For method #3 in our body shell reinforcement experiment, we used our HBX 16890 and our HBX 18859a. This is one of the easier and quicker methods to apply so it will be very interesting to see how it holds up. We also used it to repair cracks in the 16890 body. We ran both cars as hard as possible to really test them properly!

How do you like the 18 model compared to the 16? Do they have equal durability?
I'm subed this is a very good channel you guys are awesome I like how you show what these cheap rcs can handle when they are over powered lol great stuff and keep up the good content thanks 👍
Awesome! Thanks man! I have the most fun with the cheaper upgraded cars than I do anything else. They definitely do handle a lot!
Thanks so much!!
I used the spray version. Same result but easier and less clean up.
Nice! Still nothing beats shoe goo with drywall tape. Just takes so long to apply lol
I have something to ask when a car comes with a wheelie bar do you run the wheeie bar when youre jumping youre cars ???
Yes I do because I do wheelies in between jumps lol
Something else to ask you do you think reinforcing the inside of the body with gorilla tape will help at all ??
Yes it will help. Quite a bit probably, but maybe not as good as the shoe goo. Much easier to apply though!
Not bad at all for how quick it was to do! Was fun watching that bash session ;-)
I do agree!! Thanks for watching! It was a fun one to record and edit! 😎🤗😃
I actually got an 18859 A myself earlier this year, and I love it. I've been considering throwing some street tires on it and turning it into a street basher. My Kraton is my dirt basher so I wanna make this my street basher. You think 2s is fast... 3s is wild with this thing... The chassis brace makes for a decent place to strap a bigger 3s to. It weighs it down a tiny bit more. Making it handle ever so slightly better.
I've always just used gorilla tape and had good luck with it, pretty cheap as well. I prefer the mini "camping" roll since it is cut smaller. Also, have used plastidip and it works well too.
They have aerosol spray plasti dip, but I'm not sure if it works as well. Sounds too good to be true.
I want to gravitate away from Shoe Goo, because it always eats away the paint from my bodies.
@@Boogie_the_cat yes the aerosol spray is the kind I was talking about. I have used it a few times and it holds up well for the most part, I have also coupled it with gorilla tape on my bashers and does great.
In HBX 18859a we go 1000mah battery till how much we can battery upgrade
It’s such a tiny battery tray, I’m not sure there’s much else out there that will fit lol
I sometimes strap bigger batteries to the upper chassis brace
@@DerbyCityRC But we can upgrade till 18000mah tiny battery
super informative. Thanks for sharing this.
Absolutely! Very glad you liked it! I’ve got more reinforcement methods coming out as well!
I’d say those bodies held up pretty darn good with that flex stuff. I’m impressed! I think you two are the ground and pound champions brother! 💯💪🏼👊🏼⚡️🤩🥇🙌🏽
They did better than I thought they would.
Haha, thanks!! We have a ton of fun doing it! (My wallet doesn’t always like it, though 🤣) 🤘🤘😎
I was just gonna layer up some duct tape 😅
Better than nothing 🤣
These little things seem more peppy than my SG 1601 Pro are you running these on 3S ? If so what C rating
This video was only 2s. The 18859a had a 35c 2200mah ovonic battery.
And the 16890 is running on a Gens Ace battery with the same specs I believe.
The larger tires on both cars definitely helps with pep!
Loving my 18859A. It's amazingly durable. I've beat the snot out of it at my local skate park. What tires are those and where can you get them?
Here are those tires. They work well on this truck for sure, you just have to turn the steering dual rate down so it doesn't rub the body. I haven't been able to find wheel spacers for it yet.

It is cool someone else likes the HBX brand. Out of all my trucks, the 18859a is the only car I have not broken yet. They are fun. I think I will get the 1/16 one next. I have a wltoys12428. I wish I would have got the HBX desert buggy instead. If they come out with some aftermarket parts for the HBX. They will give wltoys a run for there money. In my opinion they are better vehicles.
Yes I love my HBX cars. I have more fun with those (my brushless upgraded ones atleast) than I do my Kraton. Cuz I know it won’t break as easy and I can just blast it as fast as I want. I have fun with my desert Journey (Pxtoys) as well, but it’s not quite as solid. A few more aftermarket parts would definitely be amazing!
@@DerbyCityRC I just finished the video. You said it takes 3 days for shoe goo to dry. That is funny, I wonder if the climate difference( I live in eastern Washington, DRY) has something to do with it. When I shoe goo a body. It is dry to the touch in less than an hour. I have ran one the same day. Keep bashing !!!
That is interesting. I just did one last night and it’s good this morning lol. This time I used clear. Maybe the black one takes longer. The black stuff was dry the next morning, but was still kinda tacky for another day or two. Probably would have been fine I guess lol.
lightly triggered by the metric comment my dude... ;-) Nice vid.
Lol! Luckily I used to work on Japanese cars for a living so I’m somewhat fluent in millimeters lol.
Thanks my friend!! 😎👍🤘
Oh and by saying sensible metric system, I mean it makes more sense. 😃
Traxxas part 7122G carbon wing fits 16890 perfectly
You noticed I need one, huh? Lol
I’ll look into that. Is it just the wing or the wing mount also? The mounts start to break over time for us as well.
Just the wing
My diff cups, spur gear and center drive shaft finally came. Need to do some wrenchin
Nice! It’s a fun project!!
Great review! What’s the advantages and disadvantages to putting those bigger tires on?
Thanks! It offers more air control so it can do backflips and front flips much easier. In most cases bigger tires will add more traction, and just overall more fun! I try bigger tires on almost everything 🤣. As long as the motor can handle it, it’s more fun in my opinion!!
Disadvantages would be more pressure on the drivetrain, but we haven’t had too much bad luck there yet.
@Derby City RC what wheels did you run here on the 18859a?
The wheels that the hbx 2995 came with is what I used. Worked pretty well!
You should try going to the skate park or forest trails it's so much fun 😁
I would love to! Unfortunately there isn’t a skatepark real close to us. Definitely have a few new locations we will be trying when it warms up 👍👍😃
@@DerbyCityRC There's a skatepark in Mt. Washington... I haven't been there to try it out though. What''s your fav. RC Hobby store in Louisville area?
Oh cool, I’ll have to look into that one. I’ve heard there is also one in Tom Sawyer park. The only hobby shop I’ve been to is Scale Reproductions off Breckinridge Lane. That’s where I got my Kraton. I guess you’re in Louisville?
yep. I'm not sure about a skatepark in Tom Sawyer, but they do have a BMX track. Never seen anyone on it, and they have a big sign "no radio controlled vehicles." ...but also never seen anyone there to enforce that sign/rule.
Nice! Maybe that’s what she meant by skatepark. I’ll have to check out the mt Washington skatepark when I get a chance.
Thanks for that info!
Hbx é Waterproof?
I haven’t tested the 18859a, but it’s the same ESC as the 16889a and the 16890. So I believe it is splash proof.
Can you share a link to the larger tires you put on the 18859?
I will say i actually prefer these: www.banggood.com/custlink/Dvmdskstbq
They are the same diameter, but wider. The ones in this video are too thin making the car harder to control and they also seem to break easily. I was still going to link them, but i cant find them for some reason. I would also get these wheel spacers for it. amzn.to/3IXb4IA
@@DerbyCityRC awesome, much appreciated. This is my first RC, and I like this setup a lot. For the spacers, I would need the 12mm for the 18859, correct? Thanks for the help!
@@tnfama it’s definitely a fun car!
Yes 12mm hex, but the ones I linked are a 15mm offset, but still have the 12mm hex. The 15mm means it will push each wheel out 15mm further than normal. That way the tires don’t rub on the body when turning, plus gives a wider stance for better handling. So the ones I linked for you are perfect. 👍👍
@@DerbyCityRC Got the tires and the extensions in today... unfortunately the hub adapter threads are too big! The axle threads are much smaller so they slide right into the extended "nut" thing. I'm not exactly sure what i need to look for to fit right... do you have another suggestion?
Looks like the car is M3, and the adapter is M4
