Review: Awesome little truck - Got this for my son. He's had a blast racing it around the house. It performs exactly as advertised. Its actually so fast that, on normal mode, it has a hard time keeping traction on tile floors. I have high pile carpet in areas and these work there, too. The two batteries means hours of fun for my kids. Great purchase.
Review: Buy it, you won’t regret it - I’ve been in the RC hobby pretty my whole life and worked at a hobby store through high school. I’ve dealt with every major brand of RC cars and I can without a doubt say this car is very similar to a major brand. The fact that the battery has a Deans plug says ALOT. Years ago the “off brand” RC cars were absolute junk. I’m here to tell you that this little car is not junk. I’ve ran this car now for a few weeks and multiple battery cycles. Hasn’t broken yet. Super fun RC car for the price. This is a perfect car to join the hobby as it can drift inside or outside. I average an easy 25-30 minutes per battery. For the price you simply can not beat this deal. Side note the mini totes from Home Depot are a perfect storage solution for it.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Vet RC Hobbyist Cheap Upgradable Basher
*by Z***H on December 31, 2025*

I used to be pretty into the hobby level of radio controlled cars a few years back, and back then something as cheap as this would only come as a prebuilt, single board piece of garbage that used the cheapest possible non standardized electronics. Nowadays this has changed, and for $60 (on sale) you can get a fully ready to run car with 2s lipos, and an upgrade path of mainstream parts, plus full part replacement purchasablity from HBX’s website??? This hobby has come so far! I purchased one of these for myself as a cheap post Christmas gift to myself, as a drift car to act in place of my HPI Micro RS4 kit from the 90s that I don’t want to damage anymore. So far its been incredible. Right out of the box it is plenty powerful for most people, but me being me I decided to purchase a better radio, and upgrade the motor and esc to a 6500kv brushless 2435 kit from Quicrun. It is now way too powerful, I’ve ripped part off the shell, and I have to limit it to about 50% power 😂. Overall absolutely reccomend anything from HBX. Great gifts, intro to the hobby, and cheap bashers for experienced folk!
