      Kev on the mini monster trucks like the Granite Grom or Hyper go, shoe goo a ping pong ball on the roof of the body in the middle a quarter inch behind the windshield, It will always land on it's feet. You can also remove it by ripping it off. The shoe goo is not permanent if you don't sand the body before gluing the ping pong ball. Or you can make it permanent by sanding the body to rouging it up before gluing the ping pong ball on. I do it to all my mini trucks, Won't work on the mini street cars or buggies. Only the mini off-road trucks. Its like an automatic hand of God, lol.

    this is one of the best RC cars i have ever bought. I recently got the 1/18 Grom Typhon and it too is fantastic. These 1/18th arrma trucks are Fantastic.

    A bit expensive, but I am certain it will be durable.
    I just got back into land based RCs. Arrma has been my introduction to modern stuff.
    So far both my Big Rock and Senton have been a blast. I love taking these things to the park.
    A nice custom hard bodied 1/10th scale crawler is probably my next project.

    I really love my Grom, rips a skatepark pretty well and threw some paddle tires on from the HyperGo H14 and did pretty well on the beach too. VERY worth the $130 it is in the US. I was pretty disappointed with the HyperGo, the ESC throttle lag is very annoying and I'm surprised noone mentions it in their reviews

      in this video the model is MJX 16208, it costs much less than GROM, and if you get on sale, it’s almost free... there are never such discounts on arrma) the difference in motors (speeds) is obvious. and in this MXJ model that there is no problem with esc. excellent throttle response. before purchasing, look at reviews or read reviews and do not mislead people) peace

    • @Boogie_the_cat

      ​@@backdada"almost free"
      Really? Because I've never seen even a 50% discount on Banggood, and 50% off would still be $38. I don't know what you call "almost free" but $38 is not almost free.
      MJX make trash cars that are fast but fall apart, and all the spare parts are powder metal that breaks as quick as the stock parts.
      I've owned and returned 3 of my 4 MJX RCs.
      1: spur stripped
      2: rear diff stripped
      3: screws falling out of steering linkage
      And none of them drove straight.

    I got two Groms last week for my 4yo lad and I. I think they're brilliant little things and ideal for kiddos. They're small and slow enough that they won't do any major damage to anyone or anything. Obviously never going to be like a 1/10th or bigger but I think there's definitely a fun factor they bring because they are so small. Plus it means you can just rip around in the garden or around the house too!

      I was just about to say that: you can run em just about anywhere with not a lot of space. the thing about the hyper go? you can turn down the accelerator to "normal" speed and when they get better, crank in up to loony speed.

      Perfect for the little kids. my daughter is 4 and carrying around her 1/10 granite and the radio is a bit of a struggle. I'll probably get two of these for her and my son who is 2. Won't break when they crash, aren't too fast, and cheap enough that they won't have to share.

    This was a entertaining video. With the release of Grom and Gorgon at more reasonable prices I think they are trying to compete with the cars like the Hyper Go and other brands. In the U.S. this passed weekend my local Hobbytown sold the Grom for $110. Horizon was not selling them on their website. They were supposedly trying to support the local hobby stores. The advantage of the small r/c cars is their size. You can put everything in a backpack and go to the spot you like to run. This was another excellent video.

    Couldnt decide which one i wanted, today i got the granite. Im glad i did, i was jumping it at a small dirt mx track and driving it on pavement, its crazy fun and really durable. I dont think the other groms could do exactly what the granite did but im sure theyre good for other things. I had so much fun with it and only ran the battery dead 3 times. Im super impressed with the speed and that it looses traction on dry pavement, way more fun than a slow car that cant loose traction. Especially on dirt. Unbelievable car, only complaint is the motor getting really hot, i cant even hold my hand on the underside of the chassis under the motor it was so hot. Ill have go figure something out but thats it so far

    So, I think I'd be better off getting a 4x4 1/8 scale truck.
    I am 72 and haven't had any RC since I built my FOX over 26 years ago.
    No skate parks around me, just baseball diamonds with sand and clay, and some dirt roads and lots of golf courses! I live on one.
    Is Arrma a best choice?
    Can you make a suggestion for me, nothing more than 6s!

    Surfers and skaters used to call little kids/up and comers "grommets" and it shortens nicely to "grom" and is fun to describe things that are SMOL

    I've just bought my first car, decided to go with the granite and it's been fun ripping it through the snow in Alaska. I want the traxxas xmax.. that's a big boy a bit pricey though.

    Great little car to start off someone's Christmas! Maybe do a video on budget friendly sub £200ish cars for your little ones? I'd like to see a review on the Ftx Carnage 2.0 as I'm looking at this for my son's first hobby grade 💯👌🏻

    I have around 300 rc models but I don't have a raminator!! That's the one I don't have!
    That's Arma is a bit expensive for a brushed version. I'm sure it's good quality but come on!! Brushed! What?

    "Grom stems from the word grommet, a term generally used to denote the lowest ranking members of a naval ship. This term was then borrowed by the Australian surf community to describe young, skilled surfers, employed as both a term of respect and a way to poke a little fun at the younger guys and girls in the water."

    Grom means “little one” from what I’ve heard 😎 I love mine. I zoom it around my basement and on the little track I made. It’s just so much fun and durable as heck! I built a miniature obstacle course in the basement and it fell to the concrete floor from about 2-3 feet high more times than I’d like to admit and nothing has broken on it yet! I personally feel it was worth every penny of the $129 price tag I paid. I just don’t understand why some people wanna hate on the Grom. Just enjoy it for what it is. It’s a small 4x4 RC car with a brushed motor and a 2s Lipo that goes 20mph. That’s all so just enjoy it. It’s not supposed to be a speed demon capable of 40-50mph speeds. Enjoy the hobby people, have fun, and stop complaining about what something isn’t. Great video as always, Kevin. 🤘🏼

      And still, that MJX is nearly half the price and does reach 40mph on 3S. Yes, the video is wrong. Check any other video on the MJX 16208 and it's 40mph or 65kmh.

      @@janklaassen6404 that’s cool. But I still prefer the Grom. Just my personal preference. I have plenty of regular RC cars 1/10 scale and bigger that go plenty fast. I’m personally not interested in any of the off brand RC cars like MJX. There’s zero parts support from any local hobby shops by me. And my local hobbytown has never even heard of MJX, or WLToys, or Haiboxing, etc. And they break so easy. My neighbor has two hyper gos for his boys. They aren’t even hard on them. But every time they drive them, something breaks. And they’re always waiting for up to a week or more for parts in the mail. The hobby isn’t fun when you have cars that are on your workbench more than you’re driving them. Again just my opinion. There’s plenty of people who like the hyper gos and if that’s what makes them happy that’s all that matters.

    • @OGRCFanatic
      @OGRCFanatic Год назад +1

      @@janklaassen6404 I’m also curious where you shop online? Because the cheapest I’ve seen the MJX 16208 anywhere is $110 from TEMU. That’s only $19 less, and nowhere near “half the price” of the Grom as you’re claiming. In fact, I’ve not seen any of the MJX hyper gos for nearly half the price of the Grom. They’re either all just as expensive, and in some cases, much more expensive. And even from TEMU at $110, by the time you add shipping and handling and taxes, it’s nearly the same price as walking into a hobby shop to buy the Grom. If you’re finding the MJX 16208 somewhere for $70-$80 please tell me where because at that price even I might buy one.

      @@OGRCFanatic I think we just value aspects of an rc car differently. I actually prefer not to visit physical stores and really enjoy the low prices. As for durability, that's hard to determine. There are basher video's in skateparks that they survive. And I really enjoy the high top speed. It looks crazy for such a small car. I like to race on the street among cyclists. They all think it's an impressive toy. I get lots of smiles and positive remarks. It if you like Arrma, like to visit local stores, like instant parts, then sure. Do your thing. It's about what you like. If you enjoy your purchase, then that's all that matters.
