great driving on your part, but i do agree this car is a bit confusing...the power level is pretty wild for such a short wheel base...so OK have some throttle control but then they put this awful ESC that has this weird built in delay that makes it even harder to manage...it's almost like a turbo lag. cool car for $150 but will make me second guess buying any of these random brands regardless of reviews. literally noone in the 4 or 5 reviews I watched mentioned the throttle lag, i wouldn't have bought it otherwise
The stupid throttle lag is because of the crappy radio they still did not update since the 1/16 scale range came out without the GPS radio. They then scrambled to get a radio matched with the cars without the (redundant) GPS system of the first 1/16 Hyper Go's which is still a complete flop. My MJX 14210 V.2 that came from the seller with the Dumbo TX/RX combo does not have the annoying delay neither in forward or reverse. All my 1/16 scale MJX Hyper Go's with the OE radio has the annoying lag but only in reverse because the rear totally redundant and annoying adjustment knob needs to be fine tuned to stop lagging and braking going forward, but no matter how hard you try to fine tune it, the lag in reverse does not go away. So my MJX 16209 will also be getting the Dumbo X6FG receiver soon.
Yeah people complain that a truck or a car is not fast enough and then when they get a car that's fast then they complain it's too fast. You never make everybody happy. That's why the MJX company should just keep them fast.
I hate to say it because it’s so obvious, but why put it on speed run settings and then complain that it has to much power to make it useable?😅😂 For its size and in the skate park you should have used the 2S pack. It would have been a lot more controllable. We’re you using the warp setting on 3S? That’s just for speed runs. I don’t think it’s the turd that a lot of people are calling it. It’s a good entry level basher and put on some street wheels and you can get 50-55mph it becomes a good engineer speed machine. It’s also not that brittle plastic that tend to smash on impact. Also a fan of all the spare parts they set you up with. It’s the most versatile machine for the money. It’s definitely better than many of its Chinese counterparts.
I have the MJX 14209 and it is a screamer! I've only run it on 3S once because it is just way out of my skill set to control. Even on 2S it's usually run on 70% mode. It's more fun to rip them around than it is to just destroy them. I ordered the MJX 16208 based on how rock solid these trucks are, and man they are affordable! All in with free shipping during the Aliexpress sale, the 16208 was just $ 81.45
If you tap the power button 5 times it will beep 3 times then it goes into full power mode. I'm not sure that you even was on full power tbh because it's a different animal when you tap the power button 5 times and you hear those three beeps
I'd keep it in the dirt. They seem to do ok in flat clay though. I still kinda want to add the Lancia Delta Hyper Go to the fleet. Maybe for Christmas if there's a sale.
Next idea... if on skate parks you have to be Conservative with the powerRrRrRrrr... any beaches near you? Damp sand and the paddle tyres maybe its a blast along the shoreline? 😅❤
@@Schmidt3850Schmidt And you're a pro. I have five of these MJX's. And all five treat me well nothing broke yet and I beat the crap out of them. Entry level or not these things are bulletproof. For the money it's hard to find anything that can compete. And yes everybody has their own opinion on things. But don't bash somebody because they have a different opinion than you that you don't like. Schmidt
Theres no other cheapo that can compare to the hbx pro Its still the king of all them lol. Looks decent but should of come with a plastic chassis, far to heavy. Its a ripper though !! Nice video guy 👍
It kinda seems to me like running it on 2s would solve a lot of the problems people seem to have with diffs and damage in general. 45mph power is no joke in a 1/14th, it's a lot of small parts being put under a lot of pressure. Entirely up to people what they do woth their RCs, but if it's too fast and powerful for the wheelbase then put a lower voltage battery in it rather than moaning about it. 🤷
@@rcguygarage not really, you are, after all reviewing it and showing it's capabilities under various circumstances. However it is common among video comments on the MJX series to bash them and complain that they aren't as strong as they should be, whether it be drivetrain or structural. Most of these people are also using it in the setup where it is capable of nearly 50mph. Which is an awful lot of speed for a tiny vehicle, nor is it the ideal setup for bashing. Landing on power in a vehicle that has the wheel speed to do 30mph like most minis is very, very different from landing on power on a vehicle that has the wheel speed to do 46mph. As is the capability for the height reached during a jump for one setup vs. the other. The laws of physics govern both equally after all. Very often the expectations of RC'ers is at odds with reality. TL:DR, the majority of problems with this vehicle are fixed by using it on 2s. And changing the ESC. 😂
@MrLilredmachine very well explained👍💯 I don't think I consider myself a reviewer however I feel as though it's just showing the personal experience. I don't know guy maybe that is a reviewer who knows 🤣😂
@@rcguygarage I've watched a fair few of your videos now, I like that you are a straight talking experienced RC'er that gives their impressions of a vehicle with little filter. I disagree with you on some points and agree with you on others but overall I get the impression that you aren't 'reviewing' something in the way a lot of other UA-camrs would, where things don't get mentioned and issues are skipped over or they won't get the next car from that company as a freebie. That's nice, and separates some of my favourite channels that I actually watch/listen to from others that i watch just to see how a car looks on video, or because they get it a couple weeks early. (Double edged sword there) As a last word on the little truggy, I just feel that because something CAN do something, it doesn't mean it's built to do it all the time in all situations. If you want to do 46 mph then that's great, 3s it, take it to some tarmac and let rip. If you are doing heavy off-road or big jumps (or a skatepark), then a 2s and 30mph+ really should be enough for such a small car. It is for everything else. Hell, a genuine 30 mph 1/10th RTR is considered pretty fast, and more than fast enough to break itself. 😂 Keep trucking and I'll keep watching mate.
You need to use bright colored hair ties or zippy ties on the body pins to locate them. I prefer the 2 body pin per hair tie method. They hold each other in.
Would tightening up the shock springs adjustment possibly help the chassis slap, and or the bounce tendencies? Or how about replaicing the schock oil with even thicker fluid? This little guy seems to love to flip over on its roof. 😅
On my MJX H16BM if you over tighten the underneath screws of the steering assembly it makes the steering too tight and the servo struggles. I have to have them at medium tight for good steering and then just have to remember to retighten them. Kind of annoying.
Had a 14210 , cvr shaft grubs sheared off , replace the fronts requiring a shaft kit to get the two dog grub screws , same in front an rear .steering linkage screws shear also . Repairs needed almost complete strip down involving removing the screws that the heads are like butter . Btw I use wera tools . They also lie about the hardcase batteries . Avoid
@rcguygarage not sure if you did it or not but if you tap the power button 5 times it turns into a completely different animal it will beep 3 times after tapping the power button 5times then it gives access to all the power it had essentially the 70% gets faster then regular 100% is then 100% is literally almost useless. Put it this way it's almost impossible to drive without having the wheelie bar on once you tap the power button 5times and hear those 3 beeps

I had bought the cheaper version of this car and it’s what got me in the hobby! I agree it’s a piece of Chinese piece crap in the end! I’m grateful for it getting me into this awesome hobby
The car kinda sucks with the tires outta the box seem to big for the car i extended my arms with hub adapter s and way better dosnt roll as much and if u dont do that the older model car the tires on that work pretty good and ive noticed the arms and stuff off the older model work on this one just not as beefy as this one but they work.....
I break something on this truck every time I run it. Just another Chinese turd to me. I tried to find a small truck to bash in my yard when I get home from work. Tried a bunch of the Chinese junker's and sent them all back to Amazon as I will do this one as well. My days of messing with Chinese budget junk is over.
@@rcguygarage Truck is way too heavy so not needed that metal chassis and center brace. Never heard of anyone snapping a 14th scale plastic chassis no matter what it's been put through.

What do you mean that diffs are to open? Is their no diff oil in it or the diff oil is to thin? How can we solve this issue, cause mine is all over the place when going full throttle
What do you Mean where to take it .that bloody thing is perfect for farting around in front of your house and not these stupid skate parks I hate that crap lol hahaha
@@unloveableandre The other amazing thing about this RC car is that it is cheaper to buy another one for a parts car in case your runner breaks anything, than to buy the replacement or repair parts individually. The ideal though is to scrape some cash together to have one parts car and two runners. What I really like about MJX is that they actually LISTEN to their customers and Improve their products, the MJX 14210 V.2 and H14BM is proof of this. The drivetrain on the MJX 14210 also seems to be over engineered for durability just like their 16th scale cars - breaking and/or bending a MJX 16th scale car's CVD still remains to be seen.
@@philiprccars4340 I had the H14Bm, that I got when it was launched, with a discount, but I never took it to sand or snow (Florida). It was absurdly fast and powerful. I did a last ran before returning and ended up breaking one of the front wheel swing arms hitting a parking spot curb. I even got him new tires, not off-road ones and it looked great. The weight distribution and height was a problem for me, so the racing tires were a good solution. Then I realized why I got a off-road truck in the first place? I have another truck from MJX, the 14301, that I also destroyed the front swing arm... but I bought his value in spare parts and it's new again, including a new shell. The only part you cannot find for the 14301 is the front grill and light assembly, what is odd as it will be the first thing to take a hit. Mine is broken, but in place. Also got a full spare shell, with lights, just in case...
Putting larger tires on a vehicle INCREASES the speed. That's not gonna help newbies drive better. Anyway, I owned one of these and what it needed was not bigger tires, but wider A-arms. I couldn't find any of those so I used 20mm wheel hex extenders. After that it was significantly less squirrelly. Just slapping bigger tires on doesn't solve the width issue. Puts more strain on the drivetrain, draws more amps, drains the battery faster. That's what bigger (and \ or heavier) tires would do.
