HAIBOXING HBX 1:18 Scale All Terrain RC Car 18859E, 30+MPH High Speed 4WD Electric Vehicle with 2.4 GHz Radio Controller, Waterproof Off-Road Truck Included Battery and Charger

my daughter and son enjoyed too much playing it at our backyard.

Muy buen vehículo de control remoto. Lo único que esperaba es que fuera un poco más grande. La carcasa superior es muy delgada y se puede quebrar fácilmente. Lo demás está excelente. Tiene muy buena potencia.

Our 5 year old son absolutely loves this RC car. It is incredibly fast, good quality and withstands lots of rough rising on dirt, grass and doing jumps. Comes with 2 batteries which is great to keep using while the other battery charges. Charge lasts well and not too long to recharge. My husband is so impressed with it he plans to get one for himself too! Well worth the money.

Got this for my 6.5 yr old son for Christmas, it’s really cool. Works well, glad it comes with two batteries bc the charge doesn’t last super long. Worth the money but I’m glad I got it on sale. It does go really fast and it’s pretty tough.

First impressions: Packaging is very nicely done where even having some damage to the outer shell probably wouldn’t affect the truck itself. After a couple of quick snips of zip ties, the truck is free along with the transmitter and paperwork. The truck itself gives a very nice impression. It looks like a hobby grade vehicle and not something that you’d buy from Target. I was happy to see a normal 9g servo up front and everything is ready to run. Drop a couple of batteries in the transmitter, charge up the battery in the truck and away you go. Going over the truck, I removed the body clips and shell and was happy to see a well designed suspension, steering linkage, and that the general layout of the components is well thought out. It looks completely serviceable and upgradable. After I went over the multi-language manual, I found the parts list and some basic exploded diagrams which gives someone with a little more knowledge the information they need to do more extensive rebuilds. Beginners might have to think about it a little more, but the information is there. One concern is the availability of parts, but after contacting BBM Hobby, they said they will stock the most likely to break parts on the Amazon site. The radio is a combination ESC and Rx in one. The battery is charged through the balance port on a USB charger. You’ll need a USB port either on a computer or phone charger, but this also means you can charge it in your truck at a park if you’re willing to wait the 1.5-2 hour charging time. I’d highly recommend buying a couple more batteries. The battery is a 2S lithium 700mah with a JST connector. You can find high capacity batteries which will give you longer run times online. I’m probably going to pick up something around 800maH or better. I just took it out for the first time and I had a blast with it. The truck went over the grass easily and handles rougher terrain without breaking a sweat. I even took it over a bit of a gravel pile that I had and the gearing made easy work of it. At first the speed of the truck is what I had expected of this kind of build, but I discovered an all important switch at the top of the transmitter labeled ‘Slow/Normal’. I flipped that switch from Slow to Normal and I had a whole new beast on my hands. The truck can move (Yah, I missed that on the manual)! The steering is responsive and the truck handles well on flat ground. I had to flip it a couple of times when I was racing around my backyard over uneven terrain, but I do believe that better shocks will improve the stability quite a bit. As for durability, for the most part, I see this as a solid rig that can withstand a LOT! The quality of its parts seems good and it’s taken a few tumbles already without any adverse affects. I haven’t “sent it” by any means yet but I’m looking for some nearby tracks since I’m new to this particular neighborhood. In the meantime, I’m letting it roll off my stairs and having fun letting my dogs chase it around. My overall impression is that this is a great starter truck for someone who doesn’t want a toy grade truck, but also doesn’t want to make the investment into a hobby grade truck. I give it 5 starts to be honest for the truck itself, but the lack of ALL the parts being available is something I’m hopeful the vendor will increase to benefit the popularity of this truck. You’ll definitely want to get more batteries so you’re spending more time racing rather than charging. I’d also recommend buying a good charger that works in the field as well as at home. Being able to maintain your batteries will extend the life of them greatly and a good charger can help. A few upgrades I’ll look into will be a brushless motor and ESC (I’ll have to replace the servo and reciever as well) metal drive shafts, and oil filled shocks. The latter two are available from the manufacturer. Here are some current links to the upgrades I mentioned; Metal drive shafts; https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07X6FR8MW?ref=myi_title_dp Oil filled shocks https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07X5L2NP1?ref=myi_title_dp A tough, durable and fun truck for a great price.
