Thanks, I appreciate all that! Well, what about the car in this video?

Here’s my video on that: kzread.info/dash/bejne/Y6aEp9OIm5PUZ5c.htmlsi=kOy236j4MbNFa9Aq I even just compared both cars in my most recent video.

That was a great recommendation on the smaller hbx 16890SA and now I want this for easier steering but I still will always like ripping 3s on the sa . Seems like hbx is a good company . Everyone likes them in the comments and the products .

You can always get a flyhal fc610 and do your own brushless conversion. Besides the looks and the brushed motor It’s the same overall truck. This platform can handle just about any 3650 or 3660 brushless setup you drop in it. I just checked Banggood and It’s on sale for a 100 bucks again. That’s a great price, even for a brushed version.

I have the 2995 platform converted to Brushless. One thing that keeps failing is the center drive shaft. The hex tends to get rounded over time right where it inserts in the umbrella pinions driving front and rear diff. Rest of the platform is great bang for the bug.

@DerbyCityRC

@galactivation9577

7 ай бұрын

Yes this is the weak spot in the drive train, only 3/16 or so of the hex shaft engages with the umbrella pinion, the shaft is too short I welded and filed material back on to my rounded shaft. Shows how tough the gears are on HBX, I would think that the shaft would win over the umbrella but nope! Running bigger or grippier tires will round the shaft quicker I found, I like the 2996a tires but the rims are brittle and crack quite easy. HBX has some silly design flaws that they don't fix just repackage. I love the way theses drive though!

Great review just ordered one 🫡

Bought this my son for Christmas, even being 50 degrees out it overheats in like 10 minutes of use. Fan works and comes on as soon as you turn the power on if its hot or not. All this with the stock 2s battery, I've used the battery for three days in a row because it over heats and my son gets bored waiting for it to cool down. We just use it the next day and its still great for about 10 minutes and then stops working until it cools down. On about the third day we do get the chirping that the battery is dead. Just not sure why we need two or more batteries when you spend more time waiting for it to cool than we do using it. Not sure if it will even last 10 minutes in the summer since it gets so hot here in NC.

@DerbyCityRC

5 ай бұрын

What seems to be excessively hot? The esc or the motor? That’s not right it should be able to last pretty much endlessly (within reason) in 50°. Also, it’s normal for the fan to be on all the time, that’s just how they work, even the high end stuff. Hbx is good with customer service so they should take care of it for you. Just make sure there is nothing binding the wheels making it hard for them to turn, it should roll relatively smoothly with a very slight “notchy” resistance from the motor. Hopefully this helps.

Man this was fun!! Pool noodle isn’t a bad idea lol. Even better would be to pour a bit of concrete to taper it into a ramp 🤣 Just need a day when all neighbors are gone lol That band aid was killer, and I think I’m gonna upgrade that scooter cuz there are bigger motors available lol

@DerbyCityRC I know a concrete guy!🙈 can't wait to see that scooter upgrade‼️👍👍🦾🦾🤘🤘

Do you like this car better than the HAIBOXING 2995? I recently picked up the newest version of the 2995 (now comes with oil filled shocks). I plan on running the 2995 on 3s. Will this destroy the stock setup??? I love your reviews!

Thanks for the review! I picked the truck along with the 3s batteries, it seems like it could use different tires. Do you have any recommendations for different tires and potentially larger tires?

Question, do you if the wheels & tires are the same size as a 2.2/3.0 sct wheel/ tire?

@DerbyCityRC

The tires are closer to 3.75” in diameter, and I want to say they’re about 1.75” wide.

Is that curb all busted up from you hitting it with your rigs? Ive seen you smack it so many times. XD

@DerbyCityRC

5 ай бұрын

lol no it was like that before we moved in. It’s from the fact that’s it’s too tight if a turn for the garbage trucks and they run it over a lot lol I assume anyway. I imagine it’s the original curb from the late ‘60s when it was developed.

@@DerbyCityRC Just giving you a hard time, man. I'm not sure these little cars could cause that kind of damage to the curb. ;) You got me craving this truck as my next model. I have a 16890SA, 3100A, and a 903A but am really wishing I had bought the 2997 instead of the 903.

Does it have a speed knob that you can slow it down for little kids?

@DerbyCityRC

5 ай бұрын

Unfortunately it doesn’t. That’s been a common complaint as it’s one of the first hbx models to not have a speed adjustment.

How does this with 2s compare to the 2995? Id think this is still a little faster, but the 2995 looks like its higher off the ground which would be better off road. Ive also been wondering how the larger tires you put on everything would perform with this.

@DerbyCityRC

3 ай бұрын

Ya it’s quite a hot faster, especially being :s capable. I wanna say the 2995 got 17 mph when I speed tested that 2 years ago. This one does around 28 on 2s and 40 on 3s. Something like that anyway. I haven’t seen a stock 2995 in a while so I don’t recall if it sits up higher or not. It shouldn’t because it uses the same components and if anything, the 2997a has longer shocks, not shorter ones. I will be doing an upgrade video on it for sure!

Does the 2996a body fit without any modifications? I love the 2997a, but the body is so fragile. It already has splits in it without any hard crashes.

@DerbyCityRC

7 ай бұрын

I’m going to try to remember to check tomorrow. Many people are asking if the 2997a body will fit the 2996a. I feel mine split because of the cold weather, and I did have hard crashes. Lol

How would you compare this to the MJX 14210? HBX seems to land on its feet and not flip over as much as MJX. Does it seem to handle better for beginners? Thanks

@DerbyCityRC

7 ай бұрын

I like this one more. A bit bigger, and much more stable. I would also rate it as quite a bit more durable too. So yes much better at handling for beginners and non beginners.

Will the body of the HBX 903A (grey/white geometric one) fit this?

Have you found the replacement part? Swapping is just a screwdriver in most cases 😊

Can you move the ESC or do you think you can move the E?S c put on top of the servo so you have more room for a longer battery or do you think would be too much trouble

Have you seen my 903a video? I’m not sure if I’ll get to that comparison or not, but I did do a 903a vs 2996a, which the 2996a is very similar to the 2997a. My opinion is the 2997a is better in every way.

QUESTION about my 2997a , it seems to me that mine has migrated most of the drive to the front wheels. Is that a typical problem? I'm assuming something is wrong with the center diff? Any tips or ideas?

@DerbyCityRC

2 ай бұрын

Hmmm. Try to explain the issue a bit better. When under load, the center diff will displace power to the least loaded wheels which is normal. Do all 4 spin nearly equally when you hold the car in the air and throttle it?

@DOUGandNIKI

2 ай бұрын

@@DerbyCityRC Okay... did a little more detail testing. When I bench test it wheels all spin evenly. When I run it down the road front wheels wildly burn out style until I reach a high speed but under accellaration the fronts seem to be driving much more power with low traction than the rears which are biting well.

@DerbyCityRC

@DOUGandNIKI did this change so be you’ve had it or has it always been this way?that is normal center diff characteristics. I would check the front and rear diffs for any gear and driveshaft and axle damage, and if nothing is found, remove the center diff and put thicker fluid in it. Like 100-500wt.

Have you adjusted the throttle trim knob? It’s the one on the right and it may be turned too far counter-clockwise. Give that a small and slow turn if not centered. Be careful it will cause the car to move on its own if you go too far.
