I'd love to see some longer Arms added to this truck to make the stance wider and provide some better anti-tip performance. But time will tell what would work here for that. I love the 2997A arms on my 1/16 Hyper go
Several months ago when I came across your videos I thought "man that guy can't land a jump to save his life"...Then I realized you were doing it on purpose as part of your evaluation...LOL!
Yeah I actually started putting more clips of me landing properly in my videos because so many people complained about my driving :-). You're right though I do crash intentionally a lot because most modern vehicles can handle a proper landing from pretty much any height. It's what happens when they don't land properly that matters!
I don't think I have any shocks that fit mine, at least, none that I've found yet, but I did extend track width and switch to 17mm hexes to use thos same tyres you used in this video. I might also try and switch out the ESC as well and probably the servo as well while I'm at it. 🙂
The taller tires and wider stance will give you effectively more suspension travel so that might be all you need. I did find that the hobby wing ESC really woke it up. Let me know how it goes!
Great video, could you provide the measurements of the Tekno shocks? I wasn't able to find the information online. Since the MT410 shocks are quite expensive I would like to search for other compatible shocks...
Very informative, I was curious to see, how this truck handles and endures the bashing. What would you reckon, which one is it worth to spend around 275,- €or$. MJX10208 / TM E5HX ARR / Rlaarlo Carbon Roller or are these trucks not comparable? Cheers
I don't really have much experience with team magic cars so I can't comment on that. The OT is a pretty good truck those smaller than these. I think the 10208 is a decent vehicle though if you're looking for a first car or your only basher you might want to go with something that has a bit more time under its belt as no one really knows how this thing's going to do long-term yet.
Good upgrades. A guy could definitely do better than those Techno shocks but they did work & you had them on hand . The ESC really brought that rig to life. 42mph is plenty for a basher rig. That servo would make a nice addition to almost any 1/10 scale running a stock servo from the big 2.
Yeah I'm sure there are plenty of options for shocks. These did work okay but are certainly not the best choice. I have no doubt someone else will come up with a better solution
Great upgrade video, your vids are always great for seeing how it is to work on the rc👍 Also wanted to see the standing backflips that was shown on the promo video, either on stock or this lol, did you happen to do them accidently?
I tried in the dirt but wasn't successful. I think you need thicker center differential fluid. I'm guessing they had the center differential pretty much locked up in those test videos.
I always replace plastic servo horns with the same ones you do. I also just finished modding my No Cry driver per your instructions. It's perfect now. Thanks for that.
@@stevenblackard2204 It is a good tough little truck though can be hard to handle it full power and sometimes can be a pain to work on. It does represent good value for money though!
@DoRC yah she stripped out the rear differential. The replacement should be in today. She can't wait to have her truck running again. It's crazy that mjx made a 40+ mph truck that my 5 year old can handle. Other than shocks the differential is the first significant break or malfunction and she's been bashing it for months. The entire lineup of mjx hypergo on amazon is extremely impressive. And can't wait to get the 10208.
😢great video as always,I haven't came across any channel do what you do as far as taking every rc you test fully apart to show everyone the quality of the build and just proper maintenance. Keep the videos coming. Other people as well as my self learn something on all your videoos!!!!!
Thanks for giving your expertise on why these RC's break ! I want to buy one and yet cannot see a box unit with a no limit price that won't break from simple bashing !? I would purchase the Arrma Kraton 8s or 6s or Losi DBXL -E2.0 or any other high end model, if you can help to point me in a direction that you get the value you expect for 1G or more ! Thanks for doing what you do as it certainly helps see what works and doesn't without having to learn the hard way and regret you bought into a problem.... Don't get me wrong that I do expect to replace parts that will break, yet that should not be the case from what you show me on the new Lasetnut 1/6 8ight-X and many other models.....
This lil' truck is becoming more and more appealing to me after seeing your videos. And, at approx $250, it's a must have; I think I'm gonna replace my brushless E-Maxx with one of these and maybe an Omni Terminator. Keep the videos coming.
Those wheels are awesome, the way you can change the hex. And I've changed all my cars over 1/14 scale to EC5 and it makes a difference! I always tape my battery leads when I cut each one. I'd also love to win a servo😁
I have beat the ever living snot out of my tekno SCT for years, like 60mph launches off ramps on asphalt and i have never broken a shock so it's impressive that you managed to! They do sell metal caps for them but i never saw a reason to do so. Perhaps it got twisted sideways by the a-arm during a bad hit and the upper rod end didn't have enough angular travel so the cap got wrenched off
Maybe though I'm not going to lie I've already popped a couple of these caps off on the MT-410 2.0. never had a problem on any of the others from tekno So not sure why.
No it's all live. No scripts no voiceovers. The only time I will not have the audio synced with the video is if I'm doing a sped up section like when I did the three tires and I speak over it.
Thanks man for doing these RC upgrades in a way that we can ALL try to accomplish the same thing without wasting money....these things are expensive enough!
The gorilla clear dbl sided tape is real sticky . Super sticky . I still haven’t had any issues with the red m3 kind you used . Great build as always 👍. I ll bet them badlands made a world of difference .
Yeah I'm sure there are other options for double-sided tape. The bulk of my experience has been with VHB and I've had Good luck with it so I've never really tried anything else
The gorilla stuff is so strong, when I needed to remove it, I had to have a heat gun and a big thin spudger and a lot of time and patience. That stuff is nuts on porous surfaces at least.
Dude your channel is great man i actually look forward for new vids to drop! Between the information and testing you do with these trucks it takes the guessing out of buying/upgrading our touys lol . One of a kind brother! I do need a servo btw the motor in my spectrum just hit tha dirt, go figure tho right! Take it easy
Yeah I think it just depends on what you're sensitive to. I'm so used to fast servos that I find I actually have trouble controlling the vehicle when the servo is too slow because it always feels like I'm fighting it.
Hi Do Watch you all the time. When I have issues I look up your videos cuz you're so thorough about everything I can see everything and I don't have to take it apart You have a lot of knowledge I enjoy watching all your videos
Great video as usual and i like what you did with thing! Looks like a beast! i was happy to see that esc you used as I've been considering grabbing one of those combos for quite a while now 😅
Great video. I always learn something from your videos. I’m going to try one of those servo horns you mentioned on a hammer rey to see if it improves handling…🤞
It may or may not. In this case the stock servo horn was physically loose which meant that it would never center the same way twice but if the servo horn you already have doesn't have any problems upgrading it probably isn't going to make much difference. That being said it's a cheap thing to try so go for it :-)
It definitely made it snappier but for general use the stock ESC is pretty decent. The programmability is nice but at least in my experience once you do initial adjustments to an ESC you rarely touch it so I'm not sure how much of an advantage it really is long-term.
@@DoRC I really do. I need to get back on track and get my tutorials underway again. I was doing very well for a long time then sorta gave up for some reason.
@@ragercrepair9301 I definitely understand that. The only reason I'm able to buy new cars is because I sell pretty much everything I buy. I'm not one of those guys that has a huge collection. It's still a money losing proposition but it definitely helps.
Those bent shocks will probably be very common with the amount of flex that chassis has. All that plastic will bend a lot more than metal shocks. Might actually be a good candidate for some 3s Arrma plastic shocks.
I might agree except I popped the caps on the same shocks in their original vehicle which has an aluminum chassis. I think it's just a weakness of the shocks.
Honestly at the price you can get them for on AliExpress I really think it's worth getting. This thing's a little tank and even stock it's a lot of fun.
Best video yet on the MJX Hyper Go 10208. Too much misinformation out there on this model. Personally, at the current price point, I would give this model a miss. Better out there already.
Well hopefully the information I'm giving you is accurate. I'm getting it straight from MJX so it should be. Overall I think this is a pretty good deal. Especially at the $260 AliExpress price it undercuts a lot of the competition and has a lot to offer.
@@DoRC You're doing a great job as always fella. I actually un-followed a channel the other day regarding this car and the misinformation being spread out there.
Nice review, I'm glad to see all hex hardware but I'm still leery of these Chinese brands. You can get a Maverick Quantum2 Flux for $275 at Amain Hobbies vs $250 and waiting for the slow boat from China. The earlier Maverick Quantum trucks had some issues from what I've seen, but the newer versions have been fixed apparently which is why Amain is willing to sell them now. Would love to see you do a review of a Maverick Quantum2 Flux and compare to this MJX.
Could you do a video on differential fluid and effects? I don't have a full understanding of the effects, thickness, and types of l7brication you have used in different builds.
I wouldn't mind doing one but I don't think I'm the best person for it. I am pretty tolerant to different suspension and differential tuning and I don't have a lot of experience doing fine tuning like a racer would. I usually just kind of throw whatever feels right in there and deal with the consequences :-)
They do they just weren't available when I first got the kit and I haven't gotten around to really messing with it since putting it together. It's just been sitting on a shelf until I grab the shocks for this video. I have them ordered now
Maybe. If the ESC is capable of doing data logging you can use that to see what kind of current drawings but the other way would just be to run it hard and then put your hand on the connector. It feels warm or hot that means it's dissipating a lot of energy and probably is undersized.
Yeah the part where you've got one pin done and your soldering the other one on always gives me a little bit of the pucker factor. I've made contact a few times and it's pretty spectacular.
Hi! Great video! Your channel is one of the best IMO. Wish you had much more cars to review and bash ) Well, the sweet part kinda ends here ) To be honest, I'm kinda tekno-boy, sooo I got my s burning, when you say tekno shocks aren't up to the task. You're supposed to have the droop screws so the shocks do not overextend. Maybe that's why the caps blow off )
Yeah it's possible but to be fair I have also had the same thing happen on the MT-410 2.0 with the droop screw set correctly so I think It's a weak point with the shocks.
@@DoRC fair enough ) well yes, plastic shock caps often don't stay on anyway. One of possible reasons, ithink, that droop screws get pushed through the arms. The stiffer the springs - the faster.
@@T0x1c0v3r Yeah it's entirely possible but I will say that I've had lots of other cars with plastic shock caps that didn't fail. It is a little disappointing to have such a fundamental thing be a weak point on such an expensive car.
@@DoRC Tekno's are commonly very good for racing, but when they do a "basher", it's always the same lightweight racing parts. One of the best options is to sell the light parts, when they are still new and get tougher part
@@T0x1c0v3r oh yeah for sure. They're just really weren't very many tougher parts available when I got my MT410 2.0. I pre-ordered it and put it together the first few days it was out. I haven't really messed with it a whole lot since then. Tekno has aluminum shock caps available.
I guess I am going to have to get me one of these. I was worried about the ride hight but after seeing this it's kind of a simple fix! Give me that servo!
Yeah it seems to handle the extra down travel pretty easily though The best way to increase ride height in my opinion is just to go with bigger tires. The 2.8 Badlands seem like a great option.
I'd say it depends on what you already have. If you're buying your first basher or a truck that's going to be your primary basher I would say get the outcast. It's a great truck and parts and upgrades will be more readily available. If you already have some cars and you're just looking to experiment with something new I'd say get this. It's cheaper and pretty fun.
I’m waiting for arrma to drop the new exb’s I can’t keep up with every other company’s releases 😅 this truck looks fun I like the black and red reminds me of exb lol
I'm pretty happy with the design of it. It seems like these companies are finally starting to realize that they don't need to just plaster a bunch of random crap all over the outside of their cars. Definitely looks better
Not going to win the giveaway but that’s ok. These upgrades really woke this RC up. Should have came out the box this way. If so I would already own one.
Eh maybe but I feel like you could just keep changing parts out until you had a completely different truck. To be honest this thing's fun right out of the box. None of these upgrades really needed to be done. That being said the proline tires do make it about an inch wider overall from the stock tires so that's similar to increasing the arm width.
No I decided to leave them alone. I didn't really have any problem with the grease in the front and rear and I knew with the bigger tires and higher CG it was going to want a wheelie anyway so I left the center alone as well.
Well according to my contact at MJX what you saw in the original video and what the other reviewers have is what they are shipping. They're is no V1 or V2 it's just this version.
@DoRC yea i cant afford any new rc at this point in life and im ok with that keeping a roof over my family's head is the most important thing to me right now hit a really rough spot in life and pretty much had to sell most of my rcs off 30 + years of collecting is all but gone i have 4 trucks left that are all up for sale still but gotta do what i gotta. Thanks.
Great video! You have one of the best RC car RUclips channels. It seems that this 1:10 MJX is an excellent platform. Beside one RUclipsr, I think all the others had a great time with the 10208 and really enjoyed bashing it. 😊
Yeah I've got enough packs through it now to be pretty confident that it's a good truck. The changes I made to it put an awful lot of additional stress on everything and it still held up really well. No matter what vehicle you have there's always going to be a subset of people who have a bad experience whether it's luck or they just got a bad example or maybe they just don't like them etc but overall I think people are going to be happy with this one especially at the AliExpress price
@DoRC I bough a MJX 14210 one and a half month ago, I'm still getting into the hobby, finding the enjoyment and I'm having fun for now. If in 6 months I'm still in love with the hobby, I'm almost certain that the MJX 10208 will be the truck I will get. I think I will not go wrong from what I have seen so far. 😊
Thank you very much for doing this video bcuz I've just bought this monster truck 188$ and I was a little spectacular,, but with all your videos I'm sure i did a great buy,,,, thanks for sharing,,,and new Sub here
It doesn't affect the c rating of the battery itself but it can affect the amount of power it can actually deliver so in effect kind of. The connector is a point of resistance and it's kind of like sticking a light bulb in the middle of the wiring. It will turn some of the energy coming from the battery into heat and the smaller the connector the worse that effect will be.
When I had a ec5 connectors I could never get them clicked in. I’ve been using xt90 anti spark on everything for years but with so many brands using ec5/ic5 I keep entertaining a switch. I just hate the sparking. All my esc connectors look brand new because of the anti spark tech, and you’re supposed to replace esc connectors about every 500 cycles with sparking connectors.
Yeah I normally use anti-Spark XT90s and QS8s but the ESC I put in already had an EC5 on it which is the sole reason why I ended up using an EC5 on the battery:)
@@TheflyingkiwiRC yea I’m not doing that. One pair of IC5 is the same cost as FIVE PAIRS of xt90 anti spark or ten pairs of sparking type. Horizon can suck my dick for that. If anything. I’d get a few SC5s to start. I guess IC5 isn’t bad if you but a bulk pack but I’d be pissed the day I was one connector short and had to spend $60 to not get price gouged. Also, with the few times I’ve used IC5, I’ve melted the connector in half of them, so I think the plastic they use is shit. I’ve never melted a amass connector
People on the Team Corally forums told me EC5 is only rated for 60 amps. That didn't quite match up with the figures i saw online but I'm no expert. I doubt Arrma is dumb enough to use them on 6s RCs if they're rated that low. Still, there are two different numbers i see online about their amp limits: 60 and 125 Got any hard data on them ? Thanks.
Unfortunately the specification numbers are all over the place. I have seen as low as 40 amps continuous continuous. Given how they compare and dimensions to the XT90 which I know is rated at 90 amps I suspect it's closer to the 120 amps
Yeah I figured most of the upgrades would be great but I was pretty skeptical about the shocks. I wasn't sure I was going to find a set that I already had which would work properly but they seem good other than the fact that they broke :-)
@@Nunez_rc Not really unfortunately. If they are coming apart the best thing to do would be to either find a substitute that would be stronger or if you could figure out some way to screw the ends in instead of using the ball end so that you give it a washer on top of it to prevent them from coming apart That might work.

I really like that you take the cars apart before driving them. It’s important to know what we’re buying! You rock dude!
Yeah I'd be taking them apart either way so might as well bring you guys along for the ride :-)
i love how you take the cars apart before driving them. It really shows the quality of the car. Thanks man!
Glad you enjoy. This is the stuff I would be doing even if I wasn't recording so I'm happy to share it!
Glad to see this video make it out. Love the detailed analysis on how you upgrade. Thanks man!
Glad you enjoyed and thanks for watching :-)
i like that you gave this car a fair shot, no rc is perfect out the box and this platform seems solid as hell
I agree. I was not easy on this thing and it's pretty rare for a car to make it all the way through my evaluation without breaking at all.
Great upgrades there, the hobbywing esc is my go to for 3s and 4s 1/10 cars, great budget esc, this car looks like a good deal here in the UK 👍🏻
Yeah it's hard to go wrong for the price. I keep a few of them on hand for just this sort of occasion.
I'd love to see some longer Arms added to this truck to make the stance wider and provide some better anti-tip performance. But time will tell what would work here for that. I love the 2997A arms on my 1/16 Hyper go
The Badlands do make it about an inch wider overall which does help but it is pretty heavily counteracted by the increased suspension down travel.

Looks like a blast, love when you can see the dust/dirt rip up through the grass like that at the beginning of the rip session lol looks so epic
Yeah I really like doing the slow-mo stuff!
You were really quick. I was not expecting this upgrade video sooner than a week
Yeah I was really curious to see how it would handle the extra stress so got right to it :-)
This! 😅

i especially enjoy hearing you talking! Your tone is fun, energetic and passionate!

Looks good. Will be interesting to see what the actual actual final version of this ends up looking like, v2 or 2.1 or otherwise.
What you saw in the original video is the final version.

Yeah this would be a massive step up in terms of durability from the emacs. I think it'd be a little bit smaller but a lot more capable
Those wheels are awesome, the way you can change the hex.
And I've changed all my cars over 1/14 scale to EC5 and it makes a difference! I always tape my battery leads when I cut each one.
I'd also love to win a servo😁
I'm surprised that EC5 would make much of a difference at that scale is those ESCs don't usually flow a lot of current but bigger is better.
I have beat the ever living snot out of my tekno SCT for years, like 60mph launches off ramps on asphalt and i have never broken a shock so it's impressive that you managed to! They do sell metal caps for them but i never saw a reason to do so.

Oh, and your videos are awesome. I've learned a few tricks from your channel so please keep on offering those little tidbits :)
Maybe though I'm not going to lie I've already popped a couple of these caps off on the MT-410 2.0. never had a problem on any of the others from tekno So not sure why.
Hoping to see other versions and designs with this size! Great review btw!
Yeah it'll be interesting to see what different styles they come up with using the same chassis.
do you voiceovers or record the sound and video at the same time? i can't quite tell haha
No it's all live. No scripts no voiceovers. The only time I will not have the audio synced with the video is if I'm doing a sped up section like when I did the three tires and I speak over it.
Thanks for doing the modifications to the truck. I may have to seriously consider one. Love the channel.
I'd recommend giving it a try. Even without the upgrades it's a pretty fun truck.
Thanks man for doing these RC upgrades in a way that we can ALL try to accomplish the same thing without wasting money....these things are expensive enough!
Yeah it can be a very expensive hobby especially when you start upgrading

Nice, I've been eyeing off this MJX. Pretty keen now after watching this vid. Loving your work as always. Keep up the great work👍🏼
With the experience I have now on the truck I'd say it's definitely worth picking up especially at the aliexpress.

Did the ESC upgrade make much of a difference? Considering buying but a shame you loose the bluetooth programmability. Cheers
It definitely made it snappier but for general use the stock ESC is pretty decent. The programmability is nice but at least in my experience once you do initial adjustments to an ESC you rarely touch it so I'm not sure how much of an advantage it really is long-term.
@@DoRC Thank you sir, incredibly helpful to get your thoughts on this. Consistently the most comprehensive RC coverage on RUclips 🙂🙏
Ooh, love the new shocks! Haven't seen it rip yet, so hopefully they work as good as they look
Yeah they're not too bad.
Excellent video, great info, not too short or long. Keep on rolling.
Will do!
As another rc channel, I love how thorough your videos are. Great job as always!
Thanks Glad you enjoy!
@@DoRC I really do. I need to get back on track and get my tutorials underway again. I was doing very well for a long time then sorta gave up for some reason.
@ragercrepair9301 It can be difficult to stay motivated especially if things are slow. Consistency is definitely important though.
@@DoRC it truly is. Honestly finds to keep up with new cars is what killed me. Family and 3 kids is expensive these days in itself.
@@ragercrepair9301 I definitely understand that. The only reason I'm able to buy new cars is because I sell pretty much everything I buy. I'm not one of those guys that has a huge collection. It's still a money losing proposition but it definitely helps.
Those bent shocks will probably be very common with the amount of flex that chassis has. All that plastic will bend a lot more than metal shocks. Might actually be a good candidate for some 3s Arrma plastic shocks.
I might agree except I popped the caps on the same shocks in their original vehicle which has an aluminum chassis. I think it's just a weakness of the shocks.
Man the more times i see this truck in action the closer my finger gets to squeezin the trigger on purchasing one.😮😂
Honestly at the price you can get them for on AliExpress I really think it's worth getting. This thing's a little tank and even stock it's a lot of fun.
Thanks for your awesome video, its great to see what you can upgrade to get more out of our hobby!
Glad you enjoyed and thanks for watching :-)
Best video yet on the MJX Hyper Go 10208. Too much misinformation out there on this model. Personally, at the current price point, I would give this model a miss. Better out there already.
Well hopefully the information I'm giving you is accurate. I'm getting it straight from MJX so it should be. Overall I think this is a pretty good deal. Especially at the $260 AliExpress price it undercuts a lot of the competition and has a lot to offer.
@@DoRC You're doing a great job as always fella. I actually un-followed a channel the other day regarding this car and the misinformation being spread out there.
@@rcfools I'm glad you're enjoying!
Nice review, I'm glad to see all hex hardware but I'm still leery of these Chinese brands. You can get a Maverick Quantum2 Flux for $275 at Amain Hobbies vs $250 and waiting for the slow boat from China. The earlier Maverick Quantum trucks had some issues from what I've seen, but the newer versions have been fixed apparently which is why Amain is willing to sell them now. Would love to see you do a review of a Maverick Quantum2 Flux and compare to this MJX.
Stay tuned. I've got the new pre-ordered. I kind of missed the boat on the monster truck so I'm excited to get this one.
Could you do a video on differential fluid and effects? I don't have a full understanding of the effects, thickness, and types of l7brication you have used in different builds.
I wouldn't mind doing one but I don't think I'm the best person for it. I am pretty tolerant to different suspension and differential tuning and I don't have a lot of experience doing fine tuning like a racer would. I usually just kind of throw whatever feels right in there and deal with the consequences :-)
I wouldn’t never consider buying this car- until this video! Hook me up with that sick servo! Lol
It's actually a pretty good in stock form too.
Another killer video brother.... do they make aluminum caps for them shocks might be a good option if they do and you really want them shocks on it
They do they just weren't available when I first got the kit and I haven't gotten around to really messing with it since putting it together. It's just been sitting on a shelf until I grab the shocks for this video. I have them ordered now
Another great video. Always looks forward to your videos. Very informative.
Thanks Glad you enjoy!
Nice upgrade. Maybe V2 can have these applied ;)
Maybe but I will say that even this release version is pretty darn good out of the box.
Is there any way to know if it ever consumed more than 60A and changing connector made any sense?
Maybe. If the ESC is capable of doing data logging you can use that to see what kind of current drawings but the other way would just be to run it hard and then put your hand on the connector. It feels warm or hot that means it's dissipating a lot of energy and probably is undersized.
Great upgrades. Same esc I’m putting into hbx 2995.
It is probably the best budget ESC you can get.
i got the same ESC 10BL120 , but it came with as a motor combo ... my brushed motor sucked
These 10208s don't come brushed I don't think?
@@DoRC sry just meant the same ESC , not the car
Nice little truck. First upgrade video I've seen. 😊
Yeah it's only been out a little while.
Love your videos, great to learn a lot about the hobby and the tech behind it
Glad you enjoy thanks for watching :-)
Cool upgrades. Always get nervous wiring up lipos. 😂 not had an issue so far.
Yeah the part where you've got one pin done and your soldering the other one on always gives me a little bit of the pucker factor. I've made contact a few times and it's pretty spectacular.
@@DoRC QS8’s are the worst. Plus you’ve got 500 in the lipo. 😫😫
Great video dude keep it up...
Thanks glad you enjoyed :-)
Hi! Great video! Your channel is one of the best IMO. Wish you had much more cars to review and bash ) Well, the sweet part kinda ends here ) To be honest, I'm kinda tekno-boy, sooo I got my s burning, when you say tekno shocks aren't up to the task. You're supposed to have the droop screws so the shocks do not overextend. Maybe that's why the caps blow off )
Yeah it's possible but to be fair I have also had the same thing happen on the MT-410 2.0 with the droop screw set correctly so I think It's a weak point with the shocks.
@@DoRC fair enough ) well yes, plastic shock caps often don't stay on anyway. One of possible reasons, ithink, that droop screws get pushed through the arms. The stiffer the springs - the faster.
@@T0x1c0v3r Yeah it's entirely possible but I will say that I've had lots of other cars with plastic shock caps that didn't fail. It is a little disappointing to have such a fundamental thing be a weak point on such an expensive car.
@@DoRC Tekno's are commonly very good for racing, but when they do a "basher", it's always the same lightweight racing parts. One of the best options is to sell the light parts, when they are still new and get tougher part
@@T0x1c0v3r oh yeah for sure. They're just really weren't very many tougher parts available when I got my MT410 2.0. I pre-ordered it and put it together the first few days it was out. I haven't really messed with it a whole lot since then. Tekno has aluminum shock caps available.
I guess I am going to have to get me one of these. I was worried about the ride hight but after seeing this it's kind of a simple fix! Give me that servo!
Yeah it seems to handle the extra down travel pretty easily though The best way to increase ride height in my opinion is just to go with bigger tires. The 2.8 Badlands seem like a great option.
@DoRC great entertaining video btw!
Nice upgrades. Contemplating this or outcast v2.5
I'd say it depends on what you already have. If you're buying your first basher or a truck that's going to be your primary basher I would say get the outcast. It's a great truck and parts and upgrades will be more readily available. If you already have some cars and you're just looking to experiment with something new I'd say get this. It's cheaper and pretty fun.
Nice vid. Really like that Servo! 7:22
Glad you enjoyed the drawing will be soon.
Thank you for the detailed explanations
Thanks for watching!
I’m waiting for arrma to drop the new exb’s I can’t keep up with every other company’s releases 😅 this truck looks fun I like the black and red reminds me of exb lol
I'm pretty happy with the design of it. It seems like these companies are finally starting to realize that they don't need to just plaster a bunch of random crap all over the outside of their cars. Definitely looks better
Maybe some of the bigger manufacturers should take a leaf out of the MJX book! Cool video
This thing's definitely got the goods where it counts!
Not going to win the giveaway but that’s ok. These upgrades really woke this RC up. Should have came out the box this way. If so I would already own one.
The upgrades are cool but I still recommend it even in stock form. Especially at 260 bucks from AliExpress This is a cool car.
Team corally for the win! Mjx stepping things up tho.
TC definitely has been making moves lately!
It seems it needs longer control arms with the longer shocks
Eh maybe but I feel like you could just keep changing parts out until you had a completely different truck. To be honest this thing's fun right out of the box. None of these upgrades really needed to be done. That being said the proline tires do make it about an inch wider overall from the stock tires so that's similar to increasing the arm width.
this is one of the rc moments of all time
Glad you enjoyed :-)
Thanks for the vid, very innovative upgrades! 😁
Thanks Glad you enjoyed!
Did you change the fluid in the diffs?
No I decided to leave them alone. I didn't really have any problem with the grease in the front and rear and I knew with the bigger tires and higher CG it was going to want a wheelie anyway so I left the center alone as well.
i been waiting on that truck i was pumped when it dropped then all the v1 v2 stuff so ill wait lol thanks for the great vid and awesome chance
Well according to my contact at MJX what you saw in the original video and what the other reviewers have is what they are shipping. They're is no V1 or V2 it's just this version.
@DoRC yea i cant afford any new rc at this point in life and im ok with that keeping a roof over my family's head is the most important thing to me right now hit a really rough spot in life and pretty much had to sell most of my rcs off 30 + years of collecting is all but gone i have 4 trucks left that are all up for sale still but gotta do what i gotta. Thanks.
keep up the good content man love watching your vids have a good 4th of july
Thanks you too!
It's looking the way it should comes. Good job bud.
It's actually pretty good out of the box but these upgrades did definitely change how it handles!
@@DoRC I'm glad the rear cvds held in an not pop out. Good job again bud.
What are the little adjustable small pliers you use in a lot of your videos?
Knipex pliers wrench. Not cheap but absolutely worth it!
Great video! You have one of the best RC car RUclips channels. It seems that this 1:10 MJX is an excellent platform. Beside one RUclipsr, I think all the others had a great time with the 10208 and really enjoyed bashing it. 😊
Yeah I've got enough packs through it now to be pretty confident that it's a good truck. The changes I made to it put an awful lot of additional stress on everything and it still held up really well.
No matter what vehicle you have there's always going to be a subset of people who have a bad experience whether it's luck or they just got a bad example or maybe they just don't like them etc but overall I think people are going to be happy with this one especially at the AliExpress price
@DoRC I bough a MJX 14210 one and a half month ago, I'm still getting into the hobby, finding the enjoyment and I'm having fun for now. If in 6 months I'm still in love with the hobby, I'm almost certain that the MJX 10208 will be the truck I will get. I think I will not go wrong from what I have seen so far. 😊
@lsismeiro Yeah I agree. It's certainly not without its flaws but overall seems to be a good platform.
Love the info you provide on this channel
Yeah I would be doing all this stuff on my own anyway so I might as well share it :-)
Awesome tire choice. Looks way better
Yeah definitely has better air control as well. Don't get me wrong the stock tires are very good but these do feel better especially for stunts.
Thank you very much for doing this video bcuz I've just bought this monster truck 188$ and I was a little spectacular,, but with all your videos I'm sure i did a great buy,,,, thanks for sharing,,,and new Sub here
Glad you enjoyed!
Did you run it with the punch all the way up and the timing up on the ESC
You mean the original ESC or the one in the video?
@@DoRC new one
@@nickhathaway4617 punch was set to full but I didn't mess with the timing
I wonder what arrma 6s shocks would fit it. Typhon maybe
I took a look at a couple I had on hand and they were too long.
@@DoRC the vorteks has the same issue. The shocks are just odd enough of a length
Thanks for another great video and build
You're welcome thanks for watching!
Does the xt60 plug effect the C rating on the battery?
It doesn't affect the c rating of the battery itself but it can affect the amount of power it can actually deliver so in effect kind of. The connector is a point of resistance and it's kind of like sticking a light bulb in the middle of the wiring. It will turn some of the energy coming from the battery into heat and the smaller the connector the worse that effect will be.
Thanks for the contest!
Thanks for entering :-)
epic video, youre very well spoken and easy to watch.
Thanks Glad you enjoyed :-)
Some nice upgrades mate 😊
Yeah it's really decent stock but this definitely wakes it up!
When I had a ec5 connectors I could never get them clicked in. I’ve been using xt90 anti spark on everything for years but with so many brands using ec5/ic5 I keep entertaining a switch. I just hate the sparking. All my esc connectors look brand new because of the anti spark tech, and you’re supposed to replace esc connectors about every 500 cycles with sparking connectors.
Yeah I normally use anti-Spark XT90s and QS8s but the ESC I put in already had an EC5 on it which is the sole reason why I ended up using an EC5 on the battery:)
Use an IC5 connector instead. Super easy to solder, no clicking on required 😂
@@TheflyingkiwiRC yea I’m not doing that. One pair of IC5 is the same cost as FIVE PAIRS of xt90 anti spark or ten pairs of sparking type. Horizon can suck my dick for that. If anything. I’d get a few SC5s to start. I guess IC5 isn’t bad if you but a bulk pack but I’d be pissed the day I was one connector short and had to spend $60 to not get price gouged. Also, with the few times I’ve used IC5, I’ve melted the connector in half of them, so I think the plastic they use is shit. I’ve never melted a amass connector
People on the Team Corally forums told me EC5 is only rated for 60 amps.
That didn't quite match up with the figures i saw online but I'm no expert.
I doubt Arrma is dumb enough to use them on 6s RCs if they're rated that low.
Still, there are two different numbers i see online about their amp limits: 60 and 125
Got any hard data on them ? Thanks.
Unfortunately the specification numbers are all over the place. I have seen as low as 40 amps continuous continuous. Given how they compare and dimensions to the XT90 which I know is rated at 90 amps I suspect it's closer to the 120 amps
Gonna do this to mine for sure when I get it!
It's definitely a fun upgrade!
Awesome upgrade tips!
Glad you enjoyed and thanks for watching :-)
Awesome mod, love the detail and knowledge
Glad you enjoyed and thanks for watching :-)
Awesome upgrades 👍
Thanks :-)
Running gtr shocks and badlands on my stampede 4x4 vxl great setup
Yeah I really like these Badlands. I've put them on a lot of different vehicles and I don't think I've ever been disappointed in them.
That came out better than I expected
Yeah I figured most of the upgrades would be great but I was pretty skeptical about the shocks. I wasn't sure I was going to find a set that I already had which would work properly but they seem good other than the fact that they broke :-)
@@DoRC I’m actually modding a Losi mini non prep to be a dirt racer. Any advice to keep the ball ends clipped in?
@@Nunez_rc Not really unfortunately. If they are coming apart the best thing to do would be to either find a substitute that would be stronger or if you could figure out some way to screw the ends in instead of using the ball end so that you give it a washer on top of it to prevent them from coming apart That might work.
