I hope this guy keeps growing. He is awesome!!!!
Agreed. In my top 5 rc UA-camrs. For sure the best ramp basher
Keep liking
Thanks man! 😃
Thanks!! 😊
Always always appreciate!!! 🙏
Once again, great video. Disappointed to see how soft the MT14 was but the speed and handling looked great.
Thanks!
It really wasn’t too bad. I think if the pinions hadn’t loosened, the spur would have been fine. Other reports of the servo going out so hopefully they fix that issue, but it took quite a beating for sure!
Your filming is incredible, & your ability to explain the hobby on a beginner level is A-1
Thanks!! 😃
Great truck, My servo did the same thing. AMain is great. The rep did a full search on his end but could only find the D115F that was available to them. I was able to find the D135F, which is an all metal upgrade from the stock servo. I ordered it and it should be here tomorrow. AMain did send me a replacement D115F, but im not going to install it. I'll give you an update once I've had a chance to beat the crap out of the metal one.
Ya after you told me about the D135 I found it. Certainly affordable enough and if you’re report is good, that’s what I lol get when this one inevitably breaks!
Thanks!
Couldn’t decide between this and the Arrma granite grom so I’ve ended up with both and not disappointed with either there both great little trucks 🛻
That’s how you do it 🤣
I’m really hoping for a Kraton or outcast grom!
Great review bro. Possibly the best reviewer of small scale RCs on UA-cam. 💯👌😎
Thanks man! I’d be proud to wear that badge!
I’ve been following this truck since it’s come out! Seems small for a 1/14, maybe more like a 1/16 to me. I absolutely love though! Probably had a bad servo from the get go. Great service from A-main! Thumbs up to them👍🏻. Love your editing bro! You do a great, -“how’d he do that?” job Everytime! I can see why your channel is growing so fast! Great work Evan!
Ya it does look small, even in person, but the wheelbase is about the same as the 1/14 hbx. That hbx looks longer because it’s not as tall maybe lol.
I appreciate the kind words! I just have fun during the editing process which can otherwise just be boring and glad other people enjoy it!
More fun stuff to come!
Thanks Robby!!
Excellent stuff, as always! Love the look of those tires too, they look like they will do really well on a whole bunch of other trucks. Don't know how you keep knocking out all these great vids week after week, but I am glad you do! Keep on into it!
Thanks man!! Yes the tires work great!
The vids take time but I have fun doing it!
Unbelievably, I've only just recently found your channel. I really enjoy your style of content, it's fresh, exciting, informative and most importantly, lots of fun.
This new subscriber is currently working his way through your back catalogue of videos. Great work!
Super glad you love the channel! Thanks for the comment! 😃🔥🔥
Thank you bud. I think I'm gonna go for the hbx. Great vid ❤
Can’t go wrong there!
Thanks!
I’m willing to bet if you change the fluid on that center dif to something lighter the motor won’t get so hot running in in the grass is what does that on them center differentials they need lighter fluid to rotate faster
I didn’t have it in the grass all that much, but I like the thicker center diff fluid. We’ll see how it lasts!
I’ve had the Team Ass Reflex 14b since about 2019 and its maybe my all time favorite mini. I love the same motor mesh/mount set up. Of course I don’t send the buggy but its bad ass.
Ya I bet it is awesome! I need more Team Ass cars!! 😂
@@DerbyCityRC I’ve never owned any of their 8 scale buggy’s but they look SICK!
I’m sure they are!!
Hahahaha!!! thank goodness for your sweat reducing machine. It would be terrible to exacerbate your perspiration and besmirch your work bench!! 😂 Another great video! I love your editing. You should consider making a video about your editing process. That would be awesome.
Haha very true!
My editing process is roughly 6-10 hours of me transferring my weird brain things into a video for 6-10 hours over the course of 4-5 days 🤣
There were a lot of reasons to like this video, the most compelling of which was his besmirched workbench.
Haha! Thanks. Gotta keep it as clean as possible 🤣
I think this guy is my favorite RC video dude out there keep growing and putting out awesome reviews.
Thanks man!
No plans on slowing down 👍👍
Brother, you’re doing a mad good job. Love your channel!
Thanks man!!
@@DerbyCityRC Where's the best place to get HBX? What's your go-to mini monster truck that they make? Might one...
@@QuinnsRC send me an email and we can discuss some hbx!
Derbycityrc@yahoo.com
Hey thanks! I have 3 16889A Pro's (2 for the kids and 1 for the big kid) I'm going to give these tires a try. I did not see specs on the size but at the end they look just a little taller than the ones on the 16890.
Ok now that I am on the lookout for the perfect back yard (small back yard) basher this truck led me to this video and now your channel. Gladly subbed, top notch content brother. Keep doing you and what you do. Really enjoy it.
Now on the RC note… was looking at the Teton… yes I’m a fanboy… but having brushless out of the box and serious durability… hard to pass up. Gonna go look at the hbx now too. Thanks again for the great stuff!!! 👍👍👍
Glad you found us and much appreciated!!
😃😃
Dude I love watching your videos, you put these cars through hell so that other know how durable they are
That’s exactly why I do it (aside from the fun). Some people get mad at me for being hard on them lol. It’s a durability test 🤣
Great review, just wish you had stopped and reset that pinion soon as it started clicking, but I know you like to beat on them as is to test their durability. I think the tires, center diff and lack of 3s are main features that kept it planeted but it also looks wider and lower like a Kraton. Would be interesting to see the ground clearance/width vs the 1/16 Hyper Go.
Thanks!
Ya i was actually thinking it was a diff until it finally came off completely. Once it started making noise it didn’t take long.
It also has more suspension travel on its side!
first time catching your vids. Your bro has CRACKED me up, LOL. Hope the channel blooms, my guy.
Thanks man!!!
Great channel brother.... You do MANY things Very well😎👍
Really appreciate that!
Great video as always, buddy! Bummer with a failure like that on a brand new car, but can happen with any car... Looks like a great platform, I am pretty hooked on their buggy version, the new one is way less ugly than the earlier one, ha ha...
Looking forward to your HBX 14th scale video... I just received the other day from Bang Good, first thing is I'll replace the shocks, ha ha, and probably order another body for it also soon...
Thanks! The hbx was fun! I did the same thing with the shocks lol
Finally a new release and it's not 3s capable,c'mon TA...by the way,great video as always!
Ya I’m real surprised that isn’t becoming the norm. Lol. Everyone does it anyway so why not!!
Thanks!
This looks much faster than 30mph. But damn. On other channels this didn't look THIS much fun
I know it does lol. Probably cuz most small cars don’t go quite that fast.
It was definitely fun!!
I looked at this for a while being a huge fan of our MT10 and even our MT8 but for the price it was just a little too much.
We'll just stick to our HBX 12th scales.
Also I really don't like those Associated Electronics transmitters. Unnecessarily large, difficult one handed driving and I tend to have to set the trigger end points often. I've swapped most mine out.
Ya not the biggest fan of the controller either. What did you switch to?
For the hbx2105a i think all you need is to swap for the 16889a pro shocks (unless the stock shocks can hold oil). And if you can, could you try the 1/16 traxxas summit tires on it?
As for this mt14, i love it just bc of the size and speed, ill get me one if they go on sale by black friday, but man for around $70-90 dollar less and no center differential, the 16889a pro still the best choice in my book, it can even take the abuse of your bigger ramps for longer bash sessions.
Im excited to see the 2105a video. I received mine the other day, but i had no chance to play with it so i just compared it, the difference is just millimeters and beefier lower arms, and maybe better esc.
My 2105a was fun! I’ll get to your comment in that video eventually 🤣 Keeping up as fast as I can!
Great video man! I think i may just have to add this truck to the list of potential new trucks for me to get. Comes down to this or the full size, but i do love my minis. I can see a lot of guys getting these tires for the Mini Revo's.
Thanks! I think I prefer the full size, but this one is definitely fun!
Dude, your videos are always entertaining. No bullshit, no banter, you get to the point and do so, very clearly. I always know exactly what TF you're saying, and I can follow very easily ( I have ADD). I have made some purchases, from my knowledge through your videos, and they've all been awesome. These little fuckers can take a whooping. Super glad I got into the mini's. (yea, i'm talking about the cheap brands, sorry)
Thanks man!! I also have ADD 🤣 Glad you like what I’ve recommended!!
@@DerbyCityRC Im currently waiting for my 3rd mini, the Hosim 1/16 brushless truck. That one with two bodies and two batteries. Retails for $150, but got mine for $120 and its supposed to arrive tuesday. Cant wait, man.
Seriously though, I need this Reflex 14MT lol.
Sounds awesome!! My next two videos will be Hosim reviews! No 1/16 scales though.
That esc on its side stuffed in there with 30% of the radiator blocked from airflow is asking for trouble. They could have make a bridhe over the chassis and have it sit on top, kinda in the cab if it'd fit. But props for battery tray in a small car. Although i keep wonder if too small battery tray in hbx cars, save them from being overloaded and suffering more crash damage due to bigger weight, or funny stability if people would try to put fatter 3s inside them, and then complain the car tips over too easily.
All valid points!! There’s always a caveat!
Thanks man, I've been waiting on your take on this car before I decided on getting one or not. I think I'm going to spend the extra and get the mt10. Between your review and a few others I'm not seeing much difference in quality between this car and the similarly sized Hyper Go and HBX trucks\buggies at half the price. Maybe when this one eventually goes on clearance or they come out with a real v2 for it with sealed diffs I might look at it again.
I don’t blame you!
very good informative channel my go to for rc content
Thanks!! 😃
I enjoyed the test. I also have had good results with AMian's service.
Awesome!
Thanks!
I've seen my hbx 16889a pro outperform this on a concrete skatepark 3s balls to the wall. That being said, I'll still be buying it- the mt10 must have it's lil brother! Fantastic video as always‼️👍👍🦾🦾
Thanks! Ya it’s not the most durable but it performs great! Wish it could do 3s! (Maybe it can I haven’t tried lol)
I fried a servo when one of my lights broke and it did the same thing. That was on a Redcat. Classic Team Associated breakage the plastic spur 😆
Nice! 🤣
Top hoonage my guy! Need to pick one of these up for my fleet 😎👌👆⛏️😜🔝
Thanks man! Fun for sure!!
Cool truck, i like it! 👍 that little ramp is nice too. Your brother dont like chickens? lol
Thanks!!
He just likes destruction!! 😈
No not really. The chicken coop is a developing story. More to come 🤣
Happy new year Evan! I just saw this car. How does this thing handle compared to Haiboxing ? Man I haven’t had good luck with them. Purchased two… first couldn’t drive straight and second would just drive off when my daughter turned it on. Scary.
You too Mike!
Been a few months since I’ve driven it but i remember it handling very well.
The second hbx that drove off when turned on, most likely the throttle trim knob was turned to the right putting it out of calibration. What model is it?
What model was the first one? The same?
Always check and tighten all screws and check motor etc when buying a new Vehicle. Doesn’t mean that the RC is absolutely 100% RTR! I have found many mistakes on a lot of different brands! Been into RC scene since 1984! ✌🏼💫😎
I laugh at myself because I know this lol. I just don’t usually do it. Luckily that’s the first time I’ve had a pinion loosen so soon.
I've this guy and his son's are super funny.
Thanks! 😄
I hope someone does a comparison video between this and the LC Racing EMB-MT. If you have one, you should totally do a little shoot out between them and see who's the better 1/14 monster truck out there!
I don’t have one unfortunately! Is that on the WL toys chassis?
@DerbyCityRC Yea essentially. It's basically the original. Wltoys and a bunch of those other companies used their platform. Far better quality parts and performance compared to all of the clones out there now.
That’s what I thought.
Thanks!!
Great! Now you got me going down a rabbit hole looking at 1/14 tires. I was needing a set for my hyper go buggy! Any recommendations or just stock?
I actually tried these exact tires on my hypergo 14210. Helped a little bit not much. So unfortunately I haven’t tested enough to tell you. 😢
I like the truck but I think I am going for arrma big rock. Keep up the good work.
Can’t go wrong with Arrma 3s!
Thanks!
"Starting to sound a little rough" as you bash the hell out of it. ٩(̾●̮̮̃̾•̃̾)۶ It actually did well. 👍
Yup I agree! 🤣
He is the beat love all of his content
Thanks man! Means a lot!!
I love waffles, but only slightly burnt 😂
Haha thanks and i find it cool you try your hardest to reply to comment thats something i have only seen few channels do
I know man. I’m trying to keep up. Only 5-6 days behind 🤣🤣 I appreciate it!!
this looks awesome. would love to see how this stacks up against the new MJX 14210
Definitely looking forward the the century my 14210 arrives lol.
Have the 14209 vid in the works
Forgive me if you've already did it but I would like to see you run a Redcat Tornado EPX Pro like this! Wanna know how it handles it. Hard to find bashing vids for one to know if it can handle it...
I haven’t done a tornado. Not necessarily in the plans yet, but I believe ive heard that it’s similar to the hbx 16889a pro that I’ve featured in several videos.
😂 you got me with fan now following cool video
Haha! Thanks man, sometimes it’s the little things 🤣
I've had the truggy version of this platform for about a year.. same exact thing happened to me. But since mine was 2nd hand I had to replace that piss poor servo myself. And it was like 24 bucks! I've looked for a better one with the same spline because the s.s. is pretty good and I'd like to keep it, but if it breaks again I'll just have to find a metal geared servo and use a horn. Good luck man.
Crazy that quality is so low in the servo. The Batam D135f seems like the same one with metal gears
D135f is a champ
Awesome, I was hoping so!!
Thanks for the update!
How about some side-by-side speed runs mjx hyper go vs competitors 16th and 12th scale thanks in ADVANCED ADVANCE
Side by side speed runs are tough because I’m the only one that can really keep an RC straight(ish) at high speeds lol.
We tried it in my video comparing my upgraded hbx 2995 and the hbx 2996a and it wasn’t smooth sailing. But hopefully we can do more of that soon. For now atleast I do speed tests 😃
I had the same problem, for some reason they do not mesh them correctly! Try the other spur that came with it. It'll do 36mph!! Instead of 30.
I will, thanks!!
@@DerbyCityRC No problem!
Another awesome review of a new car. You always explain all the good and bad points so well!
Can I ask, do you vent your tyres or do you just run them as they come out the box?
Thanks!! I run them just how they are. I try not to ever play on the water so hopefully won’t be an issue. If I do, hopefully I’ll remember to vent them lol
@@DerbyCityRC Thanks for your reply. My son has the hbx 16889 running stock tyres and I've noticed a lot of dirt gets inside them even in the dry. Not sure if it will affect the balance of them eventually?
Dirt gets inside the tire itself? If so it must not be glued properly. I’m sure it could throw it off balance if it got bad enough.
NICE !
Thanks!
I love your channel. Hey do you know what the outer diameter is on these tires? I think they would be a great fit for my hyper go. I keep breaking wheels on my hyper go and i think these would be a better quality replacement wheel and tire
These are excellent tires. I’ve got the link in the description, maybe they show the measurement, but probably around 95-100mm
@DerbyCityRC Yea they seem llike it. I cant find the spec on associated's website. They dont list the outer tire diameter. Most hyper go tires i know are 82mm. They seem to be the perfect size. I tried the proline 1/16 trenchers which are 92mm and they are too much for the stock motor and esc. Both get too hot.
Sweet video mate.! 👍 👍 👍

What ovonic size lipo battery are you using in your reflex mt
0:52 i could clearly see, that cookachu shed a tear for getting his house ruined. You guys have no feelings
Haha! Believe me, after that poor girl lost her 4 friends to a raccoon attack (the reason that coop wasn’t cutting it anymore), she’s been treated like a royal chicken 🤣. But she was definitely like, WTF! Lol
Tomley rc ,gots one, spur gear chewed up straight away, but it came with smaller spur gear, enter the brother of destruction😱😱😂 😂😂😉
Weird his spur was smaller! Was his pinion off too?
Yup now I’m stuck rebuilding this darn chicken coop!
Updates to come!
@DerbyCityRC no ,his spur gear was chewed, but his came with spare spur gear in goodie bag, his was also brand new straight out of box
I watched it. The extra spur it comes with is smaller which raises the top speed so I may do the same!
Little to late buddy. Installed a quicrun wp16bl30 in mine so I can adjust my parameters
That’s my life summed up in one sentence!
@DerbyCityRC dollar short and a day late. I installed a fan on my motor, too.
No little humans today? Lol!
Lol, no they were at a friends house both days I filmed this. Or atleast one of them was. They’re in my newest video plenty though 🤣
Lucky dog 🐶 🎉
🤣😃
Question. Have you been having thermal throttling on the mt14? Mine has been having this issue about a month into owning it.
Ya know I haven’t driven it since this video lol
I still need to put the spur gear in it. I’m gonna use the smaller spur it comes with if, but something else more important always comes up lol. It’s on my “fix it soon” shelf lol
You should try LC Racing EMB-MT 1/14. Let's see how tough it is and if it will stand your abuse 😅
Haha! Almost got that a while ago.
Maybe soon 🤣
Only two jumps in😅😅😅
🤣🤣
so cool
Thanks!!
I put a mamba micro esc in mine and it rips. It’s a lot faster now.
Nice! Now put the smaller supplied spur in there and really ramp up the speed! 😀
cool vid bro
Thanks man!!!
Got your stickers! Yours will be headed out soon!
@@DerbyCityRC awesome 🤟🤟🤟
HBX Fan Boys.... MOUNT UP! 😂
Haha! Yup!
Over your garage
Rocket ship!! 🚀
I’m between this or the outcast 4s
Well they’re very different in size lol
@@DerbyCityRC and in (price) I’d the dilemma I really want the outcast, but this thing is cool to for the price
I’ve been considering the 4s outcast since it came out. Lol I know the feeling
Carful with them jumpy poos bra
Haha! No kidding! Killing my servos!
This was a very far review. The car is a little rocket ship and you can tell it handles better than the HBX or MJX competitors, but the durability/quality control needs a little work. Probably not a big deal, but for those getting into the hobby it might be a turn off. If I was one of the big brand RC manufacturers I would want my entry level cars to be the best value, handling, and durable cars the company makes. The first step has to be a positive one. I think Team Associated will get the pinion and gear mesh quickly dialed. The servo seems a smidge more difficult to root cause, but also likely a fairly simple process control fix. You should send the servo back to them so they can figure that out as well. This car will be a beast once fully dialed in for what seems like some nuanced but important manufacturing variability or (less likely) needed bending stiffness in small but very localized areas.
Hopefully metal gears will be an option eventually. I don’t think they are yet.
Otherwise yes it’s pretty awesome!
Faster than Mt10 hmmm.
2s to 2s, yes. I believe I got 29mph on my MT10
So I guess it broke cause of the extreme jumping.
That tends to break any car after a while lol
YA I THINK IM GOING TO GET REFLEX HOONICON RACING TRUCK. I want to get reflex truck or buggy. Monster truck still is really cool
First
You’re a legend!!
