The RC car EVERYBODY NEEDS!! HBX 16889a PRO

This PRO version is a big improvement over the original 16889a. Having much more to offer for not much more money and being able to handle the abuse as the original. A slight odd thing that it cannot do, that the original can, has me a bit confused!!

Thank you. My son loved this truck for his birthday. Bought it based off this video and we could not be happier. Only problem is I might need one for myself too.

I got it today, deassembled and reassembled completely to put some oil in the diff and some grease, the car is very tough, good assembled and fun to play with!

Great video as always!
I took your advice and ordered one. It just arrived from Hong Kong to the UK, took about 2 weeks! 🙌

The 16899a brushless has a 2435 brushless motor, 3900KV. The 16899a Pro has a 2840 brushless 3500KV motor. So, while it is bigger, the Pro motor is not quite as fast, but has more torque. That's why it doesn't do backflips. However, it should handle larger tires better.

Thank you for giving me the tip to buy this 168889A pro! Bought it for my kid and he is very happy with it. Had to wait long time for shipping unfortunatly but it's here. Want to buy some spare parts to make sure we don't have to wait so long again. Any tips on what to get for spares? What are the weak points? Thanks!

That was heck of a whip onto the ramp it came in sideways I didnt think you had a chance but it landed that double perfectly

For flips, you have to change the tire rotation speed to cause it to flip. If the bigger motor does not allow you to flip, I am guessing your wheels are already spinning at max speed before getting airborn. This might be because you have more power and the wheels start to spin out on the ramp before you get off the ground. Maybe try letting off the throttle once the tires are on the ramp, then hit the throttle once in the air. Alternatively, more traction on the ramp may fix the problem. It makes sense that a stronger motor would spin at max speed without being off the ground, because it is not bogged down by the little rc car.

Hey bud I just started doing research on RC cars. From the results you were the most helpful. Thank you for the help. The link to the HBX 16889A Pro you posted is to a website I have never purchased before. Is that’s where you get all your inventory from? Looking forward for your response.

Respectfully,
Eddie.

How do u charge it out the box without making it melt or over heat, as this happened with my first different car.I just plugged into wall by memory and didn’t have a special charger

[anisghil]

Hello, what is the length of the schocks please? Does a 80mm shocks will fit ? Thank you

[nicholasbevars]

Great video like always! I just got mine two weeks ago and agree on the battery life not being great. I'm going to give the ovonics a try, thanks for the suggestion

[Hungrybird]

Hardened metal gears is a big plus . I think they probably use d2 tool steel . It’s not a chippy steel when hardened and pretty available . They use it in a lot of knives . It’s a tool steel with high chromium content so it’s almost stainless at 12cr

A more than proved formula. Will test my brushed version today in rain. If it survives it will definetly be the toughest and cheapest rc I've ever had!

[michaelstrafford]

The battery you use Ovonic 2200 MAH 2S battery does it fit the HBX 16889a PRO battery connecter without having to resolder anything and will the supplied battery charger work with the Ovonic 2200 MAH 2S battery and also how long Velcro battery strap do i need to buy ? thanks

[Orionman]

When I will give it for my son. Is it possible to limit the speed? 50 km/h is to much.

[richiesavino]

Is the drivetrain on yours noisey when your on the throttle while airborne? Mine was out of the box I greased the diffs and checked the mesh in all gears but the noise persists. Love the channel top notch content and editing!🤙🤙

[lancebettisfishing]

Please help! need to buy one for my sons. 5 & 7 which do i get? and do i go brushed or brushless?

[shanec]

Having a hard time deciding between this 16889a Pro or the 18859a ... thoughts? Mainly gonna be driving in my backyard on short grass...

[badtolz]

I got the 2995 a month or so ago. Love it. I think I'm grabbing this for my 8yr old for 100 bucks.
GoolRC has it for 20? Less.... is it essentially the same car?
It's not the Pro version. That big of a difference? Extra 50 bucksish worth? Thanks.

[CurtyWurty]

Hey do you have a place you prefer buying from for spare parts like shocks?
