Awesome review and bash! I’m sure part of the blame to the premature broken parts is the cold weather! It definitely can’t help. Your totally right about those stock tires, too small and too flat to put all that brushless power to the ground, especially if it’s wet. It still looked like a great deal of fun and it’s new look is very appealing! ! As always, great video my friend! Always excited to see what you got going on next! You and lil Max take care!💥👊🏼💥👍🏻💯

Great bash tested to the max thanks for video from west Scotland

HAHA! This thing rips well! You re son is a buzz, good job for always showing him a good time!

Don't think I've ever come across this truck before. 🙋👍🙋

The tires from the 16889 work great on this truck. I think they’re perfect

Great video review. I was purchasing my son his first R/C car and went with the 18859e initially. I quickly realized 2 upgrades would bring the cost to the 18859a and be no where near as good. The 18859e was returned and I actually got the 903 1:12 scale which is an amazing bang for the buck. Hopefully my son doesn't kill it quick only because of the extra mass.

Fun little truck!!

This car is fun. I put a hobbywing Quicrun 2435SL 4500kV motor in mine. Bolts up no issue, though it was faster in reverse. Just had to swap 2 of the 3 wires on the ESC. It's an absolutely rocket now. Just makes me laugh.

Now it comes with black plastic reinforcing the body , and mine the controller has a speed control that was set in the middle. When I set the speed to full it did a immediate backflip lol

Got the 16889 tires in the mail that I’m going to put on this. Do you think the truck will be OK in short grass? Is the 16889a pro much better in grass?

It's just like my redcat 16 I converted to brushless, the tires are bad when it's cold out,in warm weather they grip a lot more making it flip easy when turning when it's warm

This would be so awesome at the skatepark. I've been thinking about this for a while and I just noticed that they must have a brushed cheaper version because it's $82 on Amazon. I love the fact that it has two bodies and apparently can handle 3s 😱 my V1 Redcat volcano was 18 scale and I loved that thing! I still got it somewhere it does about 20 mph. Not as fast as this

I have become a fan of HBX. I have Losi,Arrma,Axial,UDI,Wltoys. I drive my HBX 18859 and my Devistator the most. So much fun. Throw some Rc4wd scrambles or mudslingers on that Devistator. World of difference. I have aluminum beadlocks on mine but the wheels that come with the truck will work.

good job bro...perfect bash👑

Hey man love the videos. This truck is my first RC. I am looking for a good battery charger that isn’t gonna break the bank. U have any suggestions? The USB chargers that come with them take forever to charge.

I have the Haiboxing (HBX) 18858 Hailstorm Stadium Truck and I'm wondering what kind of oil-filled shocks you'd suggest for it as an upgrade? Any other budget-friendly upgrades that might be beneficial? Also same question for the DeeRC 300e and the Hosim X07? Ps... would you be kind enough to do a comparison video on LIPO vs Lithium Ion and the best bang for the buck motor... and WTH is an ESC and it's deets? 🙏🏻 Keep up the great work 👌🏻

Have you done anything with this rc? I recently purchased this an Im curious to see what you have done. Thanks.

They don't do this truck in England had to buy it from Amazon America. Took a good few weeks to get here but I was very happy with it. The rear did sag abit. I stuck some 16889A Pro shocks and wheels on it and it made the truck alot better. Just wish it was larger maybe twice its size and same performance!

Great videos, im a huge fan of the hbx line. Ive upgraded my 18859s, just need to do the diffs, the upgrade diffs and spur gear appear to be the "zinc alloy" cheap metal that is compatible with the stock center shaft, the 18859a in pictures seems to have the better quality steel spur gear and diffs like the 16889a, have you had this apart yet to see if they are different? Hbx seems be doing this with their newer models where there is 2 different types of metal upgrades.

Put better tires on the Devistator and it’s AWESOME

They should hire you in their durability testing department :D(RC bodies goes brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr)

Pretty lovely RC , subscribes done bro

I got the standard brushed 16889 because it would be delivered the fastest and I liked the body the best. My God the shocks are bad 😢 and as bad as the wheels are the Phillips head wheel nuts are even worse! If they would have just put some foam and those tires I think it would have helped a lot. Believe it or not though as bad as the tires and shocks are it does pretty well on Road with some gravel because somehow the tires allow the car to drift instead of flip with too much traction. I can I really see the potential of this thing though an absolutely need the pro version and a Tire upgrade. I broke in the brushed motor and it is way faster than the first couple of runs before I broke it in. So, I'm going to order the pro and try to figure out what tires I'm going with. It seems like a lot of people are used in the "groz" tires or the 2995 tires. And the more I look at the 18th scale that thing seems to be a clear winner.

Nice review! Is this better build/quality than the wltoys a979-B?

You need to review hsp 94107 pro mine is coming tommarow ......ill share my review with ya picked it up for 213 bucks

Does the battery charge just with the usb cable or do you need something special to monitor it because I’ve heard that li-po batteries can be very dangerous.

where to get parts, wheels, body etc.

Has anyone had problems with the esc crapping out? My car seems to run ok for a minute or two and then it doesn’t wanna go anymore. It gets the go signal from the controller, tries to spin the gears and the light on the esc dims to almost nothing. Forward or reverse it does the same thing.
