In UK stock ready to ship, the HBX 16889A Pro is widely regarded as one of the best value brushless 1:16 bashers available today, combining serious speed, impressive durability and true hobby-grade upgradeability in a compact, portable package. Sharing its platform with the popular FTX Tracer, the Pro version takes things much further with a significantly upgraded drivetrain and suspension setup designed to handle harder driving and bigger power.
Unlike cheaper toy-grade RC cars, the 16889A Pro features a full metal transmission system, including metal differentials, metal spur gear, metal pinion gear and metal CVD driveshafts, giving it the strength needed for repeated jumps, rough terrain and high-speed bashing.
Power comes from a 2840 3800KV brushless motor paired with a 25A waterproof ESC, delivering explosive acceleration and speeds of up to 48 km/h on the included 2S LiPo battery. Combined with the lightweight chassis and aggressive off-road tyres, the result is a truck that feels incredibly fast for its size while remaining stable and controllable.
The truck also features fully adjustable oil-filled alloy shocks, independent suspension and multiple mounting positions, allowing you to fine tune the handling for different surfaces. Whether you're driving on grass, dirt, gravel or skateparks, the 16889A Pro is built to take punishment.
Despite its compact size, this is a fully serviceable hobby-grade platform with strong aftermarket support and upgrade potential. Many components can be upgraded further with alloy parts if desired.
The model comes fully assembled and ready to run, requiring only 2 × AA batteries for the transmitter.
