Thanks for the support and compliment brother, it means a ton coming from a skilled tradesman like yourself. Super stoked to have finally finished it. It's been languishing in editing limbo since early February. SMH 🤣
You did a incredible job doing the upgrades on this car! You turned it into a high end monster, almost unbreakable !! It looks like it drives perfect now! I’m impressed!
This video has made my day! I have been trying to rebuild the rear diff for a few days now and wondered why I had a gap once rebuilt not realising the diff casing was a two part casing. Great video.
The raw uncut footage, very well done! Got me 16889A Pro coming which is pretty much this out of the box. My fav game series and hobby combined was unheard of and you my friend, got yourself a sub! Cheers
Thanks Rich, this 50 dollar truck might be the least expensive, most fulfilling RC available. I think it could get lots of newbs into the hobby. Thanks again my snowbound brother ⚙️🤙
@@SolRC 50.00!!!??? I paid 90.00 last night for brushed version and only because it shows the body I want... Otherwise I would have ordered the brushless. Plus I was curious to see how it drove with the plastic diffs, dog bones and stock shocks.
Thanks for the video. A little fast but I managed to mimic you and got it complete. Excited for the first trial. The crown gear has been stripping on 3S. Hopefully this metal setup will keep it in good shape.
@@SolRC nope, died in the middle of the first pack. Gunna shelf it. Put way too much money into this car. How’s yours doing? Hopefully better than mine.
Love it I’m waiting for my 1/16 HBX destroyer and oil filled shocks to arrive 🙏? I want it as a rucksack throw n go…..n something the kids can have a go?? Now I’m looking? I think I’m gonna toughen it up 4 complete bashing by changing the gears n drive shafts….etc to metal to make it easier to fix n maintain for em n me!!😆 Good vid 😎🙏👍👊
Very cool man👍🏾 For some reason this video and the gingerbread village Short you put up didn’t show up in my notifications. Your tutorials are always top notch.
Wow Bro! I enjoyed a lot your great style to show how to do it. You have great skills. Outstanding quality video, info, fun, play. Congratulations Bro, awesome video!! Nice Metal axle Yeaah!
Yah buddy taking it out this weekend with its new larger 6400 kv motor. I want to make it the fastest 16889 on the net, for now lol. Thanks as always Panza🤙🦾 you make my day with your enthusiasm.
There are several aluminium parts now as well. I have a complete front aluminium setup. Looks rather nice. Still waiting for some stuff to arrive from China so I can change the rear as well. One thing I'm unable to find are upper rear links, I guess those remain plastic.
Hey, great to see more people working on the HBX 16889, it is a fun little truck. I have a quick question regarding the rear shafts - do they bind for you and were modifications needed? I have seen only one other video on YT on the topic from Mark Bryan RC and he mentions he had to drill the rear drive cup in order to fit the dogbone. Looking forward to your opinion on the matter. I have somehow broken one of the original phillips screws that holds the wheel and it is now stuck in the hub, so I am looking at the metal parts now in order to get rid of the screws and have the usual lock nut setup on it.
I don't know how I missed this great question. The rear dog bones have never bound on me. I have a couple of questions so I may better help you. 1) do you have the metal dog bones ? 2) do you have the metal outdrive cups ? Thanks for your question and I am sorry it took so long to answer. I have not had to modify anything for anything to fit. This was a plug and play operation. Cheers 🤙
@@SolRC thank you for taking the time to reply, I really appreciate that. And now on the topic - I am currently waiting for all metal parts(drive cups, dogbones, etc) to arrive from China, but as I am based in Europe it takes quite some time. Happy to see(read) you haven't had any issues replacing, I am hoping for the same results on my end as well and will share feedback once the "operation" is done.
Super glad you figured it out. I try to do a layout of all the parts before assembly. I will check to see if I can make drive pins larger in the layout . Thanks for the comments 🤙⚙️
Quick question did you have to get used to the metal sound compared to the plastic gears because i feel like mines alot louder now definitley heavier too
Great video, awesome actually! I'm curious @ around 3:48 your diff is repacked with only 2 small gears & 1 shaft, I have the same rig but it comes with 4 gears & 2 shafts crossing each other. Does/would this have any different effect or simply more durable?
Great video! However I’m not seeing which part number has the bevel gears. Can you let me know which one? I can’t find it on the hbx site either. Thanks!
Thanks for the great video. I want to change the diff cups to metal. How do I do it? Do I need to take a part the whole diff like you did or is there another way?
It a number 1 Phillips. I also have the curse of the sausage fingers, my wife had to have a special wedding ring made for my fingers lol. I use a lot of plyers and tweezers.🦾⚙️🤙
Where did you buy the center drive shaft and gears from? I can't find it anywhere. Thought I bought one, but it was a hex shaped driveshaft with the wrong drive bevel gear, bearing sizes, etc... it's driving me nuts ordering stuff, trying to install it, it not fitting and repeat. Please help! 😅
Hi can i ask is it worth doing we have 3 hbx and probably going to need some parts as the kids have knocked lumps out of these didnt know whether to get original parts or go metal thanks for any advice
Hey I have a few questions Did you upgrade the motor and esc? If so could you say what they are please. Also where did you put the diff fluid? Mine is coming hopefully soon the brushless version and i ordered all the metal upgrades so will be watching this awesome video
Thanks for the video. How do you adjust the slipper clutch on this? The wheels on mine spin like they should in the area, but it keeps slipping when on the ground. I've verified that the pinion and spur gear and in good condition (not stripped) and have a good mesh. There must be some screw or something on the differential that needs to be tightened but I can't figure out which screw or how to do it. Any suggestion would be great, thanks!
thanks for the question 🤙 , to better assist you let's start with what work have you done on it? There is no slipper on this model 🤔. I betting a drive pins fell out somewhere.
@@SolRC I have yet to replace the differential. That's probably it. Ordered one, but won't be here for up to 35 days. Was picking your brain in case you think it might be something else. I did upgrade this to 3S using just a replacement ESC and receiver. Stock motor, stock pinion and stock spur gear. With the upgrades to 50% more voltage, I am expecting components to wear out more quickly which I'm fine with and expected. However, the slippage of the gears causing the rear wheels to not turn at all was something I was hoping to resolve. When the car is held up in the air, the rear tires turn just fine with the throttle. When put on the ground though with even just the slightest resistance, it won't spin or at least not hard enough. Pretty specific. Is that enough for a diagnosis?
hi, friend!!! I have one of these 16889 appro and it makes a vibration in the rear wheels, it's new and I can't return it, I think it's from bearings, this noise is made when holding the car with my hand and giving and leaving gas, it seems like drinks or axes, the truth is that it is not very rare. It is normal? has it happened to you? I don't think it's a differential, I disassembled it and lubricated it. Another question, I realized that this differential only has 2 pinions inside, the wltoys have 4. Thanks
I just got the new hbx 16889a pro which has all these upgrades, it's super noisy, I want to regrease and oil the diffs, do you think 5k or 7k ? i no the higher the thicker im just not sure which to use.
Hi mate. Really good video. Can you please help me? What parts do you used from M16103 to build the center drive? Please help. I can let you my Facebook if you don't mind to Show me some photos. Thanks. Have a nice day
The Part # 16103 is the differential gears , The center drive shaft assembly is seperate . I don't do facebook so please continue your question line here. I hope I can help :-)
@@SolRC Hi thanks for replying! I bought the kit M16101 and it only have in the bag the center drive, two screws and a pin, no spur gear nothing :( thanks
I hope it was clear you need 16103and 16101 for the center drive upgrade. I will make a foot note in the description to help others. Thanks for the help.

What wheels are you running, they look good?
It was the pin !

Quick question did you have to get used to the metal sound compared to the plastic gears because i feel like mines alot louder now definitley heavier too
Awesome vid! Where can i find clear bodies?
Hi there, nice explanation but can i know what screw driver you used to unscrew the side screw of differential to pull out the pin.
Great video, awesome actually! I'm curious @ around 3:48 your diff is repacked with only 2 small gears & 1 shaft, I have the same rig but it comes with 4 gears & 2 shafts crossing each other. Does/would this have any different effect or simply more durable?
Are those the tires from the hbx 2995 desert buggy? Seems like a lot of people run those over the stock wheels
Yo great instructions..I slowed them down. But very helpful..
Great video! However I’m not seeing which part number has the bevel gears. Can you let me know which one? I can’t find it on the hbx site either. Thanks!
Where can you buy all these parts direct. Also any special tools needed? Thanks
Do i need the metal outdrive cups and driveshafts? Or can the diffs be switched to metal without changing that for now?
Where did you get your pinion gear what size mow many t when u got it to go 47 mph thanks for your time
How do you keep spur gear from just spinning freely while sitting in housing. Is there a pin I'm missin
Thanks for the great video. I want to change the diff cups to metal. How do I do it? Do I need to take a part the whole diff like you did or is there another way?
Thanks for the great question. The diff must come apart for installation of the drive pins on the outdrive cups.
Another great video you make it look so easy iv got sausages for fingers and its so fiddly what size is the screwdriver that fits these screws thanks
It a number 1 Phillips. I also have the curse of the sausage fingers, my wife had to have a special wedding ring made for my fingers lol. I use a lot of plyers and tweezers.🦾⚙️🤙
@@SolRC ha ha Thankyou 👍
@@SolRC can you tell you've fitted the new parts or is it the same but stronger
What’s the part number for the center shaft? Couldn’t get the metal input gear on the stock shaft..?
