I’m usually laughing so hard I have to pause the video so I don’t miss anything, and your son is a great driver for being so young. You might have to do a derby episode but I don’t think the rest of the country pays attention to it. You rock!

    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.

    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!

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.

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.
