    Must be 40mph with the optional 14t pinion then. Probably not necessary but interesting to know..
    Also, the 903 shell fits if you adjust the body post heights accordingly 👍

      @JBishMusic Yes 100%. You have to raise the height of the front body post I think but other than that it's a direct fit.

    I like your reviews mate, I like how you're sticking to your guns and I like this truck, kinda. I'm a little apprehensive of 3S, I don't want to blow it up, I'm on a budget. But I'm going to chuck a 3S in to see what happens. Is the recommended battery max, or could you go a little larger? I've also put the 14t pinion in, as suggested by the sedulous Kiwi guy. His reviews are deep. The pinion was a seamless fit.
    Keep up the good work mate, I'll be watching your vids.

      Cheers mate! I'm not influenced by larger channels or other youtubers im not here to get into their gang haha. I'm me and i have my own take on things. People can love that or hate it i dont care haha!! HBX are known to perform fine on 3s but its always a risk. You could probably go a little larger but not a huge amount of space to allow for the high capacity. Probably one of the only bad things about this truck. 14t pinion is a good shout! Enjoy mate and welcome to the channel!

      I also think its better as an all rounder. The wltoys v2 brushless will be quicker in a straight line without a doubt but its not always about speed. For a beginner looking for a cheap brushless model this is ideal and I think it would be just as durable if not more durable than the wltoys. I am also a loyal Wltoys fan but I am happy to say they made a huge mistake with the v1 due to lack of quality control. The V2 has fixed issues but they shouldn't have existed in the first place. They let standards slip just briefly to gain as much quick profit as possible and that was a bad move as they lost a lot of loyal fans very quickly and then.. the v2 turns up so quickly that v1 pre orders hadn't even been delivered before offering the v2 haha!

      Quite a few people think it's acceptable which I can't work out 🤣! The answer is they realised the mistake and made a v2 very soon after, so why am I complaining.. Well, because it shouldn't have happened and was easily preventable. Is there a v2 144001? V2 104001? Nope, because I think some basic QC was probably used with those models. The 124016 and 17 where an attempt to gain as many sales as possible after building a huge fan base with the 144001 and wltoys knew they had the backing and support of every Rc content creator out there to help push their product. The v1 came out and was a disaster, and most honest reviewers said it was terrible whilst some said it was awesome to generate commission from sales. I have my opinion on the v2 as an afterthought and a way to bring business back after losing so many customers to the v1 issues. Just my opinion which a lot of people disagree with 🤣👍😎
