Brilliant of you to show how longer/wider chassis with best-of components makes such a great truck. Seems a LOT like the HBX 903a, which we've been having a blast with. Welcome your thoughts on what to upgrade on the 903a. I don't want to hurt diffs & gears, so likely staying 2S and stock wheel/tire setup unless you recommend an upgrade path on controller & batteries that fit. Thanks for the great content.

Thanks!! It’s similar to the 903a but shorter in height and length, and not quite as long. Still quite a bit smaller actually except for width so handles way differently. Really the 903a is probably pretty good as it sits. It’s just like the 901a I have but different body. Maybe some better tires as I don’t care for the one sir comes with too much, but I’d say enjoy that one how it is otherwise.

I actually own a handyman business so I do mostly small tasks, though you wouldn’t know it as my garage there is mostly full of work stuff. Quite a few RCs too though!
Epic. Such great attention to detail, both on the truck and the video. I picked up one of these little go-getters after seeing your reviews, and have been extremely impressed with it. My stock springs are all leaking and its spinning out real easy now. I want to pimp it out like this with the wider arms and bigger wheels. Seems like the bigger wheels help the most with clearance and general bashability, is it worth getting another set that isn't so grippy, maybe a bit thinner width or harder compound? I'd love to know what the power to weight ratio before and after. Can't wait to see where it ends up!

Thanks! I do feel the 2995 is still one of the best options to get, learn on, then upgrade later. I feel like Amazon is it. You can probably get it but may have higher shipping. Does this link work? amzn.to/3SmvKkh

Would the 901a differential fit? I cant find the 2995 please lmk

It should fit. I didn’t try it but it looks like it’s all the same size. I mainly went with the 2995 diffs cuz I think they’re a bit stronger.
Another great video! So I got this as my first truck and loved it with the bigger tires, buuuttt I destroyed the differential too lol other than replacing it, what other things can I do to really top off this things durability?

Well like on this video I used the hbx 2995 diffs. They work but you may have to swap the diff cups since the axles are smaller. Not actually sure if these diffs are stronger or not but they’re way stronger in the 2995 cuz it has a center diff as well, and that takes a lot of strain of the rest of the drivetrain.

@@DerbyCityRC Brother you r the authority on these china brands. I don't think anyone else on you tube is doing what you are with these trucks, and I have searched the internet for any kind of parts cross references and there are none. It's been thru your videos that I have learned the most about these china brands. There r lots of ppl that would get into this hobby if they didn't think they had to buy a slow brushed vehicle for only 100 or so less than the next line up to get started, mainly because the parts are available. Now we have Amazon, bangood and others stocking parts for the china brands that are not expensive and it's making it more accessible for those who want a brushless capable vehicle that's 1\2 the price of the top brands. Having a parts cross reference list and vids showing commonality would b an excellent boost for the hobby. Just a thought, love your vids and the choice of music! Keep bashing!

So basically it’s a short 901a? I thought most of the parts on the 16890 pro & the 1/12 scale hbx cars look same or just stretched out so is the 1/18 have smaller diffs & spur or same again cause they got 2 diffs & spur metal on sale for $20 lol tks for informative vid

Kind of yes. Much more stable than the 901a and it’s also faster. I believe I got either 23 mph on the 901 when I tested it a while ago. Could have been 26 but definitely wasn’t 28. The 901 and 16889 have some similarities but the 2995 is very different. Glad it was helpful for you!
Instead of that why don't you put the body and tyres of hbx to the buggy

Are the 16889 arms wider than the EC30 arms? I wanted to try to do something similar, but not the extreme width of the 901 arms you used? If the 16889 arms are slightly wider than the EC30’s, I’d do it.

I’m not sure. If they are wider, it’s not by much. I’ll try to get a measurement soon.
I am trying to replace the gears in my MJX hyper go I don’t want to replace them with the OEM ones cause it will happen again in another week. Do you have any suggestions for differentials and drive shaft Gears that will work?

I believe Amazon has upgraded diffs for it, but I think they’ve sold out. The front pinion from the 2995 should work and look like they have this for the rear: amzn.to/3EW9JSk Looks beefier lol
