I picked one of these up years ago for £25 on Amazon only things that went wrong was the rear dog bones twisted and I killed the motor but that was my own fault for letting it get so hot 🤣
Just come back to electric after a year with 5th scale petrol. Electric is so much more fun. I too have spent about 1k in the last 3 weeks because of this channel and kevin talbot. I need to stop my children are wasting away.
In the last three weeks ive bought an xmaxx, erevo, 1/16 erevo, x0-1, a yuneec typhoon h and a dji mini3. I just made an offer on a losi motocross bike. I havnt had an rc since 90's. Xmaxx. And then the bug bit me again. Oh, i just bought dji goggles and camera and am setting it up so i can place it on all the cars. Mid life crisis? Probably 😂 im havin alot of fun. I didn't think id ever take them to the skate park but i did and its awesome. That losi motocross bike at the skate park is awesome. Seriously. It launched and lands perfect. It carves the bowls great. It will wheelie hundreds of feet . To cool. Cheers!
I bought two of these for my younger boys (5 &4 at the time) off your recommendation about a year ago. I’ve only had to replace the differential gears with the metal ones and some dogbones off of normal wear and tear. One of them got run over by an actual car and all I had to replace was the body and a wheel to get it back in top shape after that. I love these and highly recommend them as well. Thanks for recommending these.
Hey Tomley - got my 4 Yr old started with this... 2 years ago! On your recommendation - great car, loads of fun and pretty indestructible. Time to buy a new one for my almost 3yr old! 👍👍👍
Have been racing 2 of the Helivator K "Motivator" (TOPNAME#1) versions of this truck in the garden today,amazing fun and quite quick! can launch itself quite happily off a dirt berm! hit more or less everything there was to hit and and doesn't damage either itself OR garden stuff, which may or may not be high on your priorities.This version also came with 2 batteries each of which last over 20mins, I am actually amazed by that tbh,must be just sniffin the juice man.EDIT TO ADD It also has a THREE WIRE servo!
I honestly just bought one off Banggood because of this video ha!! My daughter will love it with a Calico Critter at the helm. Can I run a 3s in it stock??
I bought two for my boys. I will say it’s a great beginner car but some drawbacks…. The main one, it bottoms out on EVERYTHING. Second, there is a lot of play in the front end. My son wrecked really hard at the indoor track so I bought a new body ($8), oil shocks, and metal linkages for front and rear. Hoping to beef things up
Love the channel. My first time posting. I'd love it if you could share any info you have about the 1/18 hpi Mini Recon, e.g parts that fit, what happened to hpi? That sort of thing. There's not alot of info on TH-cam about it. I know it's old but I've just picked up a second hand one with original box and instructions. It's a little flying machine 😉 Cheers 👍🏻
Hi Tom! I love your channel! I want to get my first RC from Ali... now in 2024, is this still the best option for $50? Thanks, regards! Looking forward to your wise words.
Have u done a video on the Rival MT that's always in the background? I'd like to know more about it. Never mind, I didn't watch this video long enough before this edit. I want it?
Loving mine and according to RcSaylors "there are better things to recommend for 50 bucks" I was like wtf sure... no idea what they had in mind O_o Also I just realized there are cheap spares too! Can't see any negative point anymore.
Epic!! I have ordered one, would you be able to run 3s on it without smoking the esc? I think the motor could easily handle 3s but what about the esc? dont wanna smoke my new toy lolll
Yes it is the same. I had a quick look last night... you can get pretty much everything, other than the spur! Aliexpress may be the best option. Although not the easiest to navigate
Thanks for this video! What is the name of this car? I have been looking for a good RC car that doesn't break the bank and this one is definitely interesting. Also, do you have any recommendations for cheaper cars that have adjustable frequencies so multiple people can drive in the same area?
It might be cheap rc, but after owning 6-7 + parts all adds up to abit. Think I'll stick with my rustler 2wd vxl on 3s, atleast it launches and is faster than you can normally get before wheelie or flips. Not knocking yours it just looks like what a young child's first rc would be. Avagud1 mate
Love this little car mate.. Looks pretty decent for the price. As for the MT10 beware of chassis breakage. Mine snapped in half!! Either really unlucky of material failure but Team Associated weren't interested and the parts are mostly out of stock 😢
@@TomleyRC The guy in the shop said it's not designed for Stunts and Jumps... 🤣😂 Doesn't stop me loving it though... When the parts arrive I will get it back out and enjoy it.. 😍
Fun! Thanks for promoting something that's just pure fun, very practical and not too serious. As many of us know from experience, no matter how well made an RC anything is, outrageous speed + a little stupidity (or lack of ability) = breakage. This little guy certainly prevents much of that.
I agree with you 100% Phil. I had one just like it! Ended up recently giving it to a little kid down the street. Hope he’s having fun with it , because I sure do miss it!!😜🍻⭐️👍🏻
Definitely a kindred spirit, man! I have a track in my backyard and it’s loose and narrow. I’ve been getting so much joy out of brushed, less expensive stuff like this. You know I want one!
Just got my dad and I brushed 2wd slashes, honestly some of the best fun you can have almost anywhere you go. I have an e revo 2.0 but there aren’t a ton of places near me that lend themselves to such speed and size 🤣
Not your best content 🙄 but still left a like & comment.. Just for u 👈 I know the next will be better.. It's hard to find the energy sometimes especially when working ⚒️
I own two of them. Even some spares from wltoys fit on them. Great fun. The hs 18311 was my first hobby gradish rc two years ago. Thanks to your review tomley. Since then I am hooked.
that seems pretty good at the skatepark bud 😀 least you buy another one at that price if it gets smashed up and still cheaper than parts for other cars 👍
Best in the world. Throw that in Kev’s face. Lolol Ed Mcman WWF money scene. Lolol. Good show bud. 👊😀 Justify Nothing live free lol Do you know what a twat waffle is Ewwwwe Lolol gross. Hahahahaha. Awesomer video ever ❤️
I don't know, I would buy a sg 1601 instead of this. its 77$ even in the usa, 68$ in the EU from banggood BUT its brushless!!! way faster a bit larger, it can go in grass and thing, way more fun for the money in my opinion. And its also has plenty of spare parts because its the same car as the HBX 16889.
Great vid TOMO. Help needed. The EX07 comes up as not shipping to the UK. Ready to run or kit . WHY. Been in touch with Banggood 3 weeks ago, but still no reply. Please comment people as to why.
They are having shipping issues with their current providers, hopefully will be sorted soon. Makerfire should ship to the UK shop.makerfire.com/products/zd-racing-ex07-1-7-4wd-electric-hypercar-brushless-rc-car?_pos=9&_sid=ae7205980&_ss=r&aff=286
Hi Marcel, I have no Idea which Batteries are compatible with this car. Could you give me 1-2 Buying links for a 2000 or 3000mAH Battery? Thank you so mucH!
I have that chinese truck, it is the 18311in red and 18312 in blue if I remember correct. The problem is the durability of the axxis, it is too weak. The axxis twist and brak easy. Not bad for the price but to keep it running is a pain. You have to buy lot of spares and even cheap it starts to be spensive. Unther 50$, I paid 42 euros, I think it is the best you can buy. And if it is something damage you have spares not expenseive but you if all has play and works bad ... easy : Annother one
Looks like a knock off if the Teton. I bet it's 10 x better as well. My teton had a burnt front diff and a burnt servo after 2 batteries and one of the rear camber link knobs completely snapped off the rear tranny case after rolling a few times. I was pretty upset. Mabe il consider one of these.
@@TomleyRC I think I may have seen that one. I'm just disappointed with traxxas as a company. The Teton was the first Traxxas I've bought in 10 years and was a huge mistake. Sold it and bought a 1/18 ecx torment. The torment is better in every way. Have yet to break. Fried an esc and motor with a bad battery that's about it. I like this lil car though might give it a go. Great video. Cheers from Nevada!

haha!
Yup those Chinese gems! All the different versions of that chassis for 50 bucks yes yes 👍
Yes... I think one of them is around 40!
I bought one too it was called a sandy land
Cool little car , takes a bashing to and for £36.00 that's a bargain ! Nice one 👍👍
Yes for the money... it’s awesome!
Wish we had these RC toys when I was a kid 60 years ago it was just a dream then !
I have fallen in love with the idea of this RC. Thanks. I got one on the way.

Great video as always Tomley, keep up the amazing content!
Thanks dude
Ehehe cool video. Going to buy one for my 11 years old cousin. He will lov this litle beast for sure
I bought one from banggood, just waiting the deliver, I'm really excited cause is my first RC car.
It’ll be good fun, and you’ll want even more RCs!
tthe weight is also very important, I have a car which is a lot faster, but also really heavy, and so it doesn't really jump
Ftx tracer I believe is the best budget Rc car. That one you got there sounds cheap in comparison
I bought two for my boys. I will say it’s a great beginner car but some drawbacks…. The main one, it bottoms out on EVERYTHING. Second, there is a lot of play in the front end.
My son wrecked really hard at the indoor track so I bought a new body ($8), oil shocks, and metal linkages for front and rear. Hoping to beef things up

Never mind, I didn't watch this video long enough before this edit. I want it?
Yes.... 3. Search Rival MT10 Tomley... they’ll come up 😉
Loving mine and according to RcSaylors "there are better things to recommend for 50 bucks"
I was like wtf sure... no idea what they had in mind O_o
Also I just realized there are cheap spares too! Can't see any negative point anymore.
I always like to give examples if I say stuff like that. There really isn’t much else for $50 like this out there! Maybe the WLtoys A959 at a push
Whats the minimum speed of that one? i need one with really super slow motion for a project
Agreed, finally a affordable rc car for the most of us.
Yes... it’s awesome for the money
Epic!! I have ordered one, would you be able to run 3s on it without smoking the esc? I think the motor could easily handle 3s but what about the esc? dont wanna smoke my new toy lolll
I have 4 of them. 1 has a brushless conversion. Goes good
I'm all for a fun cheep rc mite have to look at getting one 😊
These are a good bit of fun, for not much money
@@TomleyRC I've got a Absima Hurricane 1/18 that's was about the same price but this looks way more fun tbf
What's it called
Looks just like a latrax Teton which is quite good and 4wd, please do a review
did you take the body off?
I wish I could win that rival truck. But that's a kool lil truck also..
Everyone has a chance 😎
IS this the same as an Absima hurricane ? If so where do you get a spur grear from. Ive looked everywhere and cant find one
Yes it is the same. I had a quick look last night... you can get pretty much everything, other than the spur! Aliexpress may be the best option. Although not the easiest to navigate

The best reason ever cheap enough not to have to explain to the misses why you're spending money on rc🤣🤣🤣 👍🏻👊🏻🇬🇧
Hahaha
IDK why, but in my mind i hear "for the price" every time you say "it is the best".
I have one of these on it’s way to me is there anything I can do to make it faster?
Not really... a 2s Lipo will help
@@TomleyRC will a 2s Lipo just connect with no issues or will I have to modify the connection also?
Not anymore. Nowadays it is 70€. Same rc car, a year older, but 50% more expensive
Looks a bit like the Traxxas Teton
What does brushed mean?
I’d like to see you mod this
It's certainly a durable little sucker Phil.
How does this perform in the dirt?
Can it replace wltoy 12428 or its still better?
Hmm... different trucks to be fair. The 12428 is still a good choice if it’s not got to expensive. The were about $65 when I first bought mine
@@TomleyRC in terms of upgradability, wltoy still wins right? because of its size?
I noticed yours has wheel nuts and the ones on banggood have Phillips screws
Hmm... didn’t notice that. Mine was only bought a few months ago.. maybe just the pictures wrong?
I would love to win the Rival...
What is the make and model?? I tried the link and it doesn't work... thank you
Should work. HS 18311
Yep. This same car was the rc car that got me into the hobby. It’s now my daughter’s and it’s still going even after she drowned it in water!
