I just bought one of these it's supposed to arrive today.... This is later that day and this RC is absolutely insane it tears up the front yard. I love it!!!!
That thing can take a beating! Great review and video too. Your acting is getting a whole lot better plus now I know the time and effort it takes to make a little feller dance in reverse!
It definitely can! Acting?? There’s no acting!! 😂. It literally takes my dumb computer program about 10 minutes to reverse a 2 second clip sometimes. My old phone app I used to use could do a 10 second clip in seconds! The kid made it easy with his slick moves though!
@DerbyCityRC lol I wasn't being a jerk about the acting comment. I was referring to then that scre stripped and you done another angle of it showing your reacting. Swear I wasn't being ass!
I love your videos, great testing. Sometimes I wish you would test longer on all stock stuff first. Myself personally, I don’t mod all of my trucks, some I just want to use out of box, so if I’m gonna have to fix too quick or mod to be happy, I usually don’t buy. I just don’t have time for a ton of projects on the bench.
Thanks man!! The main reason for upgrading this one right away was I ran the Hosim completely stock and this is 99% the same so I feel would have been repetitive. Are there some other cars I upgraded too quickly?
@@DerbyCityRC you gotta do another one that thing is definitely going 90+mph on 6s I got mines to 63mph on 3s with more more timing left and throttle 😂
I bought this after watching your videos, I’ve had it for a few weeks and I had my tie rod and 3 of the 4 camber links bend or break just like yours. Traxxas 2445 can be adapted to work in all 6 situations with just a little work, using the stock outboard camber link rod end (you’ll have to drill them out slightly to fit the larger Traxxas rods). That fixes the only glaring weakness! Thanks for another great video!
Awesome to know! Thanks man and glad you like the car! It’s a good one for sure! Got the actual Hosim version coming too so I’m gonna do something different with it! Don’t even know what yet lol
@@jordanent8279 my bits are all so old I can’t tell, I just chose one smaller than the rod and worked up a size until I could get the rod to thread in.
I generally always go with plastic tie rods and camber links on bashers. Even my 18 pound 8th scale has plastic rods and links, and they just flex in a crash. In 5 months I've only broken one camber link. I bought a full set of spares when I bought the truck, expecting those to break first, but guess what broke first ? Metal CVDs snapped their pins. Go figure. Plastic is often tougher, and unless you need to adjust toe and camber, like on a racer or track buggy, go with a plastic option if you can.
Great video, as always. I got one of these last week after watching your video and I'm blown away. My son and I have a bunch of trucks and after several hard sessions with this thing my take is "budget Arrma 3s". My ramp is pretty big, this thing has regularly been over 10' high (landing on dirt or grass), and it's held up great. I left it totally stock, thought about putting some earplug in the center diff but for now figured it's drivetrain protection and I'll wait till parts are more available for this model like they are for the other Hosim 1/8ths. My only gripe is wandering center for the steering. Haven't dug in yet to figure out if it's the servo or the saver. Keep these great vids coming!
Definitely a nice looking and performing rig..changes i would like to see...hex hardware,separate esc and reciever,roller option...Also weaker locktite so you can work on it without breaking or stripping screws...with these simple changes it would be waaay up on my list...😊
That’s kind of a tough decision to be honest. I really like them both. Overall I’d say the 10208 is gonna be easier and better to upgrade and is a more established company. Both seem to have decent parts support. I guess I’d probably go with the 10208. Still a hard decision though 😂
Bro, you really need to put some Rlaarlo shocks on there. It’ll be like a new truck other than that. I can’t believe that things not in the rebuild pile after 5-packs!! Wow!
Can I ask what batteries you chose to go with to fit the smaller battery tray? I know it comes with a 2600 mah 3S with a 25c rating. I've been trying to find something with a higher mah rating and higher C rating while still staying small enough to fit? And have you tried running any 4s batteries in it? Your video was my deciding factor for this RC and I LOVE IT!!! Thank you!!
My guess is yes, but I don’t have any laegendarys. From what I have seen, they seem to break a bit easier. They’re priced pretty well but initial cost is only part of it of course.
Nice RC. I just wish they would come out with a body that didn't look like a space ship. I like how well it drifted on asphalt but the tires seem a bit small for bashing and jumping. For the price it's worth it. Great job as always. 👍👍
@@DerbyCityRC I didn't really intend on insulting the body design. The more you look at it the better it looks. Love your channel my friend. I guess I'm old and have trouble adjusting to the modern world. lol
@RCRoads haha! I don’t think the body took it as an insult 😂. I have trouble myself things are changing so much! I didn’t get my first IPod or smart phone until even after my dad did. Lol
@@DerbyCityRC I rejected the cell phone when it first came out. I thought it was a gimmick and waist of money. I was happy with the clam shell phone. Reminded me of the old star trek communicators. Now all I get with my modern cell is "Potential Spam" or the old lady calling for some task or delivery.

When you get a hold of the new Hosim x25 that's being released in October it would be interesting to see a side by side comparison..something tells me it's going to be the exact same as this Xlf..but they are great looking truggies for sure..maybe this model doesn't use that extra heavy duty lock tight or what ever it is...😊
Hosim is upset at me for this review lol, but I’m pretty sure the X25 is on its way here. Apparently xlf wasn’t supposed to get this model?? Really unsure. Xlf raised the price anyway (though my coupon for $194 is good til the 30th I think). The Hosim is likely exactly the same minus the wording on the body but we will see (probably). Hosim has better customer service and warranty so I’ll gladly recommend it over this one if the price is atleast close. Most likely still has the heavy loctite 😂
Will look forward to ur review...I received my used x07from hosim ebay..had several issues..they responded and I have parts on the way including a broken radio,batt,uper arm and new metal servo..we will see..car still had grass on it,lots of gashes on bumper and chassis..gears seem great,but who knows if i got the upgraded gears or not...i doubt it..😅..but i baby my rcs anyway...Happy bashing!
Seems like a great 10th scale truggy..only thing is nothing is worse for me is needing to tear down a car and not being able to remove the screws..is it really that difficult? Will i need some special super great expensive Phillips driver? 😢...Also did you have to use silicone ear plugs? Doesn't that lock diffs? I actually have a cheap 10th wltoys buggy coming i am going to convert to brushless..that buggy comes with huge metal seal diffs...some guy took his appart and filled 10,000 wt oil....maybe the diff on this xlf could be sealed making a gasket so the prop diff oil could be used...Anyway this car seems great.thanks for the torcher test...😊
I’m sure these could be sealed with the right parts. Just a decent screwdriver, strong elbows and patience bit bit was it a pain. But if you never open the diff then it’s not as bad since you don’t need to remove the screws lol
I have been watching a lot of laegendary thunder vids..yes they are not super duty,but cs is excellent and parts and upgrade parts are easy to get..real nice real 10th scale for a great price..has decent radio with rx and 50 amp Hw programable esc.comes with 4500 2s i think...extremely stable also...if you haven't seen it go check it out and have them send you one...i like it a lot,but i dont beat the hell out of my cars,so its plently durable for me...amazon sells them...
Is this the one you were talking about? Was actually looking at it the other day online? Caught my interest in now that I know that it's a true 1/10 size I might have to $$
Someone else asked that question lol. It’s hard to answer 😂. I feel like I lean towards the mjx, but at the same time I just don’t know. I do like the looks of this one better. Really I’d say you’re good either way. This one goes faster with the supplied 3s while you would need to purchase a 4s to hit the same speeds (though a bit more speed) with the mjx and possibly blow a tire lol. The mjx doesn’t include a battery at all so there is cost there but otherwise you can’t go wrong with either on my admittedly limited experience with either one.
I went and got myself one of these as well. It's an absolute Beast! A lot louder than the mjx 10208, is yours? Sounds different probably because of the helical gears 🤷♂️
Nice!! I think i remember the 10208 was quite a bit quieter than most models. This one may have been a bit loud but technically the helical gears should be quieter. Does it seem to roll smoothly? Normal to feel slightly “notchy” but should still roll very smoothly and easily.
@DerbyCityRC yeah notchy tight train, I reckon it's a bit noisier because of the full metal Metal Gear Mount and covers would create a bit more noise and plastic. Anyway it goes really well, mjx is super smooth and quiet. Completely different feeling drivetrain.
THAT! Is an impact screwdriver. This one is old but looks like this dude. I used it to remove Honda and Kia brake rotors back when I was an auto technician. amzn.to/4edu2uh
I don’t have the quantum yet…hopefully soon. Some can’t compare. I know it doesn’t have a center diff but it’s been proven rather durable by more than just one review I think?? I wish I knew the answer!
Hey dc answer me this! The stock battery I got with the car I thought was faulty. Turns out when you read the manual it says only use the charger provided. So after numerous attempts of charging with my balance charger and the battery holding absolutely no charge. I plugged it into the cheap USB charger that came with the car took it out and got over 10 minutes without the battery even going flat. Could it be that the stock battery does not like a Balance Charger? I'm completely stumped 🤔🤔
@DerbyCityRC mins just a cheap one but has absolutely no problem charging any other 2's or 3S battery. Just this one for some reason 🤷♂️ but the stupid USB charger gets a full charge into it 🤣
Man I enjoy video a lot. Boy DCRC. You really know your dodo,, I learn few things watching your channel. You must been in hobby for years And some of your cars are nice and pricey. But it’s cool hobby for an old man. Enjoy. And respect. Have great weekend
@@DerbyCityRC I need to show you some internal shocks I found on Amazon, 110mm, came with two spring rates, standard bladder.... $6 for the set of 4 on a prime day sale. I can't find a brand or model number on them anywhere but they look just like desert lizards 🤔
Haha! I believe theirs is on the way right now for a video. Apparently XLF wasn’t even supposed to get this model? I’m really confused about it all, but they ended up raising the price of this one anyway. My coupon should still work til the end of the month though. Pricing being closer, the Hosim is a better deal with their better warranty and actual part catalog. An odd situation for sure though!
No not right. Hosim does indeed have a new model called “Vortan X25 1/8” An upgrade from the “Vexar X27 1/8” and “Venum X17 1/8” The model you are showcasing is exactly the same except for sticker on side “Victory Winner”. So who copied who?🤣

What gaskets will work to seal diffs?
Bro, you really need to put some Rlaarlo shocks on there. It’ll be like a new truck other than that. I can’t believe that things not in the rebuild pile after 5-packs!! Wow!
It could definitely use a shock upgrade. Omni shocks would be too small. It definitely surpassed my expectations!
Where did you get or what are you using for removing hard Phillips screws?
Mines from Sears probably over 15 years ago, but this one looks similar: amzn.to/3XCrMH6

I’m really confused about it all, but they ended up raising the price of this one anyway. My coupon should still work til the end of the month though. Pricing being closer, the Hosim is a better deal with their better warranty and actual part catalog. An odd situation for sure though!
@@DerbyCityRC yes I agree 👍🏾
@@DerbyCityRC they always share the same platforms. Xlf f22 is the same as the venom
@da6thmane094 I know. And the xlf x03 is like the xo7. Hosim doesn’t like this video at all so who knows.
Just got into the hobby got a mjx hypergo 16208 and added a spoiler on it
Sweet!! Hope you’re liking it!
What’s the brand
Technically it’s Hosim. Just did a new crazy durability test on one.
Cost. Good info as always
Thanks!!
No not right. Hosim does indeed have a new model called “Vortan X25 1/8”
An upgrade from the “Vexar X27 1/8” and “Venum X17 1/8”
The model you are showcasing is exactly the same except for sticker on side “Victory Winner”.
So who copied who?🤣
Yup this was available first. Hosim has the Vortan way overpriced too I noticed 😂
And they still call it a 1/8 lol
@@DerbyCityRCi believe xlf is a more honest company...Hosim seems a bit on the shady side imo...
That’s possible!
Definitely my next purchase I brought the beast max a while back chewed up both diffs on 3s after watching you lol
Ouch lol! I finally ended up with a chipped tooth in the front diff after a while lol. You can get new diffs for it too.
Got mines to 63mph on 3s and it's more left on 4s it's definitely capable of 80+mph
Yes there’s alot of potential here!
@DerbyCityRC it's your review why I purchased this and decided to modify it. Keep up the content and continue to stay true and honest like you have been. 💙

Dammit Philip!! 😂 I agree man! One simple change would go a long way!!

How’s that overpriced KC ramp holding up?
lol it’s not overpriced when you compare it to others that are available. You can definitely build one for cheaper, but it’s holding up fine 👍
Yay 😂
🎉🎉😆
Yuck, Screws the only reason I won’t buy it.
Believe me I get it!! They’re terrible!
