I like buying the less expensive RC vehicles because I like doing my own upgrades and wrenching on them myself. My first RC purchase was the Hosim Q903, after contemplating the Traxxas E-Revo XL 1/16 scale. I dropped in a 2845 3970kv motor, 60a ESC, and Radiolink R7FG receiver (this came with the Radiolink RC6GS v2 radio I bought), and it was still under the price of the MERV, even with the purchase of the much better radio. You really can't go wrong with the less expensive vehicles, as long as you do some research first. The Q903 ran great out of the box without the upgrades. The parts are much less expensive and available on Amazon, some even have 2 day Prime shipping options. I've only been in the R/C vehicle hobby for a couple of months, but my take on Traxxas is this; they are basically the Macbook of the RC world. The prices are higher for the vehicles and parts, and many of the parts are proprietary. You won't say it, but the XLF X03 looks a lot like a Rustler 4x4 VXL to me. Only it's less than half the price and probably more durable.

I got an itch one day, went on Amazon and found a 1/16 4x4 by Hosim that is a mirror image of this about a month ago and have had way too much fun beating the living daylights outta it! Battery and motor arrangement different but the body style, wing, suspension etc... looks the exact same. Bummer to hear about after market parts though as i have bent a, is it a “dog bone”? Axle to the rear wheel from differential.....? Spent $160 for car and an extra battery. My opinion for beginner like me not wanting to get into deep money wise this was worth every penny. My grandson is 3 now, can’t wait for him to be old enough to enjoy driving this thing. And yeah it’s flipping fast!! If anyone has info on after market parts please post. Great video👍🏼

Thank you guys always a pleasure to see you together doing things we all love good job 👏

Well that was FAST FUN!! Has tenth scale gotten "smaller" in last couple of years?! I AM interested in seeing THE HILL MOD!! Vlog anyone? Thanks Saylors for the honest HOT review!! 💟👍😘

For the person that sees someone running a high dollar rc and would like to get into the hobby this is a perfect starter rc. And yes part support can be difficult on these inexpensive rc cars but at the price point you can always buy a second car for spare parts and still be well under a huge price tag. And for a dog bone tip I always paint a bright red or yellow mark on them if I feel that they will pop out especially on my offroad vehicle's it makes it a lot easier to spot them if you should loose one in the grass or gravel lol. Keep it up guy's thanks for the videos.

I notificationed myself to ur channel cant wait for the stairs 🔥

When it comes to rc buy the best thing you can afford that you like. Going cheap can come back to bite you. You usually can’t go wrong choosing brands that have been around for a while. Good review

Think we have seen a different video of a knock off of a revo before that was quite good, that was quite a while ago. either way this was a great video like usual

that is why i have always a maintenance kit with me for those light repairs :)

Absolutely Jack! Traxxas is known to make some decent vehicles, but they are pretty expensive compared to most of the market. They also have extremely bad business strategies that we do not agree with morally. For this reason, we rarely buy their products, and when we do, it is mainly for educational purposes for our channel. Happy RCing 👍😎⚓

The Xinlehong Q901 is smaller version of this one I think and its handsdown my fav smaller RC. ive beat it really bad and have yet to break it besides the rims slowly comming appart. id rather use it over the other top brands

"Don't wanna get you with the gravel, Abby." *Proceeds to drill a hole to the center of Earth.*

Love this rc truggy???🤔 Anyway for me these are affordable and can easily be upgraded if you want to as well. I added some oil to the shocks and it is noticeably easier to control and predict it's movements. My friend just got a kraton 8s and broke a part that due to it being new and a big brand is setting him back quite a bit of money with far less abuse.

Can it run 3s lipo? And if it does, do you still need to convert the esc for the low battery cutt off?

i like ur statement. very thoughtful of u guys.

Unrelated to this video; I've seen you guys do a boat week, plane week, etc...Have you done a military rc week? There's a 1/6 jeep that I bought recently, won't get it till September but there are other military vehicles I'm considering. You guys do a nice job. Thanks

As I keep watching this video I like this little R/C. I’ve got about $1000 in my Slash, but hey, that’s just the Bashing life... you break stuff, and fix it.

Yes if I wasn't already subscribed I'd definitely subscribe just to see what they do with those rusty ole stairs lol God bless

Don’t get me wrong, it’s not my 4x4 Slash, but I would buy one to play with it, or let beginners play with it before I let them drive mine. Great video. Love you guys.

I love this one.. This is my kind of RC :D

I saw all of the positive review videos and the great rating on Banggood. My XLF 03 didn't even last 5 minutes before it stripped and became front wheel drive only. DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY ON THIS! Light your $100 on fire instead. It's easier. The worst part is the AWFUL service from Banggood. If you order one, SAVE everything. Even the shipping bag that comes wrapped around the box. They want pictures of the bag, the label, the box, the car, and videos of what is wrong. After providing them with all of the info, their first question back to me was "Can you fix it?". Are you kidding???? Crap customer service for a crap product. I tried to leave a negative product review on Banggood, but they moderate all negative ones and do not post them.

Hey guys. I recently bought a Wltoys 144001 and after previewing several "warning" videos I opened the front & rear differentials & found them dry. Packed them both with Moly grease. I did do a short run before and after. BIG difference in reducing the "tinny gear sounds" coming from the car. Metal gear wear should be minimized, too. From this point on, I will never run a new RC vehicle without at least checking for lube in the differentials first. There may be a chance that oil based lubricants have to be left out for international shipping (?) Did you check for differential lube on this car before testing? Is that where the noise mentioned was coming from?

I boight the x04 version of this and I might have run 3 packs through it before the gears just disintegrated.

I'd love to see a teardown vid of this truck.

Tell them to leave the hill alone; it’s become iconic to your channel.

My q903 truggy has the same size motor and it’s 1/16 scale

The only thing "traxxasy" about it is the battery tray clip and the name. The chassis/layout isn't really like anything else. Is there oil in the shocks? Seems really bouncy.

You guys should do a hill montage video of the hill climbs !

I'm thinking about getting this to put a camera on and use it to inspect the crawlspace under the house. It's 4x4 so it should work for that purpose as long as I can drive it slowly. Is there something better for my purpose in about the same price range? All of my RC stuff are mini quads. I don't have an RC car yet.

Get an axial wraith w/ a sensored brushless motor or a regular brushed motor. Non sensored brushless motors can be sporadic at partial throttle, more-so within the 0-25% throttle input range ("brushless motor cogging)". Its very similar to how a manual 5 speed behaves with poor gas-to-clutch timing input, the power delivery is not consistent and everything's jerky/unpredictable.

Hi Saylors let's see what this basher is made of...it's not bad for the price

Standard ESC support for 3S lipo cell?

That is a 390 brushless motor I have something like that on my top of line New Bright and with an 9.6 volt lithium ion it will do 20 plus miles an. Believe it or not that thing can have a lot of power with a lot of voltage.

Nice video 👍🔥

Awesome

I've given you know who plenty of money over the years. So I have no problem taking a chance on a knock off.

Its still available! This company probably makes Traxxas. They can do this and sell it for less just like car parts (BMW and MB are more expensive because of a brand stamp). My neighbor started with this. And now just spent $800 on a Traxxas and it grinds and whines like no other. But it is a beast. Put some teflon grease on the gears. You'll be good.

Hello, a question pls, what is your opinion about the Traxxas rc buggies? I just see some at Conrad stores here in Austria 🇦🇹, but i have no idea how is the quality. I want to get a New without Problems, i had/have a reely Bulldog and had alot of Problems with the contruction, especially the sensitive parts are made of plastic and broke many Times, now i have enough and give up this Bulldog, even the engine is super. Thankyou in advance. Best regards from Austria 🇦🇹 Michael

Question about the Traxxas knock off is the motor upgradable

If you spend $80 more you get a bigger and a faster car with part availability (traxxas 2wd) and I am guess one of the reasons they push these products is because they get commission and that is COMPLETELY fine.

This looks like a lot of fun! I like that it doesn't seem too top heavy so you can do donuts without flipping. Does it have proportional steering?

Just tried mine on a 3s battery today. This truck can handle 3s if you just punch to full throttle occasionally. Full throttle burst on 3s are no problem it seems so far. It actually runs better on 3s in my opinion. I would assume if you held full throttle for an extended period. The ESC motor could over heat.

It looks like an HBX in many areas and acts like one with the dogbone popping. It probly didn't pop out because the dogbone is attached to the gears and not just sitting in a cup. It especially sounds like one too though 'GGGRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGRRRRRRRGGGGRRRRGGGG' grinding gears. If the gearbox lasts longer than a month I am impressed.

The vehicle that one is trying to copy ( 2wd Traxxas rustler vxl) is $279, so 179$ more not $300 more. Maybe a mini e- Revo VXL also ($249) Looks like a decent budget vehicle though. However you don't get the same part support or any type of warranty. While the initial cost of an RC may be important I think continued parts support and warranty are just as important. Great video keep up the good work.

RC sailors are not fans of Traxxas the company because they had a run in with them a while back about saying the Traxxas name in one of their videos that didn't actually have a Traxxas car and Traxxas reached out and told them they didn't like that.

Super intrigued by this little beast, how has it held up after multiple sessions?

This looks to've taken a lot of design elements from the hosim/kbtoys/xinlehong cars, as well as flat out using the same wheels, shocks, etc, but do their own thing between the wheels. Pretty much everyone who's had these early ones has had them break just by driving on grass, and I wouldn't be surprised if much of that has to do with early production runs, bad tolerances, and lack of any lubrication. If people are finding the shocks empty, why would the gearboxes, axles, etc be any diff"erent?

Is it more like the mini e revo or rustler 4x4

Hey I just found that WL Toys has parts for this car. Search parts by XLF. I just happened to buy one of these for my 9 yr old nephew. Then saw that you guys were reviewing it.
