I spent $200 on a hosim for my son’s Christmas gift. I am sending it back. It has a sticking point when the wheels go to the right. The servo seems to be underpowered. Furthermore, no servo wire gets smashed by the battery, future fail point the batteries sit clumsily. For the most part, it was nice. But it has a couple rough flaws. I just bought something different for a lil less at the local hobby shop, albeit not tenth scale. But it seems higher quality

I just like how that mower was handling business! 😂

i like the way the motor sounds too, also you had me at "do it!"

I had the X07 and after a few diffs fairly quick it doesn’t get used anymore. Good video

These reek of rebadged XLF. We had 2 XLF models and they were both the biggest doodoo cars we ever had. Ended up throwing both them in the trash, not even worth stripping down for parts.
The Hosim 9155 was a formidable beast though. Passed it along to a friend and he's still bashing it with no problems years later.

You guys are right about Mojave fronts and k6s fronts for the rear on an arrma granite . Whoooo It’s like a cream puff now and standing up fully with the springs to the top .

There’s something about the newest version I’m digging. I even like the silly bounce from the shocks. However I refuse to purchase an rc over $100 that has friction shocks. I think you made an excellent point in saying you probably wouldn’t want to upgrade it and just drive it as is. Awesome video, very informative. Thanks again for the great work 👍✌🏼

If you don’t mind me asking what 3s battery are you using !?!

Great review Evan ! I have the X16, funny the 16 came out before the 15 LoL! Any way, I found these trucks to be awesome back yard bashers. When I tried 3s in mine it worked ok and I experienced the same issue with the rear dogbone coming out. I recommend taking a closer look at that diff cup, or drive cup. The reason my dogbone kept coming out was because the drift cup cracked all the way thru on one side allowing the dogbone to find a way out under that extra power. Definitely register yours and contact Hosim regarding the issue. They will want pictures sent of the issue, but will send you a small bag of spares very quickly. So it’s worth registering. I think these do great on 2s tho. Like you said, there’s no real need to go 3s with these. They do it but they get wicked hot and the plastic drive cups can’t handle the extra power. Super fun basher tho. I like to run mine with my hbx 901a . Very similar in performance! Hey dude, have a fantastic weekend! 👍🏻😎✌🏼🍻🏁
Oh yeah, I know you’ll do the right thing and throw some oil filled shocks on this. This truck handles and lands so much better with the ones I put on.🔟👍🏻💯🤘🏽

Hosims are a little brake heavy, they like to Cart wheel, adjusting throttle trim helps some.

Great video as always! Interesting about the plastic dogbone popping out of the rear end there. This looks a lot like the failure mode of the HBX16889 platform. Once they start to get a little wear and some stress the dogbones pop out of the rears pretty often. On those the solution is full metal upgrade. Not sure if that's available for these Hosim rigs or not. It would be interesting to see if or how much the problem gets worse over a few more runs.

Quadcopter/park flyer motors. Interesting.

Rear differential was the first thing to break on my Q903 other than that really good budget car

The downside i see to an outrtunner motor (if I'm getting the name right, probably not) is that you would struggle to cool it. You'd have to put a fan behind it, if there was space for it.

They look like good cars and they can take a beating. You really show what they can take, which is good for us. I think the only problem is the price. They are basically $160 on Amazon, .Some of the HBX and Hyper Go cars are cheaper. I think the lawnmower test was one of the most extreme. Keep up the good work.

I’ve been running 3s 50c and it’s been running just fine

I just bought the x15 car a few weeks ago:. Put some oil filled shocks and this thing is one of my new favorites .. I love that motor sound …. Light, nimble, and I swear this thing wants to land on its wheels!!!

[jtschmidt]

Those definitely look to be a good player in the entry level game 😁.

Thanks for another cool video. Definitely looking forward to the next one.

Great review, these seem like great bashers. I like Hosim and how they appear to take customers feedback and try to make their rc’s better over time. I can’t say that for a lot of budget rc companies
