Hosim is excellent with customer service. Register your purchase and they send you replacement parts anytime you need. If the damages are extensive they even sometimes send you a whole new RC. There are also upgradeable parts for their models available at their store and some aftermarket stores. I actually love Hosim line of RC Cars.
I love mine an NO I'm not a casual I've been into RC's for over 20 years an being a owner of Traxxas,axial,redcat,losing ECT I love my hosim with a 3s I hit 52mph an have had zero issues
I definitely love all your reviews I've been in this for 45 plus years I don't know what people do normally but your reviews are very substantial an informative so block out all the negative comments and just do what you do I really do appreciate everything that you do because it guided me not to buy some things or to buy them LOL anyways I think you're a super guy and you have a lot of information to share
Yes you are definitely a good source of information I am now going back and watching some of your older videos just to get more information but you're definitely good at informing an old RC guy as well as somebody new to the Hobby keep up the good work guy
Keep up the great work brother … it’s so nice to watch a RUclipsr who is honest, & not under the thumbs of these companies ..I appreciate u always keepin it 💯…. Thank u for making all the Valkyrie videos, & inspiring me to buy another one. im in Love with that machine … don’t understand why there isn’t more hype around it ? For 300$ its hard to beat
@@kevd803 The problem is most hobby stores don't carry these vehicles and I believe that is partially the problem. Redcat in my opinion is digging their way out of bad early decisions when they were a younger company. Hobby shops are hesitant to carry the Redcat full line because they are worried about the company continuing to cut corners where a customer would potentially be unhappy
The drag brake I do believe can be adjusted and ideally eliminated by adjusting your throttle trim. I have a super fast 3s Hyper Go RC that eliminates the brake by using the throttle trim
With the 120c pack youre getting 180 amp discarge rate. With the 35c pack youre only getting 75 amps. Its not only about the c rating though. The c rating determines how many amps the battery can draw based off of the mah.
Between 30 or 40 mph good job on the video RC car garage keep up the good work and always be yourself my man if people don't like it just beating you because I'm a fan of your channel and I'm always be a fan of your Channel💯💪👍
far out bruz you have gott to be the most honest reviewer tester destroyer and im gonna say your a shelfa coz watchin some of these says no more than nos expected so its good honesty goes everywhere lies just go in circles
Its easier to Google"39mph to kilometers per hour" Or just say kph slightly slower for consistency. same with maps, Town to Town name and it will display a route
Thank you man!!! You really give a good overview of these vehicles for individuals like myself that have a interest in picking one up. even though it's cheaper than a more expensive brand but it's still nice to see what I'm getting as far as the pros and cons. Your one of he best channels on RUclips in my opinion!
25 on 2s 😂. I’m watching La Facheema. lol. New subscriber. Hoping I can get some good info and knowledge from your stuff so I can make my first purchase.
Check out a 16th scale the beast with stock 2s batt itll do 35mph legit then on 3s seen 49.4 mph guy was jumping a tree a 20foot tall tree cpl times landed on wheels broke nothing its like $100
Any interest in that Hosim X17 they call 1:8th but is more like 1:10 scale? Just curious about that it has a slipper clutch unlike the X08... idk you can get those for like low 200's with the right deal....
I got it on sale for 140$ after using a 20% off copon, i was really thinking hard if i should get it or not after watching all your videos about it, however i have some good news it seems like they have removed the drag brake in the latest models as mine didn't have this issue, i am happy with it and i think for 140 it is quite a reasonable price assuming you get one without the drag brake.
I just had a thought about how to lose less body clips, instead of putting them on from the outside in, reverse and put them on from the inside out. Just a thought
I was thinking about inertia, since the pins pull out the same direction of the inertia in a crash. If they were placed inside then inertia is pushing them in. I'm probably not explaining what I'm trying to say well. Sorry, I love your channel and I have learned so much from you. I just thought I might have a good idea. But you do that stuff professionally. I'm barely learning how to do this stuff. I do want to buy sine of your new stuff you are making. Thank you for all of the great content
Well I think top speed of the 2s pack was 27 mph so 3s at 39 is a surprise 😮wow I was expecting the 120 c to be punchy but not faster😮 still not getting but impressive
I have a legendary Sonic rc truck with a 4200 kv hyper go h16bm brushless motor/esc and it does 38.8 mph on 2 s 2200 mah 50 c lipo battery scared to try 3 s
Surprisingly, I do not have the break issue mentioned in lots of X-07 / X-08 reviews. Instead, I am pretty sure I have just killed my second set of diffs, again without any heavy driving or using the break from more than just very slow driving. 🤯🤮🤬
Oh, and I can confirm this things is crazy fast for its size. It‘s really difficult to get it to full speed because it still wheelies at 75% throttle and we don‘t have those huge parking lots over here. But I still got it to 60 km/h so probably 37 or so mph.
@@rcguygarage No, definitely not. I like the car, and I could do with the motor overheating quickly, but I don‘t know how I am treating it wrong so the diffs break. My driving is so much lighter than yours, and still I have four broken diffs…
Initially i thought it was decent until i saw the price $249 is way too much for this, especially with that drag brake and you look at the other "cheapos" for that pricr. For that price i think we should at least get a real surpass hobby esc to turn off that garbage Its a beautiful truck...but nah bro might as well just stick to the x07
assistant works better wen u say --mph to kph key words-> coverting or to ARE WAT d algorithms looking for wen converting mph 2 kph i say to shorter n quicker
@RCGuyGarage OK maybe I just haven't watched quite enough of your vids but so far it seems like you just TRY to trash these cars, don't get me wrong I understand you want to find the weak spots so other people know what to expect, but when you're so hard on them constantly yeah something's going to break, but you don't have to trash the whole company like it's a con because it's weak in that certain area . Maybe just try spreading some positive energy in my humble opinion no offense peace brother

oops "love" not "lovec" my bad.
Always lower the front suspension for speed testing to prevent it from wheelie
Really wouldn't make a massive difference for this particular unit 👍💯

Take that drag brake and SEND IT!! Bust out your ramp guy!

Dang GUY you are 👍💯
good video, informative,... keep it up 👍
Well I think top speed of the 2s pack was 27 mph so 3s at 39 is a surprise 😮wow I was expecting the 120 c to be punchy but not faster😮 still not getting but impressive
Yes 26 and 40 that WAS a surprise
@@rcguygarageNot really. 3S is 50% more than 2s, and 26 * 1.5 = 39 😉
Right but 40 i was surprised from 26 despite math as things don't always pan out with these
Why would anyone get their knickers in a twist about battery charge.?
I don't know why, but I've seen it.!
Good review

Wheel nuts you can fix. The drag brake not. I'd say no just yet. Especially for the price.
Hosim websites says 68+ kph , 64 is pretty close in the real world 👍👍
Yes I was surprised at 40mph
So to achieve the 68kph you have to buy an 11.1v battery?
Can You can go in and reprogram the esc
The answer to your question, 64.374 kilometers per hour is equal to 40 mph. Which I'm sure you found out by now. LOL
@@raylee4324 🤣😂👍💯
It went 26 miles an hour on a small 2s and 24 miles an hour on the big, 5200!!!🤪😂🏎
DANG you are watching👍💯
The weight of the 5200 mah was slowing the rc car making it not faster weight matters
Just some dudes here hoping for that 1 more MPH
Where are you from? Up state NY ? Mass?

Hello friend
Initially i thought it was decent until i saw the price
$249 is way too much for this, especially with that drag brake and you look at the other "cheapos" for that pricr. For that price i think we should at least get a real surpass hobby esc to turn off that garbage
Its a beautiful truck...but nah bro might as well just stick to the x07
I did have higher hopes cause of how much I didn't like the X07
I still want one
😳
Is that a 10th scale
No
@@rcguygarage I am new at this when I was a kid . I wanted a r.c. truck got one a 2s what is a good battery for them
Theres is no mathimatical possibilty that battery is 120C, 25C at best.
What you talking bout Willis. Drunken math ALWAYS works out
Do you have Throttle control
BARELY
On the typhon it has throttle control nob. I can adjust the brake on it from coast to drag
@@robertbloodsworth352 nice
Seems like the Chinese knockoffs have caught up are they worth it. What is your favorite one. Your right is right 👍
I race all these cars too
Anyone have a link to a good 3s battery for this thing?
Agreed...i try not to buy these anymore...
assistant works better wen u say --mph to kph
key words-> coverting or to
ARE WAT d algorithms looking for wen converting mph 2 kph

Probably swapping tires …??? I’m sure those are little saucers …
that is strange it has drag brake
Look at this kar
39mph on 1/10 on s3 like i said look up the beast 1/16 2s 35mph 3s 49.4mph its brushless
I'm the SAME WAY

🤣😂 BIG BLACK HUNGRY
40 maybes per hour depending on the battery thats not givin
26mph to 39 so far
