What do you think of the HBX 901a? I think it's great!

Good video Ricky! I myself received an SG1601 (rebranded HBX brushed 16889) yesterday (thanks to one of my relatives), lots of fun, I now have 2 RCs, my SG 1601 Andy beloved brushless 144001!

Ive been looking at rhis for sometime a few weeks at least.you are thec1st to do a review ..

[andrew]

It seems like it runs really smooth and quiet.😊

[chrishunthome]

Like the look of this one know some cool locations! Great rc would like one to throw around!

[catcancrunch]

Not too bad 👍 good for the money and begginer to the hobby, thanks for your upload 👍🙏🐈

[tooleyzrc]

I am a huge fan of the hbx 16889 brushless cars. These guys do it right the first time.

[scramblatrix]

Great video mate looks like a real little winner!

I actually see a great advantage of small battery tray in any model, especially smaller or lighter models or starter models. Keeps weight down, weight+velocity kills parts on impacts. On top of that, every 15-20min you give the electronics a little cooldown, get a chance to notice loose, missing, dislodged, broken parts, and maybe save further damage. Heavy battery is more prone to exit the tray and body in crash, then it's more likely to get damaged. And if you make mistake, overdischarge, damage or short a 1 big lipo, you loose more money and more capacity from your capacity pool. Same goes to faulty cells, way nicer to loose 1of 3 lipos due to faulty cell, than to loose 1 of 1 6000mAh lipo.

I've got two of the 2995 1/12 DesertTrucks from Haiboxing with the 550 motors and 3 wire servo.
Easy swap over to bldc. They are impressive. I have a 3650 4700kv in one and its unbelievable. Standing backflips, 40mph wheelies, power enough to right itself when I flip it. Its a jumper. Ive got maybe $150 in each counting the brushless systems and I can put them up against any other 1/12 scale out there. I will for sure have one of these also. And I run 3s all day.

[roblowrie]

Another massive 👍🏻for Haiboxing!! Great little truck. I love it.

I'd love to see HBX do something in 1/10th or 1/8th scale to see what they'd come up with? If it's anywhere as good as 😎👍🏻

[divingfalconfpv]

I'm impressed they rated speed with stock battery. Seen some rated speed with a 3s and it comes with 2s li-ion that can't even give amps needed

[johncookson]

The 901 looks really good and if it takes 3s even better

[theminiatureconstructionco]

Yes! I reviewed one of these and they are fantastic for the money!!!! 👍🙋👍

[johncookson]

Hi I use a FLY VENOM 2400 50c/7.4v and they fit perfectly in the hbx 16889 pro and give you a run time of about 40 minutes

[valentinstoinov]

Nice to see that you are good and back to doing what you love 👍.I think that if they released brushless 2995 with oil shocks it would be better then this.

[philhumber]

That's a nice little car, love the shell and colour scheme !!

[IDPTheory]

Yes!! Thank you! Awesome RC. The complete package. None of the usual "it's great BUT.." (looking at you WLTOYS) and better spec out the box than most 'premium' brand models that cost twice the price or more. HBX setting the bar with this one and it's going to take something special to knock this into 2nd spot this year.
Good on you for taking it out in such awful conditions! Wait until Summer when the ground is dry and it will come alive. Top stuff Mr Beyond! Thanks for shining a light on this underrated car / company 👍👍👍

[RickOAA]

I will admit to being skeptical. I got one of these for my GF's older kid who's been progressing well in his driving...and it is legitimately bad ass. Handles well. Jumps well. Accelerates at a rapid pace. Runs through tall grass with ease. Run time is good, despite the tiny battery. If I have one gripe it's that it could use a bit more braking force. Out of our nine cars it is my second favorite. I'm getting a 14T pinion for it and it should be perfect from there.

[bradmenday]

Great review, i like this one a lot, looks like it lived up too expectations.
