SG 1602/1601 and HBX 16889 Review - an excellenT budget brushless 1/16 truck

The SG 1602 Brushless RC truck is a 1/16 scale 4wd off road truck/buggy (truggy) that has a powerful and efficient brushless motor/esc system. Note, this appears identical to the HBX 16889 and shares the same parts. It is available from Banggood for less than $90 and as little as $70. I've had one of these for about 2 months now and for the times that my son lets me drive it I've had quite a few runs to get a good feel of performance and durability. My full review is below.

What's in the box?
Actually this is pretty well equipped:
  • The Truck (4wd brushless 1/16 scale)
  • 2.4GHz remote
  • 2s 1300mah li-ion battery
  • USB charger
  • LED Headlight system (for user to install)
  • Wheelie bar (for user to install)
In order to get this running you'll need 4 x AA batteries for the transmitter. These 2.4GHz transmitter are extremely efficient so you'll get good battery life even with cheap alkaline batteries. As mentioned above there is a nice set of headlights and wheelie bar included and these are very simple to install with well laid out instructions.

LED headlight integrate nicely in the bumper and are easy to install

LED headlight plug into a spare port on the receiver/ESC and have a power regulator. Spares are listed on Banggood for $3
Picture
The wheelie bar is mounted solidly to the frame and is absolutely necessary given the power. Spares on Banggood for $6
