I have been involved with the RC hobby since I was a young boy (over 35yrs), so I have seen a lot of changes through the years, and have learned a lot about land vehicles, planes, helicopters and quad copters/drones. For the price of this truck, I have not ever seen or used an RC vehicle that was this fun, and of decent quality. These days, it's easy to spend over $100 and end up with crap ( which i have done a couple times). This Haiboxing model 18859 truck is great. I got this for my 5yr old son who has crashed, smashed, and bashed it at high speeds many times, and nothing has broken on it yet. This truck is very fast in normal speed mode, and truly is good quality. Being that it is 4 wheel drive, it burns through our yard on grass with ease, faster and more easily than other trucks my son has that are 3 times its size. The cons....the li-po batteries that came with this do still work, but the charger that came with this does not balance the cells well, so they have started to lose their run time. So the charger is not very good, I use my own balance charger, and I will be buying replacement batteries of a little bit better quality. The shocks that came stock worked fine at first, but after a few months of use they broke down and started to bind up. I was able to find upgraded replacement shocks which are better quality, but they were $20 for the set of 4. So the price of that is steep considering the whole truck and remote with 2 batteries was under $120. The motor in the truck I got (about a year ago in Jan 2022) was not brushless, however it works very well and has plenty of
For the price range it exceeded my expectations. The battery bag and having usb as well as wall outlet charger are great. takes a while to charge batteries so I use the one at a time. You can use both batteries at the same time if you want a longer run time. I also like the extra set of rims and tires as well as tools and extra body pins. Nothing broke yet but in the instruction manual there is a list of replacement parts you can order. It's pretty fast too. It is well worth the money!
I was extremely impressed with the quality and build of this truck. It works great and I was quite a bit surprised by how durable it is. I noticed some great things about this monster RC truck that are worth mentioning. First is the packaging. It’s so cool! The graphics are good, and it adds excitement and expectations. Then upon trying this for the first time, I knew I got one terrific RC car! It runs crazy fast! I was able to run it up to 40 mph, it is one of the fastest RC cars I have. The remote is very responsive and easy to operate and can go quite far. I love the custom setting feature of the Hobbywing ESC. I can make modifications to this truck and I’m excited about the outcome. Lastly, the dual battery feature is awesome! It extends my playtime, and I am planning to purchase more spare batteries so I can continue to play while charging the other batteries. Great job LAEGENDARY!
This truck is great for anyone who wants to get into RC. I have had it for a month or so been having fun running it around the yard.broke the shell the first day and after looking for a substitute I made my own it's not perfect but looks pretty good.
