Durable, quality, great performance, one of the best bashers out there, period.
Wow, what can I say about this little beast. Probably one of the best little basher there is. It exceeds expectations, it is super tough, very quick for it's size and handles great. The "fun factor" of these are way higher than many other faster more "high end" name branded RCs. I have 3 of these myself. After showing them off to my family and friends, they have ordered some for themselves because they were so impressed with it. You can bash these without worrying about breaking them within reason! Even in the rain! Yes they are waterproof, more so than I expected, but still wouldn't advise getting it fully submerged (although I took mine through some huge mud puddles, and still all good). I do suggest you clean and WD-40 after running it in the harsh elements to keep it alive and well. I would say the only weak points or cons so far I have found are: -Body shell is thin and will crack quick. However you can cure this by gorilla taping the inside of the shell. It will do wonders, especially where the body mount holes are. While it does add minor weight, it makes the body able to hold up to the abuse the rest of the RC can endure. -Body clips are super thin and these RCs will shed them the first time you roll or flip it. Highly recommend ordering extras and having them on hand when you go out and bash. I ordered some 1/16 clips by apex on Amazon and they are much heavier duty and will actually stay in, plus they come in a pack of 100 so if you do lose one you have tons of spares. -Battery that comes with it does not give you much run time, maybe 10 mins maximum. It also doesn't unleash the true potential of these little RCs. I highly recommend buying a LiPo for it (search "7.4v 1100 mAh LiPo JST", there are a couple options. These are the batteries for WLtoys A949, A959, A969, A979 and A929 and will fit into the HBX Rampage, Hailstorm, and Rachet. You just have to move the screw up one hole on your battery hold down). These batteries are probably the biggest upgrade you can do along with adding the upgraded oil shocks. Turns this thing into a little animal with added punch and acceleration, along with 2x or more the runtime. Only thing is to be mindful about not running the battery too low as I do not believe the ESC has a LiPo cutoff so if you run it too low it can damage the LiPo. -Shocks that come stock are friction style without oil and are extremely bouncy and make it a bit hard to control, and do not protect the chassis from bottoming out so you will bang it up quick. The upgraded oil shocks available for these are completely worth it. Highly recommend. Makes this RC go from toy to hobby grade. The only part I have broke on these is a part in the steering assembly. I would say this is the only weak link in this whole platform. I wish they had an upgrade for it but unfortunately they do not. Just be aware this is the part to check after hard hits and crashes. I have broke 2 on 2 separate occasions. Both were probably my fault as I'm not easy on these at all but as stated before, it is a weak point. What makes it even tougher is the part is not available from anywhere in the USA and has to be ordered from China. It took about 3 weeks for me to get so if you do break this part be expecting a bit of down time. I would also recommend buying extras if and when you do order it. (HBX part# 18109). Overall, I can't say enough good things about this little RC, it has been one of the best most reliable and fun RCs I have ever owned, period. Highly recommend. Thing will take abuse and just keep going, and has great performance to boot. I always bring one in a backpack when I go out bashing any of my other RCs and always end up ending the bash session with it! (My little Ole reliable!) Just wish any of the parts were able to get faster. Thank you and I hope this helps anyone looking at these great little RCs.

I am impressed with this relatively low-cost package.
I have over 20 years of RC experience flying model airplanes with some toy level RC Cars and Boats. Lately, I have taken an interest in taking a low-cost step up in the RTR RC vehicle area. This will be my report on my new truck. While I plan to use this to teach my 4 year old Grandson, the truck is for me. Goals - Able to run on my lawn Proportional steering and throttle A training tool for my Grandson So far, I am impressed with this relatively low-cost package. I look at this as an entry-level RC hobby class vehicle rather than a toy class package. Your smileage may vary. For the price, you get a full package that works well, but you can upgrade it. Reports I have read say the upgrades make a big difference, but I like it just the way it is, at least for now. Batteries - It includes two hobby-grade 2-cell 850 mah lithium batteries. There is no C rating on the batteries. The batteries have balance plugs and use the same Deans connectors I use for my RC airplanes. To my surprise, the included USB charger cable does a good job of charging these 2-cell batteries.You have to supply the charging block. After charging, I pulled out my test equipment, and sure enough, the batteries were charged to 8.12V, about 95% of a full charge for this type of Lipo. I checked the balance on the cells, and they were properly balanced. Motor - The motor is listed as a 380 brushed motor. (There is a brushless upgrade kit available.) After running the truck in my yard and in the street, it has plenty of power. Radio/Throttle -The hand control is a side steering wheel style. Throttle control is fully proportional and includes reverse. It has a low-speed and high-speed setting, which can limit the top speed. This will be helpful when teaching my Grandson. When I took it to the street and set it to the low/slow setting, the truck was still fast enough to be fun with smooth turns. When set on Normal/high, this baby flies down the street. Make a hard turn at top speed, and it goes through an exciting skidding turn and can even spin, but remains stable. I have not seen any tendency to flip. I was messing around to get a feel for the slide and bashed into the curb. No damage! Steering - The steering is fully proportional and provides smooth control. Body - This has a pickup truck-style thin shell body that is held on with 4 clips. It has hard bumpers, front and back, to help you avoid damage to the body. It comes with a thin plastic film over the body that the instructions say to remove. I plan to leave the film on to help with endurance. Amazon reviews say the clips that secure the body are easy to lose. They do include an extra set of clips, but the ones that came attached look plenty secure to me. I presume the risk is more about dropping them in the grass. Water - The specs indicate that this is highly water-resistant, so it should withstand wet grass, mud, and puddles. They do caution against submerging it. There are upgrade options that offer a brushless motor and ESC/Receiver. You can get upgraded shocks, and additional batteries. I believe there is a tire package, too. My Grandson and I are in for a fun time with this truck.

Durable, fast, fun, and a great value!
If you're ready for something faster and more reliable than a "toy" you might find at Walmart or Amazon, but don't want to spend $200 at the hobby shop, this car is the perfect fit. I got my kids RC cars when they were younger and they really liked them but they were cheap toys and once they broke we couldn't repair them or find parts. We were ready for something of "hobby" grade, but that can get really expensive pretty quick. This car from HaiBoxing has the durability, performance, and parts availability of a true "hobby" grade car without the huge cost. A couple highlights: -Fast - Great acceleration, and decent top speed. -Great handling - a smaller car like this can be hard to drive straight but this tracks really nicely, quite a surprise. -Fun - Racing, doughnuts, drifting, jumps, no problem! -Great quality build - though this is very affordable, it has a lot of the higher end things you'd want in an RC like 4 wheel drive and metal drive train including metal dogbones. Those are often plastic on this size and price of car. -Durable - It seems well-made and we've flipped it and crashed it with no problems so far. Because it's so light, even if it crashes at full speed, there just isn't a lot of forces or inertia to cause damage. -Great battery life - The 850 mAh battery lasts for probably 20 minutes, and then there's a second battery, too, which means there's enough juice for everybody to get a turn driving, even Dad. I also like that the battery has the Dean's/T-plug connector. A lot of smaller cars have a proprietary connector, but the Dean's is very common so if you want to get a bigger battery down the line or want to swap out a battery from another car it's not a problem. -Stickers - It came with a sheet of sticker decals that you can put on the truck to customize how you like. My kids thought that was great. -Low Speed Mode - An absolute must! We found this out the hard way. We had another car that didn't have a low speed mode, and it was just too fast to control safely in the house or for the beginner. With this car, a quick switch and your top speed is reduced probably 40% which means you can now drive in the house without damaging the wood or running over the cat. It's also a really nice feature to have if you want to let the neighbor kid or a novice drive the car without you wincing every time he almost t-bones a cement curb. -Parts Availability - We haven't broken anything yet, but when kids are driving at these speeds, eventually something will break, so you want to make sure you can get parts otherwise it's very frustrating to just have a nice car sitting on a shelf because it won't run. I checked ahead of time for this model and every single part on it is available separately so that's good to know. Overall we're extremely pleased with this car and I think it's the perfect fit for the kid who's ready for something faster and better quality than the typical WalMart toy. As an adult, I like it, too. It's fun to do doughnuts and bash around outside, but I just can't justify paying $200 for an RC car, so this car really fits the bill.

Excellent for the price.
I have been involved with the RC hobby since I was a young boy (over 35yrs), so I have seen a lot of changes through the years, and have learned a lot about land vehicles, planes, helicopters and quad copters/drones. For the price of this truck, I have not ever seen or used an RC vehicle that was this fun, and of decent quality. These days, it's easy to spend over $100 and end up with crap ( which i have done a couple times). This Haiboxing model 18859 truck is great. I got this for my 5yr old son who has crashed, smashed, and bashed it at high speeds many times, and nothing has broken on it yet. This truck is very fast in normal speed mode, and truly is good quality. Being that it is 4 wheel drive, it burns through our yard on grass with ease, faster and more easily than other trucks my son has that are 3 times its size. The cons....the li-po batteries that came with this do still work, but the charger that came with this does not balance the cells well, so they have started to lose their run time. So the charger is not very good, I use my own balance charger, and I will be buying replacement batteries of a little bit better quality. The shocks that came stock worked fine at first, but after a few months of use they broke down and started to bind up. I was able to find upgraded replacement shocks which are better quality, but they were $20 for the set of 4. So the price of that is steep considering the whole truck and remote with 2 batteries was under $120. The motor in the truck I got (about a year ago in Jan 2022) was not brushless, however it works very well and has plenty of torque. I would have preferred brushless, but that wasn't an option with this model at the time, and honestly this truck does just fine with the brushed motor. It looks like now the newer version comes with brushless. Overall I really can't complain with the two cons I have listed. The amount of use and abuse this has taken at my home has absolutely qualified this truck as a great value, especially for someone like me that wanted this for my son who is new to the hobby. I wanted something cheaper ( as opposed to some rc trucks that are $400-$800), but not junk. And that's exactly what I got with this, it is a great truck for what I paid and I definately recommend it for someone starting out, or who just wants something better than the average big box store rc truck ( like WalMart). My relatives have spent $80+ for trucks that are absolute garbage compared to this Haiboxing model, and my sons truck would drag these across the yard if tied together in a "pull off" fashion. If you are looking for something decent that won't break the bank, is fast, 4 wheel drive, 2.4ghz remote, 2 batteries, and some replacement parts available on the website....this will work for you.
