Best RC Car In The World - HS 18311 4WD Monster Truck Review
Best RC Car In The World - HS 18311 4WD Monster Truck Review
Today we review the best RC car in the world, the HS 18311 4WD monster truck. This 1/18 scale brushed monster truck is capable of a stock out of the box GPS measured top speed of 27 km/h (advertised at 35 km/h) and rugged enough to take the biggest jumps without worry.
How did we hear about it? We are avid Tomley RC fans and he touted this as his favourite budget RC truck.
If you are looking for a budget beginner RC car, than the HS 18311 4WD monster truck should be at the top of your list. It truly might be one of the best RC cars in the world. Forget buying a cheap RC from Amazon, get this one instead, you won't be disappointed.

We Bought A $43 Drone From WISH So You Don't Have To

We Bought A $43 Drone From WISH So You Don't Have To The WISH drone is as you would expect a $43 drone to be...very poor quality! But this drone did surprise us in one department...it actually managed to take off and fly. Apart from that, all the promises made by WISH and the functions of the drone were inaccurate (but we knew this going in). Anyway, enjoy our first drone review and we hope to ...

Axial Needs To Do Better! The Charger For The SCX24 1967 Chevrolet C10 Is Blinking Red This has been on our minds for a long time: Axial (and Horizon Hobby) really needs to do better, especially when they supply a charger for the SCX24 1967 Chevrolet C10 (and other RC's in the same lineup) that is of very poor quality. For us, it was faulty right out of the box (blinking red and not charging th...

Traxxas Rustler 4x4 VXL BMX Track RC Bashing Today we took our brand new Traxxas Rustler 4x4 VXL for some BMX track RC bashing at a local track. So far the Traxxas Rustler 4x4 VXL has proven to be quite a capable truck to run and have fun with. We only used Traxxas 2s LiPo batteries while making this video, but we plan to get some 3s batteries in the future and see how much faster the Traxxas R...

  • @timwilson6884
    @timwilson6884 2 года назад

    5:48 It's charging via the balance lead - nothing to do with it being a 'simple unit'. Larger batteries have you connect both the main plug and the balance plug so that they can bulk charge via the large gauge wires, monitor cell voltage via the balance leads while charging and finally 'balance' the cells at the end using the balance wires to each cell ... but none of that is required for small batteries where the balance leads themselves can take the full charging current. Hence just charging via the balance plug.

    Same thing happened to me. Took it back to the hobby store, they checked the battery and said it was bad. They said they had no way of checking the charger, so they couldn't rule out the possibility that the charger killed the battery. Hobby store said I had to put in a warranty claim with Horizon... very annoying. Contacted Horizon, filled out the form on line, emailed pics of battery, charger, and sales receipt. Next day got an email from Horizon, new battery and charger on the way. Received 2 days later. Agree with you that they really should do a better job of QC, but they did honor the warranty, and sent me the new battery/charger quickly.

    Hi! I just bought a scx24, it is great but I don't want to use the original charger. I have a hitec x2 but I don't know how to charge the scx24 battery because I don't know how to do with the balance connector, I don't know if I should get an adapter and what would it be? As much as I search there are no videos on RUclips and the sales of adapters do not specify much. Hopefully you can help me, I have some RC but all without balancer cable so I don't know what to do

    • @leftcoastrc3981
      @leftcoastrc3981 3 года назад

      Best would be the buy a charger that supports the connector found on the scx24 battery. We have some links in the description of compatible chargers. The cheapest one works wonderfully well and will charge and balance the battery for you. Check it out.

      Exactly. The charger should work right out of the box. When Chinese companies can provide decent chargers with cheaper RC’s there is no reason why Axial can’t do the same. They are just trying to save money on something they shouldn’t be saving money on. Especially how careful we need to be when charging and storing LiPo’s.

      Thanks for feedback, bro! The TLDR for you: either go back to your hobby shop and ask for a replacement charger (they should give it to you for free if still under warranty) or buy a new (better) charger from the links in the description or from Amazon. Just search for LiPo chargers and pick one.
