Good to see they went brushless on these, i have the brushed version of the Hospeed Hurricane last year, still have it...its a shame they didn't upgrade the shocks and change those tyres, they are a bit too hard a compound and make it peel out easy! Good look at it Phil 👍
That was a great, quick unboxing/review, I can hear the enjoyment in your voice. Sweet little starter rig. It may end up a gift this year. Thanx mate! Be well and stay safe.
I bought the HS 18311 because of your HS 18311 vs the traxxas Teton video. I really enjoyed that little truck. It is durable enough for its price. Jumped it many times and it really survived. I cracked the front left C hub and fixed it with epoxy and still kickin haha. I upgraded it with metal dog bones at metal diffs. Now i think im convinced again by your video to buy again and this brushless power. I hope they upgraded the diffs with metal and harder material.
Cheers from the US. Love to watch your videos on these little cheap cars. I'm starting to get into the hobby and started with a Hbx Rampage for me and my boys. I will always look to you for the best cheapest little, or big, rc cars. Looks like a ripper! Take care.
Bought the brushed version for my nephew, he was scared of the speed at first, then I made him a ramp and he loves it. Surprisingly durable too, he’s run it into the curb and trees at full speed and nothing has broken yet. The front bumper cracked on one side but a bit of shoe goo and it’s been holding on ever since
Amigo um ano atrás vc público isso vc aí tá tem esse carrinho de boa , estou pensando em comprar um mas para andar de boa como se fosse um rock Crowley o que você me diz é duradouro
Seen a vid of a brushless upgrade and the guy said it was just too much, he said he wished it was left as stock. So that little project you helped me with has at least answered one thought I had. Will be able to redirect funds into looking at stronger parts, some blank shells.
Oh Bro!! I like a lot this trucks HS, are part of my secondary cars. When I putted hbx oil shocks, works like a mini traxxas. I didn´t buy this model, just for price, I really like to get it just I´ll wait a little to buy it (There are better options) finally i will. Thanks for share Bro!! I was waiting this video, thanks for share it. Have a great week man!! Yeeaah!!
might get it just for the body for my teton! my poor little boy needs a rebuild, I want him to look nice again before it goes as a shelf queen full of memories :D
If you check the 'brushed version' link in the description, they are only £30 at the moment... 1 Week delivery! Maybe try the cheaper option first. It's only a little bit slower
@@TomleyRC ive got a Flysky Gt3C on the way, just now looking for the electrics to fit these little monsters. Want to have 1 of the 18311 with a gyro and also one in the 144001 as its a bit too much for my lad atm. Now looking at getting a hobby grade lipo charger, anyone have any recommendations ? the more i read online the more confused i get, mainly with all the wattage and ampage ranges. I can't see ourselves ever venturing past 3s for the foreseeable future as high end bashing isn't my end game.
@@philhumber1534 Im myself new to the lipo stuff I recently bought a crawler so needed a charger I went with the skyrc s65 from hobbyrc very simply so use and seems well made. Runs upto 4s at 6amp. The connector for the unit is xt60 so if u run deans you will need to buy a xt60 to deans connector or just convert all the connectors to xt60.
@@seanandersen5752 That's cool, I was wondering if it's worth getting a dual charger or not as well but there's so many things to consider lol. I will get there...
Thanks for the reviews. I bought one of these on the strength of your video. I want to upgrade the shocks though. Any suggestions on where to get oil damper shocks for this (preferably in the UK)? I can't seem to find 68/70mm shocks that look suitable. Help would be much appreciated.... While I'm here, some advice on larger capacity batteries would be great too.
4 mile an hour for double the price!??? I don't know about that... The Tyres don't appear to have ANY grip, which does make it joyfully NUTZ!! IF I were to get one of those, I'd have the Brushed. Good, thorough Review on it! 👍👍 Carmine ✈🚂🚙
What’s holding it back is the tries, maybe put some better ones and redo the speed run. If you’re not satisfied with the speed run maybe put a racerstar esc in it and put a better lipo in it. Cheers😁
Man that lil thing is wild😜 I don't know if I would even try a 2s lipo in it? Can you run lipo in that lil thing? Thanks for sharing nice lil find there😊
Pretty cool! But not sure if i would pay double the price for a few mph . Seems as though theyve released a new one with a different bodyshell , wheels , a 3 wire servo and a new transmitter i saw on a chinese shopping app
Don’t cry bud your start us all off 😭 They really remind me of the latrax , but better I think.. Mate as you know I’m saving for a crawler, could not come sooner now we are in lockdown again, I definitely need a new model to tinker with, what are your thoughts on the carisma scale adventure 1/10 Land Rover kit, it’s a bit over my budget but if I work hard on the vinyl decals for a month it should be doable, what’s your opinion on it..
@@TomleyRC definitely is mate.. To be honest I’d only buy second hand if either dirt cheap or if it was mint. I really want to do some kind of build project which is why I thought of the carisma 1/10 scale adventure kit, so I could build it from scratch and paint it etc, I did have the FTX outback mini 2 ranger but I got board with that very quickly due to its size and where I could and could not run it.. to be honest crawler wise I think I’d be getting most the enjoyment from building and customising it more then the actual running of it, well even more so during this lockdown.. You got any cheap ones going mate?..
@@adamwolff9411 tried the shims, somehow made it worse, I am sure I placed them correctly. as for the grease, I am using some rubber all purpose grease. diff seems to be fine though, I think the housing has had it.
@@TomleyRC these cheap cars are usually just as fast as their brushless counterparts and sometimes even faster yeah the diffs might be a good upgrade but when's the last time a 1/18 rcs plastic chassis snapped in half I was just pissed cause this thing literally costs about 110$ on banggood in my country lol
That car needs improvements on handling before making it any faster, from my experience the the punch is minimal, that being said I still prefer lipo to li-on I feel the runtime and power distribution throughout the runs are more consistent
It actually sounds like this one comes with a decent gear mesh right out of the box. It could definately do with better tyres when running on tarmac though.
I got the brushed one. But last week it started to make some ticking noise. I guess the gears are done. Checked on Banggood the gears are 1/3 of the price. Might be better off getting a new one.
@@TomleyRC Will try to open it, but since I don’t know what I’m doing. I’ll probably kill it for good. If that happens I guess I’ll have to buy a new one to make the kid happy 😊
Does anyone know if the body mounts and body are a direct fit onto the LaTrax Teton? I've been wanting a different body than stock, but having had much luck finding anything.

With GPS you have to keep a straight line for a longer distance to actually get a somewhat precise measuring of speed.
It's hard to do that with such a small car

Brushless?! I think I need one!
Definitely a mini Rustler 😊

Which one kid or adult for racing car ?
Any recommendations for a cheap but decent ramp. Going to get my kids into this. Honestly just for his entertainment 🤪
Man that lil thing is wild😜 I don't know if I would even try a 2s lipo in it? Can you run lipo in that lil thing? Thanks for sharing nice lil find there😊
Lipo should be ok... will add a little ‘punch’
Is there anywhere to buy spare parts?
You really cannot hate it .
It's probably worth it just for the drivetrain upgrades which are all failure points of the brushed version.
Pretty cool! But not sure if i would pay double the price for a few mph .
Seems as though theyve released a new one with a different bodyshell , wheels , a 3 wire servo and a new transmitter i saw on a chinese shopping app
you should try some bettr tires mite get more speed

Do all models in this series have proportional throttle and steering
Yes I believe so
Will the diffs hold up to the power?
Should be ok, they are metal now
could you open it up to see how motor is mounted?
Did there used to be a railway in front of your house
No, it's a Bridal Way/Footpath.
@@TomleyRC cool looks like it may have been
Man do I love my Teton, but those flipping diffs, oh boy those diffs are giving me a hard time.
Yes, I killed my Teton Diff second run
I have added shims to the diff on mine and some decent grease - seems to have done the trick.
@@adamwolff9411 tried the shims, somehow made it worse, I am sure I placed them correctly. as for the grease, I am using some rubber all purpose grease. diff seems to be fine though, I think the housing has had it.
Is it possible to somehow limit the maximum speed on this car? (to suit smaller children)
No not really. The Brushed version is much cheaper, and suited more for children
So what do you suppose would happen if you went 3S or put in an equivalent brushless system to the Traxxas 1/16 Revo?
It may explode lol
That didn't look like a lipo... Was it mislabeled?
Li-ion
only difference it costs more
Yeah and that it now has metal diffs, metal driveshafts, brushless system, metal chassis plate.... 😉👍
@@TomleyRC these cheap cars are usually just as fast as their brushless counterparts and sometimes even faster
yeah the diffs might be a good upgrade but when's the last time a 1/18 rcs plastic chassis snapped in half

So, kids first basher, the brushless, or the brushed version ??? Xmas minded people are asking....
Brushed one. It’s £30 and usually in the UK/EU warehouse. Lots of fun!
Are the tires in this any good? Seems very hard
Yes, needs softer tyres
can you put a 2s (lipo) on it?
It is 2s
@@27mmb27 forgot to say lipo, would like to see if that would make it faster
There isn’t much of of a difference between lipo and li-on, not like there is from changing from Nimh and nicad

That car needs improvements on handling before making it any faster, from my experience the the punch is minimal, that being said I still prefer lipo to li-on I feel the runtime and power distribution throughout the runs are more consistent
$97 for a brushless version ? for that i wud get 3 of those brushed version instead 😎
Yeah the brushed ones are good fun and so cheap!
Hello is there a link too either car? I want one or two?
Both links in the description
It actually sounds like this one comes with a decent gear mesh right out of the box. It could definately do with better tyres when running on tarmac though.
Yes, needs softer tyres
Wahhh speed is pretty good with the price. so is it HS 18421 or HS 18422 ? haha
Err... good question haha
The speed difference is very small but the price difference is almost 3 times
Yes... it dies have quite a few upgraded bits as well. But fun factor?.... not sure it's 3x as fun
Not 35 dollars anymore? $92 and some change, I hate these companies 😒

Is it 40$ or 140$, I tried to find it but all I found was a 140$ price
