The HBX 2995 Desert Truck is different than your average budget RC in that it has a center differential and comes fully stocked with metal gears and drivetrain. This makes it a great choice for some major upgrades-and some major torque! The center diff makes it much more controllable, and the metal driveline makes it much more durable.
We will look and see if we can get any of this car’s weak points to bear its teeth and we will find out if it needs any other upgrades or mods before we take it out again!

2 years later this still looks like a cool build/truck
Man! Funny enough we got it out today. There’s another video not long after this one where I found even better tires. Yes this thing is still incredible, thanks!!
Awesome upgrades! I subscribed because I want to get a HB 2995 and be able to repair / upgrade as needed. You actually show a lot about the process to help this newbie girl out and I appreciate that!
Awesome! Glad I could help! I absolutely love the upgraded 2995! Feel free to ask questions!
@@DerbyCityRC thanks! I'm ordering the car and parts right now? What was the motor/ esc combo you used?
I believe I have the links in the description of that video. Have you checked there?
Also in my latest video on that car from about two weeks ago, I have more upgrades and all the links in that description for sure. That way you get the same stuff! 👍
If you order all that stuff from my links, Amazon and Banggood give me a small commission so that’s always appreciated!
@Derby City RC ok, I found the links in the other video. Thanks!
You’re very welcome!
That’s the perfect setup for the 2995. Those front flips 👍💯.
It sure is! Thanks! I was very surprised how smooth they were! 😎👍
Another awesome video, thanks!.
Thanks so much for watching and commenting! 😎
Dude! That’s killer!!! Fast short wheel base, love it!!!!👍💯
Ya, it’s an awesome car with a good motor choice!!.
Thanks!! 😎😎👍
Nice frontflips! Killer Wheels! Cheers!
Thanks my friend!! 😜🤘🤘
Nice upgrades! Love the video!
Thanks so much!! Very glad you liked it!
My favorite!
Still can't believe you broke it. You guys are Bash Masters! 😎
I was quite surprised lol. Thanks!! Good channel name!!
Great video man. Keep it up and you will have a lot of followers.
Really appreciate that!! I hope so! 😎
Thanks so much for watching and commenting!!
Great video!
Thanks man!!!
Love it! I cant wait to get my 3900kv in mine! Great video!
Yes you must!! Lol
Thanks, I appreciate that!!
That little car is epic now looks great fun.
Yes, definitely tons of fun! Can’t wait to get her fixed back up!👍👍
Finally got one 😁, just not sure how i want to do the brushless conversion. I have a wp 10bl60 id like to use, but space is tight, it looks like the max10 is about the same size, but smaller fan. I was thinking of mounting the esc on the center brace, and using the empty space to make a larger battery tray, cutting out the end of the stock tray, and somehow using epoxy make the tray longer, but theres really nothing to attach to near the steering assembly, and im not sure if it will be strong enough for the battery strap.
Awesome!
Yes the max 10 just BARELY fits. You should be able to use the center brace, but you will likely need to remove the passengers.
Yeah man incredible platform very worthy of those kick ass upgrades. Nice work young man
Thanks man!!
Do you a video on how to make your ramps (w/ materials listed in notes)?
Great stuff in the vid, so much fun!
Here is that video, I show the materials and I think I talk about what I used, but I don’t have a list yet. See if this video helps.
ruclips.net/video/SnyqYnSc84o/видео.html
Gotta love this channel! Any luck locating a replacement Mod 0.6 16T pinion gear for a 5mm motor shaft? Or any other solid workaround?
This vehicle is on my wish list! Just curious if you'd be interested in a video idea; helping noobs decide what upgrades to get first and how to make wise decisions on what will fit your rc properly. Or if you already have that video, or another good resource for those just dipping their toes in, I'd appreciate the guidance. Thanks for your excellent work!
It’s a great truck for sure! Absolutely one of my favorite budget cars to upgrade. So I’m actually working on a full noob video, but for now, this one may help you. It’s an older video so has a different pace but hopefully gives you an idea for now.
Thanks!

I'm running mine with a $20 Gool RC 3500kv motor. On 2s it was okay, a moderate amount of cogging at low speed. 1st run 3s was great, but the motor got really hot and started making a strange noise. I ordered a fan for it to hopefully keep the temps in check.
Ya some of those cheaper motors do pretty well. I have a $40 motor/esc combo in my Flyhal fc610 (same chassis). It does pretty well but I haven’t tried 3s yet. The Hobbywing is amazing!
Ha. I didn't connect the motor sensor first either. Another awesome video!
This was my second install. Forgot to hook it up on the first one too (my Desert Journey car). Maybe the third I’ll remember 🤣
Thanks so much!! 😎👍👍
You had some big jumps for just right out front of your house! That thing looks brutally tough... is it really that much better with the tire upgrade?
Those tires were much better. You couldn’t control it at all in the air with the original ones. Of course the motor was what really brought it alive.
I have even bigger jumps in my Kraton videos. We have a blast! Lol
I picked up one of these used. Ordered a cheap surpass 3300kv motor and 60a esc combo. 17t pinion and new receiver and transmitter. All for about $100. First attempt at doing something like this, hope it works out.
Awesome man! It’s an awesome truck!!
I just bought 1 today definitely doing a motor upgrade
Yep it needs one! Lol
Awesome video! What MM shocks fit this car? I clicked your link and I see they range from 70mm-110mm.
That’s weird!!
They’re about 87 mm
👍👍
looks like a blast, very fun RC, nice upgrades,
It definitely was a blast! Thanks!!
@@DerbyCityRC I have been having fun with my 2995 , it's a blast, now I got a Flyhal-610 to play with too.
Sweet! I can’t have fun with mine right now 🤣🤣.
Is the Flyhal the same minus the body?
@@DerbyCityRC metal hexes, bigger tires, different body, but same thing,
@@DerbyCityRC oh and way better shocks
Ah, I had not seen this video before, very nice! I'm still waiting for the Flyhal to get here, so might as well check a few videos on this one also... Have fun there, buddy!
Such a great platform!
I can’t remember, have you seen my videos on the Flyhal fc610?
I did a cheaper budget brushless upgrade on that one.
@@DerbyCityRC Ha ha, yeah, I watched some of your FC610 videos probably 5-10 times... I got a couple cheapo brushless motors lying around, but definitely I'll use a nice HW ESC, I want the configuartion features available and easy to go to...
I'll gear it up a bit and fit some short course wheels and tyres to promote ballooning.
My main plan is the body, I have a Phat Funkenblitz just waiting to get started on this project... Let's see when I get it started, I'm always behind on this, ha ha...
Nice! I’ve been wanting to use a funkenblitz body for a while. Eventually I will lol!
Hey man, this is the first RC car my GF and I got and we love it. Point is we do not know ANYTHING when it comes to upgrades, and honostly what you did looked to worksome. Would you reccomend is fine just the tire and shock upgrades? are there batteries that we can get that would simply last longer?
I believe the tires and shocks would be good, but it’s amazing with the motor upgrade!
I believe this is the battery I used, but it depends on the connector your car has. This won’t fit the stock connector.
amzn.to/3WJHk8k
WOW, now that was some EPIC bashing at the highest level!!
You gotta try the stock wheels in front and BIG wheels in the back like a HOT ROD type of look?
Most of all, I wonder how it would JUMP and control or drift maybe even try some flat drift ties.
Hey, just typing on the fly brotha.
*BASH ON!!!
Great video.... Congratulations.... How many tooths in the stock pinion and how many tooths did you put in there???...
Thanks bro!!!
I kept the same pinion size. Stock and new pinion are both 16 teeth 👍👍
Did you need wheel spacers to add the larger tires on? Looks so much better
Yes I use the 15mm spacers from here: amzn.to/45CUuYY
@@DerbyCityRC awesome thanks man. I know the go to these days is brushless motors but how reliable would you say this setup is running on 3s? I just got this and ran through a few 3s batteries so far and it rips for a brushed motor for sure. Is this a Setup that I can run for a while without issue ? I was thinking to add a fan to the motor to help with temps but it only gets a little warm really
@4doorxj I did run mine on 2”3s once and it did great. The esc has a temp cutoff so it may be fine for quite a while!
Man i cant wait to continue seeing videos on this one.
One thing that i would like to see , is more of a breakdown of the parts you are using and installation.
My brother and I just bought this one and we would really like to to start cranking things up with it.
Thanks for the videos!
Glad you liked it! I’ll see if I can do a more detailed video when I do the chassis replacement. All these brand new parts will need to come off anyway lol hopefully that would be helpful to you!
Thanks for watching and commenting!! 😃
I got one too, very fun truck to upgrade
That would be amazing!
Thank you
Absolutely!!
You bet!!
Just ordered the 2995 along with some extra batteries and the HBX metal shocks. Not sure how they compare to the ones you upgraded to but hopefully they are good. Motor and ESC will have to come later.
Awesome!!!
@@DerbyCityRC In a pleasant surprise, the 2995 I got came with oil filled shocks...so one less thing to upgrade right now. Don't know what weight oil is in there, feels like it could be a tad heavier as it still bounces a little but it's better than friction shocks alone. May do that heavier oil in the center diff at some point but need to better learn the pros/cons of doing that.
@RoughRidersTV yup the newer versions come with OF shocks. Heavier oil on those should make it better, something like 80-100 wt probably. 👍👍
Little ripper! Chassis snapper!
Congratulations on 2 batteries though 👍😜
Thanks! Plus another half battery! 🤪😂
I ordered new shocks and they were missing the bearing in the eye spring of the new shock. Looks like yours came the same what did you do for the missing bearing?
Mine didn’t seem to be missing anything.
The top comes with a ball stud that I use and the bottom just comes with little little brass bushings. On certain cars, it seems to fit better without the bushings, but I believe I used those and the screws the new shocks came with on this car.
Hi dude, just watching this video again, I'm in the process f upgrading my Bezgard HM101 (same chassis) to brushless, I've got a 32 DP pinion, by any chance do you know if it will match the spur gear on this platform? or, will a need a MOD 0.6 pinnion instead? I appreciate any help you can provide.
It’s definitely mod .6 so I wouldn’t try anything else. Even if it feels and looks close. If it’s not exact it will eat the gears up.
i did same upgrade you listed for the Flyhal FC610 truck this setup cogs bad needs a push start to roll. the program card i have for hobby wing does not seem to set correctly. can you please help me resolve this issue.
Interesting. So the $40 motor combo is what you got? That’s odd as mine doesn’t have that issue. Just in 2s?
I installed Castle Creations SCT. I removed material from between esc and battery. Moved esc on top of servo and put in a CHNL 3s 2200 battery. She hauls now 😂
Awesooooooome!!! Sounds like a beast! What tires?
Still running stock tires. I have the 5in. Wheels but think it might be to much as the motor does get warm. Afraid if I put bigger tires on it motor will get hot. I will go down to 2s for bigger tires and should be good. I might use bigger tires and turn down throttle limit. I will keep you posted. I have some chunky 4in. I want to try first. Won't the big 5" tires be hard on the front diff?
@ingodwetrust2024 cool!
Yes they’ll be harder on the diff, but the center differential really helps keep them protected. All the crap I’ve put mine through and no diff issues yet! Absolutely amazing what these can handle.
Hey man! Whats the top speed on this setup? Also, how is the torque in comparison to the stock 550 motor? Im planning on upgrading mine. cheers.
The torque is amazing. I have another video on this with even better tires. If I remember right, I got 37 mph on 2s. Still need to get another video going on it with that info. Definitely a good choice!
Thanks for watching!
Hey man! Im looking to upgrade the motor on my 2995, what is a more budget friendly alternative?
Well I am actually about to do a budget friendly brushless conversion on my Flyhal fc610, which is essentially the exact same car. So I would wait for that video just because it’s a motor set I’ve never tried out but I have a good feeling about it. I have one video coming out in the next day or two, then I believe that conversion will be next.
What is the pinion gear you used on this one and shocks please,,, thanks 👍💯
Here is the pinion I used. Shock links coming up!
amzn.to/3RT5VpD
Hey can you put a link for all the parts you upgraded? Forgive me if I missed the list already
So unfortunately they have been out of stock on that exact motor combo for a while. This one here should be pretty comparable and is the same price: amzn.to/3IRPpEy
Pinion gear: amzn.to/3CPZ4ra
Controller/receiver: amzn.to/3Wj3FsS
Tires I recommend (not the ones in this video): amzn.to/3w4mEN9
Video with those tires: ruclips.net/video/GvNNjAeEn10/видео.html
It was fun while it lasted :) you abused the hell out of this thing, i doubt the person that created it had this kinda bashing in mind :D
Yes it was!! I know this took a huge beating! Definitely not a fault of the car 🤣
She will be back for more!! 😎👍
As always, thanks for watching!! 😃
Check out the Flyhal fc610 on bg. Same truck with oil shocks and big tires, on sale! More spare parts!
I’ve seen it. Definitely a good deal. I may get that!
Which 4000 motor would you recommend for this rc ? Its hard to come by the one you put in so i figured i would look for something else
This one here. It’s spec’d the same but the esc is even more amperage. It’s also slightly bigger though so it doesn’t tuck in to the same place. Gotta mount ontop of the servo or the upper brace.
Also first time I’ve ever seen this set on sale. amzn.to/4aMzPpi
@@DerbyCityRCis this combo better than the one in the description?
@StraightModderps3 hard to say. The combo I used was discontinued I believe. The spectrum unit should be just as good if not better being it’s a higher amp esc. I just know that esc won’t fit in the tight spot of the original so you have to mount it elsewhere.
Killer jumping and all kinds of high flying action! Amazing to me how you manage all the upgrades and damage control! I’d be in tears😂😂🤙🏽👊🏼👍🏻💯
Thanks!! Haha! Yes the repairs certainly keep me busy! It’s the thrill of landing lots of big flippy-doos without breaking that makes up for the bad landings that do cause the breakage. Or maybe I’m just making excuses 🤣🤣
@@DerbyCityRC “flippy Doos” 😂 I like it! I hate it when I break shit! When my kids were in this with me , I used to spend more time fixing their stuff than driving😝!You handle it well bro!🤙🏽👊🏼💯
I will be coining many amazing phrases in future videos 😇.
Thanks! I break more than Max for now. Still gotta work on his air controls cuz he’s starting to get better at hitting the ramp at faster speeds🤣
@@DerbyCityRC hi, where can I find this tires and can you send me similar ones for 901A? I want to drive it on grass how much would this type of tired help vs the stock ones?
Here are the tires. These would work on the 901a also, but you may need wheel spacers for that car because the control arms are not as long.
These pushed the 2995 through the grass no problem!
www.banggood.com/custlink/vGmRnHIuD2
I have one coming today. I’m bummed because that motor is not available on Amazon. This is my first 1/12th scale. Keep the torcher tests coming.
Nice!
Use this motor combo: amzn.to/41mSXpe
The Hobbywing has been out of stock for a while and I’ve heard this one works perfectly roo. But the esc is slightly bigger so you have to mount it ontop somewhere instead of where the original one is.
I have the shocks and wheels you had linked on your upgrade video.
I had two spare wheels in my box.
Nice!
Sick! 👍 I really can't tell you wich is my favorite
Ya it’s tough to figure out sometimes lol. This one and the Kraton are probably my top 2. This car here is just so nimble!! Lol
@@DerbyCityRC it is 😄 right on bro. Have a good one. Happy bashin!
@@kamakazirc2829 thanks! You too!👍🤘😎
RUclips deleted that last comment you sent for some reason. What was that you said?
This setup work well with 3s batteries ?
Very well! I added some even different tires in a video not long after this one you may want to see.
Can't wait to see your review of the hbx 2996a. Brushless and center diff.
Oh yeah...and 3652 motor...couldn't find out the kv. Lol... I will probably find out from you
Have you seen it available yet? I’ve been waiting for it to be easily available lol
Never mind! Just saw it on Banggood!
👍👍👍👍
And Alibaba...for like $85 if you buy 4...how many you need? Lol
Well one will do 🤣🤣
Oh yeah !!! I want this car !!!
Yes you do! Lol. Watch the other vids I have on it and you will want it even more!
@@DerbyCityRC I saw them and I want the same configuration haha!
Lol. It’s a seriously amazing setup! Links to all that stuff in the video descriptions!!
👍👍😎
@@DerbyCityRC thanks you !!!
You bet!
is there room and mount adjustability for larger pinions ? thanks
There is not adjustability for it without drilling your own holes in the motor mount. Some people have done it but I haven’t. I have a 16t pinion in mine and it allows you to go to a 14t, so not really a big help if you want more speed lol
@@DerbyCityRC thank you for the quick response
Your welcome!
Motor combo still out of stock on Amazon, anyplace else carry it?
No I couldn’t even find it on Hobbywings website last time I looked.
Here is a motor that should be comparable. Same size and kv
Plus another well known brand.
amzn.to/3I3tOIr
👍 NICE
Thanks!
One question do you know if I can throw a 3660 brushless motor on it,,, thanks 👍
Mine is a 3652 and there definitely seems to be more than 8mm of space left, so I don’t think it would be a problem!
@@DerbyCityRC thank you I appreciate you 👍💯
No problem!!
Thanks for watching 😁
Hey,
The stock pinion gear on the brushed setup is 14 tooth and you installed a 17 tooth. Hows that possible without shifting the motor slightly? Im in the process of installing the same setup as you on my Yoncher yc400 (hbx 2995 platform) but I cant find a pinion gear thats 14-15 tooth to run. Any recommendations other than 17Tooth one? Also, is it a mod 0.6 pitch?
Thanks,
Thanks for asking. Mine was actually a 16T, but there are different screw holes in the mount that allow for the 14T as well. So you should be able to use the 16T if it uses the same mount. This is the pinion I use and recommend: amzn.to/3tetgb5
Yes it is 0.6 mod👍
Just took a look at the motor mount and you were right about flipping it over and making it work with a 16T gear. Thanks again for pointing that out. I was off by a tooth or two in the previous comment.
Awesome!! Such a great truck!!
Im thinking about getting this, but i cant find parts for it anywhere (most hbx models and variants are listed on the china websites) but this doesnt show up anywhere, is there somewhere to get parts for this?
Yes I’m not sure why this car isn’t listed on those sites, but parts are available on Haiboxing-hobby.com
If the part you need doesn’t come up, you need to hit the contact button and send them an email with the part number you need. Then they will add it to the site and give you a link to purchase it. Not sure why they do it this way for now. Hope this helps! It’s a great RC! Did you also see the newest video I just uploaded yesterday? I made it even better.
Thanks for watching!
Yo they don’t have this motor on Amazon, is there another one you recommend? Please and Thank you
That stinks, but you’re right I just checked!
Here is a 4000kv, which should work just fine. I have it in another 1/12 car and it works well. Goes even faster than the 3300kv. I haven’t tried it in this car so I can’t be 100% sure. But I believe it will be fine, especially since it’s really made for a 1/10 scale car. amzn.to/3A0bZG2
@DerbyCityRC: Just discovered your channel and really enjoying what you do. Question - the motor linked to upgrade this is currently unavailable. Would the motor taken from the 'Rlaarlo / Croboll' car you reviewed a while back be a good substitute or is there a better option you'd recommend?
Thanks!
I know it’s been out for a while! I would go with this kit:
Same price, same motor specs. The esc is bigger physically though so it does not fit in the alotted space. You need to get creative and mount it ontop of the servo or upper chassis brace. amzn.to/3vchq4T
@@DerbyCityRC Thank you! You're awesome!
You’re welcome!!
Looks like the motor and ESC have been discontinued. Do you have any other recommendations in the same price point?
Yes I guess I forgot to update it in this video. I’ll fix that.
This is a comparable motor with an even higher voltage esc. Only difference is the esc doesn’t fit down where the stock one does like the Hobbywing so you have to get a bit more creative with placement.
amzn.to/3PDHHBg
@@DerbyCityRC thanks i appreciate it
Can you change to bigger pinion?
Not without altering the motor mount. It can fit either a 14 or a 16T
To make the brushless conversion, besides the pinion you also changed the receiver and controller? Is that necessary for the conversion? What motor did you use? I’m still looking for my first RC and this combo looks amazing
Yes dude this combo is amazing. Absolutely love this car and the parts I put on it. Yes you do need to replace the controller.
Here are parts and links I used👍

@@DerbyCityRC Hey man I just bought the car thanks to your recommendation. What kind of 3s battery would you recommend me buying for it? I plan or running it stock on 3s for a while and later upgrading to brushless. Thanks!
Awesome!! I have a couple of these batteries, however they use xt60 plugs so you would need an adapter for now. Definitely a fun car and rips on 3s even with stock, but hard to say how long the electronics will last!
@@DerbyCityRC what size do you recommend?
Can someone send me the link where they sell the differential and gears of this car? please! I really appreciate your collaboration.👍

Would same size as stock but metal wheels improve performance? Or does size matter (no pun intended)? How much for all upgrades? Would a carbon or metal chassis make sense?
HBX take note, here’s your brushless upgraded 2995!!
PS It would be nice if any upgrades were available via Amazon Prime. Banggood takes 2-5 weeks, that’s a lot of missed fun time!
I’m not real sure if metal wheels would help. It’s more the total diameter I think that helps with the tricks.
Well here is a motor that is comparable to rhe one I used. The Hobbywings are hard to get right now it seems. I’m not sure if that esc will fit as neatly as the Hobbywing one. Hopefully it’s the same size. amzn.to/3wsp08L
Then the pinion: amzn.to/404QIWE
Controller: amzn.to/3R3TK9I
And the shocks I recently found on Amazon too! amzn.to/3ZZOM1M
Hope that helps!!
Can the 2995 transmitter be used with an upgraded receiver?
It cannot (as far as I know). But a higher end controller with a new receiver would be better anyway (would also need a new esc though. What are you trying to get out of it?
It's kinda slow, so I just bought a cheap brushless motor and esc to play around with it, learn how it works. Didn't realize I needed a new receiver and transmitter as well. I watched your flyhall upgrade video after I posted on this video and went with that transmitter combo.
@kyletyler7079 cool! That combo should be fine!
where do you get spare parts for the 2995? I just broke an upper control arm and only found one place to order from online. the site seems kinda shady and haven't heard back in over a week.
Some parts are available on Amazon, but no arms yet. The best place to get them is from Haiboxing-hobby.com.
That’s the official hbx site.
@@DerbyCityRC ok good that’s the site I ordered from, hopefully they come through. Always waiting on parts it seems lol
I wish my Yoncher YC400 had this body.
I agree the hbx body is the best.
The motor combo is no longer available. What else do you recommend?
Ya it’s been out for a while unfortunately. This kit here will work and be similar, if not better, but the esc is a little larger and doesn’t fit quite as neatly as the Hobbywing I’ve been told. amzn.to/3ICoXOg
I’m a rookie in this hobby and I have the 2995. I bought a new motor that has a 5mm shaft, which is thicker than the original shaft. Which pinion gear do I need to buy?
If you can find it, the pinion I recommend on this video, which should be in the description, will still fit. It has a 5mm hole but comes with a sleeve to insert in the bore of you have a 3.175 mm shaft. Problem is, it’s been out of stock quite often lately.
@@DerbyCityRC I finally ended up finding a 5mm .6 mod pinion gear with 17t. (Couldn’t find anything lower than 17t). I used a speedometer app and attached my phone to the truck to find the top speed which ended up being 37.2mph. And WOW is all I can say. Well, that and “watch y’all’s ankles” 🤣🤣 adjusting driving at this speed has been interesting.
@Kntckymfka502 awesome!!! 🤣🤣
Ya it’s a beast! Glad the 17t worked!!
Good afternoon, can anyone help me with the user manual for this car? Thank you and I am highly grateful.
Hey where did u you get the battery’s and how long they last
These are the batteries. And I want to say with this setup it was around 20 minutes.
👍👍👍 amzn.to/3Xal1JT
Hey what oil you use for the differentials gears
I actually haven’t even changed it yet. When I do, I’ll probably do 500k on the center and 100k front and rear.
Buenas tardes, alguien me puede ayudar con el manual de usuario de este auto? Gracias y estoy muy agradecido.

Are the stock wheels the same size as the ones on the 16886?
No, the stock wheels are a larger diameter than the 16889 wheels. They are a bit thinner though.
@@DerbyCityRC I mean 16886 not 16889 (1/14 scale desert buggy hbx)
Oh, sorry. I don’t have one of those. The wheels look similar, but I can’t tell if they are the same. The stock tires on this car are about 3.75” in diameter I’d that helps.
I like that truck I may have to get one!
love the videos man i just got the same rc car you have and it is just so fun but i have one question one of my wheels are a little to the side and when i drive it it keep going to one side how do i fix that
Thanks I appreciate that!!
Does anything seem broken? Was it like that when brand new?
@@DerbyCityRC Yes it did come like that but I fixed the problem because when I first got it I took off the wheel and I put one of the parts wrong
@@DerbyCityRC also I have one question where did you get the oil filled shocks in the HBX
Here are the shocks I used. www.banggood.com/custlink/mKvdbC5GSw
@@DerbyCityRC thank you so much have a happy new year
Have you ever ran one of these with no front drive?
No, with the center diff, it won’t really work unless you lock it up.
@DerbyCityRC that makes sence.... so there is one plus to not having the center diff. . My 16890sa recently lost a pin in the front drive and had a blast drifting it till the battery died...
Hello your link for the pinion is dead u use 16 or 17t ? Thx
Dang I’ll have to try to renew it.
It’s a 16T using a 0.6 mod pitch

You’re welcome!
@@DerbyCityRChello How do you do to close the cover once the motor support is returned? Thank
I’m not exactly sure what you mean..lol
What’s the pitch in this cars gearing/pinion? 32 pitch?
The gears are 0.6 MOD. Stock pinion is 16 tooth. This is the gear I used right here: amzn.to/3OID2dt
So in theory any 0.6 mod gear size should work?
Like even these ones:
Hobbypark Steel Metal Mod 0.6 Module Pinion Gear Set 3.175mm Motor Gears 17T 21T 26T 29T 11189 11176 11181 11119 for RC Car Redcat HSP Exceed (4-Pack) a.co/d/5LmpE9s
I believe so, as long as you can get the mesh between pinion and spur gear correct
How do u only have 1k subs? Crazy. I'm considering pikn a few of these up. Do you suggest getting a brushless combo and shocks right away? Or is there a brushless version with oil shocks available? Even a truck body is fine I just want durability.
Thanks bro! These trucks are awesome, but unfortunately they don’t have any that come with brushless yet. I definitely recommend the brushless combo I used, but there are cheaper ones available. They just don’t seem to have the same performance and reliability.
I have links to all the products I used in the video description of both of these videos. Have you seen this video yet? ruclips.net/video/GvNNjAeEn10/видео.html
Also, if you check one of my recent community posts, I have a link to another car that is the same but has a different body, bigger wheels, and oil filled shocks. Still the same brushless motor. There’s a coupon code there too that may still work 👍
@@DerbyCityRC awesome, thanks man! What's the name of that one you have a link to in "community post" ? I'm not familiar with what that is,my apologies. Thanks for the fast reply.
Did you find it?
I can get the link for you tomorrow. It’s the green car. You found one of my community posts. Just click on the “community” tab of my channel.
@@DerbyCityRC I located community lol and I think I found it. After watching tons of your vids I think I'm going with the one with the center diff tho. Appreciate your help man.
How fast is this?
Don’t know exactly, but probably 35-40mph
How much did all the upgrades cost? Now you have me thinking I should return my Deerc 9201e on order for this one. Or should I just go for the 901a 🤔🤔🤔
These upgrades plus the truck itself all cost a little over $300, I also did a budget version of this, which is my latest video if you haven’t seen it yet. It’s green and it was all done for under $225. With the upgrades, I think it is a better option than the 9201e, but can’t go wrong with that one either, really or keep them both!! Lol
Also how does the hbx 905 vs 2995 vs bezgar hb101?
How do they all stack up against eachother?
@@DerbyCityRC looking for something fun (fast) and durable to get me started before dumping too much money into.
Do you mean the 901a? I actually a video dedicated to campaign the 901a and the 2995. The 2995 is the same as the bezgar hb101 as far as I can tell, also the same as the Flyhal FC610. I have links in most of my vids to the products I use and sometimes I have coupon codes I have found, so be sure to use those!!!
Yup I hear ya! Check out my two latest videos, the brushless conversion of the Flyhal fc610 and the comparison of the 901a and the 2995. I think that will tell you what you want to know 😃
Also the pinion gear out of stock
Ya they need to keep up!! Lol
Looks like the 16t on this kit should fit.

By any chance you got the speed with upgrades?
Not with these tires. I put some even bigger tires on, which you can see in this video: ruclips.net/video/GvNNjAeEn10/видео.html
I did get a speed on those, but that hasn’t made it into a video yet. If I remember right, it was around 37 mph on 2s!
Insanely fun!!
You think I can put a motor that has more power?
You could definitely play around with motor kvs and gearing, but options are
Limited. Can also just use a 3s battery. I personally don’t think it needs more power than the motor I put in it. For the size, it has all it needs! 😀
Thanks buddy, I agree with you!!
You’re welcome!
My son has this car but it hasn’t been working in over a year. When we turn on the car the lights flash then once we turn on the controller the car shuts off. Any suggestions?
That’s an odd problem. If the car shuts completely off I’d say it’s likely an esc issue. But double check the battery is good.
@@DerbyCityRC thanks for the reply. Batteries are good, we swapped out the esc/receiver and still having the same problem.
Try unplugging the servo from the receiver/esc and see if the car still shuts off.
4000kv motor will still front flip. It's the brake level that matters for front flips. 4000kv motor might get the backflip down easier. Great video that car took a beating.
Good point! Lol I guess I meant front flip recovery once it’s done flipping and you want it to stabilize. The higher low end torque of the 3300 likely stops it quicker, which was sometimes an issue during this video. That’s why it took so many nice dives 😂.
Thanks! This was a fun one and yes it sure did. Can’t wait to get this fixed!
@@DerbyCityRC yeah that's how KV works, front flips are all about the brake. I enjoyed seeing how well it snapped into these flips. Not like I can say, up the punch you nailed that to max already haha.
Well keep it coming dude
Haha, yup! I’m a sucker for that low end torque! If I remember right, brake is set at 50% and wouldn’t let me go higher, so yes I was very surprised how quickly it snapped a FF!
Thanks we’ll keep crankin!
What esc motor combo?
Hobbywing 3652 3300kv.
It’s a beast!
Thxks. Esc?
You’re welcome! The esc comes with it in the Max10 combo, but I know it’s 60 amp.
Here’s the link 😄 MAX10-3652SL-3300kv Combo www.amazon.com/dp/B072QBPS6J/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glt_fabc_932MKT5M2054T3PGC8ZY
@@DerbyCityRC Thanks your welcome to view my channel rc cars and music
I’ll definitely check it out!!
servo won't last..good video sir..4300 kv 9turn is way quicker.
I don’t doubt it lol.
Thanks!
Where do you buy all your spare parts?
For This car I typically get them from haiboxing-hobby.com. You may need to send them a message thru the website about what part you need.
@@DerbyCityRC awesome.. just picked one of these up and I can already see myself breaking stuff.. not to mention I may have a Spektrum 4000kv coming. 🤪
Not a bad choice! 😎
@@DerbyCityRC Update.. Spektrum set up is in.. on a 3s it’s just nasty for this cheap little car. I wish I could post a photo of the install. It all fits clean under the body; 3s battery and all.
Awesome! What 3s battery did you use?
Video Request: for Newbies like my wife and I...can you do a tutorial type video that shows how to do flips, etc. I'm sure we can get their on our own after repeated breakage but some tips would be awesome.
Hey! I actually will be doing a full beginner video soon, but in the meantime, here’s this one!! ruclips.net/user/shortsd2DopEG-nZw?feature=share
Amy links for the pinion please
It’s been out of stock everywhere for a while. Looks like this one should work, it’s the exact same specs. www.avantlink.com/click.php?tt=cl&merchant_id=4b85b2b7-558e-4304-89fc-54958c8f47f0&website_id=c2f80f1b-dbf2-4cba-9b5c-3080c7657977&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.amainhobbies.com%2Frobinson-racing-mod-0.6-metric-pinion-gear-16t-rrp1116%2Fp454462%3Fv%3D77976
Thanks
Can someone send me the link where they sell the differential and gears of this car? please! I really appreciate your collaboration.👍
