Don't Go Brushless Yet? HB R1607 New Upgrades Field Test

What up, everyone! Welcome to a rainy winter day here in Portugal. Today we are hitting the "Challenge Two" trail to put my latest HB R1607 mods to the ultimate test.
Despite some sketchy ESC switch connections, the performance surprised me! We’ve added weight under the hood and in the rear, and swapped out the shocks to see if we can improve that scale modulation.
In this video:
Testing weight distribution on technical climbs.
New shock performance (Are they too stiff?).
Low gear vs. High gear obstacle management.
The big question: Is a brushless upgrade actually necessary for this rig?

On my channel, you'll see reviews, mud tests, and off-road test drives of various RC cars, specializing in scale performance. If you enjoy videos from Tomley RC, Kevin Talbot, RC Review, RC Driver, Cape Crawlers, Freddy's Toys, or Scale Builders Guild, you'll feel right at home here!

We test and upgrade models including:
Traxxas Trx4m Contender, MN82, MN128, MN168, WPL C24, WPL C24-1, MN78, WPL C54, WPL C14, JJRC 8809, JJRC 8801, SG PINECONE SG1803, LDRC LD18401, HB TOYS R1607/R1601, and more.
