This is way better than any rc i had as a kid.

Man those HBX RCs are awesome, especially with a couple upgrades like oil shocks. The brushless version is a beast. Super affordable and durable. Good entryway for people to get into the hobby without a bad taste

I have the Haiboxing 18859a brushless version and I freaking love it. It's tough and pretty dang quick! Comes with metal gears, oil filled shocks, and a better radio over the brushed one. I got it January of 2023 and I believe at the time it was about $110 with a coupon. I brought it out to my local rc groups end of season bbq and everyone was crazy impressed with it. I have plenty of big name brands and all different scales but man does that little thing put a big smile on my face!

When I see rc's like this i think back at what I used to think was an awesome rc. Back then Sears had the Lobo 1 and Lobo 2. Tyco had all their rc's. And Radio Shack had some awesome ones. I look at what we expect these days and we are spoiled.

Awesome I always enjoy watching the teardown and your enthusiasm for the hobby 🤙

Yeah, those low end diffs are a problem in the MJX… they get sloppy and fail pretty quickly on 3S. It is a shame because they have many better options that would only cost a few dollars more to include them!

[Blimpus]

Dude, you are so fun to watch! I for one am very happy this kind of stuff is available to get people in the hobby, and yes these are people who don't know and are looking to play

I got that hyper go as my first rc can back in the hobby I previously had a brushed ftx vantage about 5 years ago and man them hyper go they sure do go

[snupermoto]

I've been into RC for a time, I've got loads of large/expensive rigs, and i've got two Hyper Go's, the clone infraction, and the buggy. both run great, support 3s, are super tough, and are little rockets on 11 volts.

[weedsvsroses]

I appreciate how informative your vids are. Nice example of monkey metal vs steel.

[kylehewitt]

Nice job the best for the season buddy🎉🎉

I think most Americans have Phillips head screw divers and maybe some Allen wrenches, but not 1.5mm hex drivers. It makes sense to use Phillips for mass marketed products in America... not sure about the rest of the world though. We use Phillips for most stuff and almost every home has them.

I prefer hex, but I bought all the tools for RC cars and know the benefits of hex, most people don't.

[jamesbrown]

Yeah, I’d spring a little extra for the Typhon for sure. Great informative video!

I had the HYPER GO before upgrading to an ARRMA and you can have a lot of fun with it. the only issue I had was the front shocks were very prone to breakage with the buggy design but for the price its really solid.

After seeing some of the quality issues in this video, it's good to know that sticking to a main brand means you're less-likely to get burned. Even a Losi Micro-B feels like a better choice than these bigger rigs, despite the comparative increase in cost. The quality is just so much better for mainline brands.

[nb]

A lot of ppl buy this simply because of its price. Yes, for most ppl $150 for Mini-B or Fury 550 Mega is a lot. And $200 for 2wd Rustler is crazy expensive. Thats the kind of economy we live in today.

[SmoochieMcgoo]

Thumbs up for the propane torch shots!

[Bluecuban]

I love buying these cheaper rc's . Great video, love how you show everything.

[davehoffman]

The hbx was my first rc as an adult and its been great for my kid to learn on. The only thing we upgraded was the shocks.

We have the 2996a and 2997a now for our larger bashers but the 18859e is still fun to take to a skate park because it is so light it takes hits much better

[EmekaNwafor-ocxe]

Can those differential handle an upgrade from brushed to brushless motor..?
