HBX 2996a vs HBX 903a - cheap brushless RC cars 

Man I love your videos so much and just don't understand why you don't have hundreds of millions of subscribers!!!! People are really missing out on your content. Always so great and family friendly, which is not a concern of mine but still appreciated, and most of all incredibly hilarious. All the details you give about the cars and what they need or don't need is just really helpful to a lot of people just getting into RC as well. You're just all around great for the RC community.

Definitely have to go with the 2996a, The bigger tires makes a world of difference, little shock adjustment I think it will land a lot better 👍🏻 Little man pushing his bike around had me rolling 😂

Oh, so THAT'S what a shredded diff sounds like. 😬 Appreciate the honesty and showing us what these things can take!

Ha ha, the ending got cut short... Yeah, I'm with you on the bigger one, I have the Flyhal version, for some reason I haven't even run it yet, hopefully before the snow comes...

Once again, another awesome video. I've got the 901a with lc racing truggy wheels and right now of my hbx vehicles, it was one of my favorites to take to the track. I'm still working on/tuning the flyhal fc610/hbx 2995 chassis.

Been looking forward to this video to see a direct comparison. It went the way I thought it might, with the 2996a coming out on top, but what a great test of both together! Thanks for your great content as always!

I always run a small zip-tie around my receiver and chassis brace or whatever I stick it to. Keeps her nice tight.

"digested the gears!!" 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 mate after 14 minutes and i am still laughing!!!:hahahaha!! ( the video stopped unexpectedly)

Very good upgrades to both of their brushed versions!!! They are much better on brushless metal driveline and oil shocks. The 2995/2996a is still my favorite. Tough as nails!!! 😁

Glad I found your channel brother been watching you for a few weeks now man love all vids keep it up brother💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾

Another amazing effort! I do not know how you do it! Not sure what camera you are rolling with but if its an option investing in a shotgun mic addon for outdoor stuff and also in talking head shots will go a long way. They are not too expensive, nor are lapel mics which will make recording off screen a lot better too! Shame about the tires on the 903, some of mine actually broke the inner spoke bits, they did not last long! Oh well at least there are lots of great alternatives!

Sometimes rhe little cheap ones are where it's at. Check your inbox! Also found a nice dirt field off of 44 yesterday

Not sure if you've done it already, but now that you've done the 903a platform against the 2996a and also against the 16889a. Have you considered pitching the 2996a against one of your other favourites the 16889a, thus completing the hbx comparison triangle? Just for fun as much as scientific curiosity. Also, keep up the great work! By far the best and most fun rc videos online.

'Look at you bud, good job!' 'rrruuaaagh!!'

dude I love your editing! nice seeing the family enjoying the hobby!

Also i have 2 hm102 and cant really find parts. Are there any other platforms that are the same.

I have been thinking about the 1/10 vs 1/12 scale thing a bit, if a 1/10 scale truck is derived from let's say a 1989 Toyota Hilux it will be 1/10 the size of said 1989 Hilux, if a 1/12 scale truck is derived from let's take a 2003 Ford Bronco it will be 1/12 the size of the Ford Bronco which might make it the same size as the 1/10 scale 1989 Toyota Hilux or perhaps even bigger. If all the 1/10 or 1/12 scale trucks or cars were the same size, they would not be true to scale.

Even the kids get some sweet jumps in love it man 🎉😂

The Mad One drives upside down ‼️👍👍🦾🦾🤘🤘

I love my 903a with 1/10 tires on it

Excelentes videos, demuestra la recistencia, manejo y acrobacias, por ver tus videos e comprado varios rc 2997a syc max best y hbx 16889a pro me, podrás mandar el enlace de los neomaticos que le pusiste al 2996a para ponelos al 2997a me lo recomendás?

I especially enjoyed this one. Nice work on keeping it entertaining.

So funny, think I remember using the word “dingus” when I was a kid😝! Think it means : [din-gus]: minion of who which doesn’t know of which they are coming or going. Used in a sentence; My brother is such a [dingus]! 😆 Now I have both of these in brushed form and I do also have a brushless 901a. I really like both, but in brushed form, when having to choose between the 2995 and the 903 I would pick the 903 over the big heavy 2995. It, to me is funner to drive. In brushless form, I can see that center diff definitely improving reliability. But for performance and being funner to drive to me, I think I would still go with the 901a of course not wearing those big oversized monster truck tires which puts stress on its diffs. Maybe a tire slightly in between would be perfect. Of course I say this knowing full well I don’t drive my trucks quite as hard as you do. That center diff should be on the 901a and 903a models! What wet those dingus’s at HBX thinking!👊🏼👍🏻🙌🏼 Great video brother!

There's a new UDIRC/HOSIM 1202Pro for a similar price.1/12 brushless 3S really, independent ESC and receiver... Does 65km/h out of the box with the included 3S! And it's tough

Will the 2996a do 3s on that 30a hobbywing esc?

You gotta get a Losi promoto MX! Trust me,you WONT regret it!

Can you tell me if the body shell from the 903a fits on the 2996a? Btw...because of your video I bought the 2996a, mounted the bigger tires and it's awesome! 🤩

Hello This is RC who loves HBX. You can buy it cheaply and enjoy it.

I gotta get me another set of those tires for my mt10.... And not gear it up so high again 😆 They are such a great set of tires for the price.

Another banger of a video!

Do these still have the 2 in 1 ESC/Receiver?!

Which fluid do you recommend for landing the jumps on the 2996a with stock shocks?

Great video! My wife likes watching with me too. We like the entertainment. Also any chance you will be reviewing the hbx 16890a? If it passes your test it might be the next one i get.

I want this car for the center diff! do these things bottom out the shocks when you run the bigger tires? you do lots of jumps but u don't seem to break shocks or shock towers i find aggressive gyro on the shorter wheelbases helps with spinning out. like 50%. can always overcome the understeer because of the short wheelbase

What is the best rc cars for biggerners on jumps

Hey just wanted to let you know what I do with the axles I take a piece of heat shrink and shrink it down then pump it full of grease and no rocks and it shouldn't let the springs fling off the shafts!!!

Do you prefer the 299a or the Rlaaro Terminator?

Really enjoy your channel and content. Have you every ran into the bezgar hm102? I think they are pretty good but the durability is questionable.

Love the vids, you bash any of the parks around Louisville?

Wich shock oil do you choose for the 2996a? 700cps?

whats the diff between this & the flyhaul fc610

whats the diff between this & the hbx2996a

2996a is not anywhere on Amazon for some reason……

Niiiiiice review! As always! Could we get a 2996a vs Rival MT10? That's the real question!

Have you had issues with steering alignment . Mine after many bashes started to not like going straight. The servo saver seems weak and def misbehaving. I have three of these and they all seem to do it

Will 12mm wheel spacers work on the 2996a? Vant find 15mm in sweden

Hey now... You're getting mighty aggressive with that pointer finger.

I see that I am also more in favour of RC trucks like you because they are simply better suited for more terrains than buggies are.

Do the Rival MT10 tires fit these or even the 16889a Pro?

AWESOME vid bro 👌👌👌,your little one is awesome lol 🤣🤣, nice jumping, in fact awesome jumping,💯💥👌👌 its the red one, for me, bro, hmmm maybe I have to break the 1/10 scale code of honor, lol 😅🤣, & gits me one dem der, 1/12 scale buggies lol 😁😄😉👍

You guys are so cool...😂🤙🏼

bro i want to upgrade my wltoys 104009 in brushless system.. my buget is not so high. wat do you tink it is enaf to by a Brushless-Motor F540 V2 von Surpass Hobby with 60A-ESC for 1/10 3300KV to push it on 3s 30 euro on Bangod . or shoud i by a higer KV motort and Higer ESC BL Motor 3900KV Motor mit 120A Brushless ESc for 53euro .. The transmitter is from Dambo RC maybe 30 euro and 25 KG servo for 12 Euro .. THX for uyour help

What scale are those?

do you know if 3s will burn the esc on the hbx?

Where do I get those shocks?

Yeah 2996a all the way. My HBX 901a which is the same guys as the 903a has rear diff and spider gear issues and prob spent more money fixing that that thing than to just buy a new rc. And it still doesn’t work lol

I would like very much to buy it but I cant find many spare parts on the internet.

Strange that they made thier "1/10" trucks less powerful than the 1/16

HBX is not as reliable as MJX though.

Not much of a contest.
