- In this video we unbox the completely new Haiboxing / HBX 18859 1/18 scale 4WD Racing Truck. The box states that it's hobby grade and not a toy, and for ages 14+. We have a good look over the truck and explore all of it's features, is it hobby grade? It certainly has a great specification, and as a bonus, this new version comes with 2 x 850mAh LiPo batteries and fitted LED headlights.
We also check out some of the available upgrades. This could make an ideal first RC car!
This Ready To Run (RTR) RC Truck is available at a very reasonable price, worldwide - just search for "Haiboxing 18859" 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!

Thanks for watching, and as Mikael @Nordic RC Visions always says, keep 'em running! - ยานยนต์และพาหนะ
Nice going mark I like them shocks and Metal driveshafts to in of switch on the side to looks smart with that body shell on with the lights hope your keeping all good bro 👍👍👍👍
Thanks Kirkster! 👍 Yeah, some very nice design touches for such a cheap truck. All good, bro - hope you and yours are doing OK! Cheers! :O)
I have seen a few of these little trucks on youtube now. Seem quite popular. Nice unboxing and info Mark 👍👍👍
Thanks Tibster! Yeah, I think HBX sent out a load of these trucks for review, just before Xmas - I think I got their plan worked out! But hey, I'm happy to get a couple of free trucks to play with, and TBH they really are very good! Thanks very much for the comment, all the best, dude - stay safe! 👍
Can't beat free stuff dude lol
i bought this for my brother and he is super happy. thanks for reviewing this mark
Great to hear, Aflah Rizky Tsaqif Abinaya ! You are very welcome my friend, thank you for the kind comment! :O)
I like you branching out and doing these starter RC reviews. This scale is great for bashing and small spaces. Looking forward to the run vid👍🏾
Thanks very much, Paul! Yeah, good to do some cheap RC reviews, it's amazing what you can get for $60!!! A great way of getting into the hobby. If it gets more kids off the consoles and out into the park, it's gotta be a good thing! All the best, Brother! 👍
Just finished watching your other one and now am watching this 👍🥰😉👍
You're the best! Cheers, bro! :O)
@@MarkBryanRC 👍😎🥰👍
Definitely some nice upgrades on this newer model and from what I’m seeing can be had for the same money as the original!
These little rc’s are a fun, toss in the car rc to run when bonus rc time hits!
Definitely a good rc for beginners who don’t want to spend a lot on their first rc!
Nicely done Mark!👍😊
Hello, Jeremy! Yes, I have seen now how much this model has been upgraded. Thanks for the great comment from someone who knows these RC's. Definitely one for bonus RC times! Very best wishes to you my dear friend. :O)
😁👍 Nice showcase Mark, These little haiboxing RC's I would recommend to anyone in a heartbeat they can take a beating and come back for more. You should have fun with it, they are not super fast but the bashabilty of them makes up for it.
Thanks very much, Steve. Good to hear that you would recommend these little trucks, that means a lot coming from a man with your RC experience! And awesome to know that they can take the knocks - sounds like fun time coming soon as I get to try them out! Cheers, buddy! :O)
Great little truck, i still have my Losi Mini-LST (mlst) with cf chassis, Castle Creations brushless motor/ sidewinder esc, (motor is a 8,200kv unit) and a buch of Integy parts, Hot Racing & Losi option parts. its a work in progress, counting on 6 years now.
Very cool! Wow that's a long project - sounds like it will be a crazy fast little rig! One day I'll get a Losi in my collection, too! :)
@@MarkBryanRC mini-t 2.0 is @ $139.99 (brushed version, @ $199.99 for the brushless version, USD), with everything. Lipo, radio, charger, batts for the radio but its RTR.
@@UncleBobsRC Many thanks for the info, Bob. Seems like a good buy, for such a cool truck! :)
Lovely video Mark 👍 Interesting that the wheels are "screwed" on! Plenty of decent technology and features on such a small introduction to the hobby! I also like the ball joints on the shocks......instead of the step screws that Tamiya often uses. I love it! 😊
Hi Simon - so nice of you to watch and comment, mate! Yeah, a lot of these little RC's have the wheels held on by screws, seems odd, doesn't it? Anyway, yes, for 50 quid this little basher is very well specified, I can tell you it's a blast to run and very tough. Thanks again, and all the best to you - take care, mate! :O)
Ooh aren't you a lucky boy getting this stuff to review. Looks very similar to the other one. Really good that you can upgrade the shocks and drive shafts etc. It's a much more affordable hobby than when we were lads. I bet this will be a laugh on the right terrain. I'm interested to know how long it lasts with the tiny battery. At least you get 2 of them. Anyway, great unboxing mate. I saw your other note about your enforced time off work and have replied. Hope you are ok and staying well. Enjoy the extra hobby time 😁
Cheers, Pete! Yes, very similar, but a bit smaller and cheaper than the other HBX. Also, at under £50 all in, it's a great price for a starter RC. I have run it, and it is, like you say, a great laugh in a small area. The batteries last quite well, about 15 minutes in deep grass and wet sand, so not bad at all, plus the bigger batteries from the 16889 fit this truck! Thanks for the kind words, I got your other message - oh well, at least I got my hobby to get stuck into! I'm doing OK mate - all the best and a massive CHEERS! :O)
Thanks again Mark and Rob. Now I have another choice the HBX 16889 or HBX 18859. Santa tried to talk me into getting a drone instead, hahaha! I said I didn't want to be looking up all the time, hard on the neck, LOL! I will get my list to Santa right away, you never know when they might be out of stock. Appreciate your videos!
Thanks very much, Christine! Yeah, this is a great little truck, but if you can go the extra 10 bucks, the 16889 has a bit more punch! Tell Santa the drone is a pain in the neck - you need a good bashing RC! Wishing you all the best, my good friend! :O)
@@MarkBryanRC 😂about the drone. Yes I put the 16889 as my first choice and they were both available on Amazon a the time. Thank you Mark!
@@4cmjohn8 Oooh - fingers crossed for the 16889 - good choice! :O)
Fantastic unboxing Mark mate and info, can't wait to unbox mine. Not had time yet. Its good that they give you 3 bodies and the other upgrades especially the Shocks 😁 ive seen loads off Bashing vids of this and its dosnt disappoint , they are So Tough 🤛 really enjoyed every minute of this Video bro as always 👍😉🥰😎👍
You are a super friend, Tony! Thanks again for the awesome support, I really do appreciate it mate! Yeah, look forward to your unboxing, this RC video malarkey takes up so much time, doesn't it? You are right, loads of vids about this little truck, it sure looks like a tough one! All the best matey, look after yerself! :O)
Love it Mark! These lil guys are getting popular. Can't wait to see ya run em. Hope all is well. =o)
Cheers, Chris - great to read ya, buddy! Yeah, these trucks are all over TH-cam at the moment - you can tell Christmas is coming! All OK, thanks, but I have to isolate for 2 weeks because of a case of Covid-19 at work! No outdoor RCing for me! :-/
@@MarkBryanRC Ah crap! Ya gotta be kidding? I'm so sorry to hear Mark. be safe.
@@VallonesRCHobby That's so kind of you, Chris - thanks a ton, Bro!
Nice mark great little basher i picked up two of them lol i might go brushless in one of them 👍
Cool you got 2! Thanks for the message, Brent - wow these little trucks would be insane running on brushless - it would be great to see how it goes if you do! All the best, my friend. 👍
Hi Mark! Looks great! Good overview. Uhh, and yeah, it got a semi-official name: Rampage (version 2). Even Haiboxing use that name. The last ones was named Rampage and Hailstorm. I think they drop the names occasionally because it makes it easier for other companies to rebrand it with their own name.
Hello, Mikael - thanks for watching, mate! Oh, yes I see the name on other reviews - thanks for the info! Wish mine came with Rampage stickers - a lot easier to remember than 18859!!! Cheers, my friend! :O)
Hi guys, get the Tamiyas on the go, we want Tamiya, we want Tamiya, we want Tamiya. lol 😂 . Those are great wee rc’s for the price, make nice Christmas 🎄 pressies for the kids.
Hi Mikey! You'll be glad to know there's a Tamiya vid for Friday! Also, I have a new Tamiya kit to unbox before Christmas. But yeah, this wee little truck is an ideal present, at under £50, not bad for the whole package! Thanks for the comment, mate, hope to see ya Friday!
Hi Mark, watch all the vids you do.Can i ask whats up with the Range rover build?
Hi Gary - many thanks for watching, much appreciated, mate! Sorry, things are a bit tight at the moment, but the Range Rover is still coming, filmed the end of part 2 today. Had a few issues with (tiny) missing parts and confusing instructions! Hope to get it all edited and uploaded soon - I'm in isolation because of Covid from today, so should have the time to get it done! All the best, take care! :)
I got 1 and I am very impressed. Its better tgen my Tamiya Sandviper
That's great to hear, yeah it is a cool little truck! Cheers! 😎👍
Cool looking truck but for me I think I would spend the extra and go for the 1/16 scale truck. Nice one dude. How's things on the COVID front?
Gotta agree with you, dude! The 16889 has that bit more punch for the pound! Well, I am still isolating, getting bored of being stuck inside - Lou has had to have a Covid-19 test today - this thing goes on and on! Hope all is good with you, mate.
Well Mark, your certainly not going to be short of running videos to shoot with this 2nd Haiboxing mini truck. So impressive for the low price point being fully ball-raced, 4WD and with what looks like ( but might not be ) a Dean's plug - way better than Tamiya. Those tabs on the body clips too are a great feature, all Axials come with those and stop you stabbing your fingers with the pointy end. It's amazing too that they sent you all those spare shells and upgraded parts. I assume you'll add those at some point. Great review and look forward to seeing this and the previous one in action. Let's see how you go about avoiding your GoPro with that pistol grip tranny...😉. I know your not a fan....
Hiya, mate! Too true - I got a couple of run vids to edit from these Haiboxing trucks - luckily they are in the can, because I'm now isolating after a confirmed case of Covid-19 at work! So no more outside for me for another 2 weeks! Luckily for me, I have the Carisma build to get on with, and a brand new Tamiya to unbox! All I will say is that it's a buggy, and some awesome friend in Europe sent me a big box of NIP alloy parts for it - it's going to be insane!
Back to this little truck - yeah, amazing spec for £50 - and those are real Dean's plugs! The upgrades were a massive bonus, I couldn't believe it when I opened the package. I plan to add them soon and do a new run video, you know how much better alloy oil shocks feel!
Hehe - I am crap with a pistol grip (I think you would do well, after watching your gun videos), so the GoPro may end up in A & E yet again!
Thanks for taking the time to write these awesome comments, I really appreciate them, especially today being locked-in, a real treat, my good friend! Cheers! :O)
@@MarkBryanRC woohoo Mark - a new mystery Tamiya buggy, I'm genuinely fascinated about what that might be, and look forward to the unveiling. Me and pistol grips. I see what you did there..🤣. To be honest though I like you prefer the old fashioned sticks. Stay safe dude and enjoy your time off modelling.
Now working?
Working just fine! :))
Waterproof?
Well it's definitely splashproof but I would not submerge it!!! :))
