RC Car (Red & Purple)

Muito bom

My first RC in near 20 years, just getting back into the hobby. What to say... well, its zippy, durable, easy to run, can tolerate some splashing but not a lot of water as they say. Dries out fine. Get a couple rocks stuck in the driveline now and then. But handles excellently, excellent response on the remote, steering trim finction works great. This is a great RC right out of the box for any age, with a slow/full speed function on the remote. After some hunting on amazon I've found new replacment parts easily enough, lots of kits available, and will be upgrading my little zoomer with a better motor, metal frame parts, oil shocks and better batteries for about another $100 for all parts, and some new wheels that are metal to replace the plastic ones. For $110 this was well worth the purchase, from other videos and reviews by more pro RC users than me on youtube the Haiboxings are truly great little RC units for beginner and experienced users. Right out of the box its been a delight, the charger works well (do not leave any LiPo batteries unattended while charging, ever!) As i charge them while i drive truck all day and play in the evenings. If you mix parts from other manufacturers (frames, wheel weight brake discs etc etc) you get a really great unit for a few bucks at a time each upgrade. Definately at least get the Oil Shocks for excellent ride and stability for 30$. Very happy with this unit!!

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.

We had bought one 8 months ago for our son and he loved it and we were really impressed with its quality and speed so we bought another for my husband to use so they could use them together. It worked for 3 uses and then stopped working. We have charged both batteries and replaced remote control batteries and it still won't work. It was only used by my husband and was not at all mistreated. I've logged into Amazon today to look into return policy/warranty and it seems I've missed it by 3 days. Very disappointed as it was over $100

Costly but worth buying. For speed quick and lots of fun good quality. Steering is tricky but when you get it down u have lots of fun.
