Birthday present for children. Fun & fast. Durable. Charge is ok. Not good on long grass. Great in dirt.

Let me start off by saying this RC Car is really cool for the price. I have been in the hobby for 20 years, and I've had many hobby grade rc cars, such as Traxxas, Axial, HPI and many other leading brand rc cars. I am pretty experienced and really enjoy my cars, as I'm sure many of you do as well. Most of the cars I own are upgraded and super fast, so I wanted to get my kids an entry level rc car to start their own personal growth into the hobby. I didn't want to "break the bank" on a $300+ Traxxas etc, so I did some Amazon "research" into possible rc cars I could get for my 5 kids ( ages 2-14) and I came across Haiboxing (the cool kids call them HBX 😎) and I also looked at DEERC and Hosim and probably a few other. All of them where extremely similar, but varied by battery end connectivity and Mah size, wich breaks down into run time, for those who don't know. Anyway, Haiboxing was the brand I decided to go with, because the value for the price seemed like the better choice at the time. I really liked the look of the rc car and the extras that came with it. It was really cool that it had an ESC/Motor, Servo, 2 Batteries, 2 extra tires and the LIGHTS. I love lights. Lol. They aren't super expensive, but if they come for free that's a big plus. It has the front lights, "roof" mounted lights and even the rear red "brake" lights. I thought the kids would enjoy that. So with all of the things included, and the fact that you could upgrade the car later, I figured I might as well go for it. I'm a little bitter about the purchase though. When it arrived, we opened it up, excited to play, and I noticed the steering horn was broken right out of the box..the kids where so upset, and I was shocked. I wondered how this could get past "quality control " and I did what any dad would do..I tried to my best to figure out how to fix it. It had no extra steering parts or anything that would help fix it, so I contacted the customer service through Amazon. The car comes with a card that says to email them through Amazon or their email. I emailed them(they are located in China) and it took over 24hrs for them to get back to me. They said they would order me parts and that's all they offered. No partial refund or anything. I wrote them back and forth a couple times and each time it took over 24hrs(very frustrating 😒) The rc car arrived Monday 1/16/23 and the parts won't arrive until Monday 1/23/23 to Tuesday 1/24/23. That's a week+ . Honestly I get it, things take time, but super disappointing and as a father it sucked for me to see the kids so disappointed. I reached out to them an asked if they could provide me with a decent discount on another car if I ordered more from them. I figured I'd give them a chance to provide me with a decent customer service experience. I was hoping maybe 20% off another car..they offered me $10 off another car. I did appreciate that they tried, but to be honest I was also disappointed in their offer and hoped they would have done better. I just wanted to feel helped and valued and I also figured with Amazon Prime 2 day shipping I could get another car here for the kids to play with until the parts arrived to fix it. Let's be honest..could I have returned it? Yes, I could have, but I dislike sending things back like that, because some people that order the same item actually receive the used item you sent back. Most don't, but some do. It took me multiple days to figure it out, but that's what happened to me. The steering servo horn was broken by a previous customer who returned the item. I thought the tires look ever so slightly worn down(just a pinch) almost like the "new car smell" was faded. Lol. You know what sold it for me? What sold it for me was the darn sticker sheet that comes with the car. (Picture attached) it was missing nearly ALL the stickers.lol. I didn't realize it until I already talked to the company and figured why even tell them. They won't do anything for me anyway. They seemed upset that I even asked for a discount to buy another car from them. So...to remedy the servo horn situation I borrowed my Slash 4x4 steering servo horn and used it on the Haiboxing car to make it work for the kids. (My poor Slash) Lol. Anyway, if you got this far, I appreciate you taking the time and going on this ranting journey with me. Let me tell you this... this car is definitely worth the money for a beginner or a 20+ year rc veteran. It has 2 1600mah batteries that are dean, so you get decent play time, and it handles WAY better than I imagined it would. It was my first inexpensive rc car, so I was pleasantly surprised by that. It also has a speed control dial that allows you to dial down the speed for the beginner or younger kid to use. If you're "on the fence" about it, I'd push you over the fence and say go for it and try it out. Even though I dislike the customer service I received, I would still recommend the car and will definitely be buying another one for my kids. I just won't rely on the customer service much. I hope this review helped you in your purchasing decision and I hope you have a blast with whatever rc car you decide to purchase.

There's a few things I would recommend doing with this if you're a tinkerer. First and foremost would be to relocate the ESC and cut out the separator in the battery side of the chassis. There's 3D printable models for it, but I just used an adhesive foam pad to stick it on top of the steering servo. The tray is just too small to run anything over a 2000mAh 3S. I added a foam pad and used that to hold down the velcro strap. I can now fit substantially larger batteries and it's way, way more flexible in terms of battery options and upgrades down the road. Another is to buy different body clips. I lost all of them on the first pack as well as one of the foam dampeners. I tried pushing them further on and they just kept slipping through the body. You can buy them as well as some adhesive stiffening rings for the body. I didn't have any on hand but will be purchasing some to strengthen it as it's impossible to really shred it when they fall out. I also removed all of the lighting as that's not really my thing and the cable is annoying to unplug. If that's your thing, the cable is coiled and makes it fairly easy to manage, but it's not for me. Last thing would be the tires. They're too hard and they balloon like crazy so it lacks traction pretty much everywhere and most notably on pavement. In gravel it shoots rocks dangerously hard, so be wary of that and if you're going to run it in gravel and keep your car parked far away and WEAR EYEPRO. It's no joke. I wouldn't call this thing anemic on a 2S, but it is notably slower. With that it still absolutely rips on a 2S. With a 3S it really comes alive and is very fast - the 45MPH rating is absolutely accurate. If you don't ease into the throttle on some surfaces it will light the tires up and lose control easily. If you're new, start with a 2S and work your way into it. This thing is not a toy and can seriously hurt someone if you're not careful with it. I ran 4 packs through this thing and beat the hell out of it. Jumped curbs, ran it straight into massive obstacles, flipped it off of trees, landed it in awkward positions from heights and it never broke anything. It is very stout. Parts are available everywhere and spares are included. HBX offers a warranty on parts so if you break something within that period, you're golden. I haven't had the chance to take it to the hobby shop to see what parts I can fit on it, but out of the box the ESC, receiver, servo and motor can be upgraded or replaced. Overall, I absolutely love it and am beyond stoked to get back into the hobby. This thing was a radical wake up call to how much things have changed. I come from FPV mini quads so I am aware of the raw power of lipos, but seeing it in a truggy that the last time I ripped was using brushed motors an NiMH batteries is absolutely nuts how snappy and powerful these are. Speaking of lipos, watch some safety videos. If you mishandle these they can be super dangerous. They are safe if you know how to handle them. Don’t be afraid, but do be aware. It is an outstanding value for what it is. A RTR run truggy that's 3S capable and includes two batteries with charges for this price is unbeatable. I would have paid much more. It's a real contender in the space and HBX is changing the game of cheap cars and trucks. I am beyond impressed. I would give this 4 stars due to the battery situation, but it's so good that I can give the other star back. BUY ONE.

Good quality car that is fun for the whole family. Great for a beginner. not that fast, but still fun and controllable. Great for kids starting out. Highly recommend. Hoping Haiboxing makes a new upgraded version 3s capable and brushless. The center diff just makes this thing handle so nice.

Good car with nice features however after using it once, inside the house on carpet, the oil shocks were leaking. My son had the Haiboxing 905 Protector buggy, it has much better features for the price and often goes on sale at much better savings. Multiple shock mount locations allowing the user to alter ride height for terrain/track etc. it’s faster, larger battery area for later battery upgrades, it climbs better and its motor seemed to operate better at lower speeds. It also jumped better and was less likely to nosedive, likely due to the vehicles weight distribution. I ended up returning this and ordering the Haiboxing 905 that my son has.

This HBX is the perfect size for where I live and what I like to do. Gets around awesome on most terrains, and is very customizable. I must say that, in stock form, it feels slow if you’re used to brushless rigs. But it’s perfect for starting out or for younger crowds. It’s also perfect for upgrading to your own brushless system, as the driveline already has all the upgrades necessary to handle brushless power. The front, center and rear differentials, in particular, are very stout, work great, and can really take a beating. Also, the seller is fantastic, and Haiboxing really stands behind their products and goes above and beyond to help and make things right! I will say the only drawback to this platform is the center drive shaft - it doesn’t use pins, but is hex shaped and is mated to drive pinions via a hex slot. Eventually the hex shaft wears down and rounds out, and you get slippage. It takes a long time though. A pinned center shaft would solve this - something HBX should look into. If you are creative you can also solve this on your own, or just buy a new one now and then. This is a relatively minor gripe. One other slight drawback is the lack of aftermarket parts support from third parties. Would be nice if some parts suppliers jumped in with HBX. The HBX 2996a is the same platform (not currently available on Amazon) and is currently my favorite RC (and I have many that retail for 500 or more). Buy this without hesitation, it’s awesome!
