HAIBOXING Remote Control Car 16889 1:16 Scale 2.4Ghz RC Car 4x4 Off Road Truck Waterproof RTR RC Monster Truck 36KM/H Remote Control Toys for Kids and Adults with 2 Batteries + 35 Minutes Play

The package seems tampered, all the pins were loosely rattling in the box. The plastic pouch containing tools seemed used. The car has a problem in going straight , even after fiddling with wheel alignment controls on the remote. Only one battery of 2k mah included. Uses some outdated battery connector, I was expecting Dean connectors. Do not buy.

I picked up the HBX 16889 about a month ago as my first proper RC truck, and I’ve been having a ton of fun with it. I didn’t really know what to expect going in, but it’s honestly been way better than I thought, especially for a brushed setup. Beginner-Friendly and Fun to Drive As a total beginner, this truck was a great way to get into the hobby. It came ready to go — just charge the battery, plug it in, and hit the throttle. It’s fast enough to be exciting, but not so fast that it’s overwhelming for someone new. Handles pavement, dirt, and short grass pretty well, though it can get a little bouncy on rougher ground. Battery Life – Better Than Advertised One of the biggest surprises for me has been the battery life. It came with two batteries, and I actually timed it — I get around 30 to 40 minutes each, depending on how hard I’m driving. That’s way longer than I expected for a brushed RC at this price. Being able to run that long without needing to stop and recharge has made learning and messing around a lot more fun. Tough and Takes Hits I’ve crashed it more than a few times while figuring things out, and it’s held up great. The plastic is flexible enough to absorb impacts, and nothing has broken yet. It feels like it can take a beating without falling apart, which is exactly what a beginner needs. Controller The remote isn’t fancy, but it works really well. It’s comfortable to hold, responsive, and has good range. No issues with signal or lag so far. Final Thoughts For anyone just getting into RC, I’d definitely recommend the HBX 16889. It’s easy to use, fast enough to be fun, and surprisingly durable. The fact that it came with two batteries and can run for up to 40 minutes per depending on how you drive — that’s a huge plus. This truck really made me want to keep exploring the hobby.

This truck is perfect for bashing for all types of roads. Spare parts (in case needed) are readily available online. Highly recommended for beginners like me or anyone that is new to the hobby. Great truck and true value for money. Suggest you buy spare lipo batteries (similar size) as this truck will take a lot of your time playing around.

A small powerful beast!! Even with speed set to half it is very fast. We did jumps the first day and it stood very firm and durable. The control is very accurate and drives fun. My daughter loves it. Having the LED is simply amazing. U know which direction you are driving at night. Will surely recommend!

Just received my order, rather quick, looks sturdy and good quality, need to try few days
