Truggy version of well-reviewed HBX 16889a Pro: https://www.quadifyrc.com/rccarreviews/hbx-16889a-pro-review…

Supposedly exactly the same as the HBX 16889a Pro, but with different wheels and body/wing.

Geared for acceleration, not top speed. Unlikely to go over 40km/h, but plenty fast enough for bashing. Long run time, no heat issues, and supposedly low maintenance. From all reports, it should be tough enough to survive my 6 year old.

Currently being ozbargained on quadifyrc's facebook group.

    Dumb question… the USB thingo in the picture is a charger, yeah? Or is that an interface to play with throttle curves?

    • sclyde2 on 13/10/2021 - 11:52
      +1

      yes, most RTR (ready to run) RC come with a basic charger, that runs off USB.
      EDIT: As for "throttle curves", I am guessing that you are referring to ESC programmability. I am not sure if the ESC is programmable in this RC car. I suggest you google the
      HBX 16889A PRO - it has the same ESC and has been around a little longer, so you might get more info going that route.

      • astevens on 13/10/2021 - 12:08

        Yeah, it's been ages since I looked at RC stuff. Last time I had something like this, the Mamba brushless stuff had a USB interface that would let you change the throttle curve…
        Thanks! I don't really need to modify the throttle curve, I was more making sure that it had a charger in there. Very tempted to get one for the kids and I to bash around with.

        • ezym0ney6 on 13/10/2021 - 13:28

          you probably want speed limit for your when your kid is having a go :)

          I once clicked one of these and banggood is forever recommending it to me ever since lmao. Time to clear the cache.

        • Hazza on 13/10/2021 - 18:57

          Blast from the past. I still have my 1/8 and 1/5th scale Mamba Monster stuff. But I used a cheap programmable transmitter with EPA/EXPO adjustments for throttle curves etc as it can be adjusted real time and for any model with any ESC, not just the smart ESC's.

    Anyone have suggestions for a 6 year old?

    Have bought some from Kmart in the past and they have lasted a few days at best.

    Budget $100 or less.

      if you can stretch another 10 bucks, i doubt you'll find anything better than this around this price - unless you are looking for something slow, e.g. a crawler. i have seen vids of a 5-6 year old repeatedly jumping and crashing a HBX 16889a - it looks like it can take some abuse.

    • Bargein on 13/10/2021 - 13:09
      +13

      I don't think you'll have much luck buying a 6 year old from Kmart.

      • RDY4ME on 13/10/2021 - 14:00

        Agreed, they're all too busy working.

    • wombat81 on 13/10/2021 - 13:21

      Stretch the $10 bucks and get this. All reports are that it's much, much tougher than the Wltoys cars and the brushless setup means much better battery life and less heat issues.

      • HL2 on 13/10/2021 - 13:27

        Just to clarify, get this as in Flyhal FC600?

    • MrDixit on 13/10/2021 - 15:53

      For a 6yo I strongly recommend this one:

      https://au-m.banggood.com/Eachine-EAT06-Remote-Control-Tank-…

      (I have the SG1203, which I think is the same thing.

      6yo really struggle to coordinate forward movement and turning at the same time. This one turns on the spot, which is much easier. At 6 my kids didn't really control normal cars properly.

      I've got a heap of cars and am constantly repairing and ordering new parts. This is the car my kids drive the most, and I've never had to repair it. It's because most cars are built too powerful for their build quality. This tank is great because it isn't powerful enough to tear itself apart. Just don't upgrade it to steel treads.

      Runs for ages on stock battery because it isn't too powerful, and has a large battery bay to put bigger batteries in (if you are into it, lipo batteries give it a bit more zip, but the li ion batteries it comes with are fine. Plus li ion are heaps safer.)

      Tossing up buying a spare…

      It's heaps of fun to drive in the bush too.

      Good luck.

      • shbshb on 13/10/2021 - 16:21

        Thank you very much, that is some very good advice!

          Got this one for my daughter for her 6th birthday. It’s great fun and hard to get stuck. Doesn’t go super fast, so is great for indoor and is pretty durable. Charging can be a pain in the butt as you need to take the battery out.

          • shbshb on 13/10/2021 - 19:09

            @kumquat: I'm guessing recharging is like that to make it more water resistant? Agree, toys like that are a pain though.

            • wombat81 on 13/10/2021 - 19:13

              @shbshb: No, it's because lipo batteries are inherently unstable. They are able to discharge large amounts of current quickly and that makes them a fire risk. If your lipo goes bang, you don't want it in your car at the time, and charging is when that's most likely to happen.

              • chriise on 13/10/2021 - 21:22

                @wombat81: Oh… So next to my bed while I sleep probably isn't the best idea then

                • wombat81 on 13/10/2021 - 21:30

                  @chriise: Nailed it. Inside a lipo bag in an open area on a non-flammable surface and don't plan on being too far away while the charging happens. Never store your lipos fully charged or fully discharged. You ideally want a charger that has a storage function (like the ISDT chargers) so you can store your lipos safely and the correct level.

                  • chriise on 13/10/2021 - 23:57

                    @wombat81: Ok srs question can you recommend a decent charger for these that will let me charge safely? How will I keep them from charging fully? I bought one of the WLToys models a couple months ago and it wasn't until both batteries ran flat that I realised I didn't have the means to charge them.

                    • wombat81 on 14/10/2021 - 00:27
                      +1

                      @chriise: I use a ISDT Q6 Nano charger. Quadify also likes the ISDT chargers. Problem is that they are 12 volt DC chargers, so you need a power supply to run them. So if you go that way make sure you get one with a power supply. People also like the SkyRC iMax chargers, but there are lots of fakes around so buy from a reputable dealer.

                      • chriise on 14/10/2021 - 00:36

                        @wombat81: Thanks. I’ll do my google searching over the weekend :-)

                        • MrDixit on 14/10/2021 - 00:57

                          @chriise: Edit: sorry, misread the thread, just realised you were not talking about the tank. I'll leave the below so people know the stock tank batteries are not lipo.

                          The battery in the tank is li-ion, not lipo. It's safe as. Don't need to worry about explosions and storage voltages, and the USB charger is fine. You can use lipo if you want, but do some learning first - it's a fair bit more hassle (not rocket science though). The li-ion battery is fine and runs for ages. I rarely need to put in the lipo unless there's a few kids playing all day with it.

                          Yes you need to take the battery out to charge, but if that annoys you you can drill a small hole and pass the charging connector up into the cabin. Then you can connect the charger without opening up the battery bay.

                          Have a good one.

      It would depend on the grass. Short grass, totally fine, but it's a relatively small RC so long grass won't be so good.

    • ej255 on 13/10/2021 - 13:17

      for this sized battery yes but you can order a bigger capacity battery off ebay and getter a much better run time.

      • wombat81 on 13/10/2021 - 13:20

        I don't think a physically bigger battery fits in this car without mods, fyi.

        • merriweather on 13/10/2021 - 14:24

          Bigger capacity, not size.

          • wombat81 on 13/10/2021 - 14:34

            @merriweather: You won't get much bigger capacity without going to a bigger size.

            • AssociatedQuadifyRC @ Banggood on 13/10/2021 - 14:36

              @wombat81: Stock battery will get you 15-20 minutes. The footprint of the battery you can fit is small so unless you modify heavily you can't fit a bigger battery. Wit that said the stock battery has excellent run time

          • wombat81 on 13/10/2021 - 22:40

            @merriweather: So the guys on one of Quadifys facebook groups are saying the 1500mah battery that the WLToys 144001 comes with (blue case) fits. I'd say that's about as big as you'll get. https://au.banggood.com/Wltoys-7_4V-1500mAh-25C-2S-Lipo-Batt… Not great value at ~ $30 shipped, though.

    • wombat81 on 13/10/2021 - 14:42
      +2

      It hasn't existed very long so that's hard to answer, but since cars like this are cheap to begin with, you wouldn't be buying it with resale in mind. There's no point spending $75 on a second hand one when you can get a brand new one for $110.

  • ProggerPete on 13/10/2021 - 14:39

    Few queries. Is it possible to pair an old style dual stick control with this car? Would I need to replace the receiver to do this? Can you recommend a cheap stick controller that I could pair with this?

    • krisspy on 13/10/2021 - 16:13

      By stick do you mean like the radios used for quads/fixed wings?

      Radios usually have their transmission protocol labelled on the product page. Eg. If you have a flysky remote you can just get a flysky receiver and replace the one on this rc car.

      Never heard of this brand before, highly doubt anyone would have their transmission protocol included in a multi-protocol radio.
