yup, Subotech/GPtoys/HBX supplying factory knows their plastics very well, same factory supplies some items to WLtoys, JJRC, and Virhuck. learn to spot their stuff, good deals to be had for cheap, ya can't go wrong.
The best RC value on the market today! I finally fried the esc on 3s, so I put a 120 amp esc and receiver in it. Now it kicks ass and the motor never gets overheated. I've been thrashing mine for months now and haven't broken any suspension parts! Make sure you get the one with metal wheel hubs for a few dollars more. This thing is so much fun! You can reinforce the body by coating the underside by applying some epoxy with a brush. I do this with all of my rc body's. When they do crack, use some CA and baking soda to weld the cracks back together. 😉😁
First time I have seen you go full bash. Impressed by the durability of the RC. Compared well to the more expensive 1/16 scale rc's that come with bushings and brushed motors. Nice work!
Not a bad little truck. That's the hardest I've seen you run one I think. Looks fun. I don't run mine real hard as far as jumping either. Great to watch.
Wow! What an impressive little jeep, Phil! 😯 Fantastic bashing and review!!! But yeah, it needs a stranger body. 😬 Anyway, stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
Informative videos thanks to them I understood the basics of rc a little, thank you, also with their help I chose this year at once everything I had wanted for a long time, a car, a boat, a vertical, batteries, suspension, rubber.
It's alright seeing tomley going full talbot on that buggy every once in a while, surprised to see the chassis hold up very well with those huge jumps 🤣
Sometimes I watch your videos, even if I don’t care about the specific vehicle you’re discussing, simply because I enjoy your personality, your accent and your sense of humour 😂 you’re a legend my guy!
I think this is the best chassis design for these size cars..plus their gears,diffs are amazing.. simple shock upgrade is nothing..i picked one up for well under 100 bucks..great video!
That is pretty dang good and durable man. It took a freekin beating and the core chasis and drivetrain managed to stay in tact. Im definitely buying this for my nephew. I had it on the maybe list for a little while but after seeing this yup it will join the fleet. My nephew isnt going to be flying it at a skate park so the body should last a good while. Thanks tomley
Great video as always but I REALLY would like to see how fast on 3s that thing can go with the original shocks in it. My favorite recent video by you was when you tried to make the Bandit hit 70mph, or whatever the top speed on the box was, and I think you trying to make the stock version of this hit 70kph would be interesting.
That surprised the hell out of me!! Awful shocks, aside, not a bad little truck. And if you ever see a guy walking around on the beach, looking like Captain Birdseye, it'll be my mate, Keith. I thought the beach looked familiar. 😆👍🏻
@@BASSstarlet Kev has his strengths. I enjoy his enthusiasm and positivity. His friends he bashes with are very entertaining as well. I love RC. Everything about it. What i don't love is RC people bashing other RC people. It's supposed to be a fun hobby. Fun comes in many different forms.
I recently got 4 brushed versions (buggy, truggy, jeep, stadium truck) of this sent to me for review and I have to say that they are pretty nice little entry RCs. The brushless version looks like a lot of fun! Great review as always!
its funny Phil' when SCY first started putting these rc's on ali express in brushed form, they used to offer oil filled shocks option added to the package! wonder why they stopped doing that especially to their new pro model. doesnt make sense to me! these things are quite snappy and fast in brushed form, these brushless versions are very impressive performance wise minus lack of oil filled shocks. Would be nice if they were a company that responds to customer concerns and complaints like MJX and Rlaarlo!
yup, A285004 shocks being 13-14 bucks for 4 here in the US, they might as well be provided on ALL, even brushed 390 powered. pogo sticks SUCK!! the A285004's can break landing hard upside down, the lower loops need more strength. threaded shock bodies, nice damping even from 10w-40 motor oil.
Phil,I love your videos!!! You are definitely the best R/C podcaster on you tube. You show us the cheaper/fastest/most expensive R/Cs out there. How many R/Cs do you actually have?? And what do you do with the R/C cars/trucks that you beat to death? 🤣 Do you ever sell them? Let me know if you do!!! Do you have any older Sportwerks products or any XTM Cars or Trucks or buggies?? My favorite 2wd nitro R/C is the XTM Xcellerator!! For the price that truck is really fast and reliable. I wish XTM and Sportwerks were still in business!! I loved their products and their factory support line was top notch!! Anyways.....have a great day Phil!!! I can't wait to see your next video!!! Maybe something from Losi.......Losi Mini something? I heard they are coming out with JRXT Mini Truck????
I installed offroad tires (10€) on aliexpress and 2cm wheel hex extenders.. i know this isnt the best way to make it wider but it hardly ever flips over now. Its a beast. I also installed wltoys oil shocks. Beware because in the rear they push up the car to much causing the dogbones to get stuck because of the angle.. i solved that temporarely with ti-rips to stop it from fully extending. So for anyone looking to get a pro version. Its so sturdy and strong. Mine hasnt broken anything and i bashed it on trees and ramps and what not.. just clean it and oil it after dirty sand drives.
These are built on a very good chassis. They are fast and durable. I love them for the money. The lower cost brushed version does not have all the metal drive train parts and is not as durable. The plastic drive shafts will break and the diffs have plastic cups where the drive shafts fit and will also break. Far better in my opinion to spend the extra $20 on the brushless version and get the all metal drive train.
I hope i can get some help here. Just got one this week, turned it on, servo turned the wheels only slightly, rear wheels spun, then everything stopped. After about 20 minutes, plugged everything in steering doesn't work. Rear wheels ran for 30 seconds, dead again. Tried everything. Am i doing something wrong? Also the light on my controller isn't blinking.
Hello, mine is going full throttle without pressing the remote, sometimes when i press the the middle invertion button. Do you thini its the esc or the remote ? Thank you
How about fitting other suspension parts from MJX? They look similar, maybe the metal suspension arms would fit? I think about whole metal set, because the steering knuckle looks a bit different, so the question is if the parts will fit on the body and if the bearing will fit?
I recon it can handle 3s but they tell you 2s only to keep it from overheating, which is pretty smart to be fair, i tend to put 4s motors and escs in my 3s cars for that exact reason
with the longer WLtoys shocks on it to raise the pan extra 1/4" on smooth flat water I think it would ski. may need slightly taller wider paddles too for that, generally stuff from "that factory" is kinda light weight like you'd need to ski it.
Hmmm, you should probably deduct a point from the car for having to replace the shocks. Other than that it went well. Where I live we have beautiful white sand beaches. but no tidal stretches like that one with heaps of wet compacted sand. Cool vid as always.
yup, last time I bought A285004 shocks they cost 13-14 bucks for 4 of em here in the US. cheap as they'd be in China they should come with a set out the box, even on slower brushed versions. the stock Tamiya DT02 actual friction shocks do their job very well, they're not pogo sticks, and are dirt cheap to manufacture. when they get bouncy just rinse the silicone rubber tubing inside the shock bodies with alcohol and they're back damping good like they should.
Muy buenos doas Mr como estas , es pequeño pero tiene la agilidad de un coche grande , salidos y gracias Amigo feliz dia , saludos desde Panama centroamerica
Shame it doesn't come stock with oil shocks. It took a pasting. I actually like that body shell design, shame it didn't hold up. The paddles were cool. Be interesting to see what you do with this now....
I bought one of the Jjrc car It was very good and powerful and I decided to buy another one and it was this type, I burned the ESC,From 3S Lipo battery 😅
What size shocks did you use pls I have the brushed version and hate the suspension but aren't an rc guru I just brought it on a whim to bash around with my son while he's using his 1, it handles like crap over bumps yours looks happy on dirt
I can't get these locally so I am opting for the MJX 1/16 Hyper Go 16207. I can get the 3S 2 battery version for $170 AUD which is $118 USD. I recently got the WLtoys 124016 for around the same $. Both are for my dog funny enough, she chases them round but I think the MJX will be better suited for park walks for her.
09:31 It didn't even break on-impact... the wheelnut came loose and detached, mid-air!
That's not a bad little RC! I'm very impressed.
Yes... good spot. You can just see it come of as it's getting ready for impact haha
but don't forget it comes with friction dampers as stock ;)
Do you live in Mablethorpe @@TomleyRC
I’ll admit I watch your content over kev simply because your videos are just calmer . I’ve no issues with kev he’s a top bloke
Even the brushed version i reviewed last year was very fun. fast out of the box. and parts are soft enough to take lotsa impact.

Thank you Phil for another great video. It's a real pleasure watching your reviews and driving, you are a really good driver :).
Wow! What an impressive little jeep, Phil! 😯
Fantastic bashing and review!!!

Anyway, stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
I wasn't expecting much but how awesome was that on the sand!! Epic fun for not much money.. Put a smile on my dial that's for sure..

Not a bad little basher. I did no expect it to hold up so well under that bashing but it took it well. Great video👍
All these little 1/16 RC's come with the metal brace in the middle, even the much cheaper brushed versions running the 390 motor.

Una pregunta la bateria lipo 3s es de 7.4V 2000 MAH
No, 11.1v.
Love it. It definitely rips 🏎️💨🕹️🤏
Wow good shots on the beach
Great Video! It held up better than I expected
38mph that lil thing is shifting! 🔥
That was a proper Kevin T review at the skatepark 😀 GG
Bonjour, j'ai la même voiture et je voulais savoir si c'est normal que j'ai du jeux sur les roues avant avez vous la même chose ?
Those diffs = One tire fire boiiiiii
loving the bounce montage
That mahoossive jump reminds me of Ken Block! ❤ Crazy stuff!
It certainly went up!
Hello, mine is going full throttle without pressing the remote, sometimes when i press the the middle invertion button. Do you thini its the esc or the remote ? Thank you
Brilliant. John
Explain to me if it has the same engine as jjrc q130 brushless, why did it get higher speed?
How about fitting other suspension parts from MJX? They look similar, maybe the metal suspension arms would fit? I think about whole metal set, because the steering knuckle looks a bit different, so the question is if the parts will fit on the body and if the bearing will fit?
Glad to see i'm not the only one who does 10 takes sometimes XD
getting one of these soon looks awsome
as soon as you put it in it's natural it goes crazy LOL
I recon it can handle 3s but they tell you 2s only to keep it from overheating, which is pretty smart to be fair, i tend to put 4s motors and escs in my 3s cars for that exact reason
that was kind of impressive , to be fair that was a pretty had bash bud. awesome video 👍🐿
Amazing! Would it cross a body of water if you had the paddel tyres on and the 3s in it? I am tempted to get one and put it to the test!
with the longer WLtoys shocks on it to raise the pan extra 1/4" on smooth flat water I think it would ski. may need slightly taller wider paddles too for that, generally stuff from "that factory" is kinda light weight like you'd need to ski it.
What is the difference compared to 16889a? Please recommend. thank you
You gotta give it credit though Phil, it did hit the advertised 70kmh on 3s lol
One careful owner very cool little thing 😎😂
Ive just brought the 16104PRO gantry jeep and ues it is what it is great car.
Hmmm, you should probably deduct a point from the car for having to replace the shocks. Other than that it went well. Where I live we have beautiful white sand beaches. but no tidal stretches like that one with heaps of wet compacted sand.

How'd you go turning it on connecting to radio control.
Snappy little ride
I need another video of the mjx, maybe upgraded diffs suggestions as it is my main basher
Looked like you had fun bouncing the car when it had the friction dampers on, bouncy bouncy. lol 🤣👍

Phil, where is that beach?! Looks awesome 😎
Where can i get a 2s LiPo that size I'm thinking it will fit in my ftx tracer Brushless???
I could watch you do "endurance" tests on cheap-ish rc cars all day.
This one looks like a ton of fun on 3S.
Do i mis the technical inspection? What kind of servo, ESC and motor is installed? :)
Shame it doesn't come stock with oil shocks.
It took a pasting.
I actually like that body shell design, shame it didn't hold up.
The paddles were cool.
Be interesting to see what you do with this now....
Yeah, oil shocks would have been an easy thing for them to do, and would have probably given them way more success!
Subotech/GPtoys/HBX supplying factory makes some great stuff!
(they didn't tell ya to take it to a skate park to do moon launches with it)
the brushed version is good as well
9.5 for durability in the hands of a reasonable driver! But fun! You wreck them so I don't have to.
how safe is to use 11v battery on 7v motor? i have exactly same rc car, just wondering if it's safe to do so or no.
Hello, so... Did you use it with 3s battery?
I need to know how save it is🙂
Is it better than a slightly more expensive wltoys 124016 v2?
Nice, I ordered that one from M🔥 a couple days ago! Not a bad price!
Noice :)
Nice fun rc wicked on the sand even though it's frozen ⛱️
What beach is that?
Hooooly moooouly! Little floor flyer
I've got a jjrc q117 Pro what 3s lipo battery should I get I'm already getting the shocks you advise as they should fit as well
Find a tougher larger body to cover the wheels and that could be a good base, Simple shock change and that was flying.
Hi, where can I download the application it uses?
Great review. I just got one of these and I really like it. Where would I find those paddle tires? Thank you if you can help!!
I ended up getting the paddle tires and they work awesome in the snow!! Can't wait to try it on the beech!
I’ve just ordered one of these and orders upgrade shocks. I wish to buy some extra lipos could you please recommend one?
I have the pro version but want to upgrade the battery to a 3s or something more powerful would you recommend? And where from?
I bought one of the Jjrc car It was very good and powerful and I decided to buy another one and it was this type, I burned the ESC,From 3S Lipo battery 😅
What suspension do you recomend to upgrade the stock one?
What size shocks did you use pls I have the brushed version and hate the suspension but aren't an rc guru I just brought it on a whim to bash around with my son while he's using his 1, it handles like crap over bumps yours looks happy on dirt
😂🤣 nice Ateam montage!
Can I ask what beach is that as looks awesome for a quick bash I have some buggies that I think for a first time run need a beach like that 👍
It that Strong and fast the same Hyper go?
Hey buddy I mounted my Jurassic Park Wrangler Jeep on that chassis 🤔. Have you seen album ? Haven't take it out yet cause of cold weather 😧
I just received it and i face problems with the transmitter. Un fortunately there is no video in UA-cam that trouble shooting the same model
Maybe the strength comes from the fact that it weighs next to nothing. Either way cool video as always buddy thankou
i literally saw that a team clip yesterday what a coincidence
Hi there! Can I ask where to find that GPS?
Love those wheels though. They 12mm hex? Tempting to buy it for the wheels.
I can't get these locally so I am opting for the MJX 1/16 Hyper Go 16207.
I can get the 3S 2 battery version for $170 AUD which is $118 USD.
I recently got the WLtoys 124016 for around the same $.
Both are for my dog funny enough, she chases them round but I think the MJX will be better suited for park walks for her.
Solid choice and an absolute tank!
BEAST
I'm a little disappointed that only one other person called out the A-Team montage lol. I had a very hardy chuckle over that lol
Woooooo right on time
🔥🤘
Looked good on the beach! N what beach is that?
With which batteries did you get 78 kmh?
