These are pretty stout and stellar runners. I have the MT version of this (the X16 )which shares the same chassis and brushless 2212 outrunner this has in it. All I can say is these are a ton of fun and definitely bash worthy. On 3s though, you will strip out those plastic drive cups rather quickly. I’ve already had to replace 2 of them already. Everything else is holding up great and I find the servo to have a slight delay or maybe it’s just a tad too slow. I put oil filled shocks immediately on mine and they made night and day difference! The nice thing is, that because the X16 was released earlier this year, that means parts are readily available for both x15 and 16 on Amazon at great prices too! Loved the chase down with the drone! Nice flying my friend! ✈️🚁🛸😎👍🏻
Got this car, drove it twice, and it lit on fire. It was absolutely awesome while it worked but disappointing how it ended. The Reciever ESC burst into flames on the stock 2S battery🔥🔥🔥
This right here is pretty sick. Surprised to see it using an out runner motor. Set of decent shocks will have it running right. Great showcase boys. 🤘🏻
Great review! Some people have had bad experiences with hosim but when you consider budget off brand rc’s I think they are one of the better options. That’s because with the x07 & x08 they had drag brake and other issues when they first came out and they went and addressed those. Now they are expanding their line and putting out something unique to them instead of just rebranding a hyper go (even though they do that) it’s just nice to see. Do they have issues yes but it’s nice to see their approach in the budget market
I have the X-O8 and my wife has the X-O7. They still have a slight braking problem when you barely press on the throttle. I wish they would fix that. I would get this car but it seems to have the same problems. It's terrible on the gearing. If they would make a budget basher with a center differential, I would definitely consider that. They have the Venum, but that's a little out of my price range at the moment. Keep up the good work with your channel! I need to put more content out on my channel. I'm failing at that. I'm limited to places to bash. I'm not sure if you are subscribed to my channel or not but if not, please do and thank you in advance. I watch all of your videos and like I was saying, keep up the good work!! 👍
200 + dollars isn't budget friendly. I spent 229 on my x08, then 400 more on parts. It was the worst buy I've ever made. Diffs are trash, drivetrains are trash, esc is trash, the wheel on the transmitter broke after just a couple of uses, I spent more money on that r.c. than any of my r.cs combined. Absolutely garbage.
I feel like I should have known that having drone experience, but I just didn't realize one of those little motors could pack that much punch on its own.
Same, actually I'm thinking about getting a big higher KV out drive motor to maybe put on 6s in a bigger truck like a big rock 6s or something like that and see how it goes.
I guess I should have expected the torque since we've had several drones in the past, but it still really surprised me that one of those little motors could propel that car the way it did by itself! Impressive! It makes me wonder what an even larger outrunner could do in a ground RC.
Mine hasn't shown signs of trouble yet, but I've only bashed it maybe 4 or 5 times. Time will tell. But you could always put any power system you want in one.
@@bryanbercier6225 it's plenty durable for bashing as the video shows, but I'm not sure yet about adding more power to the drivetrain. Though, if it can handle the torque of that 2212 motor, I imagine it could handle a slightly higher KV system with a smidge more punch as well. But I wouldn't go beyond a 60A power system. High KV at low punch should be just fine.
I would like to know more about upgrading to the 3s lipo? Im a newbie and my son and i got a duble amazon pack with two brushless. This is one of the models, but i am not sure how to upgrade the battery and its currently slow, but runs for a really good while. If you could help explain the upgrade and the battery you used, that would be awesome!
WOW, I didn't know that. Thanks for telling me, I might have to check those out because I love the sound they make, and I'm impressed by how powerful that little motor was. It's so tiny!
🤷♂️ how the wing & body held up so well must b better Quality than the x-07 cause i feel like one good hit & the body is junk so its kinda on shelf till i shoogoo & drywall tape it lol when i got it it came with 2 bodys & thought id b better to leave both on but they both just disintigrated at same time lol😂haha nevermind i see the wing just barely hanging on by thread did the body at least not break?
It looks small to me as well! Like a 14scale hyper go. Im positive it's not a true 10th scale. But looks every bit like its worth $120.00! Spend another $80.00 on better ESC and oil fiiled shocks and it could be worth the investment?🤔
The auto drag brakes are a pain in the @$$, not sure if they are adjustable on this model, but it's definitely the one downside Hosim is known for, It's body style reminds me of my Traxxas Rustler VXL Ultimate.
I'm not all that good at unboxings. Many other channels are, but I just can't pull it off for some reason. At least I don't think so. Maybe I'll try again in future videos.
I hate to call them junk, but they are. 2.5mm screws where there should be 3mm screws. Never mind Hosim loves soft garbage phillips screws. Getting parts is a joke. I am on the 3rd wrong part ordered over a simple steering link. Run them on 3s and you'll spend all your time hunting for parts you can't find. The x17 I'm working on will be the absolute last time I agree to service one. This came to me destroyed after one crash on 2s. I can not endorse this rig in good conscience. Mine was catastrophic damage on one roll over. This is a run a few times and bin it. I will NEVER again mess with a Hosim of any kind.
Hosim is the most garbage you can buy. Don't even waste your money, for 200 dollars you get the pleasure of spending 300 more on junk pot metal parts just to drive them.
Not sure where you are getting these numbers and thoughts from, but Hosim trucks are a blast and the parts are cheap. My kids enjoyed multiple X07’s for years, and now I just bought the X07W’s for them which are heavier duty, so I’m sure they will be great. I haven’t found a better quality RC for the money.
@@raredesign junk diffs cost 20+ , a arms, steering knuckles, tires, esc fan, body posts, 4 wheel drive cups, extra batteries, 2 extra bodies because the first two cracked in half at the front. Transmitter wheel broke twice.. multiple times I had to buy diffs. I never even jumped my x08 it was just junk out of the box and remains in a box to this day. This wasn't a hobby truck it was a parts hog garbage rc. Not to mention the drag brake was set soo high that it basically stripped gears whenever you let off of the throttle throwing it forward. They're junk dude so sell them as junk.
@@eliflynn7282it sounds like it went through a wood chipper. All kidding aside, the x08 is a non-upgraded version, so it uses the weaker parts. Other models with a W are all upgraded with metal diff, axles, shaft, etc.

That one wholesome Hosim. Perfect for the skate park. 👍

I totally agree! Very well put, and I wish I would have thought to say EXACTLY that, in the video.

The earlier X models did have issues, I think the newer X-15 is better, at least so far it's been.
I’m a massive fan of hosim thank you so much for making a great video!
They cranked out a good one here.
It sounds like those 25 cent whistles my parents would occasionally buy me at a local supermarket or candy store.
It really does sound like one of those whistles, that's exactly what it reminds me of.
I’ve never seen a out runner motor on a little basher, seems to work though.. Awesome content, keep it up 👍
That was a first for me too, but it worked really well. Still have the car, still looking good.
The outrunner motor has the magnets on the the case.
This configuration generates more torque.
I feel like I should have known that having drone experience, but I just didn't realize one of those little motors could pack that much punch on its own.
Very nice Johnny Crash I have mine in the desk right now so hopefully my video will be up tomorrow or Thursday
I saw your community post about it. I'm looking forward to the video!
😂😂flappin slapper. Man I really want this now. Thank you for the great video.
It's tough to beat for the price
That motor sounds awesome, deff oil filled shocks. I can’t hard brakes, I like 37.5% it really saves the diffs
I've never liked stuff breaking, even skatepark action only needs 50% at the most of even.
Looks like a pretty good deal actually!
For the price it really is
Looks fun! Where do you order the 3S batteries? Or does the car come with both 2S and 3s?
It comes with 2s, or you can order 3s from MJX or Amazon, or any hobby outlet you like.
Nice review...what battery does it come with? 2s? 2500mah? Thanks
It comes with a 2s, but I mostly ran 3s
Great video good watch got me to subscribe 🤘✌️
WOW I appreciate that, thank you for coming along for the ride!
Those out runner motors really have good torque for the size 👍🏽
I was shocked how much torque it had, I was expecting it to be a bit lame but it wasn't at all.
Great video! First time seeing your channel! I wonder how this compares to the 210e.
Welcome aboard! Thank you for hanging out with us, it makes my day to reach new viewers!
As an RC plane guy I'm familliar with outrunners but not on RC cars.
I'm curious how powerful of a motor this car can handle
Same, actually I'm thinking about getting a big higher KV out drive motor to maybe put on 6s in a bigger truck like a big rock 6s or something like that and see how it goes.
the old brushless Feiyue fy03 had the exact same motor in it
Oh yeah 😂 so cool
@2:28, you sure as hell, don't want those wires bouncing around, bumping into that outboard motor.......Hmmm. (Outrunner motor, apparently lol)
It's an outrunner motor. Pretty common in crawlers. Hard pass on Hosim anything, but my 6s Senton is almost done.
Nice! I love a Senton 6s!
Bad experience with Hosim? Share if you please. I hear mostly good things except the auto drag brake the X08 had very bad.
Senton aka the fliparooni….HARD PASS😂😂😂😂
Outrunner motor.. very common in rc helicopters and drones.. airplanes too.. Tons of torque
I guess I should have expected the torque since we've had several drones in the past, but it still really surprised me that one of those little motors could propel that car the way it did by itself! Impressive! It makes me wonder what an even larger outrunner could do in a ground RC.
@@Rek_Rc I'll pull the one off my 550 sized heli and let you try it on anything you can fit it in.. it's a 6s motor
@@RicWestGa OMG THAT would be awesome! I was just telling Tado I'd like to experiment with a larger outrunner on one of my bigger trucks!
Was thinking about giving it a try, but that 2212 motor is holding me back. I've seen reviews with that blowing apart with brushless guts everywhere.
Mine hasn't shown signs of trouble yet, but I've only bashed it maybe 4 or 5 times. Time will tell. But you could always put any power system you want in one.
@@Rek_Rc In your opinion is it a durable platform for upgrading?

Mean little truck.
It sure is for such a small motor.
what is the measurement of the shocks that you used?

This is one of the models, but i am not sure how to upgrade the battery and its currently slow, but runs for a really good while. If you could help explain the upgrade and the battery you used, that would be awesome!
You can just order one from Amazon and pop it is just like the battery it came with. I'd recommend a 2200 mAh 3s with a deans connector.
What do you think of the upgraded X15W vs the X07W?
I haven't driven the X-15W but I have driven the X-07W and it was awesome, extremely durable!
I absolutely loved your video about the X07W, so I bought two for my oldest boys, for Christmas. I’m sure they’ll love them. Thank you!!
Can you review the cr18p 1/18th scale mini rock van crawler. Orrrr another Gorgon video….
Wow. An outrunner motor in a basher rig.
That's the first I've ever seen like that
@@Rek_Rc it's not the first time, Feiyue has ran out runners in their RCs for years, I have two of them, a desert buggy and sct
WOW, I didn't know that. Thanks for telling me, I might have to check those out because I love the sound they make, and I'm impressed by how powerful that little motor was. It's so tiny!
Would like to see it next to jjrc 16th truggy for a size comparison...to me it looks 14th maybe 12th scale from video. I may be wrong. Thanks
I'd put it as a large 1/12 scale personally.
What 3s lipo did you use for your speed run?
I used a 2200 mAh ovonic
Thanks
🤷♂️ how the wing & body held up so well must b better
Quality than the x-07 cause i feel like one good hit & the body is junk so its kinda on shelf till i shoogoo & drywall tape it lol when i got it it came with 2 bodys & thought id b better to leave both on but they both just disintigrated at same time lol😂haha nevermind i see the wing just barely hanging on by thread did the body at least not break?
The body is still perfect, gearing too. Adam has the car now, he's going to make a crazy basher out of it.
Better than Hyper Go?
Not quite
It looks small to me as well! Like a 14scale hyper go. Im positive it's not a true 10th scale. But looks every bit like its worth $120.00! Spend another $80.00 on better ESC and oil fiiled shocks and it could be worth the investment?🤔
I'd call it a 1/12 scale but yes, a few extra dollars for some oil shocks and another ESC, it would be a fantastic all around RC.
What battery does it come with?
2s but I ran it on 3 for much of the video
Sir, is this a 3 or 5 wire steering servo?
3 wire

Bro how did you get these for 120 they our 240 here in Canada
At that price, I'd avoid it. It's great for up to about 150 but beyond that, there are better options.
@@Rek_Rc looks clean tho lol but yah you probably right
Where is the unboxing
I'm not all that good at unboxings. Many other channels are, but I just can't pull it off for some reason. At least I don't think so. Maybe I'll try again in future videos.
Funny.... i checked my drone and it has 2212 motors
Rlaarlo Carbon Omni Terminator and ROG1 are alot better
The ROG1 impressed the heck out of me. Did you see our videos on it? It beat a losi super Baja rey in a dirt race.
