Wait... WHAT? It has a brushed motor? I’ve been drooling for more than a year (even called HPI twice) over a brushed RC release. I still need this car at my house, besides upgrades are fun. NOTE TO HPI: offer a brushless version, so people won’t have tear apart a brand new RC. I’ll pay more.
Why are y'all posting mean comments.....its a really good car.... Just that it's brushed....and it was posted a year ago..... So now the brushed cars are cheaper.... pls understand and stop posting mean comments..
I have one.. its a cheap RC with a killer body. I decided not to put hundreds into it and just make it a shelf queen for my office at work. I can rip it around the hallways once in awhile for a break in the work day.
Awesome u got the Ken Blocks mustang! I neeed this, I want this, I’m getting this! 👍👍👊👊📹📹 I don’t have this type of car yet been looking at them but I really like this one, I’d be afraid to run it wouldn’t wanna reck the body,lol this would be cool to put a sound box in
I'm over here chuckling as he shows off the RS4 Sport 3 chassis as I look at my Associated Team TC3 and TC4 chassis sitting on the shelf above my desk... umm ya, been done. That layout is nearly 20 years old.
These cars are awesome, I have the rs4 version brushless I dare not to drive it because parts are impossible to get. If you buy this car and damage it good luck!
I like the look of this car. Debating on this one or the 4-Tec. But, I have enough Traxxas rc's. I have the HPI FJ and enjoy it. I might have to get another HPI car. Hope there are upgrade parts available.
I have the HPI Sprint 2 flux Camaro I just put the 69 Z28 body on mine because I am a classic kind of guy. I can see these companies trying to keep the price point down to attract new buyers but I jumped straight in with brushless and lipo power I wouldn't buy a brushed car now but I may have a few years ago.
the hoonicorn should have all the features of the real one .. with 4wd and eletric disconnect for the front making it RWD and ebrake ... the coolest feature of the real car other then looks and power is the 4x4 setup
WILL MY *SPRINT 2 HPI PARTS FIT ON THIS BODY(I DONT WANNA START FROM THE GROUND UP NORE DO I WANT TO BUY A STOCK HPI SPRINT 2 BECAUSE I JUST NEED THE BASE AND A FEW MORE THINGS
Can you peel off the decals or are they painted on?? I want to buy a brz same car but don’t like the decals a bit too ricy,are they “stickers” you can peel off or are they painted on??
I’m being honest it’s over-priced for a brushed car and it has a cheap looking chassis just buy a arrma or Traxxas instead it’s gonna be about the same price except it’s brushless
I am really interested in this vehicle but my local hobby shop will not carry hpi vehicles anymore because of the uncertainty of hpi in general. Is there any truth to this?
Be better if you could see the car while it's coming up to you but the video would get grainy while the camera was moving or when the car came up close
This car is a waste stop BSN THE PEOPLE AND BE REAL I bought this car and soon as I change to brushless the center drive shaft kept breaking and motor slides off the motor mount... waste of money
So what about the flux version of this car that comes with a Porsche wide body , does it have a problem running a brushless motor ??? Coz I am thinking abt upgrading mine with the original 4000kv combo .. is that plastic shaft an issue !? Does the brushless version come with any extra metal parts or sth !? Please advice
Hey my friend I just built a Traxxas rustler with a hobbywing brushless system in it do you think a 28t pinion gear and a 76t spur gear is a good ratio for it I test run it and it seemed to be pretty fast
Looking great, but why does it have rubber tires instead of drift tires? The Hoonicorn is a Drift car... Oh, just looked at the price, 370 Euros, really? could have been almost brushless for that price.
Question- I have one and while yes, it's slow, it's a fun car to play with... My issue is debris getting between the steering bell crank and the tub! When that happens it jams everything up. Have you experienced this? If so, got any good fixes? Thanks!!
love the look of the body. hpi did a great job with this one and the little screw driver in the radio is to adjust the end points on the radio.

Facts bro
Would just be wrong to scratch such a beautiful car
“Oh..oh..It’s got an antenna!”...”How 2 years ago”..lol.
Kept me going for a few minutes lol 👍🏻🙂
I just want the body, wheels, and decal set. Run it on my Associated TC4 chassis. The rest of that RTR stuff you can keep.
I think hpi sells the stuff my it’s self in the spare parts I think
You can buy body on dollar hobbyz
Why are y'all posting mean comments.....its a really good car.... Just that it's brushed....and it was posted a year ago..... So now the brushed cars are cheaper.... pls understand and stop posting mean comments..
Hpi has some of the best bodies out of the box
wow is all I can say myself I love the 1/7 version from zd racing
For more looking mas driving like a Honicorn, need lock de diff and putt a power motor.
I'm a HOONIGAN fan for life
4:03 "you should read that" throws it on the floor...
He probably should have read it on video .. front to back .. and all the registration forms as well !!!

Where tf do you work. Because I've never heard of a boss allowing you to rip around an rc drift car
@@sjoerdjaspers maybe he is the boss
@@alexgherghiceanu2094 fair point
Other than that nasty Tamiya adapter it looks amazing!
It looks kinda cheap. And why are their no brushless models of this car. The real life hoonicorn is a speed machine. And a drift legend
Hpi makes the official Gymkhana RC cars...
too expensive for a brushed car, i agree with you
They do it’s the FLUX version
Because they think we’re stupid, leave well alone if you like quality
@@Sharp79Channel the price would be better quality with tis www.castlecreations.com/en/mamba-x-1406-5700-combo-010-0155-02
+100$
Shoulda come with drift tires with those awesome wheels from the factory!
RIP Mr. Block
Awesome u got the Ken Blocks mustang! I neeed this, I want this, I’m getting this! 👍👍👊👊📹📹 I don’t have this type of car yet been looking at them but I really like this one, I’d be afraid to run it wouldn’t wanna reck the body,lol this would be cool to put a sound box in
That little tool inside the transmitter is for adjusting the end points, just so you know.
Sorry, im a noob, what are end points for?
I'm over here chuckling as he shows off the RS4 Sport 3 chassis as I look at my Associated Team TC3 and TC4 chassis sitting on the shelf above my desk... umm ya, been done. That layout is nearly 20 years old.
SternLX gotta love the tc3! I still have my box 😃
This Maschine is verte cool y liked the car.👍
I bought a used sprint 2 and put the 3scwp2 esc from this thing in it. I think It totalled 200 cdn, still belt drive and ya I just love the thing.
This looks more kyosho like
freakin amazing
So in the last year I've gotten into Sim Racing (force feedback steering wheels) and RC cars. Should I just file for a divorce now?
Same situation here :) with Fpv drones too ahahah... I bought a Fanatec Steering Wheel and 5-6 rc cars in the latest year
probaly haha
These cars are awesome, I have the rs4 version brushless I dare not to drive it because parts are impossible to get. If you buy this car and damage it good luck!
were can i find a battery like the one you put in it
You should send all your rc to heaven like I did so they can last forever and not get destroyed all you need is a spellcaster
Love the body , great information , enjoyed the end footage 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Would like so cool drifting.
Good review boss 👌🤘
Nice Rig. I did a review on a nitro version. It was just a as amazing!!!!
I like it
I'd be worried about bashing that nice looking body up. But then again, most people are closer to a parking lot or other place to run than I am!
I like the look of this car. Debating on this one or the 4-Tec. But, I have enough Traxxas rc's. I have the HPI FJ and enjoy it. I might have to get another HPI car. Hope there are upgrade parts available.
10:40
I like the wheels
Yes, yes I can
You aren't even drifting. Get some plastic wheels.
Dasdatguy1 oooor he could use duct tape.
Or he can use flex tape
Or he could put a brushless motor and 3s lipo in it.lol
I put a real tiny engine on the body underneath and its a mother FUCKING BEAST
VERY NICD
Thanks for the video.
What green truggy is that hanging on the wall behind of you?
🤔
I have the HPI Sprint 2 flux Camaro I just put the 69 Z28 body on mine because I am a classic kind of guy. I can see these companies trying to keep the price point down to attract new buyers but I jumped straight in with brushless and lipo power I wouldn't buy a brushed car now but I may have a few years ago.
Cool
Not to bad looking I like it
Good review. Can this Mustang be used with Drifting wheels?
Probably as long as they're the right scale and fit the hex wheel bolt
I run mine with plastic tyres a power house 5000mah lipo and a brushless motor
The wheels should be plastic to drift imo plus that car is known for drifting
the hoonicorn should have all the features of the real one .. with 4wd and eletric disconnect for the front making it RWD and ebrake ... the coolest feature of the real car other then looks and power is the 4x4 setup
My vorza flux would run circles around this
I have my own RC racing its called
Buggati veyron red and black
Collour
Could you if not already do a video on the best budget electric RC cars that can be upgrade to perform like an expensive one.
I wish it could drift straight out the box
I wonder if I could put that body on my 1/8 scale arrma typon 3s blx
What battery would I get if I wanted to replace the factory nickel battery
You should check out the jet Panther it's a pretty good RC
No sparks nor smoke
What am i saying it's an rc car
Cool vid, would of been nice to see you drive it with drift tires
Time to make a drift track slick floor
I hope they make a hoonicorn v2
No v10
Great looking car. awesome body .... sorry but I have to be that guy ..... where are the turbos sticking out of the hood ??lol
RCmanfinland
Nice video very cool 💪💪💪
WILL MY *SPRINT 2 HPI PARTS FIT ON THIS BODY(I DONT WANNA START FROM THE GROUND UP NORE DO I WANT TO BUY A STOCK HPI SPRINT 2 BECAUSE I JUST NEED THE BASE AND A FEW MORE THINGS
Yes, I have this body and wheelset on the sprint 2 and it looks great. No other modifications needed to fit the body.
Cool ☺
Are the screws also plastic?
Because of weight reduction...
Hobbypyromane 2.0 idk
Good job like always saving money to buy one what moter should I get I want to drift it
By the way, your front bumper is broke at the end from one of those jumps.
Can you peel off the decals or are they painted on?? I want to buy a brz same car but don’t like the decals a bit too ricy,are they “stickers” you can peel off or are they painted on??
Fully Proportional?
I got an Ad for the new supra... looks beautiful but still wont be as iconic as the old one.
I’m being honest it’s over-priced for a brushed car and it has a cheap looking chassis just buy a arrma or Traxxas instead it’s gonna be about the same price except it’s brushless
Agreed,the 4Tec VXL👍
I thought the hoonigan stang was twin turbocharged
Matthew Wilder no that the hoonicorn v2 HPI RACING don't make that one sadly that version 1 hoonicorn
If they make a v2 they should have it nitro so they could do the dual hood exhaust
Thats the v1 version
The v2 is twined
Same rims as arrma outcast and notorious
Who is the top speed?
Is HPI going out of business and if not are they still worth buying a car from?
I am really interested in this vehicle but my local hobby shop will not carry hpi vehicles anymore because of the uncertainty of hpi in general. Is there any truth to this?
Lacking power
Be better if you could see the car while it's coming up to you but the video would get grainy while the camera was moving or when the car came up close
This car is a waste stop BSN THE PEOPLE AND BE REAL I bought this car and soon as I change to brushless the center drive shaft kept breaking and motor slides off the motor mount... waste of money
mark santiago your supposed to put a washer and Loctite the motor and I'm sure someone's gonna make an aftermarket metal center shaft
So what about the flux version of this car that comes with a Porsche wide body , does it have a problem running a brushless motor ??? Coz I am thinking abt upgrading mine with the original 4000kv combo .. is that plastic shaft an issue !? Does the brushless version come with any extra metal parts or sth !? Please advice
V max?
Hey my friend I just built a Traxxas rustler with a hobbywing brushless system in it do you think a 28t pinion gear and a 76t spur gear is a good ratio for it I test run it and it seemed to be pretty fast
Hpi hop up Parts? And idea where do you can get it? It seems there are on catalogue hpi, but few for sale Ready to sheep.....
Speed
I wonder if the kenexis 4000kv/70A would fit in this? Would turn this issnow a rocketship
Can you do a REVIEW ON THE G8X 1/8 NITRO BY TEAM ENERGY
I need it
Hey I’m interested in these rc cars, but when I find the perfect shell, I can’t seem to find a chassis that fits. Any suggestions?
There's a chassis out there for every body shell. If it's a 1/10 sedan, be aware there different widths. There are 190mm sedans and 200mm.
RCDriver_Online thanks!
A bit confused by the intention of this kit. It’s a drift car, but has rubber tires? Seems strange.
That rc beat monster rc? Heavy monster?
Guys... Guys its a RS4 SPORT....NOT a rs4 drift. .....
I thought this would be the twin turbo hoonicorn
Can this fit the e10 drift? Body an wheels?
Could somebody please tell me if I should buy this please, looks amazing but idk
Any thoughts on a hsp nitro backwash?
Looking great, but why does it have rubber tires instead of drift tires?
The Hoonicorn is a Drift car...
Oh, just looked at the price, 370 Euros, really? could have been almost brushless for that price.
A whole video of you talking and not driving it
My son wants one but he wants it for drifting?.....
I don’t under stand why it doesn’t come stock with drift tires because it’s a drift car
Are those 26mm rims what's the offset
How fast does it ho?
How much$$$$
$300.00
Worth a console
And it is not that good buy a Traxxas slash
Where can I buy a RC car it looks coolll
Question- I have one and while yes, it's slow, it's a fun car to play with... My issue is debris getting between the steering bell crank and the tub! When that happens it jams everything up. Have you experienced this? If so, got any good fixes? Thanks!!
