Why did they do this with the HBX 903A?

The HBX 903a seems very familiar. Feels like a missed opportunity to have done some minor changes that could have made it a completely different car! Its still a good one, but could have been better!

Yes! Can't wait for the comparison video, between the 903A and the 2996A. I'm interested in both of them and can't decide? HBX make some awesome rigs!

Awesome!! You saw my 2996a videos right? In the meantime, that compared to this video should help your decision. 😃

@Andy_Lad Жыл бұрын

@DerbyCityRC yes i did see the 2996A video, I mean they are both brilliant. I am leaning towards the 2996A because it is classed as a 1/10 scale and I prefer the body I think.

@DerbyCityRC Жыл бұрын

@Andy_Lad can’t go wrong there! Its definitely not much bigger if even at all, but does have bigger wheels (the 2996a).

Nicely done and well said Evan! Your absolutely right. There’s not a lot they have to improve on this, but a bigger battery tray or an adjustable battery tray would be a big deal to most of us. I have this truck but it’s the one with the black and white “checkered “ looking body. I do really like it a lot. On 3s it’s blast! No doubt you’d get your backflips. There is so much new and good competition out there! HBX needs to hear consumer input and react or people will just go to the companies that do. Take care my friend! Always awesome presentation buddy! Have a great 4th of July weekend 🇺🇸🎇🎆🪵🧨

@DerbyCityRC Жыл бұрын

Thanks Robby! I did run 3s on my 901a and it caused my esc to have a delay and a bit of a mind of it’s own. That was quite a while ago. Too bad they didn’t put a slightly better one in this. But being gentle on the acceleration and hard braking should keep her going on 3s occasionally! Same with that 2996a, as it’s probably my favorite budget RTR that I’ve got, yet it’s a weak esc! They definitely need to step up their esc game lol Thanks man and you have a great 4th as well!!

@DerbyCityRC Just an update. It's been awesome with the huge tires and hub extenders.. diffs held up nicely so far. Just added some super heavy fluid.

Great review! My 903a has the checkered body and blue shocks. I changed out the shock fluid to 50w and they are mint now. I went with short course truck tires, they are taller but not as wide and weigh about the same as the stock ones. I got 31mph top speed. Have you ever tried programming the hbx esc? I have seen the 2997 done but not any other of the older models. I ordered a hobby wing card I'm gonna try it out.

@DerbyCityRC 6 ай бұрын

@mnakash77 Жыл бұрын

if you put those big tires on the hbx pro 16889 you get the most for your money and its a monster. The only drawback is the top speed which is not wow (40ish) but It performs great and is the most durable car. It will be interesting to show a side by side size comparison of your 1/10 granite and rival to the 1/12 and 1/16. And as always great and honest to the point content.

I have had these 903 tires on my 16890 and 16889a pro before. Tried them on that 16889/901a Frankenstein build too and didn’t like them on that one. For this truck, I think they’re too lightweight. Thanks always appreciate the comments!

@avolationindustries Жыл бұрын

Nice, I found similar results with my 903a. Somehow the shell is no where near as good as the 16889a or the 2996a, and those axel stubs leave a lot to be desired, I sheared one in half simply from overtightening a wheel nut. Have ordered some different ones to try, I think the location of the eyelets makes them very weak. Still, a good sized and balanced truck, that will benefit from a little reinforcement mods. 👍✌👌

@myrnav2837 great question! If you use the connector I linked (parallel connector), it will only increase runtime, not voltage. If you use a “series” connector it will increase voltage, which you definitely don’t want to do in this case. It all depends on how it’s wired.

@FeralRC Жыл бұрын

I always thought the 901a was ugly. I still ordered one the day they came available. It has been less than reliable for us but we still like it a lot. I bet they moved the motor up so it had more airflow around it. The motor in the 901a always is near meltdown on 2s but it's tucked into the chassis.

@DerbyCityRC Жыл бұрын

I actually don’t mind the looks of the 901a lol. I know many people don’t though. From what I recall, this has the exact same motor placement as the 901a. Motor right ontop of the spur gear. You’re right though, could be to help keep it cool along with the heat sink.
