Before anyone assumes i posted a review under the wrong post, let me first mention that this is in fact the 1/12 scale Bezgar HM124 (same as the HBX 901a) with a different buggy style body I modified to fit onto this chassis.Overview : Let me first start by saying this RC car is really incredible with excellent build quality, speed, handling, and performance for under $200. The brushless motor and ecu are very precise and calibrated well with the throttle positioning on the transmitter, and as others have described you can easily dial down the speed for younger / less experienced drivers. The steering servo is decent with enough power to turn the wheels full lock, but unfortunately the servo horn is multi proposed as the servo saver as well which can cause the steering to feel spongy at times, very minor issue and easily upgradable if desired. My RC car came with (3) 7.4v lithium - "ion" batteries which provide approx 20 mins of solid run time before experiencing the voltage cutoff, over an hour total when all 3 batteries are charged and ready to go. Although the supplied batteries are plenty sufficient, I run bigger 7.4v 2S lipo 1800mah batteries instead for additional power and longer run time. I have spent well over 20 hours of hard run time and abuse and absolutely love this RC car, this is most likely the best RC car you can buy for under $200.Durability : The HM124 is built extremely well, I would even say it's "over -built" with strong composite plastics and metal components where it counts. The RC car out of box is a ton of fun and can be bashed and driven hard, and because the important components are strong and allow for performance upgrades down the road if you want more power and speed. For example, the brushless motor is geared conservatively with a 12T pinion (quicker acceleration, lower top speed, better battery life) but and also has preset optional mounting holes for a14T pinion (faster top speed, more torque) which you can upgrade for even faster speeds without the risk of overheating and stressing the engine or ECU. The motor and ECU stay extremely cool with the factory 12T pinion gear, so there's no concerns running a larger 14T pinion gear (or running larger tires) and not having to worry about the extra strain on the motor and ecu.Customer Support : This is by far the most important category when it comes to any hobby grade RC car because parts will eventually break and it's important to know that the company has your best interests in mind and care about your satisfaction by providing supportive customer service that will help you get your RC car back out on the trails. I recently broke a wheel (picture included) and emailed bezgar customer service directly, looking for a link so I could "purchase" a spare set of wheels and they replied very quickly (same day) offering to send me out a pair of replacement wheels "for FREE"! The package arrived via Amazon delivery within a couple days and I was very surprised to see they also included a number of additional parts such as an extra battery, battery strap, pair of wheel hexes, pair of shocks, axle couplers, body clips, and an extra truggy body shell! Again this was all for free when i was fully expecting to pay for the replacement wheels, just an incredible experience with their customer service, FAR BEYOND better than I could have ever expected!Overall I would highly recommend this Bezgar HM124 1/12 scale RC car for anyone that wants a good quality / fast buggy platform that is a lot of fun, fast, handles really well, has strong durability and above and beyond customer support, for under $200. No brainer, I will likely be buying a second one soon!EDIT (2/15/2022): I wanted to share an update that the 2 in 1 ESC receiver did fail on me a couple days after I posted this 5 star review, and unfortunately the ESC was not in stock on Amazon so I had to buy one directly from HBX in China and it just arrived yesterday. I wanted to share this because both bezgar customer service and the seller for this Amazon listing went above and beyond to help try and find me a replacement ESC, and I could not speak more highly about their loyalty to their customers, even when they are out of stock and unable to assist. The new ESC is now installed and synchronized / binded directly to my original transmitter with no issues and my fun little buggy is back on the road once again. I am a hobbyist and have many different RC cars and I can confidently say this HM124 is by far my favorite 1/12 scale ripper!
