- This is a pretty fun car!
The brand new 1/12 scale RC Desert Truck from Haiboxing.
Now, we have tried the 1/18 and 1/16 scale vehicles from Haiboxing and been rather happy with how they perform for the rock bottom price they are sold at. So, when we heard about this 1/12 scale vehicle coming out, I was very curious how it would perform!
Spoiler alert - rather well actually!
With the current coupons available on Amazon, this truck can be had for just under $100! Comes with 2, 2S lipo batteries, a USB charger for them and even lights!
Make sure to check out the trick way they wire the lights in to help prevent ripped out wires!
Like the other vehicles we have from Haiboxing, they are not extreme bashers like our Arrma 6S lineup or Traxxas X-Maxx...but you could also purchase 9(!) of these for the price of one X-Maxx! Literally everyone in the neighborhood could be racing!
Considering getting one? Use this link and you pay the same price, but I get a small kickback! amzn.to/3kqLRJs
Their 1/16 scale 16889 is also a really fun truck, and even cheaper!

dang affordable RC's have definitely come a long way! I remember all I had access to were the ones at Target before I discovered the used market lol
EXACTLY! Comes with 2 lipos and everything! Certainly not as good as some of the major vehicles out there, but we still had a lot of fun with it!
Thanks for the scale comparison between all 3 HBX’s, I’ve got the Rampage but looking for something a bit bigger so thanks for the side by side shot.
Great! Glad that was helpful!!
Have you done a review of that Chevelle......we're talkin pure American muscle.
Ha! I was literally just sitting here thinking about doing that exact thing!
Thanks!
Jinx!
I really like your offroad course! That is cool!
Thanks! 👍
What do you exactly mean when "it is not an extremely basher as..." ... Sorry pretty new to these terms
Thanks for the question!
Bashing is the speed, jumping, doing crazy stuff part of the RC hobby.
There are a few bashers out there like the Arrma Kraton 6S and the Traxxas X-Maxx. These are vehicles that do really crazy jumps and stunts and live to tell about it.
This truck is very fun for the price. But still, it can not compete with vehicles like that.
Does that help?
@@RoadsideRC thanks for answer, now is clear. compared to 12428?
@@bipantera I can't co.pare it to the 12428, I never owned one of those. I only ever had the 10428. This seems more durable than the 10428.
That’s super cool, I’m surprised of the speed, maybe if you take the spare tire off it will lose some weight.
When I had my xinglehong 1/16 brushless car it was a rocket, almost did standing backflips, also accidentally steeped on it and nothing broke 😁
Have a new car myself coming in soon
Great!
Yes, a brushless upgrade for this would be nice. This is just brushed.
This review make me want to get it I’m a beg my mom to get it lol
Good luck! Hope you enjoy.
I also sub to you good reviews of rc cars
Looks a great model for the money a lot of fun
Sure is!
Great value for the $$$.
Hey there , love your videos . New to RC crawlers . I message you about a Traxxas trx4 on your bridge building video for Big Buddha RC ranch my wife and I still looking to go check that place out . But we when to RC Field Days on September 3 , 2023 on a Sunday . And he give my wife and I this RC car . With your sticker on the side of it. Love the car to rip it on my road .
Awesome that you got this truck!!! I gave it to them to giveaway!!!
Nice video, i just got a haiboxing truck, its alot of fun
Great! Glad you like it!
Quick question what Adapter do i use to charge the battery bc the Adapter overheats so what Adapter do i use??
Not sure I fully follow your question.
The battery has a Dean's connector on it.
Too bad it's over 300 bux off Amazon Canada. Lol
Hmm. That might not be worth it...
Price point is fantastic. Thanks for the in depth review.
Glad it was helpful!
I love it man!! Desert Buggies are my favorite!
I love the design also!
Nice Video!!! Love those little HBX
They are great value for the money!
I got the car it's coming on the 20 of September
I hope you enjoy it!
Awesome RC,great review
Thanks 👍
This or the 100$ arrma voltage?
Probably the Arrma Voltage
Good afternoon, can anyone help me with the user manual for this car? Thank you and I am highly grateful.

I don't easily find it.
Please email Haiboxing themselves for help.
Gracias 👍
The car Is waterproof?
Yes!
It now comes with 540 motor! 💪
Ooooh! That is good!
great statement that go wherever you want looks a real cool truck on test looks quite impressive
*👍Au👍thumbs up like.😉fully viewed*
Thank you Billy!
At 2:50 when you opened it mine doesn’t come with that top case its just open.not the Car body
Interesting. They must have changed it.
Oh
That's quite the Haiboxing collection ya got there 👀 Which is your favorite?
I really like that 16th scale 16889!
I just picked one of these up for myself. Thanks for doing a very thorough review on this new model, I think it's going to be a winner.
It is fun. Really hard to beat for the price.
Is it the fastest, most durable, etc? No. But fun for the $!
This looks like its a great update to the Haiboxing Protector 👍🏁
Yes sir!
I just gave this to my son for Christmas. Used it 1 day and the motor won't run. The wheels will turn, but the buggy won't move. Any suggestions? Do I need a new motor? Only used it for 1 day before this happened. Thanks
I am very surprised! You will see a video coming out this week where we BEAT on this thing at a skate park and it drove home.
Really sorry to hear this.
Contact the email address in the papers in the box. They are quick to respond and help with spare parts. I bet they will send you a new motor ASAP.
@@RoadsideRC Do you happen to have the email address? I sent an email to haiboxingbobby@126.com, but this looks to be out of China, so I wasn't sure. If you have another email, let me know. I must have thrown away any other papers with all the wrapping paper. All I have is the instruction booklet, but that doesn't have contact info. Thank you.
Have you had any luck?
I reached out to a contact at Haiboxing - they said you should use the trouble card that came in the box. It says to email hbxofficial2019@gmail.com
Hope this helps!
@@RoadsideRC My son found the card that came in the box. On there, it had email addresses of bemmahobby@gmail.com and ya137159@gmail.com. So I emailed them. I guess I'll try emailing the address you provided too. Thanks for your help. I'll let you know if they provide any good solutions.
I was looking for a truggy that can do both. Race and Crawling and this Video proves it! Thank you!!
It does OK - please don't consider that it is a strong crawler though. It would be fun to take out on a trail!
@@RoadsideRC I have a wooded land just for that. I hardly have anything for rock crawler as it doesn't have extremely high hills. Just to make the trail similar to rally tracks. Not high speeds but to make it fun is what I wanna try. I got cones for checkpoints or gates, ramps for jumps. Anything I could think of.
Nice review thx. Do you think lack of oil shocks is bad on this?
Oil shocks are certainly a nice upgrade! They make a large difference.
Yep all of the reviews
I'll try to get that worked out today.
Ok
Great review, lovin' this buggy, may need to get me one of these
It is pretty good for sure.
Can you make a review playlist
Of all review vehicles, or certain ones?
Yep all of the reviews
Ok
I just bought one of these great review aby upgrade recommendations and links
Great!
I was very happy with the truck how it was out of the box. The only thing I would recommend is upgrading the shocks to true oil filled units.
Just checked - I do not see them available on Amazon right now. Keep watching, they pop up occasionally.
thank u for ur fast reply i am new in rc world so when it arrives will try to find same size in Bangood or Aliexpress
Trying to find this HBX 2995 but no longer available on Amazon or any
other sites? Seems like it was a limited time production. Bummer. I own 2
other HBX and really enjoy them!
It looks like they now have a slightly different version of the truck available, here: amzn.to/3uBusDC
Looks like it might be OK - the battery situation is a little odd.
Otherwise, I have tested this truck and had fun with it also: amzn.to/33sAtqp
Or more recently, the smaller version, that is actually brushless. You should really see my video of this at the skatepark! amzn.to/3exa4Ox
Thanks Roadside RC. Ya the Protector is the 4th version of the HBX buggies. My first choice was the Dune Thruster( 2 speeds,spare wheel) - Dune Thunder had the rear wing, single speed. 413 RC does a great comparison vid of the latest 3 buggies. I came on board too late to try and purchase the Thruster. A few "overseas"sites still listing it but they lie about having it in stock with stupid high prices! The blue one on Amazon ($158!!) is another bad seller.
So I WAS able to locate the 2995 Desert Truck on Amazon yesterday - had to type in a different title to get it to show up. Only 1 left now.....success!
Not able to locate this 2995 since my misfortune. Bummer. I did find one on Amazon but not through your link. It was listed under a different title. There were only 2 and I scooped up one. That item arrived May 9. The damn thing was USED! Missing the 4 extra clips, someone installed the decals(sloppy) and it had scuffs & scratches on bottom frame! Returning it today for a full refund. Seller claimed Amazon deemed it OK to resale and list as NEW. WTF?
@@MrGlobaldave1 Wow! That is really crazy! I am surprised by that!
Get a full refund for sure!
Finally bought the "upgraded" 2995 from Amazon (prices kept going up & down - geeez). Now I'm trying to get extra rear stock shocks(blue w/ white springs) to have that quad look. Not too concerned if they are oil filled. CANNOT seem to locate these anywhere? (unavailable on Amazon)Suggestions?
Awsome mate so cool of a rig 😎😎👍
It is certainly good for the price!
Good buggy. Must get the oil filled shocks to tame it if you take it off road. Really needs a 3s battery for more punch in soft dirt. The 2s doesn't have enough grunt.
Thanks for the tips!
Can the esc handle 3s ?
That's an awesome truck. Have you had any issues with it since?
Nope - it has been good for us.
Heck, we even took it to a skate park here: th-cam.com/video/IfypXnt7eaM/w-d-xo.html
@@RoadsideRC good to know because I have one coming Tuesday. Looks like it handled well at that skate park
Ok

Ok I'm see all videos
I like this 👌
Thank you!
Fun rig bro.
It is! Especially for the $$$!
@@RoadsideRC RC cars make me broke. LOL
@@jdpaslRC Yes!
Honestly, that is part of the reason I am doing more drifting and crawling. There are very little repairs, and the batteries are cheaper!
That's a nice find but can you find the same size for under 50 bucks?🤔hmmmm
Probably! Don't know if it would be as good as this one though!
@@RoadsideRC ok thanks
