MJX did get me into the hobby! I have 3 MJX's now, added gyro's and lights to the other ones and 1/10 wheels to the 14301 infraction one. Got 3 others cars too, but I certainly love my little MJX's!
I got 4 of them from Heli Direct. By far the most fun you can have with your friends on an indoor offroad carpet track. We each painted the wing a different bright color and added orange Number plates to not get confused about which cars were who. They handle on the indoor offroad carpet track like on rails. You need to use Tamiya 58mm diameter foam carpet track premounted tires. They rub a little on the body but it doesn't bother it. Soo much bang for your buck fun!
Another great review mate, i picked up one of these a few months back. Brilliant on the tarmac, not so on loose gravel as shit gets caught up in between the steering links. On sand though she's right at home, very controllable. Hey.. can you imagine this build in a 1/7 ? Thanks for another great video champ...keep up the great work!! Ignore the hater wannabe's ...Your channel is well loved and respected and always will be. Take care, from one of your mates in Australia, Jim. 🙂
These MJX cars perform extremely well with some tuning of factory parts. So far they have been consistent from the factory with every single one of the 4 I have purchased. These at the 1/14 scale are about the smallest you can go while having fantastic performance off-road (my 1/16 rally cars aren’t nearly as fun or capable on any of the tracks I’ve run them on side by side). Based on experience and tools, it will be 2-6 hours of tuning/lubing/servicing before driving it if you want it to perform well. Stock these perform 5/10 and tuned they perform at 9-9.5/10 To get incredible performance I would recommend: - adjusting the toe of the car. All 4 of my cars have come with significant toe out which makes them drive all over the place and uncontrollable (especially at high speeds as the faster you go the more toe out it will have). It has taken 4-6 turns out of the tie rods (steering arms) to properly set the toe to be slightly toe-in (front of the tires pointing inwards). Wait to adjust toe until you set the suspension properly. -adjusting suspension. Shocks come roughly 75% filled with oil and improperly bled. Filling them and setting them for positive pressure helps them to keep up with fast continuous bumps. Adjusting the shock collar to 3/4 down to lift the vehicle 1/2” will make the largest change of anything for its performance on tracks that aren’t perfectly smooth. There is also a way to make the factory coil overs travel further up and down but I won’t get into that here. -Differential work. Making the front Function as an LSD and the rear as a tight LSD or fully locked will make it so the vehicle gets stuck 1/10 as much. It will make drifting corners and tight turns possible and tons more fun. The rear diff also comes bone dry with no grease so the spider gears function especially open with zero resistance. -lubricating rotating mating surfaces. This rig doesn’t come nearly as well lubed as it should, it is an unfortunate thing that pretty much all RC cars come this way now. The bearings these come with are also prone to failure so lubricating the inner mating surface of them will get you a bit more life out of them. CV joints absolutely need to be cleaned, lubed, and maintained after every 1-4 hours of use. My first 2 vehicles had CV joints completely lock up while racing before this was on my list. Even without ever touching water the CVs I had began to rust after a few hours use. -fine tuning the gyro to remain in control for your style of driving. I turn it down for intense/bumpy tracks and turn it up for higher speed tracks. This is something that will take multiple adjustments to find the medium you feel the most control in. Overall these are pretty great. They definitely have some draw backs but you can’t beat the value for the potential performance. I may write a pro and con review later but it’s about a 5:1 pro to con ratio. Also these in 2S single battery can be purchased for under $100 on AliExpress if you use the correct promo codes
@@ariobimo5055 I ran some with 50W 640 CST and some with 15W 150 CST. I had slightly better performance with the 50W. My assumption is that it is because the piston design is fairly loose for faster movement. Oh and as the shocks heated up with continued laps 5-10 minutes in the 50W was performing significantly better.
Hi Travis! My RC has come. But it won't go into reverse. i tried the 'turn on-turn off' to make sure that the receiver is working properly, but the car still not reversing. Any idea why or how to fix it? edit: I tried to change the channel. when i put the ESC socket to the steering socket on the receiver, it works. should i refund/ask to change the product with a new one?
I really hope you get a commission if someone buys the car using your link! LOL! You convinced me... I'm just seeing so many good reports on this car, plus it's a perfect size to run in my yard, good speed, looks great (even if I'm a Ford man! LOL!), just had my birthday a couple of days ago, etc. Decided I gots to get one for my garage! LOL! Thanks for the video!
This looks great. Haven't seen it available anywhere near me, unfortunately. Nice to see more options of rally cars. Perfect mix of on-road and off-road 👍
I absolutely love this car it came with two 2s lipos comes with two other sets of tires an extra fan extra heavy duty springs extra body clips for 199 that is a great price you can get the cheaper one but it only comes with one battery instead of two but if you're like me you'll want all the batteries you can get LOL and I definitely love that it comes with a gyro and from experience I would keep it off the gravel it gets stuck in the steering and if you keep messing with it you will burn the servo up so my advice as soon as you notice the steering locks up stop driving it and get the rock out this is based on experience with this vehicle for me this is a great circle track car
I really like it, I'm surprised rally cars aren't more popular. All my rally cars are home made from custom wltoys and kamtec bodies because we need something better than a TT02 rally kit 🤦👍nice to see the odd rally car making an appearance👌
You have lots of good rally cars. You even have a cheap 1/8 scale HPI Quantumrc FLux that does 4s, the HPI WR8 the Puma is a great car also. Did yous aw the Kyosho car way better then wltoys parts. Not trying to say bad about wltoys but you are talking like theres inst anything good sicne the tt02.
There’s not much I would modify really. Maybe run my own transmitter/receiver and make some very minor adjustments to the steering geometry. Apart from that it’s a rocket out the box on 3s and more than enough.
Fitted the bigger motor and esc from the 14210 into the 14301... The jump in performance (on 3S) is almost like going from 2S to 3S with the standard setup. On 2S, it's a touch quicker off the line than a mates 3s but a little slower on top speed. 3S is just another level completely...
@@Paulthenutter34 I know! that motor is so good, and it would've been not that much more expansive. When I got my 14301 in the winter I had so much fun drifting in a bit a snow on the street with the rally tires, in the dry it feels like it's lacking power. Especially compared to my 14209. So I bought a 2852 motor for it lol, they're quite cheap.
Bro if I was you I would buy the blackzon smyter 3s turbo it is 129 and it is 12 scale and it goes 43 mph coz I got one plus metal gears and oil shoks 👍
Hi I’m thinking about either getting the mjx 14303 or the 16207 buggy which would you recommend. I would probably mainly use on grass-in a park or on road and maybe on beach every now and again thanks.
What i do not like about these rc cars is the terrible slop in the steering and the esc. The can be oil filled bur come empty, putting an hobbywing and a metal gear micro servo make this car far superior. As it is is a nice basher

the very strong and beautyfull RC Car in actuality ! all tyhe people need to buy One , or Two !
Mjx is awesome. Best price/performance and reliability. You get a 40mph excellent drifter for a very low price.

That price for a brushless with gyro is awesome!!

thanks!

That intro is Epic.
I love this RC! Last but not least 👍🏼
Pre-ordered one in march and still waiting for it to arrive. Can't wait It looks so much fun.
Got mine a couple weeks ago, worth the wait!
This car looks incredible. Everyone raved about the chassis, and now that body.... i think i might have to get one.
This looks great. Haven't seen it available anywhere near me, unfortunately. Nice to see more options of rally cars. Perfect mix of on-road and off-road 👍
Aliexpress has them going super cheap at the moment bought one yesterday. Just seen it tonight for even less 118 aussie dollars! Epic
Very cool little car right there
Such a great looking and performing car, those shots on the dirt track look brilliant.Utter Bargain really for how it performs all round.🖖
Absolutely 100%
Beast of a little car is that and look epic and stupidly fast on 3s lol 😂
I have one and it is great...really, really great, so much fun
Totally agree!
Can it fit the Lancia body since its the same chassis?
@@ricardopires4713 probably.. But, I dont know will rear difusor fit.. And front foam bumper..

Haven’t watched it yet but I’m watching it now and I’m looking forward to it man❤❤❤
I recall some stores selling them with a dumbo, and a new revision by mjx with the gyro on the controller itself
Love your channel the best 👍🏻 esp since you are a Kagama fan, about to get one very soon.
Thank you :) The Kagama is great!!

You wont be the last, and love that intro hahaha
waiting for mine to arrived, cant wait to try this little beast!
one question tho, could you make a video about modifying this car?
There’s not much I would modify really. Maybe run my own transmitter/receiver and make some very minor adjustments to the steering geometry. Apart from that it’s a rocket out the box on 3s and more than enough.
@@beyondRC i was thinking to change the esc and motor from mjx 14210. do you think it will fit or i have to do a bit cutting action?
Really cool little car, would've been even better with the 2852 motor from the 1/14th buggys imo. Good review!

I’ve got the 14302 Lancia-lookalike and I still want this one
just buy the body?
I don't care that another channels has already made interviews of this. I was intrested to hear your point of view.👍
👍👍✔️🥰
Only a total weirdo could come up with an intro like that!!
Cheers for the vid Ricky ! 👍🏼🙂
haha great stuff cheers mate!!
I guess there’s a mjx 1/10 coming . Saw it doing standing flips like a pancake , interesting . Every car has its own personality
yep i have seen that awaiting more info.
Great Video man, ordered mine, question how long does the 3s battery shown in the video last?
Ali has them for $149. Man I want one bad. Oh they come with 2s an 3s both. THANKS FOR DOING THIS VIDEO
Bro if I was you I would buy the blackzon smyter 3s turbo it is 129 and it is 12 scale and it goes 43 mph coz I got one plus metal gears and oil shoks 👍
@@emmachristine1618 Awesome THANK YOU SO MUCH
Hi I’m thinking about either getting the mjx 14303 or the 16207 buggy which would you recommend. I would probably mainly use on grass-in a park or on road and maybe on beach every now and again thanks.
Have you heard anything about the new 10th scale truck coming from mjx
nothing apart from the info that is already out there but does look cool!
Yep I a gree way I got mine as soon as I could I have even switched esc to hobbywing
Im sold.👍
Bro.....your still wearing a jacket...🥵 its 1000 degrees outside....then again you are wherever you are ......im in Arizona...anyways. ✌🏼😎
not for us in the UK! that day it was 5 Celsius ha ha
Please review the blackzone smyter turbo 3s it fasssst
great video and this is a super looking car, but WHY do these hypergo rally cars have one front wheel turned out a little, my Lancia is like this
can be adjusted using the turnbuckles but yeah a lot of them are like this for some reason.
@@beyondRC I am very tempted to get this and the black truggy
Looks like they put that one together right… minus the Phillips head screws🤮
What i do not like about these rc cars is the terrible slop in the steering and the esc.
The can be oil filled bur come empty, putting an hobbywing and a metal gear micro servo make this car far superior. As it is is a nice basher
Really cool little car but it is annoying how out of scale and in detailed the pvc bodies are. That is where tamiya just always shines.
