*Comment taken from my last video and an example of the reason why i needed to do this video:* All these little cars just don't "drive" and handle well,are you trying to be cheap to put out vidios or are we gonna get real cars to look at,if this a kids or beginner channel, we'll then by @brianlangford7278. This is a classic example of *Extreme stupidity* at its finest :) What do you make of the 'Cheap Chinese Trash' RC cars! Do they have a place in the hobby?, are they a better beginner option compared to something from a 'Big Brand'? Let me know your thoughts and opinions :)
My most expensive rc was a rtr kit called a acme raptor but I have alot of cheaper rc's. My collection consists of ftx zorro,ftx ravine,brushless ftx tracer with the oil shocks witch i think its a brilliant truck for its size. I have the udi rc/sg brushless mini pick up and a couple of crawlers for people like myself i find the budget rc's just as much fun as the slightly more expensive ones. End of the day it doesnt matter about the price as long you enjoying the hobby thats all that matters. My little 10 year has a brushed tracer and a maverick ion monster truck he loves both of them .
2 things. If someone wanted to check a review of an indie rc on amazon or aliexpress, then theyll see it has a review on it. Also and moreso, if no one reviewed the budget rcs (free sent rc) then we will never have competitors to the big brands (to which then they stagnate in innovate) and thus the hobby suffers as a whole. Rlaarlo/Mjx i.e. was once a Very budget brand only doing rc less than $100 usd, now they Actually.... Pressure the top companies.
people need to come to sense that the american brands are dying such as traxxas they run the expensive stuff while chinese owned brands run the more affordable stuff, ngl i cant wait until i can buy the rlaarlo xts as my 3rd rc car! thanks alot for the reviews and ignore the idiots, they dont know anything!
I like RCs PERIOD. I dont care about name brands. I do my research thanks to UA-camrs like you that review everything without being bias. keep up the great videos.
Next time a hater criticizes your work, ask them for a link to their video so you can see how they do it. 99% of people won't put in the work to create anything, so all they do is try to tear other ppl down. I think your stuff is great. Much love from Arizona, USA.
Same here🙂 I first got a JJRC car for my son, then realized this thing was so fun and I should get a more brutal one for myself. So I bought an MJX 14210. After tinkering on it for quite a while, I finally resold it and purchased the real monster, an Arrma Mojave EXB. Chinese cars are great for beginners who's not determined to invest too much on this hobby yet, but I have to admit that they're not good enough as cars from some big brands like Arrma and Traxxas.
I can’t be the only person sitting here who started with a Banggood truck and now I buy team associated and Arrma stuff this is exactly what you talking about you need a reasonably priced RC to get your foot in the door
Great video man I myself bought cheaper Chinese cars when I was getting into the hobby it got me really hooked I’ve gotten rid of most of them to move on to bigger name brand cars. My Chinese cars sold cheap and got new folks into the hobby just like it got me. Everyone likes a deal and videos like yours help your viewers make an informed educated descision. I’m all for it . Cheers🤘
I like it when you review cheap r.c cars so I don't have to. The big brands have lots of info on them but a lot of the time the cheap stuff you review I haven't even heard of, so it's great when you do the reviews because it intro's me to lots of cars I may never of known were available and if I should check them out or not. So thank you for reviewing all the cars you do.
Keep doing your thing. I personally also like variety. Sometimes I buy expensive things, sometimes I buy cheap things. There are so many options on Amazon nowadays, and we need people like you to show us what these things we’ve never heard of can actually do. What you’re doing brings value to the hobby as a whole.
My friend, you have one of the best cornucopia of RC reviews of anybody on UA-cam. All the way from Traxxas Arma to MJXWL toys the list goes on! I wanna appreciate the diversity of your uploads not everyone can't afford the latest Traxxas, Arrma or Losi. And like you said, I don't know too many high-end RC companies that are homegrown and not made and shipped from China. The open free market with budget RC's pushes the bigger names to actually try and produce quality. Eventually, they will feel the pain when RC enthusiast go with the better less expensive platforms. Looking forward to 2025 with your channel! Gonna be good
I'm glad someone actually reviews the more affordable rc cars from the smaller Chinese companies. I'm on a tight budget so when I do save up enough to get a new rc car I look at the affordable bang good stuff and if there is a review I feel good about spending my money on it. Thank you for the work you do in making these videos and helping people that enjoy the hobby but can't afford to spend several hundreds of dollars on a car
Brother I love you channel!!!! Personally, I have had enough of just watching videos of people jumping, smashing, making cars faster than they were meant to be. I have been on the hobby for 41 years, owned a hobby shop, and raced consistently 20 plus years. Back when I started there was not many options. You had Tyco, Radio Shack, and Tamiya. Love watch your videos and getting a good feeling of what to expect when and if I purchase a vehicle you have featured. Not interested in seeing 20 plus people mod and jump a mini Maxx 30 feet and break it. Just love your good honest reviews! Keep up your incredible job and thank you for what you do!
Much appreciated. That formula of skatepark it, break it, moan about it, upgrade it, make it brushless, repeat. Is certainly getting boring for a lot of people. Just trying to keep it real over here and show products for what they are and how most will intend to use them. I dont know anyone in real life in any of my groups that go anywhere near skateparks. I dont care what other channels do or how silly they are making themselves look these days with the skatepark vids. Glad i chose to go against that stuff in the interest of showing people especially the younger generation that RC cars arent intended for skateparks and you can have fun without all that stuff. Cheers!
@beyondRC 100% correct. I live in South Carolina USA. There is no skate parks here. I did buy my 12 year old daughter a Team Corally Syncro4 for Christmas, and still going to pick up a parking lot racer. Just have not found a good one that will not break the budget yet. The Syncro is her big gift from Santa. The on road car will be from mom and I. If you have a solid recommendation, that would be very much appreciated!
I recently purchased an HB Toys R1001 "Beluga" chinese Bronco style 1/10 rock crawler. It came with a battery and charger and is compatible with a lot of TRX4 parts. It is compatible with most TRX4 parts, thankfully so I don't have to wait a ton of time for replacements. But since I paid $139 for this, I got an amazing value in comparison to a $500 TRX4 Bronco that I also have to shell out for an expensive Traxxas charger and battery as well, and Traxxas sells the lights for another $100, while my R1001 came with a light kit included. Then I could get another HB crawler that is almost as capable instead of shelling out a full car payment for plastic. Keep reviewing these cars and trucks, I need to know because I like to buy extras for my friends!
I'm with you on this, Ricky. We all have to start somewhere, and these "cheaper" Chinese cars, as you say, are the perfect way to try out RC. Even when you've been in the hobby for a while, I couldn't afford to drop the best part of £1500 on an XMaxx!! The amount of use my cars get is limited by work, the weather, and other commitments. The smiles over mile I get from my "cheaper" cars is far better than if I only went out and spent more on a Traxxas/Arena/ etc!! I also buy some cars second hand. These tend to be the more expensive stuff, but obviously, a lot cheaper than new. The only gripe I have with some of the Chinese cars is, and I know this gets you as much as it does me, is the poor quality shocks, and minor components they sometimes put on their stuff! Quite why WL Toys still do this, considering where they were in the market after the 144001 is baffling!! These brands only need to watch your channel to find out how much people hate friction shocks for example, would they ever put them on another car, for the sake of maybe a couple of $ at their end?! I love the balance of cars you feature on the channel. I wish you'd do more crawlers, but I understand that's not your thing, and I completely get that. Keep on, keeping on, and to those who have nothing nice (or constructive) to say, say nothing! Cheers Ricky. 👍🏻
cheers Rob. Yeah i do thew occasional crawler i actually have the new MJX rock racers coming up on the next vid which are a cross between rock racer/crawler. Very cool but yeah not something i spend too much time on. It just doesn't float my boat lol
I ordered an ROG1 & a Hyper Go 14210 for my myself and son for Christmas. As new to hobby and would not have wanted to pay £300 plus for each car as he / we may not enjoy it. Keep up the amazing work as your channel enabled me to identify the good ones out of the many ones available on Amazon etc,
the reviews you put out also help me decide what to buy , if it sucks and some of them do , I won’t purchase them , the hobby helps me have a massive smile on my face , pure fun . Haters who have no idea don’t understand our fun . The price you pay is for what you can afford or just save up for an expensive car . I don’t categorise or judge what my friends use we are all having fun and take it in turns to use each others cars no matter the price point . Keep doing the reviews please ❤
honestly two weeks isnt bad.. i have waited at least 2 months for things that said that the delivery date was much sooner. i dont mind considering how much i usually save just by being patient a little ..... but its tough sometimes i admit because i be ready to play with my toys .. lol thanks for the content man, keep it up
I love my mjx 14210 also thanks to your channel 👍 i live in the Netherlands and as u mentioned in the vid parts availability sux more even over here that is the big downside , but please just continue on these "cheap trash" vids , i bought a few ..but i just hope i dont break them (often)
It makes complete sense from a UA-cam maker standpoint to do the cheaper RC's especially because a lot of them don't have any proper reviews out so you go to UA-cam to get the proper reviews and see what you are getting if you order that particular RC. With the bigger branded stuff you pretty much know what you're going to get and if you don't there's plenty of ways to find out if it's decent or not other than watching UA-cam. It would make sense to me that the cheaper RCS probably gain more views because of this people want to actually see what they can do and use UA-cam as a review platform for them, it's pretty simple really.
you do you, we appreciate your honesty and opinion. i really appreciate the cheap car reviews as some are good, some are crap. though the big name reviews are fun, most of the big brand cars are good, less scrutiny is needed and there are scads of reviews fawning all over the xmax or infraction. keep up the good work
This always makes me laugh because I used to be a Traxxas fanboy then I became an Arrma fanboy and I’ve got several Traxxas and I have a lot of Arrma’s and then I realized that it takes just as long to get parts for either of those 2 brands then it takes to get any MJX or Rlaarlo parts because most of the time the bigger name brand parts are out of stock so you have to wait for them to come in and for them to ship it to you and the funny thing is that those parts are coming from china so it takes just as long for Traxxas or Arrma to get and then they got to ship it to you. On top of that I can buy 4 sometimes 5 of MJX’s or Rlaarlo’s for the price of just 1 big brand RCs and if 1 MJXs or Rlaarlo’s break you can pull out another one and run that one (because they’re smaller so you can take 3 with you at the same time) in the meantime while waiting for the parts on the one you broke plus if you have a friend with you they can run another one of yours also. Then the other benefit is they don’t take up that much space in your house or apartment. Plus when you look at the games these companies play with us like Traxxas and their pathetic releases like the brushless Jato garbage that has no adjustments and goes somewhere in the 20+ mph and their complete FAIL Mini Maxx which was a complete hot smelly garbage and then you had Arrma with the “Grom Garbage” that got everyone going out and buying an RC that went 20mph only to release a brushless version a couple of months later? Yeah both of these companies played everyone for fools but you still have people that are so so blinded by their obsession over these companies that they make all kinds of excuses for these companies and I’m like,” People Wake Up Already!” They played everyone! Instead of continuously backing them up let’s stop supporting that nonsense and lack of respect for us customers instead of playing games with our money? For this reason I fell back from purchasing anything from either company and then Traxxas with their prices? Come on , enough is enough already. To top it all off MJX and Rlaarlo come “Out The Box” being able to use 2-3s and “Out The Box” clocking speeds 45+ to 50 mph? Traxxas and Arrma you need to do better at a reasonable price and stop playing games with our money!!!
couldn't agree more. They are just greedy. The Groms could have been brushless to begin with and at the same price of the brushed versions to compete directly with the cheap brands and pretty much render them pointless as everyone would favour the 'big brand' for parts etc. But no greed kicks in and what we got was slow, boring cars for the same money as a brushless cheaper brand car which is faster and nicer to drive. Shame.
I love this channel for it's review honesty, and integrity, about all brands of rc cars and trucks. You are 100% right about nearly all of them being chinese, though, thats technology in general. The perk about buying 'american' lies in the fact that you live in america. But with the availability being setup in other countries, then it's best to get whats local to you, unless you dont mind shipping time. Just saying, affordable is an attractive price tag, regardless of the name of the brand. Keep up what you've been doing, because that's why I'm here. Its easy to find whole channels dedicated to the big name rc rigs. Channels like yours show us those, and new competitors, which are generally what people will get, getting started. So yeah, keep the hobby alive by sparking interests, not playing a loyalty game to a company that doesn't listen to you.
Don’t get discouraged yours is one of the most informative no nonsense rc channels on UA-cam and one of about 3 that I watch every video produced you have helped me with purchasing cars , I have actually gone from starting on tamiya then kyosho to Chinese stuff now being able to see them independently tested and being able to purchase parts from various sites and have them shipped from all over the world makes the Chinese brands a viable option these days ,kyosho parts availability in Australia has always been woeful anyway
I watch this channel specifically for the "cheap Chinese trash" 2 reasons why would i want to watch a 1000th video featuring a traxxas Maxx or Arrma what ever. 2nd reason These cheaper cars are a literal mine field yeah you don't spend alot but you get it wrong it's still a waste of money. That's why this channel is awesome you take the guess work out of the equation so big respect and thank you
I disagree with the negative comments, it's most likely from people who are just negative or hating just to try and make other peoples lives equally as miserable as their own. But unfortunately you will find those people in all types of hobbies, hating on one motorcycle brand over another, or one car manufacturer over another. I think you do a great job and have enjoyed your channel for a long time now. I agree that the budget RCs are a need and for me it wasn't directly what got me into the hobby, but it is what has kept me in it. I also enjoy growing the collection and tinkering/upgrading them but am still on a limited budget. My biggest love of the budget RCs is so that I can buy 2 or 3 once I know they will perform decently (due to reviewers like yourself, and others) and now I have some to lend to friends. They can come out with me, go for a crawl, or rip around and bash, or race, and they get to try it out a few times before spending some money on their own RC. Keep up the good work, and try not to let the negative/privileged messages dig too deep. I know that's easier said than done.
I agree fully with what you said and feel your channel has a good overall variation. For me you're one of the few honest reviewers and happily say when something is trash or like with rlarrlo when their parts availability and support was shit you called them out for it instead of saying nothing like certain others. The big brands like Arrma do still have a lot to learn why would you pay the money for their smaller 1/16 or 1/14 cars when companies like mjx and others make and sell cars much quicker and cheaper that are just as durable it's a no brainer. And as you say plenty of people enjoy those cheaper cars just as much as the more expensive one's.
I would not even look at the haters I think you channel is great as it looks at people looking for good rc cars that don’t cost a lot of money and are just as much fun which is what it’s all about so keep it up 👍.
I love it bro! im 40+ cars into the hobby and still appreciate the value these budget brands bring to the table. I like to have several ready to run for family and friends on my backyard track. wltoys124017v8 is surprisingly quick, keeps up w typhon Grom or Reflex 14t, would probably beat the 2wd MiniB
Totally agree with you. Started the hobby earlier this year with the MJX 16207 (I had seen your vids and others on this), then bought a Rlaarlo OT - and since then, I have several Arrma's, including the new Kraton pre-ordered! Honestly the MJX and Rlaarlos are excellent for the money and I still enjoy them! Great channel!
Just ignore them, haters gonna hate, i bought my first rc after watching your wltoys 144001 video, that was 3 yrs ago, from there now i have few prokits, arrmas and team corally, still i bought few cheap china rc's, its the fun factor not the brand, that what brings me to this hobby, cheers mate
What I do to combat parts availability is if I break a part. I order 2 or 3 of that part, sure you're waiting 2 weeks still but at least you'll have a couple of spares in your bag too. then when you get down to your last one order a couple more
Keep it up! I started with a MJX thanks to your reviews. Got a Big Rock to and enjoy both cars. I don’t have a local hobby shop. And you’re spot on in your analys on us who have to order all our parts. Would love to see a review on the new Hyper Go H12y. I need a crawler in my life. 🐛
I appreciate your upbeat vids and love watching your channel, if I didn't like it I would leave EVERYONE is welcome to do THAT! I recently bought a WPL crawler thanks to channels like this, I own Traxxas/Element/Axial/FMS I still love my little WPL. Keep up the good work thanks
I’m a 49 year old blue collar worker rc lover and I have nearly 20 vehicles. No big name or “cheap” brands are just as good. You just have to look for the inexpensive not cheap stuff. Keep doing what you do. I’ve bought a few “cheap” one because of your reviews
Yeah Chinese cheap are a good option for newbies, but long term parts support is still a huge problem especially when you run them like 10 years or so. Think that’s the biggest issue, next to the “they used metal parts”, thanks for nothing, it’s relevant what Metall like steal or which type of aluminium. But it’s always interesting to see what the Chinese do so go ahead with it.
The DHK Maximus & JLB Cheetah got me back into the Hobby. As you said they are all Chineese made “Arrma & Traxxas are made in Taiwan”. I am for Team China.!!!Keep them coming!!!
You are one of the reasons I bought a cheap Chinese trashy HNR Werewolf. I am really looking forward to getting it. my only concern at this point is replacement parts.
HNR Werewolf is also rebranded as FTX EVO30. So maybe you could get those parts? Also, make sure to invert the gyro and don't do 3s on the stock tires. The stock rubber is strangely soft and will hit the frame ballooning at high speed causing it to crash. It will run any 1:10 wheels though. Also, brilliantly fun car. It's my favorite, especially at dawn with the wonderful lights. Adjust the camber if you get uneven tire wear and I've installed the included shock collars to raise the car a bit to avoid crashes on small bumps. Lastly, you can lower the headlights to avoid blinding with a big drill and hot glue :)
Keep doing your thing brother! Haters are going to hate! These entry level RC’s from China are “the gateway RC’s” and promote the hobby. Remember whether is a 👍 or 👎…they are still watching😉🤣
I still pull the budget ones out every now and then. My MN99 needs a motor wire solder job after upgrading, but the HBX drift Mustang and WPL C24 aren't going anywhere! They may not get regular use, but always have a special place in the heart. You'll never get the thrill of 'that first time' and it usually comes from a chance RC.
You keep doing what you are doing.......fantastic channel...Ps I can have any rc car i want but the less expensive ones are more fun for me . The huge Traxxas and Arrmas usualy just sit on my bench broke most of the time. The new Rlarrlo s have been blowing it out of the park for me lately.
Completely agree with you, it's the cheap stuff that got my foot in the door, started off with a Wltoys 124017v2, 40mph out the box, loved it. Now I have Arrma Infraction, Traxxas Xmaxx, UDR and I'm saving for a racer to join my local indoor club. I wasn't prepared to spend $1000 to start with but I didn't mind the £125 on my Wltoys (with 2 batteries) to see what all the fuss was about after watching a few online videos. Once I started I loved it, it's a great hobby, I've met loads of decent people and I couldn't wait to get me a bigger more expensive car. I just can't see why anyone would be against the Chinese companies as it gets people like me into the hobby. What with the cost of living at the moment a lot of people don't have the same disposable income they once had, so the cheaper Chinese brands become very appealing, especially as you get some great performance from a lot of these cheaper cars, just cause they're cheaper doesn't mean they're no good. My Wltoys is faster on 2s out the box than a lot of the bigger brands on 3s. 42mph out the box is really impressive if you ask me. Also they can be upgraded to do some insane speeds for not much money, you get so much more for your money than you do from the cheaper end of Traxxas and Arrma (like you said) The Traxxas and Arrma's are twice the price with half the performance, often with plastic gears, brushed motors etc I think Traxxas and Arrma make great cars at the bigger more expensive end of the market but at the lower end they're often no way near as good as the cheaper Chinese alternatives
Thing is for me I find I get far more use out of the smaller scale stuff than the bigger 1/10+ stuff I own. They're easier to chuck in a bag and use at work on a break. The chinese brands like mjx, hbx and the ldrc drift cars are perfect for this so I own a fair few and are a damn sight cheaper than arrma grom range. So I like seeing the reviews and which I should be adding to the collection next. So please keep doing what your doing. Besides my pockets are deep enough for things that are £200+!
I have from hosim, to losi! Cheap cars are the way to go no matter how crappy they are! I really don't know many people that are going to go buy a 1000 xmaxx and hand it over to a 4 or 5 year old. My 3 year old grandson started a year or so ago with a cheap Amazon copy of a mjx or hypergo. He now has a arrma sentin brushed, latrax prerunner, and still couple cheap copies!!!!
Cheaper brands are good for the hobby. Like you said, it promotes the hobby. Wish they were that good or available when I was a kid. Yes there was Tamiya but wasn't that available where I lived. Only a few static models.
I think cheaper is great. Big brands did started small as well. Brands have to keep their name up, this will be a part of the price. Next to parts availability. So N+1 is the best option to overcome the wait for incoming parts 😅. Thnx for sharing. Cheers from the Netherlands
I’m onboard with “keep doing what YOU DO!” You said it perfectly. There’s other channels doing all the other “Expensive made in China trash” 😂 I come here to see which affordable rigs are worth my hard earned money and which ones are just junk. I appreciate you sifting though the Chinese trash to find the “affordable gems!” Example, among my fleet of high dollar race rigs I’ve got an Omni T and a HyperGo that I’m SO SATISFIED WITH because YOU found the gems worth having. Cheers, we appreciate you!!!!
Hey beyondRC keep doing what you're doing and keeping doing it the way YOUR VIEWERS want you to do it because honestly that's what keeps your channel going and the haters will move on to another channel and repeat the hating there! But as one who has been in this sport/hobby for more than 40 years I like many others have had and currently do have the "knock-off" brands and some are actually pretty damn good but of course some aren't and I've also got some higher end stuff that I prefer like the team associated cars and trucks along with some arrma vehicles and yeah I do have two traxxas crawlers (but I don't really tell too many people that) even though they run pretty good. Thank you for producing great, informative and varying brands in your videos!
@@beyondRC No No, Thank You for making the content that you do! as I just watched your video about the 1/20 scale truck (because I was considering buying one) and once again thanks to your very informative video I am going have to pass on this one. So I sincerely do appreciate your videos and your opinion of the varying vehicles that you test! I truly believe that you are helping and really guiding (to some degree) some of the younger people that are wanting to get into this hobby even though they might not necessarily have a big budget for it to make an informed decision of where their money would be best spent.👍 Sorry for the lengthy response but honestly man-(sorry I don't know your name), you really are making great strides in preserving our sport/hobby and I really appreciate that because not all UA-camrs are actually trying to do that. I look forward to your next video!
I love your channel, I've been fortunate enough at 54 years old to have an unlimited budget for RC cars, I have the top of tge line Traxxas, Losi, Arrma, etc, all types, on road, off road, drifters, whatever ...I Also enjoy my MJX, Rlaarlo, HBX RCs just as much, My go to daily rc happens to be the MJX 14303 Citreon Rally, absolutely one of my favorites, they are all fun, I work on all of my cars, and yes tge MJX takes more time, but they are one hell of a RC car, accessible parts, cheap, and Very high quality for the Price Point.
Started with a cheap WPL, then 2, then 3, lol and now I'm doing full custom Axial and traxxas builds. I like my B16 so much I tracked down a lexan M35 cab so I can make a 1/10 big brother for it 😂
@beyondRC thanks for your video, but living in Vietnam very near China, it's hard and difficult for us (also very expensive) to get the known brand RC, so the easiest way is to get the China RC and enjoy, and it's good to have a large of replace parts too
I got into the hobby about a year and a half ago with a mjx 16208. Ran that for 2 months then bought a mt10 which was my max budget for a rc car. That’s now had all the upgrades possible and a hobby wing motor and esc combo chucked init. My 4 year old son now has my mjx and going out together for a rip is one of best bonding days out we do we laughing from start to finish, think he’s getting bit bored of the little mjx cause he mostly drives my mt10 now so I’m stuck with the little mjx most of the time 😂
First RC car MJX Hyper Go 16BM. Then Rlarrlo ROG1. Then Typhon Grom, then Big Rock, then Outcast....and picked up 3x 24scale crawlers along the way. I sure would not have dropped over 200 bucks on on an RC car starting out. Was not sure if I would even like it. So your spot on in that regard. Also, thank you for making the point about parts for big name brands are STILL made in China. So essentially you have Cheap China....and Expensive China pretty much.
Mini Maxx vs OT. Would pick the OT everyday. I think your chanel does fine. Rather have realistic reviews of cheaper stuff than getting a non realistic review of someone who gets paaid for a good review
I just bought my first RC (FTX5493r) exactly that one shown in the video before you click on it with the arrow pointing saying cheap hinese↘️ If this is cheap Chinese, then that’s all I need ❤ Bought it after watched your review by the way, love your channel 🫡
Totally agree with you. And parts are not a problem. Usually when I buy a car from e.g. AE or Rlaarlo or... I just buy it together with upgrades and other parts, wich I know will brake first. And the package is still much cheaper than a big brand car. Don't get me wrong, I have Traxxas, Kyosho and LC racing too, but just because I like one specific car, not the brand. The so often named availability of parts is often a rumor. Escpecially Traxxas serves the US marked first, so in Switzerland you often have to wait months for availability. And often shipping from a european country or USA take longer and is much more expensive than shipping from China. And after some years in the hobby everybody has lots of other cars to drive with, if one is damaged. Keep on the good work!
#DeeRc1217 $130 shipped to your door in the US, Traxxas Mini max $269, DeeRc is faster, more durable, period. Video will be dropping soon on my channel comparing these two specific RC Trucks! Love your channel, honesty and integrity. Stay up brother 👊
You do you, if people don’t like it, they can start their own channel and review what they want!!!! I’m into building Tamiya kits, others like the RTR market, there’s room for everyone!!!!
There's got to be a place in the market for lower price RC cars, that's were you start from & build up to the more premium brands, I started with Absima & FTX, which I still have, now I also have Kyosho & Traxxas, my other hobby is Air Guns, it's the same there, you can spend £100 on a budget brand(ironically most are made in China) but you spend upwards of £3k+(definitely not made in China 😁) again I have both, budget & premium, so there's always a place on UA-cam with your take on the hobby Ricky, long may it continue 😁👍
Hey bro keep doing your thing bud, it's better than shilling and lying for traxxass like alot if other guys, I only own 1 Chinese car(787) but me and Cleary many others enjoy your content.
Honestly I love some of the WPL and MN models as crawlers more than the bigger names. Was going to buy a Traxxas Trx4m here in Canada for Christmas. But they increase the price just before Christmas?
I started my UA-cam channel with an affordable HBX 903a which I still have. I really like the affordable rcs out there that's what got my friend into the rc hobby. I will keep buying the affordable rcs no matter what brand.
I love them they are more durable and cheaper to replace parts when and if they get Brocken , You got me into rc cars starting with cheep rc cars, I have since brought a 1:8 scale rally car, but was only £233 , I got the Redcat Acent Fusion for 399 dollars and only like taking it out in the summer, at least with cheaper cars you don’t mind taking them out all weathers and bashing them because cheep enough to buy another one
Seems to me the bigger brands all use Chinese parts any way. The problem with the off brands are their lack of quality control ,and the lack of original designs I would say.
These Chinese trucks are at a price point where I can try out crawlers ( a crummy wpl c14 for 34 bucks) and now I get to decide if I like crawlers. I would not drop 100 bucks on it so it fills a good entry level position. Are there better rigs? Sure. But not for 34 bucks.
*Comment taken from my last video and an example of the reason why i needed to do this video:*
All these little cars just don't "drive" and handle well,are you trying to be cheap to put out vidios or are we gonna get real cars to look at,if this a kids or beginner channel, we'll then by @brianlangford7278. This is a classic example of *Extreme stupidity* at its finest :)
What do you make of the 'Cheap Chinese Trash' RC cars! Do they have a place in the hobby?, are they a better beginner option compared to something from a 'Big Brand'? Let me know your thoughts and opinions :)
My most expensive rc was a rtr kit called a acme raptor but I have alot of cheaper rc's. My collection consists of ftx zorro,ftx ravine,brushless ftx tracer with the oil shocks witch i think its a brilliant truck for its size. I have the udi rc/sg brushless mini pick up and a couple of crawlers for people like myself i find the budget rc's just as much fun as the slightly more expensive ones. End of the day it doesnt matter about the price as long you enjoying the hobby thats all that matters. My little 10 year has a brushed tracer and a maverick ion monster truck he loves both of them .
2 things.
If someone wanted to check a review of an indie rc on amazon or aliexpress, then theyll see it has a review on it.
Also and moreso, if no one reviewed the budget rcs (free sent rc) then we will never have competitors to the big brands (to which then they stagnate in innovate) and thus the hobby suffers as a whole.
Rlaarlo/Mjx i.e. was once a Very budget brand only doing rc less than $100 usd, now they Actually.... Pressure the top companies.
people need to come to sense that the american brands are dying such as traxxas they run the expensive stuff while chinese owned brands run the more affordable stuff, ngl i cant wait until i can buy the rlaarlo xts as my 3rd rc car! thanks alot for the reviews and ignore the idiots, they dont know anything!
Good thing is it gives you ideas for videos lol I do the same, haters are fuel for videos dude.
@@HaggardRC very true 😂
I like RCs PERIOD. I dont care about name brands. I do my research thanks to UA-camrs like you that review everything without being bias. keep up the great videos.
Next time a hater criticizes your work, ask them for a link to their video so you can see how they do it.
99% of people won't put in the work to create anything, so all they do is try to tear other ppl down.
I think your stuff is great. Much love from Arizona, USA.
i have done this before and guess what... no reply haha!!
Parts delivery time is no problem if you have more than one car. And with cheap Chinese ones, that doesn't take long :)
"Cheap Chinese junk" got me into the hobby!
@@christianrambissoon1141 you, me and countless others
Me to brutha I’ve since sold many of them to fund bigger and better cars but they certainly have there place in the hobby
Same here🙂 I first got a JJRC car for my son, then realized this thing was so fun and I should get a more brutal one for myself. So I bought an MJX 14210. After tinkering on it for quite a while, I finally resold it and purchased the real monster, an Arrma Mojave EXB. Chinese cars are great for beginners who's not determined to invest too much on this hobby yet, but I have to admit that they're not good enough as cars from some big brands like Arrma and Traxxas.
@@gavinhou3261 they are a great starting point for a lot of people before moving up to something bigger/better :)
Same lol
Do what you're doing man. Don't worry about the RC snobs. You're right, not everyone has the money for big name RCs. Keep it rolling!
I can’t be the only person sitting here who started with a Banggood truck and now I buy team associated and Arrma stuff this is exactly what you talking about you need a reasonably priced RC to get your foot in the door
right!
@@tepidwheelsRC 100% buddy,I was exactly the same, buying a cheap wltoys got me into the hobby
@@davidmellish3295 bit of a shame WLtoys dropped the ball
you're not,,, i bought an HBX2996a... :)
Great video man I myself bought cheaper Chinese cars when I was getting into the hobby it got me really hooked I’ve gotten rid of most of them to move on to bigger name brand cars. My Chinese cars sold cheap and got new folks into the hobby just like it got me. Everyone likes a deal and videos like yours help your viewers make an informed educated descision. I’m all for it . Cheers🤘
I like it when you review cheap r.c cars so I don't have to. The big brands have lots of info on them but a lot of the time the cheap stuff you review I haven't even heard of, so it's great when you do the reviews because it intro's me to lots of cars I may never of known were available and if I should check them out or not. So thank you for reviewing all the cars you do.
RC's are an expensive hobby, so Chinese brands are quite essential. Big brands just don't deliver the goods. Also, I love a good bargain.
Well said
💯
👏🏾
Keep doing your thing. I personally also like variety. Sometimes I buy expensive things, sometimes I buy cheap things. There are so many options on Amazon nowadays, and we need people like you to show us what these things we’ve never heard of can actually do. What you’re doing brings value to the hobby as a whole.
Much appreciated
My friend, you have one of the best cornucopia of RC reviews of anybody on UA-cam. All the way from Traxxas Arma to MJXWL toys the list goes on! I wanna appreciate the diversity of your uploads not everyone can't afford the latest Traxxas, Arrma or Losi. And like you said, I don't know too many high-end RC companies that are homegrown and not made and shipped from China. The open free market with budget RC's pushes the bigger names to actually try and produce quality. Eventually, they will feel the pain when RC enthusiast go with the better less expensive platforms. Looking forward to 2025 with your channel! Gonna be good
much appreciated bring on 2025!
I'm glad someone actually reviews the more affordable rc cars from the smaller Chinese companies. I'm on a tight budget so when I do save up enough to get a new rc car I look at the affordable bang good stuff and if there is a review I feel good about spending my money on it. Thank you for the work you do in making these videos and helping people that enjoy the hobby but can't afford to spend several hundreds of dollars on a car
Brother I love you channel!!!! Personally, I have had enough of just watching videos of people jumping, smashing, making cars faster than they were meant to be. I have been on the hobby for 41 years, owned a hobby shop, and raced consistently 20 plus years. Back when I started there was not many options. You had Tyco, Radio Shack, and Tamiya. Love watch your videos and getting a good feeling of what to expect when and if I purchase a vehicle you have featured. Not interested in seeing 20 plus people mod and jump a mini Maxx 30 feet and break it. Just love your good honest reviews! Keep up your incredible job and thank you for what you do!
Much appreciated. That formula of skatepark it, break it, moan about it, upgrade it, make it brushless, repeat. Is certainly getting boring for a lot of people. Just trying to keep it real over here and show products for what they are and how most will intend to use them. I dont know anyone in real life in any of my groups that go anywhere near skateparks. I dont care what other channels do or how silly they are making themselves look these days with the skatepark vids. Glad i chose to go against that stuff in the interest of showing people especially the younger generation that RC cars arent intended for skateparks and you can have fun without all that stuff. Cheers!
@beyondRC 100% correct. I live in South Carolina USA. There is no skate parks here. I did buy my 12 year old daughter a Team Corally Syncro4 for Christmas, and still going to pick up a parking lot racer. Just have not found a good one that will not break the budget yet. The Syncro is her big gift from Santa. The on road car will be from mom and I. If you have a solid recommendation, that would be very much appreciated!
I recently purchased an HB Toys R1001 "Beluga" chinese Bronco style 1/10 rock crawler. It came with a battery and charger and is compatible with a lot of TRX4 parts. It is compatible with most TRX4 parts, thankfully so I don't have to wait a ton of time for replacements. But since I paid $139 for this, I got an amazing value in comparison to a $500 TRX4 Bronco that I also have to shell out for an expensive Traxxas charger and battery as well, and Traxxas sells the lights for another $100, while my R1001 came with a light kit included. Then I could get another HB crawler that is almost as capable instead of shelling out a full car payment for plastic. Keep reviewing these cars and trucks, I need to know because I like to buy extras for my friends!
I'm with you on this, Ricky. We all have to start somewhere, and these "cheaper" Chinese cars, as you say, are the perfect way to try out RC.
Even when you've been in the hobby for a while, I couldn't afford to drop the best part of £1500 on an XMaxx!! The amount of use my cars get is limited by work, the weather, and other commitments.
The smiles over mile I get from my "cheaper" cars is far better than if I only went out and spent more on a Traxxas/Arena/ etc!!
I also buy some cars second hand. These tend to be the more expensive stuff, but obviously, a lot cheaper than new.
The only gripe I have with some of the Chinese cars is, and I know this gets you as much as it does me, is the poor quality shocks, and minor components they sometimes put on their stuff! Quite why WL Toys still do this, considering where they were in the market after the 144001 is baffling!!
These brands only need to watch your channel to find out how much people hate friction shocks for example, would they ever put them on another car, for the sake of maybe a couple of $ at their end?!
I love the balance of cars you feature on the channel. I wish you'd do more crawlers, but I understand that's not your thing, and I completely get that.
Keep on, keeping on, and to those who have nothing nice (or constructive) to say, say nothing!
Cheers Ricky. 👍🏻
cheers Rob. Yeah i do thew occasional crawler i actually have the new MJX rock racers coming up on the next vid which are a cross between rock racer/crawler. Very cool but yeah not something i spend too much time on. It just doesn't float my boat lol
I ordered an ROG1 & a Hyper Go 14210 for my myself and son for Christmas.
As new to hobby and would not have wanted to pay £300 plus for each car as he / we may not enjoy it.
Keep up the amazing work as your channel enabled me to identify the good ones out of the many ones available on Amazon etc,
the reviews you put out also help me decide what to buy , if it sucks and some of them do , I won’t purchase them , the hobby helps me have a massive smile on my face , pure fun . Haters who have no idea don’t understand our fun . The price you pay is for what you can afford or just save up for an expensive car . I don’t categorise or judge what my friends use we are all having fun and take it in turns to use each others cars no matter the price point .
Keep doing the reviews please ❤
honestly two weeks isnt bad.. i have waited at least 2 months for things that said that the delivery date was much sooner. i dont mind considering how much i usually save just by being patient a little ..... but its tough sometimes i admit because i be ready to play with my toys .. lol thanks for the content man, keep it up
I love my mjx 14210 also thanks to your channel 👍 i live in the Netherlands and as u mentioned in the vid parts availability sux more even over here that is the big downside , but please just continue on these "cheap trash" vids , i bought a few ..but i just hope i dont break them (often)
It makes complete sense from a UA-cam maker standpoint to do the cheaper RC's especially because a lot of them don't have any proper reviews out so you go to UA-cam to get the proper reviews and see what you are getting if you order that particular RC. With the bigger branded stuff you pretty much know what you're going to get and if you don't there's plenty of ways to find out if it's decent or not other than watching UA-cam. It would make sense to me that the cheaper RCS probably gain more views because of this people want to actually see what they can do and use UA-cam as a review platform for them, it's pretty simple really.
I like Kevin Talbot's motto, "If it puts a smile on your face, that's all you need." I own models from many companies, and I like them all.
you do you, we appreciate your honesty and opinion. i really appreciate the cheap car reviews as some are good, some are crap. though the big name reviews are fun, most of the big brand cars are good, less scrutiny is needed and there are scads of reviews fawning all over the xmax or infraction. keep up the good work
This always makes me laugh because I used to be a Traxxas fanboy then I became an Arrma fanboy and I’ve got several Traxxas and I have a lot of Arrma’s and then I realized that it takes just as long to get parts for either of those 2 brands then it takes to get any MJX or Rlaarlo parts because most of the time the bigger name brand parts are out of stock so you have to wait for them to come in and for them to ship it to you and the funny thing is that those parts are coming from china so it takes just as long for Traxxas or Arrma to get and then they got to ship it to you. On top of that I can buy 4 sometimes 5 of MJX’s or Rlaarlo’s for the price of just 1 big brand RCs and if 1 MJXs or Rlaarlo’s break you can pull out another one and run that one (because they’re smaller so you can take 3 with you at the same time) in the meantime while waiting for the parts on the one you broke plus if you have a friend with you they can run another one of yours also. Then the other benefit is they don’t take up that much space in your house or apartment. Plus when you look at the games these companies play with us like Traxxas and their pathetic releases like the brushless Jato garbage that has no adjustments and goes somewhere in the 20+ mph and their complete FAIL Mini Maxx which was a complete hot smelly garbage and then you had Arrma with the “Grom Garbage” that got everyone going out and buying an RC that went 20mph only to release a brushless version a couple of months later? Yeah both of these companies played everyone for fools but you still have people that are so so blinded by their obsession over these companies that they make all kinds of excuses for these companies and I’m like,” People Wake Up Already!” They played everyone! Instead of continuously backing them up let’s stop supporting that nonsense and lack of respect for us customers instead of playing games with our money? For this reason I fell back from purchasing anything from either company and then Traxxas with their prices? Come on , enough is enough already. To top it all off MJX and Rlaarlo come “Out The Box” being able to use 2-3s and “Out The Box” clocking speeds 45+ to 50 mph? Traxxas and Arrma you need to do better at a reasonable price and stop playing games with our money!!!
couldn't agree more. They are just greedy. The Groms could have been brushless to begin with and at the same price of the brushed versions to compete directly with the cheap brands and pretty much render them pointless as everyone would favour the 'big brand' for parts etc. But no greed kicks in and what we got was slow, boring cars for the same money as a brushless cheaper brand car which is faster and nicer to drive. Shame.
I love this channel for it's review honesty, and integrity, about all brands of rc cars and trucks. You are 100% right about nearly all of them being chinese, though, thats technology in general. The perk about buying 'american' lies in the fact that you live in america. But with the availability being setup in other countries, then it's best to get whats local to you, unless you dont mind shipping time. Just saying, affordable is an attractive price tag, regardless of the name of the brand.
Keep up what you've been doing, because that's why I'm here. Its easy to find whole channels dedicated to the big name rc rigs. Channels like yours show us those, and new competitors, which are generally what people will get, getting started. So yeah, keep the hobby alive by sparking interests, not playing a loyalty game to a company that doesn't listen to you.
At the end of the day my dog doesn't give a rat's backside that he's chasing my Rlaarlo D12 desert buggy and not an Associated MT10 on the beach.
LOL
I love cheap Chinese trash r/c's, some of them are fantastic.
absolutely
Don’t get discouraged yours is one of the most informative no nonsense rc channels on UA-cam and one of about 3 that I watch every video produced you have helped me with purchasing cars , I have actually gone from starting on tamiya then kyosho to Chinese stuff now being able to see them independently tested and being able to purchase parts from various sites and have them shipped from all over the world makes the Chinese brands a viable option these days ,kyosho parts availability in Australia has always been woeful anyway
Thanks lee
Just keep doing what you’re doing …from a Chinese cheap Chinese RC car reviewer in China (HKSAR) who speaks Chinese !
I watch this channel specifically for the "cheap Chinese trash" 2 reasons why would i want to watch a 1000th video featuring a traxxas Maxx or Arrma what ever. 2nd reason These cheaper cars are a literal mine field yeah you don't spend alot but you get it wrong it's still a waste of money. That's why this channel is awesome you take the guess work out of the equation so big respect and thank you
more than welcome :)
I disagree with the negative comments, it's most likely from people who are just negative or hating just to try and make other peoples lives equally as miserable as their own. But unfortunately you will find those people in all types of hobbies, hating on one motorcycle brand over another, or one car manufacturer over another.
I think you do a great job and have enjoyed your channel for a long time now. I agree that the budget RCs are a need and for me it wasn't directly what got me into the hobby, but it is what has kept me in it. I also enjoy growing the collection and tinkering/upgrading them but am still on a limited budget.
My biggest love of the budget RCs is so that I can buy 2 or 3 once I know they will perform decently (due to reviewers like yourself, and others) and now I have some to lend to friends. They can come out with me, go for a crawl, or rip around and bash, or race, and they get to try it out a few times before spending some money on their own RC.
Keep up the good work, and try not to let the negative/privileged messages dig too deep. I know that's easier said than done.
I agree fully with what you said and feel your channel has a good overall variation. For me you're one of the few honest reviewers and happily say when something is trash or like with rlarrlo when their parts availability and support was shit you called them out for it instead of saying nothing like certain others.
The big brands like Arrma do still have a lot to learn why would you pay the money for their smaller 1/16 or 1/14 cars when companies like mjx and others make and sell cars much quicker and cheaper that are just as durable it's a no brainer. And as you say plenty of people enjoy those cheaper cars just as much as the more expensive one's.
Keep it up dude…fuck the haters. I love what you do. Because of you I’ve gotten into rc cars more than I ever thought I would. Thank you.
Solid points my brother, I couldn't agree with you more. Brand loyalty means nothing if the car isn't fun. Budget good times, are still good times 😁🤘
100% Bro
I would not even look at the haters I think you channel is great as it looks at people looking for good rc cars that don’t cost a lot of money and are just as much fun which is what it’s all about so keep it up 👍.
You find the trash so we don't have to. You're doing the lords work.
Thank you :)
I love it bro! im 40+ cars into the hobby and still appreciate the value these budget brands bring to the table. I like to have several ready to run for family and friends on my backyard track. wltoys124017v8 is surprisingly quick, keeps up w typhon Grom or Reflex 14t, would probably beat the 2wd MiniB
Totally agree with you. Started the hobby earlier this year with the MJX 16207 (I had seen your vids and others on this), then bought a Rlaarlo OT - and since then, I have several Arrma's, including the new Kraton pre-ordered! Honestly the MJX and Rlaarlos are excellent for the money and I still enjoy them! Great channel!
Keep up the good work man. I love your channel and the cheaper cars are more interesting to watch.
Just ignore them, haters gonna hate, i bought my first rc after watching your wltoys 144001 video, that was 3 yrs ago, from there now i have few prokits, arrmas and team corally, still i bought few cheap china rc's, its the fun factor not the brand, that what brings me to this hobby, cheers mate
What I do to combat parts availability is if I break a part. I order 2 or 3 of that part, sure you're waiting 2 weeks still but at least you'll have a couple of spares in your bag too. then when you get down to your last one order a couple more
Keep it up! I started with a MJX thanks to your reviews. Got a Big Rock to and enjoy both cars. I don’t have a local hobby shop. And you’re spot on in your analys on us who have to order all our parts.
Would love to see a review on the new Hyper Go H12y. I need a crawler in my life. 🐛
thats coming on the next vid i have both versions of the H12Y
@@beyondRC wooop! Can’t wait. 🙌🏼🍻
These "cheap Chinese trash" RCs are starting to become my new favorites. I'm feeling like you are getting way more for your money with these things!
almost always!
I appreciate your upbeat vids and love watching your channel, if I didn't like it I would leave EVERYONE is welcome to do THAT! I recently bought a WPL crawler thanks to channels like this, I own Traxxas/Element/Axial/FMS I still love my little WPL. Keep up the good work thanks
I’m a 49 year old blue collar worker rc lover and I have nearly 20 vehicles. No big name or “cheap” brands are just as good. You just have to look for the inexpensive not cheap stuff. Keep doing what you do. I’ve bought a few “cheap” one because of your reviews
Yeah Chinese cheap are a good option for newbies, but long term parts support is still a huge problem especially when you run them like 10 years or so. Think that’s the biggest issue, next to the “they used metal parts”, thanks for nothing, it’s relevant what Metall like steal or which type of aluminium. But it’s always interesting to see what the Chinese do so go ahead with it.
The DHK Maximus & JLB Cheetah got me back into the Hobby. As you said they are all Chineese made “Arrma & Traxxas are made in Taiwan”. I am for Team China.!!!Keep them coming!!!
I like that you going with cheaper RC:s as you say so many other channels have premium RC brands.
You are one of the reasons I bought a cheap Chinese trashy HNR Werewolf. I am really looking forward to getting it. my only concern at this point is replacement parts.
HNR Werewolf is also rebranded as FTX EVO30. So maybe you could get those parts?
Also, make sure to invert the gyro and don't do 3s on the stock tires. The stock rubber is strangely soft and will hit the frame ballooning at high speed causing it to crash. It will run any 1:10 wheels though.
Also, brilliantly fun car. It's my favorite, especially at dawn with the wonderful lights.
Adjust the camber if you get uneven tire wear and I've installed
the included shock collars to raise the car a bit to avoid crashes on small bumps.
Lastly, you can lower the headlights to avoid blinding with a big drill and hot glue :)
Keep doing your thing brother! Haters are going to hate! These entry level RC’s from China are “the gateway RC’s” and promote the hobby. Remember whether is a 👍 or 👎…they are still watching😉🤣
very true! Any interaction is good for the algorithm haha
I still pull the budget ones out every now and then. My MN99 needs a motor wire solder job after upgrading, but the HBX drift Mustang and WPL C24 aren't going anywhere! They may not get regular use, but always have a special place in the heart. You'll never get the thrill of 'that first time' and it usually comes from a chance RC.
Right? I can't sell my first RC's neither! I just know I'll regret that down the road. No biggy though, they're worth it for the nostalgia alone.
@@janklaassen6404 💯
You keep doing what you are doing.......fantastic channel...Ps I can have any rc car i want but the less expensive ones are more fun for me . The huge Traxxas and Arrmas usualy just sit on my bench broke most of the time. The new Rlarrlo s have been blowing it out of the park for me lately.
Completely agree with you, it's the cheap stuff that got my foot in the door, started off with a Wltoys 124017v2, 40mph out the box, loved it. Now I have Arrma Infraction, Traxxas Xmaxx, UDR and I'm saving for a racer to join my local indoor club. I wasn't prepared to spend $1000 to start with but I didn't mind the £125 on my Wltoys (with 2 batteries) to see what all the fuss was about after watching a few online videos.
Once I started I loved it, it's a great hobby, I've met loads of decent people and I couldn't wait to get me a bigger more expensive car. I just can't see why anyone would be against the Chinese companies as it gets people like me into the hobby. What with the cost of living at the moment a lot of people don't have the same disposable income they once had, so the cheaper Chinese brands become very appealing, especially as you get some great performance from a lot of these cheaper cars, just cause they're cheaper doesn't mean they're no good. My Wltoys is faster on 2s out the box than a lot of the bigger brands on 3s. 42mph out the box is really impressive if you ask me. Also they can be upgraded to do some insane speeds for not much money, you get so much more for your money than you do from the cheaper end of Traxxas and Arrma (like you said) The Traxxas and Arrma's are twice the price with half the performance, often with plastic gears, brushed motors etc
I think Traxxas and Arrma make great cars at the bigger more expensive end of the market but at the lower end they're often no way near as good as the cheaper Chinese alternatives
Thing is for me I find I get far more use out of the smaller scale stuff than the bigger 1/10+ stuff I own. They're easier to chuck in a bag and use at work on a break. The chinese brands like mjx, hbx and the ldrc drift cars are perfect for this so I own a fair few and are a damn sight cheaper than arrma grom range. So I like seeing the reviews and which I should be adding to the collection next. So please keep doing what your doing. Besides my pockets are deep enough for things that are £200+!
I have from hosim, to losi! Cheap cars are the way to go no matter how crappy they are! I really don't know many people that are going to go buy a 1000 xmaxx and hand it over to a 4 or 5 year old. My 3 year old grandson started a year or so ago with a cheap Amazon copy of a mjx or hypergo. He now has a arrma sentin brushed, latrax prerunner, and still couple cheap copies!!!!
Cheaper brands are good for the hobby. Like you said, it promotes the hobby. Wish they were that good or available when I was a kid. Yes there was Tamiya but wasn't that available where I lived. Only a few static models.
Your channel introduces me to brands and models I may not be familiar with and prices that may be within my reach. 👍
I think cheaper is great. Big brands did started small as well. Brands have to keep their name up, this will be a part of the price. Next to parts availability. So N+1 is the best option to overcome the wait for incoming parts 😅. Thnx for sharing. Cheers from the Netherlands
I’m onboard with “keep doing what YOU DO!” You said it perfectly. There’s other channels doing all the other “Expensive made in China trash” 😂
I come here to see which affordable rigs are worth my hard earned money and which ones are just junk. I appreciate you sifting though the Chinese trash to find the “affordable gems!” Example, among my fleet of high dollar race rigs I’ve got an Omni T and a HyperGo that I’m SO SATISFIED WITH because YOU found the gems worth having. Cheers, we appreciate you!!!!
Thanks :)
Hey beyondRC keep doing what you're doing and keeping doing it the way YOUR VIEWERS want you to do it because honestly that's what keeps your channel going and the haters will move on to another channel and repeat the hating there! But as one who has been in this sport/hobby for more than 40 years I like many others have had and currently do have the "knock-off" brands and some are actually pretty damn good but of course some aren't and I've also got some higher end stuff that I prefer like the team associated cars and trucks along with some arrma vehicles and yeah I do have two traxxas crawlers (but I don't really tell too many people that) even though they run pretty good. Thank you for producing great, informative and varying brands in your videos!
much appreciated thank you :)
@@beyondRC No No, Thank You for making the content that you do! as I just watched your video about the 1/20 scale truck (because I was considering buying one) and once again thanks to your very informative video I am going have to pass on this one. So I sincerely do appreciate your videos and your opinion of the varying vehicles that you test! I truly believe that you are helping and really guiding (to some degree) some of the younger people that are wanting to get into this hobby even though they might not necessarily have a big budget for it to make an informed decision of where their money would be best spent.👍 Sorry for the lengthy response but honestly man-(sorry I don't know your name), you really are making great strides in preserving our sport/hobby and I really appreciate that because not all UA-camrs are actually trying to do that. I look forward to your next video!
Ha ha. Loving Tomley's new look in your video. Keep up the good vids 😁
Hahaha you are the first to notice that’s insane 😂
Those big brand prices are killer. The cheap Chinese trash do have a lot of good RCS for a decent budget.
You do a great variety bro keep up the good work!
Thanks! Will do!
I love your channel, I've been fortunate enough at 54 years old to have an unlimited budget for RC cars, I have the top of tge line Traxxas, Losi, Arrma, etc, all types, on road, off road, drifters, whatever ...I Also enjoy my MJX, Rlaarlo, HBX RCs just as much, My go to daily rc happens to be the MJX 14303 Citreon Rally, absolutely one of my favorites, they are all fun, I work on all of my cars, and yes tge MJX takes more time, but they are one hell of a RC car, accessible parts, cheap, and Very high quality for the Price Point.
Started with a cheap WPL, then 2, then 3, lol and now I'm doing full custom Axial and traxxas builds. I like my B16 so much I tracked down a lexan M35 cab so I can make a 1/10 big brother for it 😂
well done keep the cars coming you are doing a good job and the hobby a grate favour by showing every one these cars
@beyondRC thanks for your video, but living in Vietnam very near China, it's hard and difficult for us (also very expensive) to get the known brand RC, so the easiest way is to get the China RC and enjoy, and it's good to have a large of replace parts too
cracking video and i agree with all you have said here the cheaper cars offer stunning value for money
100%
I got into the hobby about a year and a half ago with a mjx 16208. Ran that for 2 months then bought a mt10 which was my max budget for a rc car. That’s now had all the upgrades possible and a hobby wing motor and esc combo chucked init. My 4 year old son now has my mjx and going out together for a rip is one of best bonding days out we do we laughing from start to finish, think he’s getting bit bored of the little mjx cause he mostly drives my mt10 now so I’m stuck with the little mjx most of the time 😂
love this and its so important getting the little ones into the hobby!
Do what you do, much appreciated!👍🏻
First RC car MJX Hyper Go 16BM. Then Rlarrlo ROG1. Then Typhon Grom, then Big Rock, then Outcast....and picked up 3x 24scale crawlers along the way. I sure would not have dropped over 200 bucks on on an RC car starting out. Was not sure if I would even like it. So your spot on in that regard. Also, thank you for making the point about parts for big name brands are STILL made in China. So essentially you have Cheap China....and Expensive China pretty much.
pretty much but so many forget almost EVERYTHING is made in china just better quality materials sometimes and of course branding
Parts is really what I care about, I have no problem with what you're doing, great job!!
The best one Is the Jiusi MT brushless: 3s ready,46 Miles/h,comes with 3x3s lipos for only 120€ with the discount code
You know my views mate, keep up the good work👍👍👍
I do. Cheers Gary
Couldnt of put it better, 100% right. Good video and points,
cheers
Mini Maxx vs OT. Would pick the OT everyday. I think your chanel does fine. Rather have realistic reviews of cheaper stuff than getting a non realistic review of someone who gets paaid for a good review
mini maxx is not looking great right now haha
I just bought my first RC (FTX5493r) exactly that one shown in the video before you click on it with the arrow pointing saying cheap hinese↘️
If this is cheap Chinese, then that’s all I need ❤
Bought it after watched your review by the way, love your channel 🫡
Don't change a damn thing! You're fine. Ignore the whinny babies. Carry on!
Totally agree with you. And parts are not a problem. Usually when I buy a car from e.g. AE or Rlaarlo or... I just buy it together with upgrades and other parts, wich I know will brake first. And the package is still much cheaper than a big brand car. Don't get me wrong, I have Traxxas, Kyosho and LC racing too, but just because I like one specific car, not the brand. The so often named availability of parts is often a rumor. Escpecially Traxxas serves the US marked first, so in Switzerland you often have to wait months for availability. And often shipping from a european country or USA take longer and is much more expensive than shipping from China. And after some years in the hobby everybody has lots of other cars to drive with, if one is damaged. Keep on the good work!
No matter what you do, haters will hate. So you might as well do what makes you happy!
this is very true.
#DeeRc1217 $130 shipped to your door in the US, Traxxas Mini max $269, DeeRc is faster, more durable, period. Video will be dropping soon on my channel comparing these two specific RC Trucks! Love your channel, honesty and integrity. Stay up brother 👊
You do you, if people don’t like it, they can start their own channel and review what they want!!!! I’m into building Tamiya kits, others like the RTR market, there’s room for everyone!!!!
Keep up the good work I like seeing budget cars just because I never know when I would want to get one and also know which ones to stay away from
There's got to be a place in the market for lower price RC cars, that's were you start from & build up to the more premium brands, I started with Absima & FTX, which I still have, now I also have Kyosho & Traxxas, my other hobby is Air Guns, it's the same there, you can spend £100 on a budget brand(ironically most are made in China) but you spend upwards of £3k+(definitely not made in China 😁) again I have both, budget & premium, so there's always a place on UA-cam with your take on the hobby Ricky, long may it continue 😁👍
cheers :)
Hey bro keep doing your thing bud, it's better than shilling and lying for traxxass like alot if other guys, I only own 1 Chinese car(787) but me and Cleary many others enjoy your content.
Honestly I love some of the WPL and MN models as crawlers more than the bigger names. Was going to buy a Traxxas Trx4m here in Canada for Christmas. But they increase the price just before Christmas?
keep it coming my boy loves all your recommended rc cars and the mjx h8h you showed us hes got one for b-day on the way
awesome!
I started my UA-cam channel with an affordable HBX 903a which I still have. I really like the affordable rcs out there that's what got my friend into the rc hobby. I will keep buying the affordable rcs no matter what brand.
just ignore all those idiots in the comments bro, keep doin what your doin.
cheers bro
Where did you get the Jurassic Park jeep from please?
its the rlaarlo MK07
I love them they are more durable and cheaper to replace parts when and if they get Brocken , You got me into rc cars starting with cheep rc cars, I have since brought a 1:8 scale rally car, but was only £233 , I got the Redcat Acent Fusion for 399 dollars and only like taking it out in the summer, at least with cheaper cars you don’t mind taking them out all weathers and bashing them because cheep enough to buy another one
There all made in china
This should be pinned
Exactly !
Evan Tr@xxx@ss.
Or Taiwan
@@ejlucas93 yep
Seems to me the bigger brands all use Chinese parts any way. The problem with the off brands are their lack of quality control ,and the lack of original designs I would say.
i do wish they would work on their QC!
To be honest I like cheap chinese RC cars as long as they support spares and give a big smile on my ugly face.
These Chinese trucks are at a price point where I can try out crawlers ( a crummy wpl c14 for 34 bucks) and now I get to decide if I like crawlers. I would not drop 100 bucks on it so it fills a good entry level position. Are there better rigs? Sure. But not for 34 bucks.
Keep up the graft mate, enjoy watching your videos👊 I came into the hobby in October and now have 7 cars😅 some because of your reviews.
we need to realise and accecpt other peoples opinoins thanks for sharing yours because i am just getting in the hobby with 2 rc cars i have purchased
You keep doing you. I rely on you for the budget stuff even though out of my entire collection I only have one Chinese car 😂
well said, love your channel, keep up the great work, and you have a wonderful voice for podcast media.
Thank you much appreciated :)
i dont think these chinese vehicles are "trash" like some people think, they are durable and has a fantastic value for money like he says
