      Glad you like it! Definitely a great truck! I think for $60-$70 I would recommend this one. For me Amazon shows it at $69 plus a 15% off coupon. I do have a review video on it. It’s probably my favorite car under $80. Roughly the same size, but not as fast. It has 2 small brushed motors.

    Great job Evan and family. You know how much I love my 901a and it’s been more durable than yours (tho yesterday I couldn’t run it due to an all-new, worrying Noise) but I too would hand the medal for indestructibility to the 1/16 vehicle. Our fc600 (that’s the Truggy version of the “pro” for anyone not familiar) just won’t quit and it gets crashed a lot and “sent” off any and every available skatepark ramp. Total damage since new - one cracked body shell, one slightly bent rear dog bone.

    Can the pro do burn outs/ drifts like the 901?

    • @DerbyCityRC
      @DerbyCityRC  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      It can, but I’d say the 901a does better burnouts.

      Ya I think so. It’s a pretty good platform. Check out my review on the 903a, which is similar but comes with somewhat better tires. Or for an even better car, check out my HBX 2996a video.

    • @DerbyCityRC
      @DerbyCityRC  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      They’re pretty close to the same size. The 9200e may have a slight advantage on size. Even with the 901a being one of the least durable hbx cars, I do think overall it’s a little better. Sticking with that size of car, you can’t beat the hbx 2995 or the flyhal fc610. They’re essentially the same car. Not quite as fast but much more durable and controllable. Also easy to upgrade and make awesome. I have several videos on these.

    • @DerbyCityRC
      @DerbyCityRC  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Cool! Some slightly larger tires will do the trick. We use these on our 16890 which is a very similar truck and they work great. You may need to turn the steering rate down just slightly so it doesn’t rub the body when turning. Or you can add small wheel spacers or trim the body a little bit. But these tires make it much more fun!

      The video is about the 16889a PRO with brushless and metal upgraded parts. It may be different in some areas and from different sellers, but on Banggood the price difference is pretty minimal. That will fluctuate depending on the promotional prices but the price shouldn’t be too big of a factor between these two. Either way, I agree the 16889a pro is the best choice!

      @@DerbyCityRC I ordered a 16889A brushless from Aliexpress today, it really sucks to live in a banana republic, so many sellers on Bangood seems to have lost a lot of revenue shipping to South Africa to unscrupulous fraudsters, so they simply stopped shipping their goods here. You will simply not believe the vast amount of sellers who simply don't ship WLToys here! So the best I could to here was to order my little brushless 16889A and then upgrade it to the pro version. I will be so happy if someone can do an in detail information video on what the upgrades are to get it to Pro status. However from what I have seen is that the one I ordered is also a pretty awesome little truck in it's own right. My son and I are just so over it to get slow and boring toy grade stuff that if it breaks, all you can do with it is to strip it for parts ...
