RC Cars Venum X17 1:8 Brushless

This is my second review, because I have had two occasions to ask for support from the manufacturer through their representative here in the United States. Again, I sent an email on a Sunday, asking for advice about a problem, and I received a phone call, within an hour, stating how she would try to help me and inviting me to send pictures of my problem the same evening. She told me what to expect, the next day from the manufacturer, and I know they will make me happy just as they did the first time. The racing car is, by the way, exceeding my expectations for fun and performance. Congratulations, again, to the excellent support system, seven days a week, that Hosim provides their customers. It, literally, exceeds what we expect from domestic manufacturers here in the US. I encourage everyone reading this to try any of their vehicles, because all of them will be well supported with any questions or concerns that could come up. -- Rob G. in Virginia

I own 2 Hosim RC X07 & X17. This is the fastest, smoothest, best handling, heaviest, and beastiest. Once you start it, you can tell this RC is unlike others. It's solid, with all metallic shock, suspension & drivetrain to maintain durability. These are the prominent features. What you don't see is the customer service. In the last few weeks, I've come to know personally, mainly due to my fault. As you watch the short video, you will know I love speed, which comes with crashing. I have experienced a shortage of parts as others; however, Hosin has been able to ship me all the needed parts, including the replacement of a new X17 under warranty. This RC is for more experienced racers, so I suggest being ready to perform regular maintenance. I've learned much from X07 to X17, and if I were too chose, which of the two, I chose X17 for its speed and handling. Some upgrades I would suggest are bigger tires, extra batteries, an 80-watt multi-charger, RC travel bags, and spare tools and parts. You'll need it to keep the fun going.

I have few other Hosim RCs and, after I fixed the auto brake issue with a different esc, I really like them. They durable and fast. With 1/8 scale I just bought the auto braking issue has been resolved. Its a great platform to mod also. The shipping only took 3 days.

I have two other Hosim vehicles. I upgraded them for fun. They are good quality and great bashers. I bought the Hosim X-17 because I wanted a bigger basher with great quality. When I took the body off to see what I could upgrade... I found... everything is metal already. This car is built right out of the box. If you want a good quality car right out of the box, this is it. I have a few more expensive brand RCs, but they all need to be upgraded to be great cars. That makes them even more expensive. So much so, I don't have nearly as much fun with them as I do with Hosim. With these, I can bash them really hard. The customer service is awesome. If I do break something, I just call them, and they replace the parts right away. I highly recommend Hosim. They are great. (And no, I don't work for them, or get paid for good reviews, I just really like them.)

This car is fast heavy duty it rides like a champ but it comes from China so you have to check the gears when you get this car open up your gearboxes and fill it with the hundred thousand watt gear oil because when it travels across the ocean in there in a cargo plane it evaporates the oil when it comes to USA it sits in the storage place to tell you buy it you get it it runs about four times until it will go out you'll ruin your gear recommend open it when you get it put some gear fluid in there and then you can run it for 6 months no problem and you have no problems with it but when you get this car make sure you put gear oil in it you got to you just have to I open both of them I bought two cars I'm going to buy another car first one is down to buy parts for this car I went to the same person Holman Holman whatever the company was cuz I couldn't find it on Amazon well I did find him on Amazon but it was a month too late but I'm still going to purchase the parts for this vehicle I love this car too 80 miles an hour it's a champ his car is a bad car
