I usually wait to write a review to see how good or bad a product is and on this one I waited 4 months. I purchased this little truck off of Revain for my son's 7th birthday in September and the got it October 1st. Needless to say this was the hit of the presents. Out of the box I was very impressed with everything that came with the truck. 2 batteries, spare parts, nice controler, great manual with full parts breakdown and one awesome little Truck. To me its was extremely fast straight out of the box and thankfully the controller has a slow mode on it so my son could learn to better control it. For the first 2 weeks the walked around the house with it driving from room to room and if was amazed at the battery life from the included batteries. In slow it was getting anywhere from 25 mins to 35 mins of drive/play time. We soon moved it to the normal setting (after he saw dad ripping it around) and if will tell you this thing is a BEAST! It is tough as nails, takes a high-speed crash and keeps on going. My son ran this thing into walls, chairs, rocks, a mailbox( that I was sure would be the end of the steering) at full speed. And then he stepped on it, (or stomped depending on your point of view) all it did was crack the front finder on the body.And then came the upgrades. My son taking after his father wanted to outrun dads expensive RC's. First came some oil filled shocks, (it sports the Haiboxing blue shocks found here on Revain) and new tires. The original tires where still in good shape but we where going to need a bit more grip. Round two was a full brushless upgrade with a surpass hobby ESC and 2440 motor. And to finish it off a Dumbro At with gyro. Of note is I used the stock pinion gear off of the brushed motor, and all of the driveline is still bone stock except the brushless motor.This thing is absolutely insane now. It will do standing backflips, wheelies on demand and fast, super fast. I keep the speed trim set it 50% for playing and bashing and still get 18 mins of run time on the stock batteries, throw a little large 2s in and we still get our 30min run times. This little HBX is truely amazing, cheap starter rc, easy to learn on and once you pass that learning curve; its easy to upgrade and the fun keeps on coming.For me and my son I highly recommend this great little blaster/basher.
