Hey id really like to thank you for what you do. You are welcoming people to the hobby. When i was young and watched the..... More fortunate kids enjoy the toys, i wished to have that kind of fun. I'm 35 now and do okay for myself. Granted my rc budget is limited, i appreciate the knowledge you provide. I finished my slash project a couple years ago. I began a trx4 journey that is almost theeeeeere. Got my girlfriend and her daughter a gen 8. You inspired me to perpetuate the hobby. Thank you Sir. You truly made something wonderful for me.
Thanks buddy, Spread the word about our channel. We'll go high end and low-end. The key is we'll always be enthusiastic and will be honest about each vehicle.
Thank you - love your videos and insights. I have an XLH Q901 and feel it is a very balanced and fun unit to run. You will wreck the tires soon and the shocks will make a big difference.
$95 for a fun, fast 4X4 "Buggy" is definitely not bad. The "shocks" don't really surprise me. I haven't been into bashers in quite a long time, but I'd consider one as a gift for one of the grandkids. I believe they'd enjoy it, and wouldn't break it on the first day!! 😂 We have similar backgrounds... I started in 1/10th Scale Buggies in the 80's for Team Associated, moving to 1/8th Scale Nitro Buggies in the 90's, for Team OFNA. Crawlers was only a recent thing, that I wish I had discovered much earlier!! Carmine ✈🚂🚙
my first "proper rc car was a cawler(traxxas trx4 sport), had a small himoto 18 scale truggy before it, well still do. ANd now building another crawler, an Unimog on MST CFX chassi, and recently got myself a traxxas bandit for fun fast yard toy, so i like to have a variety of cars and that one looks like a cute way to start the hobby if nothing else
mine goes 53kmh on 2s box speed only changed the tires to slightly bigger ones 80mm-105mm upgraded the motor to 4400kv surpass hobby greased the diffs and now its a kind of rocket on 2s lipo
Just a sort of PSA: Don't confuse this with the Xinlehong 9137 that will pop up on Amazon and Ebay. The 9000 series is the cheaper, brushed motor version (amazing to get younger kids into driving real RC's, though!). We got my 7 year old a 9137 and it's awesome for $80. We're buying two of the brushless 902's for us now. I wish more of the industry was affordable. It's ridiculous Traxxas/Axial/Kyosho are still charging $400+ for technology that can easily be retailed for under $200. Helicopters with gyro technology used to be thousands, and I can nab great RC heli's and quads for under $200 now. I hope the hobby can survive the greed.
Hey I have both the 14440 and a XLH Q901 and they are both great. I do think that the Q901/2/3 models are better in that they are less likely to break. Yes you should upgrade the shock absorbers and maybe get a slightly bigger battery (1500mah?). Also the tires will break in time. But mine has taken an absolute beating and has been so much fun. The 14440 is great but the front swing arm pins are easy to bend, you will need to upgrade the front shock mount tower (easy to bend) and maybe also add thicker oil to the shocks. And it could really do with a bumper. Right now mine looks like the main drive train is bent but it is still going.
For the beach , a brushless waterproof motor is a must otherwise sand gets in and kills the motor. Happened when I tried my brushed 144001 on the beach. Now thinking of getting a brushless Xinlehong q902 for the beach. Not sure if it is waterproof. Anyone got any suggestions, recommendations?
@@Bonouka The Q902 is semi-waterproof, but the shocks do seize up when they get a lot of dirt or sand in them. It's a great car, but it does break quickly under a lot of crashing
@@RCReviewChannel So they have wrong description on the product on their page - everywhere is described Li-ion battery - or you possibly received different battery for testing from Banggood. Description from their page (copy paste) : "Battery: 7.4V 1000MA Li-ion"
Bangood.com sent us two cars. The CR-24 crawler and this. I didn't expect much for $95 but is worth the effort... and getting out of my sheltered existence. :)
@@RCReviewChannel It has been called a "TRX-4 Clone" by more than one reviewer. It is advertised as 1/10 scale, but like some other Banggood rc is smaller than claimed. I will say, however- when I put it next to my ARRMA Granite 4x4, the body is longer, taller, and wider. The wheelbase and axle width are both less, though. The frame is all plastic, the body is nice for the money, the stock shocks, radio, ESC, and servo are all pretty bad. Some like the stock tires, a lot say replace those, too. Mine came to $112.63 USD including shipping and shipping insurance and was mailed from California.
When I got mine it was amazing but as time whent on it became brittle and began to shader faster than I could order parts! Save your money don't buy this junk !
Ow come on!.......don’t start with the chinese banggood and aliexpress crap.... The majority of these rc channels run out of content and start reviewing countless cheap chinese crapcars. Well, thank you china for this excellent seperating the good from the best system. Check out Hemistorm! Check out RC Everyday! Check out Headquake! Check out Konstantin Bogdanov! These are a few of the best rc channels out there!
Right on, we respect that feedback. We'll limit these but won't ignore them either. Great experiences with Flysky and Annimos servos and Hobbywing. We'll be vry honest though when evaluating these.
RC Review, Of course not everything that comes from China is crap. If that was the case we couldn’t buy anything anymore. But there are chinese and chinese products.... Chinese products that are made for foreign companies are mostly pretty good quality because their customers are americans, europeans and australians. Parts of the world that have pretty high quality standards. Those companies send employees over to China to determine and monitor the level of quality. A lot of products developed and produced by Chinese companies for the world market are mostly of inferior quality. Not all of it but a lot of it. That they produce a lot of crap is a known fact all over the world. I use the Hobbywing esc’s too. I use some chinese servo’s too. But the majority of these servo’s are crap, you have to filter the good stuff out of the heap of crap. They come for the most part from the same factories but some brands use better parts/components than others. The brand can choose the level of quality. So, even if the servo is made in the same factory they don’t have to be of the same quality. The problem for foreign companies is the way the chinese try to scam everything and everybody. Maybe it is a cultural thing but i know first hand that they lie a lot and constantly need to be monitored to keep a steady quality level.

Exactly. So cool to try different things. And at these prices, why not. Already have lipos, chargers and tools anyway.

How about a link so we can actually buy the car?
sit it next too a trail finder 2 please.
im curious if it could be converted into a crawler for comps.
Would you recommend this car or the Wltoys 144001? Thank you
I'm wanting to do it on sand dunes or in rough terrain

Is the battery really LIPO ? As per description, is should be LI-ion
Yes, really Lithium Polymer. Lithium Ion come in a hard metal cell.

Great review, dude! 😃
Just added to my wishlist! It would be fantastic with FPV! 😃
Thank you MC!! Yeah, good project vehicle.
I'm uncertain:
between the two which would you choose?
HBX 16889 RC Car 1:16 or Xinlehong Q901 RC Car 1:16?
Cool video
So what made you go out of your comfort zone away from crawlers today?
Bangood.com sent us two cars. The CR-24 crawler and this. I didn't expect much for $95 but is worth the effort... and getting out of my sheltered existence. :)
You should keep getting out of your comfort zone and do something else besides crawlers now.
omg deep preview. love that. I'll subs you if you create another cheap rc review like remo 1635, wl a979-4, fy-07, and another cheap brushless rc.
Any plans to buy / upgrade the HB Toys ZP1001? I'd love to see what you would use as hop ups.
Tell us about it please. Not familiar with this category but really want to explore $100 vehicles to get more folks in the hobby.

Best rc for the money once u upgrade the shocks
What shocks did you go with?

Thank you, but I think you mean Li-Ion battery (not Li-Po). Unless they changed it since your video last year.
I have Q901 with Lipo :-)
How long was run time?
They said 15 minutes, 1 hour charge. We tend to believe since we only drained half the battery at 7-10 minutes of use.
How available are the parts?
All available through Banggood.com and a couple other similar retailers. Shipping is slow but cheap.
@@RCReviewChannel thank you!
@@RCReviewChannel and aliexpress
Would be cool to see it head to head against the Traxxas Teton
Haven't even STARTED my TRX4 Sport build, and now I'll be buying more toys! At least the gf can freely bang the crap outta this one.
