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.

      it shows 16 before I purchase mine, and it still shows 16 now, so I will say it is not a LIVE update.

  • aofangbaike on 13/10/2021 - 15:45

    Can I ask what's special about this car over other cheaper and good looking cars, except faster?

    • wombat81 on 13/10/2021 - 15:49

      Brushless motor at this price is great. It means less heat, quieter, much longer battery life. This car is also reportedly tougher than others in the bracket eg Wltoys 144001, so won't break as easily.

      • aofangbaike on 13/10/2021 - 16:03

        Thanks for your reply!

        • wombat81 on 13/10/2021 - 16:07

          No problem. Also, while this is pretty fast, it's certainly not the fastest in this class. This car excels as a "basher" (driving it off-road, doing jumps etc). If you want an on road speed car, there are much better choices.

    I already have a unhealth RC addiction.. this just makes it even harder 😅 although I've never been a fan of the Chinese 'grade' of hobby cars. The name brands Traxxas / Yokomo / XRay + RPM accessories will last a lifetime & imo worth the extra. Of course for kids its a different story.. Just buy some common break point parts when u buy the car so you're not waiting for 1 month due to a snapped a-arm or something.

    • wombat81 on 13/10/2021 - 16:08

      To be honest, these look pretty hard to break.

    • S Padival on 13/10/2021 - 17:00

      Any idea where I can buy a decent servo motor (cheap Chinese preferred 😂) and replacement controller ? The ones that came with the Target Hot Wheels 1:10 Cybertruck is cr@p.

      • wombat81 on 13/10/2021 - 19:53

        Aliexpress, Banggood, Ebay or Amazon. No idea how you'll find one compatible with a random Target car though.

      I dont have one, but it seems that the IMAX B6 is pretty popular. QuadifyRC recommends the ISDT chargers: https://www.quadifyrc.com/rccarreviews/a-better-charger-for-…
      I got the 608AC. Bit pricey, and it needs a adapter to work with the batteries for cars like these (the batteries are deans/t-plugs, but the charger is XT60).

      • wombat81 on 13/10/2021 - 19:16

        Yeah, I have a ISDT Q6 Nano. Great charger but it's 12 volt DC, so you need a power supply to run it. And yes they have xt60 connectors so you'll need an adapter to charge lipos with Deans plugs.

      • UFO on 13/10/2021 - 17:24

        hahahaI was just reading it. Has some awesome reviews and insights.

        This 1/12 scale reads very well. https://www.quadifyrc.com/rccarreviews/hbx-901a-review-durab…

        Not looking for top speed. I want acceleration and battery life in a larger car (much more stable).

    Can anyone link to purchase some 'big' batteries and a proper/faster charger for this car? I am totally new to RC but have just purchased one for my son. Thanks. Thanks OP for the post.

    • wombat81 on 13/10/2021 - 17:45

      As discussed above, you won't fit bigger batteries without modding, and they probably aren't needed anyway.

      • zn7726 on 13/10/2021 - 20:05

        I mean larger capacity but same size battery, like aaa-size rechargeable batteries vary on capacity.

        • wombat81 on 13/10/2021 - 20:12

          This isn't really a thing with lipo batteries. Generally as capacity increases size does too. You might find a 1100mah or 1200mah that fits but the different in run time will be negligible. If you want longer play time, just get more stock batteries and change them over when they run flat. I suspect you'll find that the play time you get from 2 lipos will generally be enough for a session anyway. After about half an hour you will have run out of things to drive over, jump over, race around etc anyway.

        • wombat81 on 13/10/2021 - 22:39

          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 14/10/2021 - 00:29

            @wombat81: Quadify says this in his review too. I obviously missed that when I read it the first time…

    60 kph is bound to excite

  • Hazza on 13/10/2021 - 18:53

    Brings back memories. I was big into R/C 15 years or so ago when brushless/lipo was first making its mark. Be careful its a bug. I had mostly HSP cars back then, this brand reminds of them. Cheap, fast and pretty durable. One lesson I learnt early on was to get a cheap programmable transmitter, where you can infinitely adjust the throttle/brake EPA etc. This means you can dial it back to any power percentage at any time for kids when they are learning etc. Will save on a lot of broken parts until they get good and need to go fast. It also means you can by extra receivers and bind the transmitter to 5+ vehicles, so you don't have to maintain a box full of transmitters. I had everything from 1/64 scale to 1/5 scale electric, and found 1/16 and 1/8 the best.

    • wombat81 on 13/10/2021 - 19:18
      +1

      The stock transmitter has a throttle trim knob.

      • Hazza on 14/10/2021 - 13:51

        EPA (end point adjustment) is what you need, not trim. Can go anywhere from 0 - 100% rather than just adjusting the zero point.

        • wombat81 on 14/10/2021 - 15:30

          I could be wrong, but I'm pretty sure that's what it has.

          • Hazza on 14/10/2021 - 17:56
            +1

            @wombat81: That's great. Analogue EPA is worthwhile for sure, but I found it was usually only adjustable between around 80-100%. Whereas digital EPA can go anywhere from 0-100%. This along with EXPO to adjust the curves, and the multiple model memory was well worth the 40 bucks for a digital TX for me. But if this will be your only car, not worth it.

  • zombrex on 13/10/2021 - 19:25

    Looks like some good cheap fun for $112. Will give it a go.
    I remember having a remote control car when I was about 10 and it sucked.
    Like 8 minutes of battery life, low power and cost as much as this.

    Do you guys think it is possible to mount a Gopro on this?

    • wombat81 on 13/10/2021 - 22:45

      Yeah I'd say it'd be doable. Maybe with cable ties or something.

    • Rogerwilco on 14/10/2021 - 00:41

      Yes but it'd be top heavy. Be careful not to roll the car on a hard surface and damage the camera. Been there, done that.

      Sorry folks that is indeed it for this car. They still have some in the US warehouse but all of the ones in the Chinese warehouse that ship to Australia are gone. If you need spare parts understand this is a rebranded brushless HBX 16889a pro and parts are readily available on Banggood, Aliexpress etc.

      • wombat81 on 15/10/2021 - 14:04

        Thanks for the update. Any idea what shipping times will be like for these?

  • wombat81 on 15/10/2021 - 14:07

    For anyone looking to run larger capacity lipos, there is this 3D printable mount, although it would raise the centre of gravity significantly, I'd imagine, resulting in much easier rolling. https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4958143

  • wombat81 on 15/10/2021 - 14:17

    For anyone who is feeling bummed that they missed out, I see there are 9 units available from Aliexpress for ~ $128 shipped, which is still a great price for this car. It's only the single battery version though. https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005003221625818.html

  • HL2 on 15/10/2021 - 16:04

    recommendation for a charger, please?

      • HL2 on 17/10/2021 - 22:48

        If I purchase https://au-m.banggood.com/ISDT-Q6-Nano-BattGo-200W-8A-Lipo-B…, do I need an adapter to charge the batteries coming with flyhal??

        Also is the battery connector which comes with the flyhal xt60?

        • wombat81 on 17/10/2021 - 23:04
          +1

          It's an American power supply, but it should work. The power supply says it supports 240V. You'll obviously need an AU travel adapter, though. Just one thing to note that the max output of that power supply is 5A. The Q6 Nano handles 8A max input, so it wouldn't be able to charge at it's top rate with that power supply.

          But yes, you'll need an adapter for the lipos since the FC600 lipos have a Deans connector and the ISDT chargers have an XT60 plug. It needs to be male Deans to female XT60. Something like this: https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/122085475187

          • HL2 on 17/10/2021 - 23:13

            @wombat81: Whats your recommendation for ac input to isdt q6?

            • wombat81 on 17/10/2021 - 23:50

              @HL2: This one will work fine. It's probably not worth searching further for the small increase in performance. But a laptop power supply that outputs 8A or more, with an XT60 connector added, would be ideal.

              Thinking further, I don't actually know if the 5A input would limit performance. You'd only be charging at 1C anyway which would be well below 5A. So it probably isn't even an issue.

              I personally use a Ctek car battery charger which has a 12v power supply mode to power my Q6 Nano. It outputs 15A. But that would be a very expensive solution for this specific purpose at around $400. I just happened to already have it for charging my camper trailer batteries before I got into RC.

  • pumpkins on 15/10/2021 - 23:51

    Couple of questions.

    1. Can you use something like a Nitecore D4 charger on these batteries (say if you rigged up the wiring)?

    2. Can anyone do up a quick recommended spare parts list for items that are likely to break (based on the fact that it's a rebranded brushless HBX 16889a pro)?

    Thanks!

    • wombat81 on 16/10/2021 - 00:35
      +1

      I'm yet to hear of anyone breaking anything on either model to date. A guy on one of the forums said his controller was playing up. I saw another guy strip a crown gear, but he was running 3s lipos, so that's not surprising. Another guys ESC died, but that was a bit mysterious.

      Some spare wheel nuts would be worth having. They do come off and get lost. I guess you could keep a diff gear kit in case you blow a diff. Perhaps front lower suspension arms if you hit something hard wheel first. And the assembly that the wheels attach to. Dog bones maybe? A drive shaft? But they're all guesses. It's a Murphy's Law situation. You could have a heap of spares but it's always the thing you don't have that fails.

      I would be spending money on a decent charger, lipo bag etc before any of that.

    • wombat81 on 16/10/2021 - 00:37
      +1

      I can't see a D4 charger being of any use. It doesn't mention that it supports lipo chemistry for a start. It needs to be a specific lipo charger with a balancing function and storage function as a minimum.
