GoolRC 16889A Pro RC Cars, 1:16 Scale Remote Control Car, 4WD 45KM/H High Speed Brushless Motor RC Truck, 2.4GHz All Terrains Off-Road Electric Toy Vehicle for Kids and Adults

I bought this truck because I’ve seen video after video praising it for its durability, and I wanted to expand my RC collection with something inexpensive.Since my purchase, I’ve bashed it at the skate park multiple times, and I’ve crashed it pretty hard multiple times on concrete. However, not a single thing has broke. My other brand RC truck has came home from the same bashing sessions with something broken almost every time.I don’t run my RC toys super hard, so I’m getting around 16 to 20 minutes of run time per battery pack. This time includes a random amount of jumps, turns, straights, and more jumps, all on concrete. Your runtime will vary based on how you drive, and on what surfaces you drive on.Handling can be a handful near max speeds and during hard acceleration from a standstill. Plus, on smooth concrete I experience understeer during hard cornering. These things are reasonably expected because the tires included on this truck are meant for dirt.I’ve not tested nor used the battery charger. So I have no idea how long it takes, or any other details about it. Instead, I use another (expensive) charger that is compatible with all types of RC batteries and connectors.Pros:Cost effectiveDurableBrushless motorAdjustable speed control (to help beginners)Replacement parts seem to be available online.Fun!Cons:The battery compartment doesn’t allow for larger batteries.Replacement parts will be shipped from China (longer wait times for US customers).Overall, I really like this truck and I have fun with it every time I take it out!

Got it for my sons bday and now I want one for me. It has hit some stuff hard going fast and just keeps on going. This truck speeds right through high grass without any issue. Tons of power. We actually keep it on the lower speed setting for my son and that still has some serious speed/power. Very satisfied. Battery might give ya up to 20 minutes on a full charge so getting an upgraded battery that last 45 min or so isn't a bad idea. 20 minutes is still a lot of fun though. Will catch some serious air off a ramp.

Very fun to play with

I was very excited about the positive reviews about durability and great quality. My 4 wheel drive stopped working within 5 minutes of it first run..I'm sure it's a fluke and would love to just have a replacement sent? NO WARANTY DEPT I CAN FIND.###UPDATE- FRONT DRIVE TRAIN was missing a pin causing it to spin freely like I had no front wheel drive. Waiting on replacement part for review.#UPDATE 2- ONCE DRIVE SHAFT WAS REPLACED AND I COULD PROPERLY EVALUATE THE AMAZING TRUCK!! WHY DIDN'T I BUY THIS 16 SCALE FIRST!?? BEEST BASHER HANDS DOWN! UNBREAKABLE, FAST AROUND 44 MPH. I LOVE THIS SCALE!! BRUSHLESS! UNBREAKABLE! FAST! SMILES 😃 ON ALL FACES.

Not super fast, but I like that about this r.c. it's a tank! The faster r.c. always have differential issues because of the speed. This little car is just strong and reliable. Get the extra batteries with it or you'll be bummed. Be careful running 3s lipo without upgrades because it will burn through gears and gear boxes.

Approximately 4-5hrs of active playtime and it already stopped working. Wheels still turn but the truck doesn't drive forward or reverse. Would often lose signal. Right out of the box, I already had my doubts. It came in a different model RC truck box but the actual product looked like the HBX 16889A Pro. The wheels were shaky and makes a grindy noise out of the box. I didn't want to be petty so I still decided to keep it until it finally stopped working. I wasn't even riding it hard at all. I would only drive it in our cul-de-sac with no crashing.The only reason I bought this because I keep seeing HBX 16889A Pro as very durable on YouTube but every time I click the link it takes me to GoolRC 16889A seller instead of HBX amazon store. Maybe I just got unlucky and received a defective one but this is my experience with the product I got.A week prior to this, I purchased HBX 18859E 1/18 scale from the HBX amazon store seller. My son who rode the 18859E hard in water, sand and slammed it on curbs and pavements yet it still runs strong. This 70$ abused truck outlasted a 160$ protected truck.I am hoping I just got a bad batch because I want this particular model. I may update this review in the future but for now I bought the Non Pro version of 16890A from the HBX amazon store seller.

We now have two of these. My 7 year old has wiped out with this thing a few times and the only thing wrong has been cosmetic.Great bang for the buck. It hauls through grass and over gravel. It has good battery life. If you have a good charger (purchased separately) these little batteries will be fully charged quickly.

Absolutely love this car! Great for bashing and super durable!
