HAIBOXING 2995 RC Truck, 1:12 Scale RC Buggy, 40km/h Off-Road Desert Truck

To be honest, I was a little hesitant at first to buy because of the name. I am an old school R/Cer, and I'm used to Tamiya and Traxxas stuff. I haven't owned an R/C car for quite some time, though. I didn't want to shell out for a nitro, as I'm just getting back into the hobby. So I shopped around, and found this. After reading mostly very good reviews, I decided to pull the trigger. Man. I am glad that I did! This car has no dang business being this good for this price. The quality you get with this HBX car is unbelievable! It is FAST. This little thing RIPS at max speed. Holy smokes. The controls are super responsive, and the servo, suspension, and motor, are all good. They work together seamlessly, with no one thing, being a stand-out issue. I've jumped it, rolled it, flipped it, and put it though its paces. One really cool thing about this, is that even though it is a beginner R/C from a price standpoint, it has features like adjustable speed, and steering trim right on the controller. I've only ever seen that in more expensive RTR cars. My eight-year old wanted to try it out, so I turned the speed to low, before I let him bash it against our cinderblock. wall. Speaking of which, this thing is TOUGH. Even after handling a bunch of abuse dished out by my kids, it is still fully intact, and performing flawlessly. So, to HBX: consider me a fan. I absolutely love this car. There is a lot to love. I am going to get one for each of my sons for Christmas, and I really couldn't be happier with it. Which is why I jusmped on to do this review. HBX deserved high praise. They have earned it! As someone who got started with cars like the Tamiya Lunchbox, and the Tamiya Grasshopper, this HBX has completely exceeded my expectation. I recommend this car whole-heartedly, to any one who is returning (or new), to the hobby. Great buy! I definitely see more HBX R/C in my future!

Let me start off saying, I love the HBX2995. I own probably 13 or 14 RC cars. I have quite a few HBX just because their so durable and for the price they honestly can't be beat. This 2995 is the only brushed RC that I own. When I bought it, I also ordered a new motor and ESC to upgrade to brushless (the motor from HBX 2997A) but after I received the car and took it out and drove it I realized I didn't need to upgrade it. Its a 550 brushed motor and provides plenty of power. The torque and power is perfect in my opinion. I've drove it through everything you can think of from construction sites to playgrounds etc and I have ZERO complaints. The center differential makes all the difference in the in the world (my HBX 2996 has center differential also). Don't let it being a brushed motor prevent you from buying it, it's super easy to drop a brushless motor in it if you wanted to at some point if you feel you need it. The HBX 2995 is a fantastic car and worth every penny whether on sale or regular price. I highly recommend it.

I was into RC cars when I was younger. Now that my kids are getting older I wanted to get something that we could play with together but also didn't want to spend a ton of money. I am thoroughly impressed with this truck. Build quality is good with lots of metal parts. It's also fast! The manual also includes a full list of replacement parts you can buy. I love that you can adjust the top speed...which will hopefully prevent my kids from driving it into a wall.

Awesome little car. Just needed some bigger wheels for clearance. Thank fully I had these guys laying around and fit perfectly. Slings rocks like crazy so watch your ankles. Lol have some hella lights and other goodies coming for it . Also have the buggy coming can't wait to play with that one as well. We were out in dirt lot across the road slinging rocks and throwing up all kinds of dust too much fun lol

Let me start off by saying this RC Car is really cool for the price. I have been in the hobby for 20 years, and I've had many hobby grade rc cars, such as Traxxas, Axial, HPI and many other leading brand rc cars. I am pretty experienced and really enjoy my cars, as I'm sure many of you do as well. Most of the cars I own are upgraded and super fast, so I wanted to get my kids an entry level rc car to start their own personal growth into the hobby. I didn't want to "break the bank" on a $300+ Traxxas etc, so I did some Amazon "research" into possible rc cars I could get for my 5 kids ( ages 2-14) and I came across Haiboxing (the cool kids call them HBX 😎) and I also looked at DEERC and Hosim and probably a few other. All of them where extremely similar, but varied by battery end connectivity and Mah size, wich breaks down into run time, for those who don't know. Anyway, Haiboxing was the brand I decided to go with, because the value for the price seemed like the better choice at the time. I really liked the look of the rc car and the extras that came with it. It was really cool that it had an ESC/Motor, Servo, 2 Batteries, 2 extra tires and the LIGHTS. I love lights. Lol. They aren't super expensive, but if they come for free that's a big plus. It has the front lights, "roof" mounted lights and even the rear red "brake" lights. I thought the kids would enjoy that. So with all of the things included, and the fact that you could upgrade the car later, I figured I might as well go for it. I'm a little bitter about the purchase though. When it arrived, we opened it up, excited to play, and I noticed the steering horn was broken right out of the box..the kids where so upset, and I was shocked. I wondered how this could get past "quality control " and I did what any dad would do..I tried to my best to figure out how to fix it. It had no extra steering parts or anything that would help fix it, so I contacted the customer service through Amazon. The car comes with a card that says to email them through Amazon or their email. I emailed them(they are located in China) and it took over 24hrs for them to get back to me. They said they would order me parts and that's all they offered. No partial refund or anything. I wrote them back and forth a couple times and each time it took over 24hrs(very frustrating 😒) The rc car arrived Monday 1/16/23 and the parts won't arrive until Monday 1/23/23 to Tuesday 1/24/23. That's a week+ . Honestly I get it, things take time, but super disappointing and as a father it sucked for me to see the kids so disappointed. I reached out to them an asked if they could provide me with a decent discount on another car if I ordered more from them. I figured I'd give them a chance to provide me with a decent customer service experience. I was hoping maybe 20% off another car..they offered me $10 off another car. I did appreciate that they tried, but to be honest I was also disappointed in their offer and hoped they would have done better. I just wanted to feel helped and valued and I also figured with Amazon Prime 2 day shipping I could get another car here for the kids to play with until the parts arrived to fix it. Let's be honest..could I have returned it? Yes, I could have, but I dislike sending things back like that, because some people that order the same item actually receive the used item you sent back. Most don't, but some do. It took me multiple days to figure it out, but that's what happened to me. The steering servo horn was broken by a previous customer who returned the item. I thought the tires look ever so slightly worn down(just a pinch) almost like the "new car smell" was faded. Lol. You know what sold it for me? What sold it for me was the darn sticker sheet that comes with the car. (Picture attached) it was missing nearly ALL the stickers.lol. I didn't realize it until I already talked to the company and figured why even tell them. They won't do anything for me anyway. They seemed upset that I even asked for a discount to buy another car from them. So...to remedy the servo horn situation I borrowed my Slash 4x4 steering servo horn and used it on the Haiboxing car to make it work for the kids. (My poor Slash) Lol. Anyway, if you got this far, I appreciate you taking the time and going on this ranting journey with me. Let me tell you this... this car is definitely worth the money for a beginner or a 20+ year rc veteran. It has 2 1600mah batteries that are dean, so you get decent play time, and it handles WAY better than I imagined it would. It was my first inexpensive rc car, so I was pleasantly surprised by that. It also has a speed control dial that allows you to dial down the speed for the beginner or younger kid to use. If you're "on the fence" about it, I'd push you over the fence and say go for it and try it out. Even though I dislike the customer service I received, I would still recommend the car and will definitely be buying another one for my kids. I just won't rely on the customer service much. I hope this review helped you in your purchasing decision and I hope you have a blast with whatever rc car you decide to purchase.

Bought two of these about 3 months ago for me and my 5-year-old son. I used to love RC cars as a kid, and these are a lot of fun. They make walks way more interesting. Not as fast as brushless models, but still solid speed, about a 6.5 out of 10. They handle PNW conditions well, including rain, puddles, rocks, and grass. Big downside is battery life. Stock batteries claim 40 minutes but realistically only last about 12 to 15 minutes, even at lower speeds. Fix is simple. I upgraded to 5200mAh batteries. They don’t fit in the stock compartment, so I removed the spare tire, cut a small hole near the dash, and strapped the battery on top with Velcro. Now getting around 45 minutes with solid performance. Also, I don’t know why RC cars still use body pins. Biggest pain to deal with. We switched to Velcro straps so you can just unstrap it, pop the body off, swap the battery, and get back to driving way faster.

For just getting into rc cars this is perfect. The speed control is control is nice for my kids to drive too. Pretty impressed with the quality for the price and the batteries hold up for a solid 30-45 minutes overall I would definitely buy again and will suggest to others

If you new to the hobby this RC truck is perfect for starters. It controls well, water splash proof, its great on any terrain and you can always upgrade later to add more speed.

I bought this truck as a gift to my son. We received the car in good condition after a long wait because it was shipped from abroad and we were really excited to try it. Unfortunately we got to try it only twice and it was awesome but then the batteries stop charging. I tried to replace the batteries only through Amazon but I could not. The only option available is to return the truck back and place a new order. My son is disappointed and he is not willing to wait again so I am trying to locate and purchase the battery locally at my own expense to avoid the long wait again.

Excelente vehiculo, apenas llevo unos dias uandolo, per es rapido y facil de manejar, es un todo terreno, buena calidad de materiales, en relacion calidad precio lo vale

A must buy for hobby lovers bought for 26k value for money compared with all other hobby sites. Very sturdy and very fast led lights are main plus compared to other rc cars

The RC car was as per description and performance was well matching and good.

Es bueno 😊 corre bien y las pilas duran lo suficiente
