little basher! Cheers! :O)
Hi guys, that’s a great going wee truck, looks good, drives good and best of all....it handles everything thrown at it. Niiiiiiiiiiice video guys. 😎👍👍👍🇬🇧
Thanks, Mikey Mike! 👍 I've gotta say, this thing surprised me by how much fun it was! Thrashed the hell out of it many times now, and it still looks and runs like new! All the best, dude! Cheers! :)
Well Mark. I have to say that this little rig is a great starter platform for anyone wanting to get into the hobby. Thanks for sharing and the great overview of this thing.. :)
Couldn't agree more, Nick! This thing has everything going for it at about $65! I was really pleasantly surprised at how well it runs, and boy, it's tough! Thanks for taking the time to watch and comment, always appreciated my good friend - take care, bud! :O)
Nice bash mark these are really allot of fun to drive 💯
Thanks, Brent! 👍 Too right my friend, now one of my favourite bashers, and small enough to take and run almost anywhere! All the best, dude, take care! :)
Certainly looks like a lot of fun!
I'm still considering them - but decided on the Kamtec Bangers for my Grandbabies. 😊 They live in a Cul-de-Sac, so they can have a lot of fun with On-Roaders.
Getting one for me as well...
If you want, I'll get you and Rob one as well. 😊
That little thing is surprisingly good though!! 👍👍
Carmine ✈🚂🚙
Hiya, Mukka!
It sure is a lot of fun, better than even I expected! But yeah, those Kamtec Bangers are awesome and value for money, too. Thanks for the offer! But it's OK, I was thinking of getting one soon anyway, Rob and I could have some new adventures with them and then share them on TH-cam!
Take care, mon ami - all the best from Mark... :O)
I was serious about that offer. Me Mukka, you've been nothing but good to me! If there's ever anything I can do, please ask.
They do look like a lot of fun, don't they?
Well that was a bit of a soggy experience mate. On the golf green I thought I would sink if I didn't keep moving my feet hehe. Great review dude. I have been looking at some different makes of 1/16 buggies to potentially do some comparisons with you but it seems that other than the body styles the chassis look identical oh well we will have to see. Stay safe mate and hopefully see you Sunday.
Thanks Dude! 👍 Yeah, should have worn our wellies! At least the golfists were away and we could really play, we got some good footage in the short time we were there. Yeah, lots of these 1.16 trucks are very similar, lots of re-branding I think. Fingers crossed for Sunday, too! :O)
Looking very nice with that wather spray, quick car mark👍
Yes, it is a speedy little truck, Fons! It was great fun splashing along in the wet grass - and jumping into the sand! Thanks for watching, my good friend! :)
Hi Mark, what a great robust little truck! I'm amazed at the performance and capabilities of the truck in standard form. Excellent review from the dynamic duo😉👌👍looking forward the the upgrades. Until next time, keep safe and well 😉
Thanks my good friend, John! Sure is a tough little blighter! It took all I threw at it and bounced back for more. Not just saying it, but it really made me smile, so good for a few quid, ready to run. Thanks for the kind words as always, a pleasure! Take it easy and take care too, John. 👍
😁👍 Nice thrashing you gave it Mark!! These things are tough little buggers! I felt the same way on the shocks for some reason they worked very well on this truck.
You got that right, Steve! Yeah, for some reason, the friction shocks seem to have more damping than others, not too bouncy at all! And yeah, I tried to break it, but it just kept going. All the best, my friend! :O)
Good run, Mark! Looked amazing with the splashing water and the sun! And what a great location with the jumps and such. I have managed to get mine out too. Had to give up waiting for a day off with actual sun shine though :-) ... and yes, Keep 'em Running ;-)
Glad you enjoyed it, Mikael - we were lucky with the conditions, I thought it would be poor light for the camera, but it worked out OK, just! That golf course it a fun RC place to run, wish we could use it all of the time, some perfect terrain for the trucks. Glad you got time to run yours, too, yeah, sunshine is rare this time of year. Oh, yeah, sorry I stole your saying, it's just too good not to! All the best, my mate! :O)
Hiya matey. Ooh a mid week video release! You got some brilliant shots of this little truck mate. Makes such a difference to get a bit of sunshine in the video. It looks like a real hoot to drive. Hard to tell that it's so little when you aren't holding it. It's like a baby Arrma Granite. The thing that puts me off these little ones is the limited space for standard electronics. If you have a 1/10 scale then you know that there is a whole bunch of electronics that will fit in it. Anyway be good to see how it goes with the oil shocks. I know that the WLtoys buggies handle really well. So you obviously videoed that while it was lockdown and the golfists weren't there. Is it out of bounds when it's open for golf? Anyway, hope your quarantine is going ok. I'm sure you're keeping busy. Cheers for now mate 😀
Hiya Pete! Yeah, well I got all this spare time at the minute, so put to good use on the editing - also filmed the completion of my SCA-1E Carisma truck. Took blooming ages, a lot trickier than a Tamiya, I can tell you! Great point you made about this HBX being like a baby Arrma Granite - I totally see what you mean. This thing is as tough as nails, not even a mark on it after about 8 battery runs of abuse! I'm not worried about the electronics as I'm not looking to change anything, and the standard bits are cheap as chips if anything does go wrong, but I do see what you mean.
Yes, this was filmed a couple of weeks ago, no golfists allowed, but when they are back I can try to get a few sneaky runs in between each golfer, but they don't seem to like us being there, although it is a public place! I'm doing OK, thanks mate - hope you are too - cheers! :O)
@@MarkBryanRC Look forward to seeing that Carisma truck done. Good to have something to challenge you a bit. Glad you are doing ok. I keep hoping that the NHS app will tell me to stay home for 2 weeks but nothing yet sadly. When are you back in? Not long till Xmas hols now so hopefully not too much more work this year :-)
Great RC vid Mark, the slow motion with the water looked great. I liked the slide with the cartoon face on the tailgate! Overall this little Monster Truck is a performer. Always like you film and you use the static camera nicely. Take care Bro!
Thanks, Paul! 👍 We were just lucky the sun didn't go completely down whilst filming, but it gave some cool effects with the water droplets - more luck than judgement! Glad you pointed out that slide into the camera, it took ages to get that one!!! Thanks for the positive words, Brother, it means a lot to me. Take it easy, my friend! :)
Brilliant stuff Mark, again too many cool moments of footage to mention. I'm amazed that you can get this level of performance from something so inexpensive. Superb video from start to finish, I didn't want this one to end and look forward to this RC making more appearences in the future. In some ways the truck reminded me of a pygmy X-Maxx, as it seemed to be able to take anything thrown at it, like Traxxas's flagship RC, but with a huge price difference. I used to have a 1/16 Maverick Ion rally which also cut out in the wet, although it never got this wet. Great stuff, really enjoyed this video. Meanwhile guess no 4 - ahem, cough, splutter - VANQUISH.....😉.
Hiya mate! So good to read you didn't want it to end, my retention and view time stats for run videos are blooming awful! I do try to fill them with interesting clips and not all of one long clip. I agree with the mini-xmaxx or "baby Arrm Granite" as Pete Wylie said! Definitely a likeness, albeit in a tiny scale. Tough as old boots, too - it's taken a real thrashing, many crashes and not a scratch! As for your unboxing buggy guesses, I think you may be (cough, splutter) disappointed :-/
But it is a Tamiya, after all! All the best, dude, take it easy. :)
@@MarkBryanRC Hey dude, genuinely surprised to learn that some viewers click out of your run videos early. TH-cam can be a cruel mistress. Why bother clicking on a 3 minute video and then decide enough is enough halfway through ? Disappointing to hear ! 4/4 incorrect guesses ! What ! Ok, so next I'm going for a Dark Impact...🤯. I'll get there in the end......
@@thecontractor365 IDK, dude, perhaps all these RC video viewers expect to see the cars explode in the first 30 seconds, or a naked woman running in front of the action!
One of my best is the Audi Quattro First Run - a 4 minute vid with an average viewtime of 1 minute 10 seconds! As you say, TH-cam can be a cruel mistress. Can't complain, I'm happy the vids are doing well, and some people do appreciate the effort, which makes it all very worthwhile for me. Ooh, your guesses are all very good, but you did ask me not to tell! :O)
Such a cool truck! What do you think the top speed is Mark?
I love it, Chris! I was surprised at how good this thing was, it's like a baby Arrma! For only $65 ready to go, it's a steal! It really accelerates well, but I think it's geared low, so I reckon it will struggle to hit 20mph. Speed test coming soon - all the best my great NY friend! :O)
@@MarkBryanRC Very cool mark, great to hear. Looking forward to that speed test.
Nice video!
I like the 16889 a lot. Really hard to beat for the price!
Cheers, man! Gotta agree - this thing is a ton of fun and as hard as nails, and for £60 it's hard not to like! :)
Great rc Car 🤙 thxxx and ceya
Sure is a good car! Thanks!
Great video and a great channel I've subbed, I also have this car its awesome 👌
Thank you! I see you have the brushless version - even better than mine! 👍
Great footage!
Thank you very much! It really was a blast to run! Big smiles all round, and that's what this hobby is all about! Cheers! :)
Hiya matey. Very nice video of this little truck. So I'm getting a bit confused about the difference between the trucks that you got sent. Is one smaller than the other? They look like good fun anyway and you can't knock the value. Golf course looked great without the pesky golfists. So I hope you are enjoying half term so far. I don't think that any rules are changing this week so be a quiet one I guess. I'm still fiddling with my Willy which is keeping me occupied. Best wishes to you my friend and enjoy the rest of the week 😁
Hi again mate. I've realised that this video came out a while back. It popped up on my home page so I thought it was new. I realised that it had been shot pre lockdown but thought it was some footage you'd held back. I did think that I'd seen a similar one but thought it was the other truck you got sent. Anyway, happy Monday to you mate :-)
Hiya Pete - hope all is well on the South Coast. Oh man, it's confusing enough for me, without you getting confused, and they are MY trucks!! It's our age, matey! Glad you watched this one again, you are spoiling me! (TBH I do have a watch of some of your older vids now and again, never get bored of a good RC bash). These HBX have the scale in the first 2 numbers of the model - 16889 is 1/16 and 18889 is 1/18, although in reality there is only a few mm in it (oh er missus).
Just finished the DF03, a few teething problems with the alloy parts, nothing a file can't solve! Hope your willy fiddling is as enjoyable as it was back in the day! Thanks a ton for the kind words and best wishes back to you - cheers, mate. :)
Big like my friend#36👍
Thank you! Cheers!
Great video Mark! What's the wheelbase on this truck?
Hey Steve - great to read you! Hope all is OK! I think the wheelbase is 175mm, it's a great size truck, not too big and not too small. All the best, my friend! :)
@@MarkBryanRC Thanks Mark! Yes, we're all hanging in there. I hope the same for you and your family!
@@pastimesteve Good to hear, Steve - thanks for the good wishes too! :)
I love the car! I would like to buy 1 or a redcat volcan 16, I am very interested in knowing how many game cycles the stock Esc 2-1 will last without burning out... does it still have the same original electronics working in 2024? greetings friend! The car is economical but its price makes me doubt a little about the duration of the stock esc and servo.... :) I have hardly seen videos that talk about this car after 1 year of use, usually everyone focuses on talking about the car fresh out of the box😊
Hi and thanks for the great comment! Yes it's a great little car and is still going strong today, no issues with the electronics at all, even after submerging it a few times! Servo is fine also. In fact nothing had broken at all. I agree, we don't see many long term reviews, it's something I'm going to do more of. Greetings to you too! 😎👊👍
So I’m thinking of buying one and is this one able to go threw mud because I really want to go mudding and I really like this can you give me a tip on how to clean it and you taking it threw mud
It should be OK in a little mud, but not too deep as it will strain the motor and ESC!!! I always clean mine with soapy water and spray with WD40 after. All the best! :)
Can you but this ready packed with lipo or is that always a seperate purchase.
Hi - The car comes ready to run, including controller, charger and LiPo batteries. I got 2 LiPo's with mine. Check out the deals available on-line to make sure as I think some sellers take out the second battery!
@@MarkBryanRC Was looking on banggood but all seem to be lithium batteries.
I just had a look too - yes, they all seem to come with Li-ion batteries, they must have changed the spec. However, Li-ion are safer than LiPo, plus they seem to give good power.
It is brushless or brushed? Thanks
Hi - this is the brushed version, but you can get it with a brushless motor, too. Cheers! :)
Which one is best brushed or brushless
I haven't tried the brushless version - this one is excellent - so I imagine the brushless will be much faster, and may be more fun! :)
Is it brushless or brushed
This one is brushed, my friend. Seasons Greetings to you! :O)
