In this riveting episode from Kevin Talbot, the team dives headfirst into the world of RC cars, pitting the FTX, HBI, Maverick, and Hobao models against each other in a thrilling showdown. With a keen eye for detail, they dissect every aspect of these budget-friendly bashers, from the plastic chassis to the brushless motors, leaving no bolt unturned. The FTX car's lackluster steering and sluggish power delivery set the stage for a nail-biting competition.
As the testing unfolds, the HBI Bullet emerges as a potential speed demon, albeit with concerns about its durability lingering in the air. Meanwhile, the Maverick Quantum Flux 2 impresses with its power and overall quality, hinting at a formidable contender in the lineup. The Hobao car steals the spotlight with its superior build quality, center differential, and potent brushless motor, showcasing a level of craftsmanship that sets it apart from the pack.
Through adrenaline-pumping speed runs, grueling durability tests, and challenging off-road scenarios, the team pushes these RC cars to their limits, uncovering strengths and weaknesses along the way. Despite some hiccups, such as a broken hub on the HBI Bullet, the Hobao car shines as a frontrunner, promising speed and reliability in equal measure. With plans to take the cars to a skate park for the ultimate showdown, the stage is set for a thrilling conclusion to determine the ultimate budget-friendly basher in this fierce competition.
