While you're saving money by buying Chinese products that came about in many cases from the "borrowing" of design and technology and intellectual property, the long term harm is that it stymies R and D by companies that actually try to innovate. Its unfair and we consumers carry some responsibility to let our money do that talking for us
@@anthonyng8800 I agree in some cases… however, this design is the Casey Currie U4, so Losi did no R&D for that. And other than the body, this is nothing like the hammer Rey 👍
I will never buy another product from Banggood they was a disgrace when I ordered something. The item was never delivered and they kept me going round a loop with emails trying to get my item or a refund. Had to get PayPal on the case. I only got my money back cos PayPal said out of goodwill for being with them so long they would refund me on this occasion. They are probably fine if your item turns up, but I will never use them ever again.
I've had this car for a while now and I really like it. Things I modded: added oil in chocks, greased front and back gearbox, changed rear chocks, changed servo, added a gyro. The mod that really opened it up for me was the gyro. I couldn't handle it without it on 3S.
I bought the truck version. Quality is definitely a step up from wl toys. You really should take them apart and grease the diff (i used lithium). It does cog a little bit but it only seems to be a major issue in reverse. I noticed that the spur on mine is a bit chewed after only 2 runs- still perfectly functional though. the v2 have cvds instead of dogbones at the rear. Overall really good value for money!
I think if they did away with the solid center shaft for a floating dog bone they would be even tougher. Have less worries about nose dives bending the center shaft or chassis flex pushing the diffs an shaft gears into eachother so they grind. I did the floating center dog bone swap on my 144 after a big hit that bent the center shaft , had plenty of big hits similar after the swap and no damage to the centre bone has occurred . That little bit of wiggle room makes all the difference to cost of repairs and won't ruin your fun if it takes a hit within the first 5 mins of play. Plus it will still drive if the chassis bends a little bit.
It's fine... you told me that whilst we walked together eating ice cream haha. Spares are pretty accessible on Aliexpress... shipping is way quicker than it used to be. However, you can't pop down your local hobby shop for spares
MJX is killing it lately. They seem like such a good value. My only two hopes is that they get a bit creative and stop making mini versions of all the popular cars, and that they start making some big stuff. 1/10, 1/6, 1/7 , and 1/5 cars.
Agreed, I bought a 1/16 scale to get into the hobby and now I want a 1/10 scale for sure. The 1/16 is nice because they are small and tough but they bounce around pretty badly on anything that isnt pavement smooth. I can't even drive it on gravel, it bounces around so badly it just spins out constantly. I would love to have a 1/10 or bigger from them. I also agree about not copying the "Real" stuff. Just use what you can learn from the market and build something unique that is still cross compatible with some of the more well established companies or at least start making some relationships with some aftermarket parts companies to make upgrades
Nice, fun review. Really good little truck. I picked up one of these from a reseller on Amazon in July. Shipped out of China, so it wasn't a fast delivery, but worth the wait.
Bought one a month or so ago, on the hard wheels it's the only RC ive ever seen that'll (on tarmac) flip in a straight line, it starts to fish tail then it digs in and rolls, on 3s I found it near uncontrollable. But then I got an FS-GT5 transmitter with gyro stabilised receiver and it's made this thing an absolute beast, sand, gravel, anything. Important to fit the harder springs too, the blacks ones look nice but it'll slap the chassis from anything more than a than 6 inch drop.
I have the HYPER GO H16PL, it can actually do 3s, at least according to its amazon description, but yeah, a ripper for sure, nearly gone through one set of tires on the first go, and that was on 2s.
My shocks blew out very easily. I replaced them with the ones off my mt14. Much much better, especially the handling. Also, I can rebuild them as well now.
ese o el modelo 14210? cual dirias que es mas manejable o mejor? ya se que tienen misma construccion pero todo el mundo dicen que se manejan diferente... con cual te quedabas tu? y por el rango de precio de 150 euros? cual elegirías tu para salir con tus amigos a circuitos tanto de asfalto como de tierra ?
I could use a new basher. Im not entirely over the ones i have, but this would make a nice addition to the collection. Might i add, at 60 + kilometres an hour, it rips more than my others ones oit if the box! Sweet as.
There arent many small cars out there that id soend my hard earned in, but this i might do. It definitely has shades of the Hammer Rey, but the suspension is obviously different. Great little truck, and a great test on it. 😎🤘🏻
I can't wait until they do a larger scale basher. Use the best platform that they have out now ramp it up and make it bigger and make it like a Jeep body like the one year reviewing now. I think that'd be awesome.😊
Nice work as always Phil. Your comment about favourite videos got me thinking. I'm not sure it's always about the car in the vid. Could be a number of things. Sometimes, for me at least, it's the chilled tone of things when you are trail trucking. Maybe I'm overthinking.
All MJX with metal chassis have the better gears installed! This could calm down at 3s. They are compatible with all MJX (except the main gear & pinion). Very nice review!
In order for those 2 things to come together more certainly, is the reason why we have rc review youtubers (or at least they are there to see the Definite stuff on the rc's more in person, that wouldnt be open to bias or intetpretation)
I'm going to use my "poam box" to add to my crawler course which my first crawler will arrive in, soon! Woop! MJX is killing it too. Making the big boys look bad. I'd honestly rather have this than my $250 Losi. At least this comes with extra parts, a bumper, and takes some abuse.
great review and i hope that you had a nice and turbulence free journey back home. 22 hour delay in pearson? yep..that's typical sometimes for my home airport. (i'm about an hour away from there). it could have possibly been delayed due to the amount of aircraft flying in for the air show going on this weekend in the Toronto area. get some rest after your trip and we'll see you in the next one! cheers Phil. take care for now.
Really like MJX, I have a few of them. Thinking of getting one of these buggys, on a side note can you tell me how you attatched the rear of the Phat body on to the WLtoys 144001 / 144017 buggys on you brushless conversions ?
Can it handle deeper grass like what was next to the skate park? That's pretty typical length grass for most parks and in most backyards. I'd be curious to see how well cars do on grass like that. Not as the main focus but I think most people might want to know if a truck would work in their own lawn.
Not with the small/hard wheel/tyre and on the bigger/softer wheel/tyre it'll wheelie hard on grass, the chassis sits nearly an inch closer to the ground than the little monster truck MJXs so it tends to get stuck in long grass, it's more like an offroad "mini infraction" tbh (same 1/14 platform). It rips on sand and gravel, but it's hard to keep in a straight line without a gyro.
Yeah, this sits a little low for the longer grass. I think there Truggy version would be better m, or like mentioned above, one of their monster trucks
Awesome video. nice lil rig. Main question is....What camera are you using attached to it for the FPV rolling video? Nice looking quality. I've been looking for something decent to add to my RocHobby Fire Horse for trail runs. Have you done any upgrades to your FH? Thanks for your content....✌✌
Awesome vid, thanks Tomley. I just got the MJX 14301 you featured at the start of the vid and I'm having a lot of fun with it after being out of the RC scene for a long time. Can you tell us the model number of this guy? Can't quite see it at 2:01 when you show the manual.
Easy, but shortly it became my new passion. I watch your videos for few days and I like it. For a beginner in RC Cars what cars do you recommend me Phill ?
arrived this week and box is labelled as the v2 verasion, no idea what the differences are though ,It's great 1/14th truck tho , need to find some sand !@@TomleyRC

Sir Phil Tomley the III from Compton England. Put the optional stiffer springs for the skate park or jumping in general. Great video, your honor.
Wow $500 on AliExpress!? That's arrma blx or traxxas vxl prices...

They need a 1/10 scale like this
I'd take this over a 1/8. It has a great time 90% of the things around my city.
Search for "1/10 Hammer Rey U4". A nearly $500 USD bigger twin brother.
Not Worth, there exist already overpriced Hammer U4 REY.
The Hammer Rey is 1/7 and it’s on sale now… almost half price last I saw
@@MonsterPartsRcHammer Rey is not 1/7th scale, it’s 1/10th scale.
Thanks....going to pull the trigger on this truck as a starter into my newfound hobby into RC cars!
How did that go?
Tap the power button 5 times super speed mode

Yeah, that may help
Have you got abit more info on the floating centre dog bone mod?
I love you, and your videos. 😉 The biggest question, for all of these lower cost models, is how is the parts support?
It's fine... you told me that whilst we walked together eating ice cream haha.
Spares are pretty accessible on Aliexpress... shipping is way quicker than it used to be. However, you can't pop down your local hobby shop for spares
The main issue for me is that you can’t go to a more established company for upgrades so you need the stock parts to be durable all around.
@@TomleyRCAliExpress currently only taking a week on choice items...and waiting for spares is why we have multiple vehicles as backup fun 👍😀

do their vehicles come with proportional steering and throttle?@@beenstork

A gyro can certainly make a huge difference. Thanks for the tip with the springs 👍
Fantastic bashing and review, Phil! 😃
Beautiful little truck indeed!!!
Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
Thanks mate. It’s a fun buggy!
How Good this is reit
What a great little truck. My Christmas list is getting longer. It appears to be a great performer and looks good. Thanks for a great review.
My Christmas list usually starts around February 😆
Love the looks and 2 tire options
I never even heard of MJX hyper go RC cars until I started watching your vids. And I’ll be honest, I’m sold. I just can’t decide which one to buy. 😂
I have the HYPER GO H16PL, it can actually do 3s, at least according to its amazon description, but yeah, a ripper for sure, nearly gone through one set of tires on the first go, and that was on 2s.
Nice model, good performer.
What kind of battery are u using. Want one ❤❤❤
My shocks blew out very easily. I replaced them with the ones off my mt14. Much much better, especially the handling. Also, I can rebuild them as well now.
Just ordered me one, keep using this vid as reference thanks for reviewing the less expensive stuff
It's a great little car. Just a little shock tuning and it will be even better
looks like a mini losi hammer rey
The most complete presentation for this rc car!well done mate!( the music background is sick👍💪!!)
ese o el modelo 14210? cual dirias que es mas manejable o mejor? ya se que tienen misma construccion pero todo el mundo dicen que se manejan diferente... con cual te quedabas tu? y por el rango de precio de 150 euros? cual elegirías tu para salir con tus amigos a circuitos tanto de asfalto como de tierra ?
I want one it’s look so good for the money only just started with an interest in RC cars this looks a bundle of fun
I could use a new basher. Im not entirely over the ones i have, but this would make a nice addition to the collection. Might i add, at 60 + kilometres an hour, it rips more than my others ones oit if the box! Sweet as.
With the proper paddles that would be a fun beach buggy!!
Cars like this are a brilliant backup car to keep in your bag to keep the fun going after you bust up your big car on the first jump 😂
Yes, agree… so easy to chuck in the car
The CVD’s in the rear are preferable to the dog bones that tend to fall out.
Yes... 👌
Nice to see that
On the v2 has a different one
Looks a wicked little truck
it is 👌
Hi, which would you recomend? This or the wltoys 124008, I come from an hbx protector, I want to remplace that oldie
Mini losi hammer rey lmao 😂😂😂
Great review! Would this handle a 4S 1500mah lipo with throttle output on transmitter set to 70% or would it definitely cook the motor/ESC
an air -basher !! you need a plane dude !
I'm in Baltimore MD. USA, I get up early for this!!! You are the S#it Tommy Boy!!!! Keep ROCKIN Cuzzo 😎💪👍👍
💯
"I'll recycle it & use it for something else"...
Like storing more plastic in it...... then throwing it in the landfill.! 😉 😉
Haha, good idea!
There arent many small cars out there that id soend my hard earned in, but this i might do. It definitely has shades of the Hammer Rey, but the suspension is obviously different. Great little truck, and a great test on it. 😎🤘🏻
Great footage when you run them , love this truck Thank you PHIL , Your 👍
Mjx Hyper Go‘s rock. Have already 14301, 14302, 16208 and have ordered yesterday also the 14209 and 14210 👍🏻😃
Haha..
Which is your favourite MJX so far?
@@luvadealme they are all different. 301/302 for street, 208 for jumping 209/210 for everything.
The old polystyrene box makes a great little cool box👍
And could you give us the wheelbase measurements in the future ,length and width so we can match them up with other bodies out there👍
I can't wait until they do a larger scale basher. Use the best platform that they have out now ramp it up and make it bigger and make it like a Jeep body like the one year reviewing now. I think that'd be awesome.😊
I have one of the hyper go trucks, is the difference the longer driveshafts, arms and suspension? is it possible to get the parts to convert? thanks
Is this better at handling or the 14210 better?
Is there a better charger then the iriginal one ?
Excellent now do i order this for me or the kids for Christmas 😂
Haha.. they’ll love it
I just bought this very nice car. But all of mine 3s lipos are to big. Cant find any small one that fit. Do you a brand that fits? Thanks.
Been waiting for this one
The wait is over :)
I had one a month ago and it was awesome and with Dumbo RS it gets even better
Mine just survived the weekend at FAMJAM, have to be happy whith that 😂
Nice!
Nice work as always Phil. Your comment about favourite videos got me thinking. I'm not sure it's always about the car in the vid. Could be a number of things. Sometimes, for me at least, it's the chilled tone of things when you are trail trucking. Maybe I'm overthinking.
Yes, I think there is always more to a popular video than just the topic/product in question
All MJX with metal chassis have the better gears installed! This could calm down at 3s. They are compatible with all MJX (except the main gear & pinion). Very nice review!
First thought when I saw the thumbnail was losi hammer rey. Pretty much a miniature copy.
Haha… yeah, pretty much
Durability & appeal just like their Bugs 3 . A winner .
100%
Nice bit of kit, the body style reminds me of a landy 110 pickup....
Can you review 14210 also please.
Nothing wrong in buying cheap stuff, as long as it's good quality. 😀👍
Agree 👌
In order for those 2 things to come together more certainly, is the reason why we have rc review youtubers
(or at least they are there to see the Definite stuff on the rc's more in person, that wouldnt be open to bias or intetpretation)
What is your favrorite rc car
"The ocean made me salty" 😂
😅
I'm going to use my "poam box" to add to my crawler course which my first crawler will arrive in, soon! Woop! MJX is killing it too. Making the big boys look bad. I'd honestly rather have this than my $250 Losi. At least this comes with extra parts, a bumper, and takes some abuse.
These smaller ones are much more manageable. And easy to Chuck in the car while out and about 👌
@@TomleyRC Yup, mine lives in a modified pistol case. Works great.
Can you compare this with an jjrc c8805 pro?
Or not a fan of jjrc?

hmm this one or the Wltoys 124016 V2, witch one is faster on 3s ?
I love the look of the body.
Red really pops
Really like MJX, I have a few of them. Thinking of getting one of these buggys, on a side note can you tell me how you attatched the rear of the Phat body on to the WLtoys 144001 / 144017 buggys on you brushless conversions ?
I think I just used Velcro on the sides
Cool ❤
What was the rc that you shared a clip from a different video?
Cool car 👍👍👍 Thanks for presentation 🙏
Cool little truck 🔥

Does it come with charger on Ali Express?
This one is my absolute favorite from mjx! It’s a winner!
Yeah, it’s really good
What other batteries does this take? I've only got the one and can not seem to find a spare. Thanks
i beeen wanting this truck for the last month or two
Just bought one I was extremely surprised of it quality

Love the HyperGo!
I've just picked one of these up 2 days ago and so far I absolutely love it!
What app and hardware are you using for metrics?
3:01 I can see this one being another "how fast can you make it go" challenge......
Yes 😅
This cars will start getting alot more popular soon wach their really good for the price
Some great footage in this review! Love it. Looks like a great truck, looks and performance!
Cheers mate. Appreciate it
Great video and I love that truck. Thank you for sharing!👍
Awesome video! Looks wa nice solid car
Cheers mate 😇👌
how much bigger would you say it is compared to the latrax teton?
Awesome vid, thanks Tomley. I just got the MJX 14301 you featured at the start of the vid and I'm having a lot of fun with it after being out of the RC scene for a long time. Can you tell us the model number of this guy? Can't quite see it at 2:01 when you show the manual.
14209 😊
Can you get them in the uk?
Not from UK shops
Easy, but shortly it became my new passion. I watch your videos for few days and I like it. For a beginner in RC Cars what cars do you recommend me Phill ?
Hypergo tough‼️👍👍🦾🦾🤘🤘
You've still got to do the Beast Max. Faster out of the box and plenty tough, for less money (under $100)
Looks good, but that's a big price hike over the monster truck versions.
Great review! I love Hyper go cars, they are great!
Ordered it its on the way but i like the video you made it first ❤
when i first seen max i had to think about it then i seen kev lol great vid as always thanks Phil
Yeah, I took that little one down with me when I went to do the USA-1 video
I bought the Currie style version, just waiting for it to arrive in stock .Looks really nice,Interested t seehow the alichassis copes.
It's really nice
arrived this week and box is labelled as the v2 verasion, no idea what the differences are though ,It's great 1/14th truck tho , need to find some sand !@@TomleyRC
HI ITS COLIN FROM AUSTRALIA 🇦🇺 A.K KEN. ANYWAY I WENT AND BOUGHT A HYPER GO WHITE LANCIER RALLEY BODY ,FOR THE PRICE ITS A RIGHT RIPPER ,THANKS TOO YOU AND YOUR AMAZING VIDEOS FROM YA MATE DOWN UNDER , IF U CAN GIVE AUSTRALIA A MENTION, BE MUCH APPRECIATED YOUR GOOD MATE COL.👍
How long do you roughly get out of the battery and does anyone have a link for spares ? Tia
I buy mine on cyber Monday but still dont ship... Wanted the 14210 but was out of stock...
but is it better than the wltoys 124016 v2?
New to the channel what does 2s and 3s mean is he changing something off camera or is it literally just a speed setting on the controller
