HAIBOXING Remote Control Car,1:12 Scale 4x4 RC Cars Protector 38+ KM/H Speed, 2.4G All-Terrain Off-Road Truck Toy Gifts for Boys and Adults Included Two Rechargeable Batteries Provide 40+ Min Playtime

Update(4/21/2025): I stand corrected, the extra battery was stored in the car. I was finally able to test it out on the pavement with my kids and it was excellent. A few things to note, specifically in comparison to the Bezgar version (no longer available on Amazon):- The rear red lights are a HUGE plus, Particularly when running the cars at night, which is extremely fun with the kids (and challenging).- The headlight is very similar to Bezgar's older version, but the wire cable is more flexible/slinkly-like, it it is less likely to cause an issue with messing up the wire for the light, which equals more longevity.- The dimensions are not exactly the same between the two cars. This HBX version is slightly slimmer chassis, wider wheel diameter (great if you want to swap for slightly larger tires), and the wheel width is wider (although they look almost identical to the older Bezgar version)- The HBX comes with oil-filled shocks, whereas the Bezgar came with regular spring shocks (even though I did upgrade to oil-filled). Even with the upgraded shocks, the Bezgar had plastic connection tips, whereas HBX has metal.- The HBX has a better motor and components (metal vs plastic). This is good for longevity, but I imagine the weight is more on the HBX so having a bigger motor doesn't make it faster than the older Bezgar version.- They appear to run around the same speed, except the HBX batter dies quicker (maybe because the weight is likely heavier and the second set of lights drain more power). Maybe the Bezgar version is a slightly faster, even with a fully charged battery. I will try to test and update.All-in-all, I would say this was worth the purchase. I can still run the older Bezgar Protector and get parts to maintain it, but if I have to wait, or just want a "fresher" ride, then I know the newer HBX version will keep me in a good position and possibly hold up longer with the parts not being plastic.Original Post: I have had the Bezgar version for while and love it, but decided to try this one out for a few of its differences (battery, lights, motor). This one seems like it will be great as well, but I am disappointed that it only came with one battery when it says it comes with two.

The media could not be loaded. I fly drones, A LOT. But, I'm new to the RC dirt racer hobby. I don't think I could have found a better buggy to start out with.The HBX (Haiboxing) Protector 1:12 scale RC model is very well made with the best quality parts and materials. It's extremely rugged, with great 4WD and independent suspension. The huge motor and ESC (electronic speed controller) are the powerful heart of this beast. And with the dual battery set up, it will run, run and RUN! I went out and played for 20 minutes on the first run and STILL had plenty of battery left. This package includes two EXTRA batteries, so you're guaranteed to get your satisfying time with this bad boy.The front bumper/skid plate is spring loaded on the nose to help lessen the severity of head on impact. The chassis is really tough composite material. The battery compartments are easily accessed, without lifting the canopy. So quick changing makes for less down time. The batteries are a common type, making spares readily available. The canopy will open with the removal of two pins, tilting toward the front. (NOTE: be careful as you open the canopy. There is a wire from the chassis to the Baja lights on the top that CAN be stressed as you tilt the canopy forward.)Under the canopy, you have full access to the motor, ESC, the entire drive train and suspension. You can see in the first picture, where I swapped out the shocks for the all metal, oil capped shocks. I also increased the lift by changing the mounting point on the lower swing arm to the closest in. Just one of the upgrades available. Next, I'm going to swap out the drive shafts for the metal versions (which may take a while, there are no instructions and I'm pretty green), and eventually swap out the skin sections of the canopy. All of these upgrades are available from HBX on Amazon.The second picture is a shot of what you get in the package. Shots 3 and 4 are of the car as it arrives in the package.Finally, in the video, you can see how powerful the buggy is, and how well it handles rough terrain. I crashed it, flipped it, rolled it and it didn't even show a scratch. The controller is super responsive, from granny to rocket. The steering servo can be aligned perfectly with the controller and is super responsive, steering is fast and accurate. I didn't take it out on the pavement for an all-out speed test. But, from it's action in the dirt, I can say that it's probably so fast that I will never use the whole throttle on the street.I have the HBX Hail Storm too. A 1:18 model and it's a lot of fun. But, the Protector is a real beast! For my fist 1:12 scale true hobby grade RC buggy, I'm more than satisfied! Great purchase! Five BIG stars!Update: One of the things that makes this hobby so fun is doing the upgrades and modifications to your model, customizing it to your liking. Haiboxing has many upgrades available for the Protector. I have purchased a few. There are even more upgrades available for 1:12 scale RC buggys that may work for the Protector, bur are after market parts. For the novice, someone that is just getting into this hobby, doing these upgrades can be a great learning experience, requiring much research on YouTube, etc. However, you would expect some instructions to come with the parts, on how to install them. Maybe I expect too much. But, I can say that I am disappointed that no instructions came with the replacement axles and that the only advice or support that I could get from Haiboxing was to look it up on YouTube. Of course, there are no videos specific to the Protector and replacing the axles. So, I am kind of stuck, trying to watch videos of other models, and trying to apply those demos to the Protector. It's my fear that I may break something, or install it wrong, causing damage to the model. I did find some YT vids on how to do the axle upgrades on another HBX model. I think that it will be the same for mine.

I received it packaged fantastic. Even had to peel the plastic off the body. Great instruction book with breakdowns and schematics of the entire vehicle taking apart. I build RC rock crawlers so this is my first truck that goes over 5 mph lol. And right out of the box after charging the batteries the first run was such a blast. It's a completely different world but it's really fun in the dirt and doing jumps. It performed outstanding. On the asphalt it was just as much fun. I'm sure others go a lot faster but this one is supposed to be about 18 miles an hour. It is impressively built and very strong. It is also adjustable. You can adjust your shocks depending on what height you would like or whatever. I haven't messed with that yet. It appears you can add another set in the front. I'm going to check into that. It is upgradable to brushless and there is a kit you can buy for it. That'll make it faster but brushless is more dependable. Buy it, for the price you're getting more

Good value and speed for the money,first battery didn't last long,will recharge longer and retest

I was concerned of the performance compared to the price point. I am very impressed with the quality and performance of this car.It rips! The speed adjustment was great for my 7 year old daughter to get the hang of how it handled before we cranked it up to full power. It’s really stable. The suspension geometry is well balanced. Plus the build quality appears very durable.I love the fact that it comes with two batteries so that you aren’t stuck waiting on a charge. I would definitely recommend this to anyone looking to get into a good, really fun RC without spending 4-5 times the price.

its an amazing rc car, im so excited to drive it, its so cool, i liked it
