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!

"I’ve been using this RC drift car indoors for two years, and it’s become my favorite way to play with my toddler. Instead of running around while he plays with his trucks, I can join in from the couch. Safety & Durability: The speed control is perfect. Even at a slow pace, it’s not fast enough to accidentally hurt my son if it bumps into him. Plus, the front end is great at absorbing crashes. My toddler plays with it too, and the car has taken plenty of direct hits to walls and table legs without any real damage. While the plastic body eventually cracked after two years of use, some gaffer tape fixed it right up! Performance: Drifting takes some practice, but it’s definitely doable. I’ve already mastered doughnuts and U-turn drifts. It’s hard to control at first, but that’s part of the fun. Verdict: I haven’t tried it on a race track or outdoors yet, but for indoor fun with the family, it’s safe, durable, and reliable. Highly recommended for parents who want a low-stress way to play!"

I like this car it is fast on the high speed and looks good too, I put on extra stickers and added the missing gyro that it says it has in the description but does not actually have. I used a hyper go G3. It has variable steering and throttle, so it can be used for drift racing, provided you know how to drive. even without the gyro by using the throttle as variable.

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.

I have two HBX cars and they're my favorite. Got this on sale for $60 and played with it so much I decided it was worth some upgrades. This is cheap enough that I'm not afraid to actually play with it, and you can get all the parts from their website if you break something.

It came broken thw battery was not to see and the wheel is broken

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.

Quality is so good ,I'm looking forward to ordering something from them again soon.! Handling is very responsive.and great run time! We'll made rc and a size you can use anyway on the go
