fell in love with this car, I got myself three brushed, brushless and the pro version. Then upgraded alluminum parts for the pro version man its a 10/10 car robust stable and quick! super recommended
Very very fun little truck... I bought 2 after watch your video, one for me and other for my son with 10y. Amazing fun for dad and son together. Thank you for this!
Cheers dude... I went thorough a stage of trying new stuff out on Final Cut... but it takes way to long to do lol. I may get back in to it a bit more when I'm doing it full time :)
I have one of these. I’ve tried to break it. Run it on 3s exclusively. I can’t. I can overheat it but that’s about it. Even play chicken with my buddy’s xmaxx. Unbreakable. Btw the gens ace 800mah 3s battery fits the tray perfectly.
tomley, i know you have both the 1/16th and the 1/18th scale 18859. are the diffs interchangeable from one to the other? having problems finding the 1/18 metal diffs, but plenty for the 1/16th.
Does the one they are selling on their amazon store come with the oil shocks or not? I called the customer service number for the USA and they said it did. Just curious i ordered it anyway. Thanks
Mine broke already lol. I tested it at the beach. And ran through some water. Later on it wont run. But it still turns. Just wont run forward or reverse
This could probably use a bit larger pinion, I'd say 4 teeth up for the skatepark on 2s, or maybe if the esc handles it go 3s lipo as it is (driveshafts might not make it though.)
Great video what do you think of putting a brushless motor with esc in a red cat I just bought it and week ago is it worth it will it stay together in would appreciate any information you have on going brushless on the piranhas redcat cat only have 80 dollars in it could you tell me how too do it thank you again Mike holden out of North Carolina said that
Great video gonna order me one by the weekend if there not sold out on bangood very dam tough truck got too have one and a great price less than 90 dollars can't beat that luv too collection them rc cars trucks and drones great video keep the great work up Mike holden out of North Carolina said that
@@TomleyRC if I sent the car too you do you think you could set me up a brushless motor with esc in will pay you for your services Just can't see as good with diabetes is have the car is a red cat piranhas I'll let you pick out the brushless setup that we need I'll pay for shipping and pay you for your work Mike holden out of North Carolina said that please get back in touch I would like you too. Setup the brushless system don't like too deal with the hobby shop you name the price and what set up some people say a castle brushless motor and esc will work any information would be greatly appreciated thank you again
@@TomleyRC gonna pick me one up soon I have a rustler 2 wheel drive it's all hoped up it will run 80 mph before you noticed it is a beast have 6 rc cars but that little one for less than they were asking around 500 dollars for it came with 4 extra batteries and remote I got it for=
Nice one gov!! This stepson was really tough, you're not joking mate. It's cheaper on Banggood than the 144001 and a tad bit more expensive than the a959b, would you say it's better than those 2 cars? It jumped beautifully!! 👍💯
@@bigb69ti my experience with the 144 has been horrible, broken front diffs to knuckles to servo issues. Some people had better luck. I'd go with the HBX and do the upgrades especially wheels and suspension.
Plz did this is around $130 Australian dollars here what will be the next one down from This ? This is not to fast even if sonthing slower but some power and. A truck I wanna Leif have my first rc any help would be great love ur channel mate
Hello...nice Video is it new product from HBX? Not many video for this truck, and I'm still confused to buy this HBX or WL144001, they are in same price in my country
@@tooleyzrc1973 thx a lot i’m going to look for one now also i just recently put the Redcat Volcano 16 tires on it & it performs. for 20$ bucks there worth a try.
Hey bud awesome vid. Man you put that through its paces haha. Very interested in this one man but their is so many around this price range it is hard to know which to get. I have the 979b coming and want another. Would the 4001 or whatever number it is hold up as well as this one? I cant believe how much this thing took and didn't break a thing? I want a basher and man did you bash it 😂😂😂🙈 new supporter here from the uk as well bro 🙏🙏😎
Hello mate thanks for stopping by. This one is certainly tough! Although the 144001 is still the No.1 Budget Basher in my opinion. Try this code (Banggood) on the 144001, makes it just over £50!!! Bargain! Code: BGRC144001
@@TomleyRC hey bud thx for the reply. It is 69 odd quid at mo and I tried that code and it said can only be used 300 times and it didn't work gutted man.

Is that one another good one and is tomtop ok to order from? Cheers bud
PropGear TomTop is not to bad, wasn’t sure if they were still about as they used to sent me stuff. I’d maybe hold out for the 144001, it really is that good!
@@TomleyRC thx bro. My bud has 2 coming now haha happy days. I will have a close up of how good it is. He ordered one for him and one for his son 🤣🤣🤣 his son is 5 🤔😱🙈🤣🤣🤣

I just bought one. I can't wait. It's looks cool. Thanks for this review. I'll do something with batteries soon too.
Awesome bashing, dude! Pretty impressive little truck! 😃
Great edit and music choice!
Thank you. 😎🤘
That little sucker is quick , loved the flip off of yourself that was cool
Cheers dude
6:25 - that dog wanted to play too :-D
haha, yeah, they always want to play!
"Friction dampers my favourite"
🤣 Epic. Nice truck bro all the best ! 💯😁
Haha cheers
This RC car is unbeatable on the market for the price. All around perfect 16th scale RC
anything u would get besides this one for a 1/16 scale
Waaaay less bouncy than I expected for friction shocks.
When you said "durability test" I had no idea what a balletic treat you had in store for us!
haha, cheers Del. It started as a 'Lipo' test....and then escalated 😎
Man that's a tough lil truck almost like a baby x Maxx super cool review
Yeah, tough....
Very nice after effect intro!

@@TomleyRC I think alot of people don't truly get how much time an 8min video take to get out the door. I know I didn't 😂
I got the Haiboxing Ravage Brushless and it’s a great truck 👍🏁
It's the same car
@@tooleyzrc1973 all these Amazon Rc’s are the same car under different names.
Mine now does 36mph after upgrades
What upgrades have you done mate ?
that was a great video, fair play it took everything and you were a bit mean to it 😀👍
Yes, took lots of big hits.
I love this RC I have two of them. I wish they made the exact same one in 10th scale.
A 10th scale would be nice ☝🏽
Me and my friend have been saying the same thing but it would put Arrma out of business.
@@tooleyzrc1973 you are right 😇
How do I fix mine it doesn't drive foreord nor backward pls help idk what to do

Haha… super tough aren’t they! Cheers for the tip on the Lipo 👌
Cool as mate can’t wait to get mine 👍
Ordered one thanks to your previous video on it! Hopefully be here by Christmas 🎄
Hopefully! It's a decent truck
Nice little small car 👍🏾
Is this the same as the nuoke ravage?
She's definitely more alive with Li-Po in it!
Yes, oil suspension and it would be perfect.
The stock shocks that come with this are too unstable, can i fit wltoys 1/18 oil shocks on this which will lower it by 10mm thereabouts.
You can and indeed one of my cars has the 18th scale shocks on them but it rides kind of low I would suggest looking on bang good for the right size
Nice looking little thing
Yeah, looks nice this one
Breaks easily keep breaking the body mount posts that's the week spot on the 16889 . They need to make thicker stronger ones

Hahaha nice! We came out with a vid for the same truck on the same day lol. Great minds brother lol. Nice bash!
lol yup, but hey both you guys... what's it got for hubs (12 mm please!!)
@@modelnutty6503 yes it's 12mm hexes
Yes haha. This was my second run, it's a tough little thing!
Mine broke already lol. I tested it at the beach. And ran through some water. Later on it wont run. But it still turns. Just wont run forward or reverse
you ran it through saltwater that is a huge mistake
hello,nice vidieo nice truck and very good driver
hello from France.
see you soon.
Bonjour
does the esc have a voltage cutoff for lipo? can it be programmed?
This could probably use a bit larger pinion, I'd say 4 teeth up for the skatepark on 2s, or maybe if the esc handles it go 3s lipo as it is (driveshafts might not make it though.)
Yes, maybe a tooth or 3 :)
is there something like this, a budget option, in a larger scale? i fear this would be swallowed up in the grass and hills in my yard .
Great video what do you think of putting a brushless motor with esc in a red cat I just bought it and week ago is it worth it will it stay together in would appreciate any information you have on going brushless on the piranhas redcat cat only have 80 dollars in it could you tell me how too do it thank you again Mike holden out of North Carolina said that

Can you do 3s test on this?
I have a couple more coming (different body styles) so might try. (I've gifted this one out now)
Dude! What song was that at the end. Pretty badass!
I've heard on the grapevine that Wheelie Yellow uses this chassis for 'the van'.
Yes, from what I've seen it is the same. Looks so good with that van body on it :)
3s ???

The 144001 is still my favourite, but this with oil shocks would be my choice over the A959B
so would this hbx be the best out of all these to run in the grass/woods/rocks? 144001 sets lower?
@@bigb69ti my experience with the 144 has been horrible, broken front diffs to knuckles to servo issues. Some people had better luck. I'd go with the HBX and do the upgrades especially wheels and suspension.
yah and its the cheapest $ brushless, is the controller really that bad on the hbx? that has been the main reason i am looking at others rc
@@bigb69ti Also look at some of the lower end Arrma and RedCat stuff, they're pretty 👍 good.
How does Redcat get away with cloning these trucks? I was working on upgrading my Volcano 16 but I think I will just buy a 16889 pro!
