Hosim Brushless RC Cars, 1:10 68+ KMH High Speed Remote Control Car for Adults Boys, 4X4 All Terrains Waterproof Off Road Hobby Grade Large Fast Racing Buggy Toy Gift Monster Trucks

This Hosim X07 has to be the best value RC you can buy, absolutely amazing price/quality/feature balance, you won't have to buy anything else if you just want a decent quality fun RC to goof around with occasionally without going too deep into the hobby. But truly hobby class (vs. "toy") for those more advanced. Hosim even provides full one year warranty and local support in each major continent/US contact phone support, which is really nice in this price range. (I specifically mention X07 as the actual model number since it is not mentioned in the listing and you will need to know this to order parts) It's important to note that this is a case where the seller should have done whole new listings each time they upgraded it over the years instead of just using the same listing. It has been upgraded 3-4x times, I believe, in the last 4 years the original model came out, so reviews older than mid '23 have many cons that no longer apply. This thing has changed far too much for older reviews to be accurate any more. So many parts have been upgraded over the years, these now have better shocks, steering servo, and many plastic steering parts were upgraded to metal, etc, this is a company that listens to feedback/reviews and addresses issues with upgrades. For the price point (~150-160 with constant "coupons" offered) this is an amazing value! It is assembled extremely well with thread locker on almost every screw and has wheel nuts that don't come loose on their own over time like most in this price range and lower. Sure, you absolutely can spend 2-3x as much for really awesome stuff, but this thing is straight up the most well-built, fast and capable RC you can get in the price range. You can turn the throttle way down for kids or rock crawling too, it's an awesome buy! (End basic review) Advanced issues/addressing prior review cons: I find the throttle control, at least in the current version, to be excellent! You can turn it way down and you can rock crawl or let younger children use it and it's not just On/Off as someone mentioned, there is full range of speed variety within the throttle trigger travel too. When the throttle trim is cranked, you need to take off gradually or it will flip itself on its back even with the wheelie bar. There is no automatic and non-adjustable drag brake (where braking kicks in just releasing the throttle) on this (X07) unlike its truck shell brother model, the X08. Instead, it free wheels releasing the trigger and instead I LOVE how this has a fully adjustable manual braking level (You brake with this by quickly reversing the throttle trigger) with the middle trim knob. All the way left is full braking and twisting to the right uses progressively less braking force. On a very long flat carpeted hallway at work with perfect traction, if I go full speed then reverse the trigger quickly, it brakes so hard it does a front flip! So, if mostly going really fast on dry surfaces you might want to add less braking, and use more for courses with lots of turns, etc. Even the provided batteries are quite good for "stock" and while it is 3S/11.1v battery capable, those will wear out the gear boxes and a number of other parts FAR more quickly, when 2S/7.4v batteries provide plenty of power. As a "compromise", I got a 7.6v (slightly higher voltage), 100c (higher discharge) battery and since the controller can even handle 11.1v, it handles this one easily, somewhat surprisingly it clearly has about 10-15% more torque and top speed, which seems to be the perfect balance of power for this size/level of vehicle instead of jumping all the way up to a parts shredding 3S battery. They can be found here by searching "2S 7.6V 100c 6000mAh Shorty 4mm Deans RC battery" and going with the Hoovo or Zeee brand, whichever is on coupon cheapest, they are both good for the money. Could be considered a minor con, there are NO aftermarket batteries that are the same dimensions as or fit as stock, but at least all "shorty" batteries do match the proper length, are similar to or better in capacity than stock, and are simply mounted on their side in the battery tray with zero issue using the extra velcro straps provided. As I mentions in the title, this is basically 1:12 scale in overall dimensions, and from what I understand uses mostly but not all 1:10 parts. So to guarantee they will fit, you pretty much have use the specific replacement parts for this model or it's brother models: the X08 and in another brand, XLF X03A Max to be 100% certain they will fit. The parts offered on the Hosim web site are fairly overpriced but do offer free and fast shipping at least. Just remember if you have time you can web search around by "Hosim X07 parts" or XLF X03A Max", etc and find the balance of price, shipping cost/speed etc that works for you. Hope this has helped the beginners and more knowledgeable alike! Like you reading this, I bought this right here for myself and wasn't given reimbursement or anything for this review. This is all me genuinely impressed with this for the money and bored at work to have the time to write this up! :)

Took this truck out to the helipad in my neighborhood to test drive this thing for the very first time, did nothing aggressive in the least to it other than several laps on a wide open, perfectly flat and smooth concrete landing, and when the battery started to slow down I turned it off and went home. Now, I’m a mechanic by trade so let me just say, I took the time to evaluate every single mounting screw and moving part on this vehicle, straight out of the box. I found quite a few loose screws and misaligned hardware just by my initial inspection on it, so I snugged everything up and made sure to assemble it the proper way like they should have done on that assembly line or even at the quality control department. And then I patiently waited for the battery to charge with the completely trash cable that came with it. After the first test drive the rear end was leaking fluid, probably due to the metal on plastic drive cups getting hot, and now it only creeps at a snails pace when I try running it. The wheels aren't wanting to catch with the gear box most likely due to the fluid leaking out and creating all that friction inside, and I can’t get this company to respond to emails, messages through Amazon, or anything. It’s a cool rc car but there’s a thousand like it that are equally just as cool, and equally just as worthless. These companies aren’t responding and they’re intentionally creating products with fail points to drive parts sales, and even then, the parts will be sold out half the time. 1 star. Not even 1 star if I had the choice.

Definitely enjoying my HOSIM 1:10 scale truck. Just bought my son the 1:16th HOSIM truck as well. This truck is definitely a blast. If you plan to get one… know it is NOT for newbies. Go easy on the throttle and learn the turning before going all out. (You can make all these adjustments on the remote) The remote allows you to adjust turning radius, alignment/turning, as well as throttle speed, which is super useful depending where you are driving it and what you plan to do with it. This thing is pretty FAST and super fun. DO NOT run 3S batteries unless you feel like replacing your gears often. I KNOW, we all want MORE…. But it WILL grind and chip the factory gears, front end, rear end and probably even the main drive gear. It is also SOO FAST it is uncontrollable on 3S without throttle mitigation. I am on my second truck now under warranty and only run 2S batteries that came with it now. Luckily, you can buy all of the SPARE PARTS online at HOSIM.com. This R/C truck runs FAST enough and is super fun. It wheelies, does pretty great donuts, and FLYYS around as is. The battery life does go by quick so you will probably want a speed charger or a 2nd set of batteries. The R/C truck also only comes with a single charger, I only run two batteries at a time so this is a pain but manageable with a cheap dual charger off Amazon. Things I would do immediately before running it: Make sure you use two battery straps across the batteries. If using the dual battery adapter. Put electrical tape or duct tape on it after its connected to the truck plug in. This has come out on me before while jumping the truck. The good news is, the actual connections to the battery are strong and don’t need tape. (I always leave my dual battery connector in and always run dual batteries) CONS: the ECU on both my trucks so far has randomly reset the throttle and steering to reverse the controls. (FIX: turn off the remote and the truck and just flip both switches to “reverse throttle” / reverse steering” and flip the truck and remote back on and it should go back to where you had it set to/ how it comes. If not, repeat the steps. This has worked for me.) Put BIGGER SCREWS in the top of the spoiler immediately (unless you don’t care about having a wing) PRO: This truck gives you a LOT of BANG for the BUCK and nothing in this price range will touch this truck. (Yes it is Made in China) Let me know if you have any questions. If you are on the fence. I say BUY IT!!! Can’t go wrong at this price point for the speed and joy this truck brings. Plus it jumps and goes up curbs like a boss regardless of the lower stance. This truck is SUPER DURABLE as well!!! I run her pretty HARD! Enjoy! - Vinny

To me this is not a tru 1/10 scale truck or monster truck it’s more like 1/12 scale can not fit a regular size 1/10 batteries or motor into the truck. The truck is nice but the shocks should have been made better at mounting points the plastic composite also could be a lil stronger bottom of shock broke on first run no hard hit not jump just a lil run off the curb and there the shock connection broke off just like that . Will try to get a replacement shock hope I can just keep it on flat soft dirt not packed may brake something. Chassis is good the other stuff weak..

This is my third Hosim large RC vehicle. I already have a (not sure it the numbers are right) 9155 and 9156 which are both discontinued. Both have the same 550 brushed motor chassis with one being a truck the other a car body. I'm happy with both so I stuck with Hosim. This new one is put together very well and the performs perfectly. It comes with two 2S batteries and has more than enough speed. I can't wait to try a 3S battery. The only negative thing I noticed is (maybe it's me) the vehicle seems top heavy. When jumping or driving hard at a local park it likes to land on its roof. At age 67 it's not as easy to chase it down as 20 yrs ago, haha. I'll have to look at the suspension to see if it can be lowered a little bit. Other than that I CAN NOT find any other problems. By the way I do not take any of my RC cars to the skate park!!! In my opinion that's the best way to ruin even the best, strongest and durable RC vehicle! I do enjoy driving my "toys" through the grass, woods, gravel (no sand!) and an empty parking lot. Speed bumps are fun too. I'll update my review in a few more weeks. Now that I got 5, 3 Hosim and 2 Hyper-go, I'll have to search around for a beginner RC car for my granddaughter. She loves cars just like her Poppop! I'm sure Hosim makes something that she will be able to handle. Anyone out there with experience, BUY THIS ONE!!!!!! I would not recommend this for a kid or beginner. 10 STARS

Awesome rc car. Very fast and great quality

What a car!! I will start with, that I own a small Rc shop specializing in inexpensive off brand Rc cars. Something good but at a better price than the big names. If I could sell these I would in a second. Although my first one was broke out of the box, I opted for an exchange as I had seen so many great videos on it. Well now it’s warm and I’ve been able to run a handful of batteries through it I can give an honest review. Car is fast, light, back flips pretty good. Good on a track, and short of the body (recommend gorilla taping the inside for longevity) I’m impressed by the punishment I’ve put it through. If it’s under $200, but it. There is often coupons. Think I got mine for around $150

My son loves it!! This thing rips and if you knew my kid he is very hard on things! I wanna get one now!

This product that has nothing to do with what the seller says. This is a used item. Full damage, no quality dont 't buy this car 😡

No se mucho de estos carros pero se lo regale a mi pareja y fue el más feliz y el carrizo super rápido y resistente

I got different car of bad quality not tgis car shown in the photo

Bought this car for my son's birthday in February. Now that the weather is nice we finally took it out today for our first drive. Within 2 minutes the car rolled on the grass and broke a body mount. About 15 minutes later my son is swerving back and forth on the pavement and the back lower arm snapped under its own weight. This RC car is a piece of garbage. And of course because my son is 16th birthday was in February (winter) and it's now the first drive is today May 2nd (spring ) the car is now out of warranty. Isn't that just great!!!!

Haven’t used it much or had a chance to beat it up but it seems pretty solid. Oil shocks are impressive. Also nice to have control over the front to rear drive.
