Excellent video thank you for sharing, I ordered mine yesterday. Should be here today at some point, and I am pumped to take it for a run… Your video has been very helpful.
For sure! I like it much better than the x07. Now, all Hosim has to do is make them with separate esc and receiver instead of 2in1. 80 meters is good enough but if you can go 800 or more meters, it's better!
Nice truck with loads of power and certainly seems to take some hammering. An esc programming card allowing you to alter the braking characteristics would be great. Excellent review thank you.
Thanks Keith!! I do like this one a lot! Best one by Hosim so far. If there is a way to adjust the esc braking, that would be perfect. I am getting used to it though. 🍺🍺
Not to be the party pooper here. I got this truck a couple of months ago and while I do love it, y’all need to know some stuff about it. It can’t handle 3S. Yes it moves and yes it is fun with 3S, but literally every time you put those batteries in there you’re changing a differential. I admit I bash hard, but it’s seemingly underbuilt for 3S. It can only take it for the occasional speed run. Also, even in 2S it will shred the diff quite often and I believe that it is due to the ESC braking whenever you let off. Unless you exercise complete throttle control the truck will front flip all the time and it will brake all the time. It basically puts immense pressure on the gears because the truck is not allowed to freewheel. I’ve also broken nearly everything on this truck even in 2S. 7 tie rods, an A-arm, both body shells (need to put a washer between the clip and the body), servo, suspension mounts, etc. I live on a farm. My only place to bash is soft dirt and I land in grass. Never been to a skatepark. Lastly. Most of the parts come from China. The diffs are completely different to all other models and are unavailable except from ordering through hosim. While the shipping is free, because the Chinese government subsidizes it, it takes FOREVER and tracking is through the SHOP app. The SHOP app weirdly knows where all of your packages come from and go to regardless of who you’re buying with and what. I would consider buying this car again, if 1. They upgraded the diffs to handle even the stock 2S 2. You could get parts stateside 3. I didn’t have to go through tracking with an App that is clearly buying up every last bit of logistical data about your entire household. (Not even kidding)
I picked this truck up and I love it The only thing I'm having a problem with is I don't know what batteries fit on which car I'm not very good when it comes to electronics like batteries and stuff I also got the DRC H16E is there any way you would be able to tell me what size battery for a 3S that I could put in it preferably one on Amazon I would like to pick up a two pack from there also I need to know a basic charger that works for 2S and 3S I don't need anything fancy just something that will charge batteries your reply would be greatly appreciated!!!
It truly is an awesome truck… I agree with you 100% stick with the 2S you will have so much fun and you will not break it… 3S… Now that’s a complete different story lol
I don't think that transmitter design is for left handed people. Every RC transmitter I've seen has you hold it in left hand and turn with the right hand since most people are right handed and the wheel requires more precision, so you turn wheel with right hand. That's how it works in my country at least. Maybe in Australia they hold it upside down because gravity is reversed in Australia, if i remember physics class correctly.
SO I WATCHED YOU VID ON THAT TRUCK AND I LIKE IT PLUS THE STEERING IS JUST RIGHT SO IM GOING TO BUY ONE IM ORDERING IT JUST AS SOON AS I GET DONE WRITING THIS MESSAGE
I really do like this truck. Wish that there was a way to change their braking set up. Other than that a winner in my book! Great job with the fpv. I’ve tried that a few times and it was great fun and very cool perspective! Very well done review bud! Take care👋🏻😎👍🏻
Thanks so much!! I'm starting to get used to the braking now after the second battery. Some might even prefer this quick braking. I would actually like to have the receiver and esc separate so I can use an elrs receiver. Hosim would benefit greatly once they do that. Cheers!! 🍺🍺
Biggest hunk of junk there ever was. Once I finally got the fkn thing to work for more than 5 minutes the transmitter broke. Don't buy these things they're not even toy grade
Toys are fun. You should get some toys and play with them. Sounds like user error, if the truck didn't even work why didn't you return it for a refund? Especially since it broke after 5 minutes, you'd be well within the 30 days return window. Someone has been telling porky pies, I believe. Unless, like a moron, you waited more than 30 days before you even drove it? Maybe you did that?
@Boogie_the_cat I bought it from hosim. They said they would give me 40 bucks back if I sent the truck back to their supplier in Texas. As for your calling me a liar crap, nope. Truth all the way and these trucks are complete garbage. I'm not a newbie r.c. driver and every single piece of the x08 was pot metal junk garbage. Diffs made of cheap pressed metal, drivetrains were aluminum at best, the only true solid part of this truck was the 4 wheel drive axel it was steel. It had drag brake programmed in the esc no way to get rid of it. Even the steering cups and linkage were cheap pot metal and cracked under no jumping just driving it in the yard. Getting upset with someone personally and calling them a liar is pretty childish behavior dude.
Really great fun with such a truck monster car.
Nice tests .

Thanks! 👍
Very nice driving with fpv!! 🔥🔥🔥
Thanks bro!! Love to drive fpv with an rc truck :) To me, it is more fun than line of sight driving. 🍺🍺

Hey Pete, Yes this does look like a good one. Thanks for the video and information

Very nice setup and run Pete.
Thanks Greg!! This one is a good one :)
Awesome review Pete. It runs really nice as well. 👍🙏👍🙏
Thanks Ray!! So far the best from Hosim RC!! 🍺👍

Hsp wolverine is way better than this and it's cheap
Rlaarlo AMD12, HyperGo 14210 or this baby? All three are at around 200 dollars.
Thanks!
how long do the 2s and 3s batteries last?
before recharging

Awesome little buggy for the price. The 3s Lipo your using is such a good value. The X08 really preforms well and the location your at is perfect. 🦾
Thanks! Yes, this one is better imo than the x07. No steering issues and kicks butt with 3s!
Hello which 3S battery did you use? Thanks

Very clear review.. nice.. planning to het one.. dis you get lights inside the box? Or you purchased separately??
Thanks! The led lights are included.
@@RCEscape thanks for reply.
It truly is an awesome truck… I agree with you 100% stick with the 2S you will have so much fun and you will not break it… 3S… Now that’s a complete different story lol
Just got mine and I'm having a binding issue. Brand new batteries and fully charged lipoz

It is an awesome truck with a terrible ESC… Just my opinion, but you’re going to spend a lot of time changing differentials… Just my opinion
