Awesome speed run David! 38mph on 3s is amazing. The 16889 is also my favorite 1/16th scale truck. Add some oil filled shocks and they are incredible for the price.
Thanks Ryan its definitely a great little truck, one day i plan to get oil filled shocks for this one and the SG1601, just greased the friction ones for now cause it couldn't be bothered waiting a month for parts to arrive 😄 Have a good weekend!
I'm making a video soon for mine. I bought all metal drivetrain upgraded to a hobbywing brushless esc and run it 3s. It flies! By far my favorite small truck. I haven't installed the metal drive train yet. Waiting for the plastic ones to wear out. They have taken everything I can give them. I can't strip them lol. Nothing but 3s speed runs and jumps. Can't break this damn thing lol.

Cheers Dan, its quick on both 2s and 3s now, specially for having a tiny brushless motor. Fun and durable little truck, definitely my favourite 16th scale in my collection! 👍🍻
Thanks David its a pretty fast little truck, leaves my Q901 eating dust lol. That only tops out at 52kph in stock trim on 3s, hope all is well over there brother , thanks for watching! 👍
@@PERTHWESTOZRC I like those tires. I’m in the hospital right now. I fell 25 feet an landed on my back. Apparently that will break your back. 😃 I’m waiting on a custom turtle shell brace.
@@PERTHWESTOZRC thanks! I was fitted for a body brace and had an X-ray with it on to see if it holds everything in place or if I need surgery. In the end I’ll be ok.
Have you got a link or spec to the tyres and wheels that you used? Will any wheel manufactured for a 12428 fit this truck? Would you recommend continue running on a 2s or worth the upgrade to a 3? Thanjs
Hi Daniel, you can buy these wheels from aliexpress, banggood ebay etc, just type in wltoys 12428 wheels and you should be able to find them easily, also i recommend running 2s if you want to bash this truck around because on 3s the motor can get rather hot. Thanks for watching and have a good weekend mate
Did you noticed if the motor ran much hotter with those tires/wheels? Did you add spacers or was it just a direct swap? Did the grease last in the friction shocks?
I have the brushed motor model of this truck. Do you know if I could just plop a brushless motor in it? Or use those batteries you are using. Super new to the hobby. Literally got mine last night. I'm about to tear the shocks apart and put grease in them lol
Hi mate - great video! Can I ask where you got the tyres from and how do you know what size battery will fit in the chassis? Seems like the ones I see on eBay are all too big. Any particular 2S Lipo you'd recommend with a good C rating? Thx
Hi mate the tyres are from a WLtoys 12428 desert buggy and i would look for a 1000mah lipo that fits with the highest c rating you can find, cheers for watching 👍🍻
Great video, very useful. I have a Linxtech 16889 on the way. Is it the same as hbx 16889? Do you know of any tyre/wheel upgrades that are more monster-truck like? These seem to be a bit skinny visually. Cheers mate!
Never heard of the Linxtech model but I'm sure its probably the same as this HBX model just rebranded, as far as tyres, these were just ones I had on hand. I'm sure if you look online there would be many options available, even from other Haiboxing models. Thanks for watching Vlad 👍🍻
Santa brought me one for Christmas. Are you sure it's not a 28mm can? Mines the brushed and it's 28mm diameter. Plan on upgrading to metal shafts, metal gears and diff, oil shocks, new esc, transmitter, servo and a 4500kv 2435 can with 3S.
looks heaps smaller than a 28mm can, i have a few other 1/16 scales that have 2845 brushless motors and they are bigger than this little motor, cheers for watching bro👍
Great cheap mods Dave. Impressive improvement in speeds with the bigger wheels and greased shocks on both 2s and 3s. Ahh.. the good 'ol grease in shocks trick.. works wonders. A lot less bounce thus increasing traction, thus help in increasing speed 💥💯👍 nice bash too at the end.
Cheers Michael, these simple mods really help it go quick on the top end, especially on 3s it's much quicker than my Q901. Grease on the friction shocks will do for now until I order some oil filled shocks! Thanks for watching bro, have a good Sunday! 👍🍻
Hey Dave I just bought the HBX 18859a, with the brushless motor and oil filled shocks. What upgrades could I do to make it a bit faster?? Stock speed is around 40km, the company states it can do 53km.
Yeah of course you can, I fitted a brushless system in one of my brushed ones for a 16889 speed challenge with some of my TH-cam mates last year, videos are on my channel.
You need to change to 12mm hex if you have much larger wheels like I have in this video, pretty sure I added a few pics of the way it is setup at the start of this video
@@PERTHWESTOZRC yeah you did show a couple of pics but I can't seem to suss it out. I can't find any hexs that go over the raised cross connection on the drive shafts
Check the stock wheels like I said in the pic how I was surprised it ran 12mm hex’s, just remove them hex pieces from those wheels with like a flat head screwdriver to pry em loose and install on your new wheels 👍
Hello Perth, my car hbx 16889a pro when you give throttle and release it deviates to the right the rear wheels jump or hit, I don't know what to do anymore, it's not an alignment problem, it's checked, it could be bearings on the glasses? thank you. bangood won't let me return the car they are behaving very badly.
Thanks for the review! What's a good drop in motor to replace the stock one? Is this good? SURPASSHOBBY 2435 3300KV? And do you know whats the stock motor's shaft diameter?
Cool video and mods. I got the SG 1601 and those tires look sweet, will check them out. Got the oil filled shocks which work great! Noob question: I want to change the transmitter to a smaller one for my son: Carson Reflex Wheel Start. I am not sure where I need to plug in the receiver with this 2 in 1 esc receiver? Any help or link to a video will be highly appreciated.
Cheers for watching brother, as far as plugging in to this stock receiver, you won’t be able to man, you’d have to maybe buy a esc and receiver seperate to do that.
Also look up the like real part number like name and change it by 1 Up or down can't remember but the one I got is truggy one and the other is this truck but bigger i think it comes with oil filled shocks and also has metal rear axles stock

Hi, perth. I have a problem with my hbx16889a pro, I bought it new and when I raise the car and give gas and release with the car in hand, or raised it makes a noise as if they were bearings or the transmission shafts were short and then it has looseness . the car is new, do you know if this is normal? I hope I have explained myself well, a strong greeting, you are the best!!!
Yeah that can happen cause the truck is in your hand and is not on the ground and the shafts are rubbing a bit as they suspension is putting the axles on a downward angle, whent he truck is on the ground the weight of the truck will straighten the axles so there is less friction. Thanks for watching
@@PERTHWESTOZRC Thanks Perth, it's an unusual vibration, it makes it when you give and release gas it seems to come from the cups of the axles as if they have a lot of slack due to the cup bearings, is there a better bearing? to fix this? I'm afraid I'll end up breaking the differentials. It also seems that the axles don't quite fit as if they were short. Another query perth!! the differentials of the hbx of this particular one only have 2 satellites inside, the wltoys have 4, is it possible?
You should try a surpass 5000kv motor… I’m getting mine to 26mph and it’s stock altho I have changed the wheels to shorter ones from the volcano 16 so I reckon if I put the stock wheels back on it’ll crack 30mph
I don’t have this truck anymore, I stripped all the brushless electronics and put it in 2 other cars before installing it into a truck a small feilun ft007 rc speed boat now
Looks a little Monster! 2 questions: Is that front wheel toe-out your personal preference/ and why? 2nd: Does it really survive the 3s? The wheelies are nice :)
Toe out is just stock there is no adjustment and yep the ESC and motor have been transfered in a couple other different rc cars now and its still running strong on 3s
They do work buddy, you have to use the original hex from the stock wheels then swap em over to the WLtoys wheels thats all, i explained and showed photos in the first minute of this video.
I picked up the brushed version of this truck, if I wanted to go brushless, I'm thinking I gotta update the diffs? Metal gears are not in the brushed version, correct?
Yes the brushed model has plastic diff's so would be a good idea to upgrade them to metal if going brushless, thanks for stopping by and Merry Christmas👍

Yeah I don’t recommend it for long term use, I was only trying out speed runs to see how fast it can go in this video
You sound exactly like the comedian Jim Jefferies
I've been told that before 😁 thanks for watching mate👍
What size tire ???
I picked up the brushed version of this truck, if I wanted to go brushless, I'm thinking I gotta update the diffs? Metal gears are not in the brushed version, correct?
Yes the brushed model has plastic diff's so would be a good idea to upgrade them to metal if going brushless, thanks for stopping by and Merry Christmas👍
Can 16889a pro use a 3s? Can anyone please tell me?
Wheels name and brand?

Didn't want it de-moniterised
Thats weird, i hit 68km/h on 3s 25c on the same tires
The lipo I used was a 45c so that's probably why mine got more top end speed 👍 thanks for watching mate
@@PERTHWESTOZRC no problem, nice videos, currently using this basher as my main, it’s a perfect package 👌
