Good Bash Evan, these little HBX and SG trucks are very durable, i have three over the last couple years, 2 hbx 16889 brushed and brushless and also the SG1601 Pro brushless which is basically a Orange shelled 16889 and tried to break them and they come out unscathed. I ran the 16889 on 3s many times and transfered the esc and brushless motor in other cars and its never given me an issue on 3s at all.

@DerbyCityRC

Thanks David! Yes these trucks are little beasts! Looking forward to running 3s on the pro. Maybe the esc I have in this car is a bit tired lol It’s certainly been abused!

The big wheels are probably causing the esc to cut out, i run a hobbywing 16bl30 in my 16889s and its a little monster, i have several different motor combos, the quicrun 2435 4500kv runs great but have to use a heatsink with fan, very hot on 3s, but i have one with a gtskytenrc 2838 3700kv, perfect on 3s. These are by far the best budget 1/16 bashers money can buy, great videos as always Also: with an aftermarket transmitter and the hobbywing esc, you can calibrate the esc and adjust the punch settings, the stock esc is actually pretty good but with the 16bl30, standing backflips 😁

The big wheels certainly don’t help with that, I agree. Runs perfect on 2s. I’ll probably get one of those 3700kv set ups. Thanks, and thanks!!

The solution for the esc mounting is velcro, it will allow small movements of the esc during landings or crashes, but still hold its position. I had my HBX done like this and it worked perfect. Plus that you can easily detach the esc when ever you want (for cleaning for example).

The esc handles well this big tires? I tried 96mm crawler tires with 80g each on the brushed version and it improves handling and jump control but the esc keeps cutting out due to motor temperature. True that my brushed motor came from factory completely blocked (dont ask!) and even with 2 heatsinks it becomes hot with lipo batteries. It was supposed to have at least 2 vent holes just like the replacement motor i ordered!

Have been running my sg1601 (same truck as hbx) on 3s and it cuts out or hits the brake the same. I can't decide if it is the motor or the esc. Only thing that broke was the rear plastic gear that goes to the diff. I put on the metal driveshaft upgrade but kept the plastic ring gears on the diffs. Curious how long they will last. Car has at least 50 2s pack with no breaks. 2 pack on 3s stripped plastic. I also run a Xinlehong q901 on 3s and it doesn't have the cutting out issue. I am going to try swapping the esc from that into the sg/hbx and see if that changes anything.

Hi man. This is an awesome channel! Love your videos. Qq for you: are you sure this 50w oil? I have tried that (factory team oil shock) and the shocks are so stiff I can't even press it with my finger... A quick look at google shows that the Arrma kraton shocks are using 43w oil so it makes me wonder if this is not a mistake 😀

@DerbyCityRC

2 жыл бұрын

Thanks! I appreciate that! Well I definitely used 50 wt oil. I also recently put 100 wt oil in my Kraton for our latest video. Now in some shocks, if you over fill them a little too much, they will not press at all. Also depends on the way the shock was manufactured. The shocks on one car may act different than shocks on another car with the same weight fluid because of the type of pistons used. Most likely the shocks in the hbx are not built to the same tolerances as the Kraton so would take a thicker fluid for the same results because it can easily pass by the piston, while the piston on the Kraton shocks probably seals a bit better. That’s an over-explanation lol. Hope it helps.

Thanks for the answer, I have bought the 16890 with your build because of this video and it is awesome. Once the oil replaced the car don't absorb shocks anymore (they do but they did its better with the stock oil) so this is still a mystery to me. Anyway I just ordered a new set of shocks. When you shock test the (drop it from a low point), does it bounce?
