HAIBOXING 1:18 Scale RC Monster Truck 18859 36km/h Speed 4X4 Off Road Remote Control Cars,Waterproof Electric Powered RC Cars All Terrain Toys Vehicles with 2 Batteries, Xmas Gifts for Kid and Adults

This version is perfect for kids and adults just the look with the lights beaming at night and a day look real nice . The rc truck was really eye satisfying because looks like a ford or a truck like . Its for open wide spaces and the only thing that’s bad that I believe but don’t as well because of the videos prompted that it’s hardcore but a crash would be lethal but its perfect because that’s where the business starts because of the weak non-metal ereas . Easy to use a side button easy access to turn on . Clips fit the finger to pin it out easy . It’s super fast for adults mode like shown in the video and slow for kids to use runs approx an eye watch like 30mph but it’s enough to enhance a thrill of good satisfaction . I would recommend to a lot of people affordable , durable but won’t throttle on sand beach don’t try it but will still work if you run it on the ground. So much to say I love it as much as my big one that I have and this one you get to play on the house anywhere . Idk if it works on mud yet . but I play more on sunny days or chilly breeze days . Love this product for a birthday gift for kids and I like how how the lights are dent in because it won’t crash the light glass and it’ll bash the square shape area . I love the service just like big companies it’ll be nice to learn how to assemble and disassemble and forever work it to work when ordering parts . :)

these are good qulity RC cars. It has lots of power and speed. The normal speed it actually really fast and the slow is still fast. sturdy and good quality. changing out the battery is a hassle though. you have to take off the cover undo a velcro strap and unplug a flimsy cord. be sure to always grab the plug by the plastic and not the wires as the wires will break with frequent movement.

Good quality product for the price,fun to play with and fast.

So my headline, is it worth it? To me the answer is no. Take the time to look at the16889 for $3 more. I watched a review after purchasing the 18859 and the 16889 is faster, a little more capable and worth that $3. Additionally, I bought this for my son of 5, can he use it? Yes, and he loves it so he would give it a 5 star. Our previous RC cars include the semi cheap power craze 2.0, small cheap and fun. After that we got lucky and go the power rock craze for retails around $60 we got it on sale for half off. For the money that is a crazy fun rc car that can go in so many places but its not as fast as the 18859. My buddy has the 903 from Hai box and we compared and contrasted he spent $60 more and he easily got 5x more the vehicle. The suspension on the 18859 is very lack luster which results in roll overs in the easiest of terrain (not on asphalt or cement). But that also greatly increases body roll which when on asphalt and doing turns results in belly up. The controller is rather cheap but works, could be better. Going into reverse should be simple and not sure if it is intentional but as you pull the trigger back you have to release and do it again to get the vehicle to go backwards. That makes it a challenge when teaching your son the concept of a bootleg turn reverse 180 as well as a forward 180. I didn't check the speed but it does have some get up and go. I keep it on slow most of the time for my son to better control it. Off road it is super lack luster, in slow mode it lacks the torque to do simple tasks and the suspension adds to the problems. In the video I watched that reviewed both Haibox cars mentioned earlier they upgraded the suspension and the axles which seemed to help a lot but out of the box, I'm personally not impressed or happy. I have slight buyers remorse because I should have just spent the extra money on the 903 or gotten the 16889. So why four stars, is it fun heck ya! Most RC cars are. It is different than the rock craze due to speed but sucks off road. Battery life lasted a good long time and since it comes with two batteries tons of fun. Small battery compartment so limited on 2s unless you want to jerry rig a 3s but we never tried it. Durability is definitely there, rolled in the grass flipped hitting roots, rolled on asphalt and cement, lost a few body clips that hold the shell on but that is a given. It is a good looking RC vehicle and my son loves it, which at the end of the day was my goal. But again highly suggest looking at the other two made by Haibox. Yes my next purchase will most definitely be the 903.

Some assembly required. Comes with an extra battery for the truck motor. I am still working on the decals They Should be Factory installed.

Great rc car, has held up much longer than any other u have purchased my son even after being ran through water and mudd. Not the largest sized but fast

Great option for anyone that wants a decent quality rc car. Perfect for preteen. Drives smooth, has great power. All around a 5 star purchase.

There had to be something wrong with it, right? Something to complain about. Something. Anything. THE PURCHASE I bought the Hailstorm about a year ago and had loved it until the ESC stopped working so it was exciting to see that the 18859 which is the latest monster truck version had come out. I didn't know all the differences until I took delivery and was pretty surprised by all the upgrades from the previous version. WHAT'S NEW Upon opening the box, I found 1 battery with the transmitter. To my surprise, the car itself had another battery! Two batteries included with this. Not only that, but I almost overlooked the fact that Haiboxing now includes a LiPo battery! Typically budget vehicles get shipped with Li-Ion batteries. The usual mod people do is to simply replace it with a new Li-Po, so it's pretty cool that HBX included in the Li-Po to start with! The CVD's are metal! Yup, the last version was plastic and metal was an upgrade part. They're now included FREE! Camber has 3 adjustment holes for those that like to tinker with that sort of thing. Suspension still aren't oil filled, but now preload can be adjusted. The top arm on each corner are now beefed up. Pretty significant difference. Overall, the rig is also wider. Body itself is also longer than the previous version. Most may not have noticed but the outdrive cups are a metal band providing further structural support. It's all in the details. All these improvements makes for a more durable and better performing car. In fact, I ran this over selveral times for fun with my much heavier Arrma Big Rock which is a 1/10 scale monster truck and the 18859 did just fine. Kept on trucking (pun intended). Impressed that HBX went this far with their latest version of the 1/18 scale car w/o increasing the price. Thank you! DRIVING CHARACTERISTICS First off, it's quiet! Way quiet. Maybe the last one was this quiet, but compared to some of the other cars I have, this is whisper quiet. The turning radius is tight. Surprisingly tight. So tight in fact that you can bust a donut from a standstill. No need to run it hard, turn one direction to gain the momentum, then turn it hard in the opposite direction to initiate the donut like you'd normally have to do. There's not enough torque to perform a wheelie, but that's not expected of a 2S budget RC car, particularly of this scale. Enough power to get some good speed with this though. PACKAGING Nicely packaged as always. Not sure who's responsibility it was but my Amazon box did come damaged and the exterior of the HBX box inside was also damaged. No damage to the contents so nothing to complain about, but something I did experience on my personal purchase of the 18859. DECALS This deserves its own category b/c HBX actually provided two sets of headlights and two sets of tail lights! Pick and choose your favorite! I ended up using the unused set on another car which further improved the aesthetics of that one so thanks again HBX. OVERALL Very satisfied with this. Budget cars aren't supposed to be this good. I wasn't even ready to say all this. Was expecting it to be slightly better than mediocre as the reputation of HBX is pretty good but there are a lot of improvements in this iteration of the 18859 to make this almost like a new car. Remember how far the Toyota Camry has come since back in the day? It's like that but HBX style. WHO IS THIS FOR? I don't doubt it's durability, particularly with the wider stance, thicker chassis and thicker arms. Truly a hobby grade rc car with a budget conscious price. If you like to mod cars, you have that option with the 18859. Upgrade to oil filled shocks. Install some adjustable turn buckles. Great for kids too b/c it has a slow mode feature. Adjust between slow and normal for developing drivers to novice. I think this is the perfect car if you're a parent looking to get a car for both yourself and your kid but only plan on getting one vehicle to share. Best of both worlds.
