Great video... RC looks good. Those bumps on the chassis for the diffs is bad news for jumping for sure. The issue is the support for this truck. Hobbyking in the past and I believe currently (i haven't bought from them in years now) is they are always on back order on parts support. Not being in the USA (i'm in Canada) i have to order from the international warehouse and it can be frustrating dealing with them. IMO the better budget model is the ZD Racing 1/8 truggy (Pirate) but again part support is online. Anyone complaining about budget cost being high, this is 1/8 model with aluminum and CF parts with brushless motors and 4s power... you are not getting that for under $300 unless you buy used.
just because its cheap does not mean its chinese, but if its chinese does not mean its bad you dont have to say its chinese its pretty unessasary unless your saying its bad, you know most of our stuff is made in china
Yup. Even things made in USA are made of parts made in China. People have no understanding that these companies who brand and retail OEM things aren’t actually the manufacturer lol hence almost every Rc toy you find is found again under a different name. Branding retailers have to do huge volumes to have exclusive OEM rights. Some companies do design their own and have ODM production rights until it is modified and cloned and reproduced then you still find copies once again.
I just watched the first minute of your vid and I actually thought you would have some race experience or RC experience in general but why? I mean why are you using Deans for the battery??? Even I as a Basher even use XT90 in my 1/10scale trucks. Aren't those deans a little under-spec for your system??? but nice video though Keep going on
Nice little vid love how you kept the crashes in lol anyway the massive jump near the end if had done that and sorry guys at srrma you know I love you for my freebies ;) but if I tried that with my arrma adx-10 I'd cry to be fair it would have took of like space shuttle running 3s lipo with :) hpi flux esc and holly shit hence wheelie bar kit added still somersaults of the line though ;D but I have a maverick strada mt which is basically all hpi based anywho as I only live few miles from there base in UK know one or two off the guys hey rich lol but as a laugh thought I'd stick my brushless kit on that for play in the snow and winter and it's more fun than my fg 30.5ddm mt never thought I'd say that but wow amazing the strada is about 110 uk pound and about 230 ish for full brushless model bargain if you ask me had few cheaper cars over the years and there some of the best I've had the high spec stuff like real cars blow any part up big money right it off you may as well have wrote of your real car lol now my big wonder is do I go 6s brushless or even 12s on my carson 1/5th touring car rwd :) and anyone have sugestions on motor esc and reliable battery etc as any help would be nice want to drag real cars on q mile for pinks 😂😂😂😂😂😂 it is a merc dtm to be fair lol anyway thanks all keep vids coming bro love your camera work
@ Hobby King you can customize / create your own Buggy or Truggy? just buy parts that you want to use or need?..well that will cost more i guess..Thanks for this video !
RC Triggerfinger not a bad car at all, just not really a racer. Ill be doing more with the hk when it's a little warmer out! Thanks for watching and subbing
To many rocks on that track. That seems like a really decent truggy. Don’t know if I would race it. But I want to find something dirt cheap that I can compete with the higher end comp. I am all about my Tekno. It would be a pisser to beat the pants off guys who spend $1000 for there rig.
I recently bought Team Energy C8ST -RTR and it is an awesome 1/8th Truggy! I've compared it to the Arrma Talion/Kraton, and the built on the C8ST is better for half the price.
Yes! i have the Blue /White with grey Team Energy nitro buggy rtr manufacatured by Exceed RC .It has SH .21 engine/Flkysky digital GT3x Radio.Entry level..great handling.Similar to Turnigy or Nanda for more than half the price towards other kinds..
I like your video but I would have like to see you actually racing another truggy...preferably one of the more expensive name brand race trucks to see if it can handle it's own.
The click bait is asking a question in the title then not actually answering that question in the video. Came to see if a cheap rc car can race... left with seeing an expensive car doing some jumps on a track
Great vid ... really like your content .. we are experimenting with various budget racers.
i started racing in 1985 .. i learned long ago that the winning driver can win with most any cat out there as long as the vehicle holds together ...

Really balanced flies flat when jumping that is awesome!!

proper stigma huh ?
XD
Anind Nhuy no shit

Don't be so sensitive, if it is cheap, and made in China, it's ok to call it a cheap Chinese rc

Moritz Adler I used dean's all race season and had 0 issues. Thanks for watching
I like the factory body cut w all decals but like that not so much... love to see more. Liked Subbed

I have the HPI Pulse and the exact same problem with the missing skid guards. The humps were breaking/coming off. Had to glue them with red loctite
@ Hobby King you can customize / create your own Buggy or Truggy? just buy parts that you want to use or need?..well that will cost more i guess..Thanks for this video !
Looked pretty decent seemed a little tail heavy
Have someone like Rivkin, Phend, Tessman, Mayfield, run this truggy and take control of one of their rigs to see who’s faster.
That would be awesome!
with some fine-tuning that's a good car.
I like your camera work!
RC Triggerfinger not a bad car at all, just not really a racer. Ill be doing more with the hk when it's a little warmer out! Thanks for watching and subbing
there you are right, it is more a basher. but great for the price

Robert Lengemann yes our track is a bit rocky.
The fs racing Victoria x is a really good truck
Robert Lengemann shut up
to many rocks? you do know what offroad is right?
I recently bought Team Energy C8ST -RTR and it is an awesome 1/8th Truggy! I've compared it to the Arrma Talion/Kraton, and the built on the C8ST is better for half the price.
Andrew Nguyen fun can be had with these cheap cars but they are not race cars!
rc mustsee yes that is correct
Yes! i have the Blue /White with grey Team Energy nitro buggy rtr manufacatured by Exceed RC .It has SH .21 engine/Flkysky digital GT3x Radio.Entry level..great handling.Similar to Turnigy or Nanda for more than half the price towards other kinds..

Liking it dude only thi g with rc always fixing and tinkering more than driving them now lol is a time consuming hobby buh still going with it
Very time consuming but always fun. Unless your car breaks mid race... that's not fun.
Cheap!?, that thing is 500 bucks!!!
as I said in the video the kit is only $220 and it comes completely assembled. A tekno et 48.3 kit is $600.
it's 400 ARTR
rc mustsee show me the link for 220 lmfao
When you say cheap! its HSP
@@Po7ent they have the almost ready to run for $399 and there is a kit for somewhere around $220
Decent speed, great acceleration but bad handling
Definition of cheap in amerca is something being $400
Nah
dude its $400 and the title of the video says CHEAP CHINESE car
Kit is around $200 while most race truggy kits are over $500 without electronics
The kit is 200,yes.. the almost ready to run is 400 and you have to still buy a transmitter and two batteries..so around 600 total..that's not cheap.
Yes cheap for a pretty nice truggy
rc mustsee, try Thunder Tiger Bushmaster 8E from Taiwan, it's less than $400 now for very capable 1:8 RTR offroad buggy.
Needs a Gyro and seems all set
I enterd my tyco fast trax in a race once, broke a couple cars with that sucker
looks like it would have been better with some 1/2inch offset wheels .
i think you are correct. I put my 1/2" offset bad lands on there and it def widened the stance. could help with cornering a lot. thanks for watching!
seems to rotate too much, could try softening the rear or stiffening the front
Cheesiest intro ever 😁lmao
Just don't crash too often and you'll be aight.
not so much
Old video but I’ve heard Kraton skids fit
That intro thooooooooo lmao
Race some Micros pls!! 😊
Make a video of the modifications that you are going to make
you better believe it! coming soon. thanks for watching
Nice vid
Since when is $300 cheap for an RC car? Whatever
check out the price on a Tekno ET 48.3 kit....
If you have added all of the electrics surely this is a chassis review not cheap rc review
Will Nickolds ok... how about a cheap chassis review?
don't ever do the " Oh, Hi" intro ever again, cheesy start to an otherwise decent video
it was supposed to be cheesy. mission accomplished!
+rc mustsee yes, it was very 80s high school, I know, I lived it. LMAO
i just bought this car shipped for 160 ...You have to be insane to not get this .
The Subaru Experiment WRX GG8 GF6
DId you buy it on hobby king? 160 euro? Arr or kit? I bought the kit for 113 euro :-)
I bought the kit . but i saved at least 130 from shipping and the discount .
Nice! I actually bought 2 kits.. one as spare parts
The Subaru Experiment WRX GG8 GF6 may I ask what kind of esc/motor and Servo you are gonna use?
I should have bought 2 also .
This dude has 700 subs and already click baiting smh
don't hate the player, hate the game
What's click bait here? Says it's an rc in the title
The click bait is asking a question in the title then not actually answering that question in the video. Came to see if a cheap rc car can race... left with seeing an expensive car doing some jumps on a track
you're slo-mos don't help here. yes, their stylish, but don't show off what the car can do.
CHINA KING!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Cheap!?, that thing is 500 bucks!!!
CHEAP! IS! A! RELATIVE! TERM! YOU! STUPID! GOAT!
