After watching your previous videos I went the mjx 14209 and 14210 for my son (6) and I. We hit up fields with dirt and short grass with less things to run into. Bought some 3s batteries and geez they go hard. I love how they give you some spares parts for the price. Can definately recommend. Was happy to see you rate the car highly.
I have scy16106 pro. I love it! Havent broken anything yet (i lied a bit, dog pulled spare wheel of two times). I changed esc for separate 35amp one to be sure it handles 3s and use dumbo rc radio gear. It was also okay with original electronics, maybe radio range was little short. Yesterday installed 60a esc, but havent tested it yet.
Oh man list videos tickle my fancy! Give me all your lists bra. Seriously all of them. #9 is probably my next car🤷🏽♂️. Thank you mr. double dragon for the great video 🫡
Someone else told me they switched two of their motor leads and got much more speed like that. I haven’t had a chance to try it but that would be amazing!
hi bro your content is superb, which is the best overall and durable i am new to this hobby world and after researching a bit I liked JJRC q117a from Banggood which one do you think should i buy for rough use, as a beginner and also it is hard to get these cars and its parts in my country i would like your advice and guide me to buy new one as beginner. my budget is less than 150 $. one more doubt the last car SG116 Beast Max was super tough and i liked it by seeing the performance in your review but why is it last tho i hope a best suggestion from you.
Thanks bro! Ya that SG116Beast or the JJRC Q130 are my top picks for that price range I believe. That video was not in any order so last doesn’t mean least favorite 😊 Here are both from Banggood: -Orange Car (Be sure to choose brushless): www.banggood.com/custlink/3mKPn0u1aP -Blue Car (Be sure to choose brushless): www.banggood.com/custlink/GDKHNdvIV0
Just ordered the HBX 2996a based on your passed videos, I am hoping to upgrade it in the future,are you planning to test an upgraded esc with the stock motor and run a 3S battery (we know the standard esc can’t take it 😊). You mentioned it in the comments in another video. Keep up the good work, love your videos!
@@DerbyCityRC I tested a 60a hobbywing, with those big wheels on 3 on grass its not quite enough, thermally shuts down. Looks like they have max10 for 80a or 140a, I might have to pick one up
That’s kind of surprising, but ya a higher amp should help. Grass will heat up just about any electronic system pretty quickly though in my experience.
Great videos an always! looking forward for the MJX 14210 I believe it is (the truggy style)! Wanted to check with you what you think about either getting and MJX 14209 or a Rlaarlo AM-D12 (I'm in Australia) and with exchange both end up being around AUD 300. Rlaarlo seems like a much bigger RC which could be beneficial but also not sure how easy would it be for me to get Rlaarlo spare parts when something breaks! Seems shipping from US could be expensive...
Thanks!! I definitely had a blast with the 14210, I guess you’ve seen that video by now. Man these are both awesome cars. Gotta use the paddle tires for the mjx in my opinion, but I think I may have had a little more fun with the Rlaarlo, however I believe the mjx has a lot more durability to it. Does the Rlaarlo website shop from the US? I haven’t checked but figured it was China.
Have you ever reviewed the Haiboxing 16890A If so what do you think or it ? I know that you've done the pro model but I haven't seen you do the none pro model . What's the difference in-between the standard 16890A and the pro ??
U reviewed the standard 16890 a long time ago. Like 3 years. Then the 16889A not too long after that. Then the 16889A pro, then just a few months ago, the 16890SA. There is also the 16890A which is the same as the “SA” but only 2s capable. I don’t believe there is an actual “pro” version of the 16890s, but technically the S and the SA would be “pros”. That’s a lot of letters and numbers. I hope that helped lol
I love the MJX, I am going to try different shocks as well as other tyres on it. Have you found the brake on it to be very harsh? I am asking because when I hit the brakes even when it is on 2S it quite often does a standing front flip! Must I try thicker oil for the front shocks so that the front does not dip so much when I hit the brakes?
Yes I do remember the brakes were pretty harsh, which I like! But I don’t want it to flip forward lol. Thicker oil could help a bit. The other thing is those tires are pretty grippy, which also causes it to flip easily at high speeds. Some different tires may do it good as you said!
Yes I’ve been wanting to for a while. Next will be my favorites from Amazon and a few of the pricier units will get snuck in there, but still want a dedicated video for the best pricier units I’ve got
Great list of trucks! When I first started watching I was like I hope he included a PX9200 because I feel like they don’t get any love anymore but after watching I see why
Thanks! Ya the px9200s biggest downfall are the axles. they bend SO easily. If it wasn’t for that it would likely still be on this list, though I don’t think Banggood has those brands.
@@DerbyCityRC that’s true, Ive seen/heard that’s a common issue…guess I don’t drive mine hard enough lol I didn’t check if Banggood sells them either so another valid point
I dunno that SCY16 seemed to withstand a lot of abuse in that video, it was clearing the tree & landing flat on concrete & coming out perfectly fine minus scratches, all the while it’s on friction shocks… has it still held up for you guys to this day? I’m about to order myself one.
Ya man it’s a beast. Still holding up but finally starting to get a small click from one of the differentials. We’ve driven it a lot ontop of what you’ve seen it do. It’s a tank!
@@DerbyCityRC Thank you so much! Those are not available in my country. But If I get you right, I should be looking for part number 16510R, that is around 66mm long. I watch the end of your video 5 times, and in clearly showed that your preferred one was... So I got the last JJRC in Banggood. 🤷♂
hey bro love your vids i wish you were my dad (im 40) lmao its been 20 years since i raced these things but im looking to get back into it and looking for a basher under 350$ that i can pretty upgrade everything on down the road do u have any suggestions? i was looking at the arrma typhon 3s but i cant make up my mind another one i was looking at that 350$ is the team corally spark xb6 1/8 6s
Good video😊 I need your help Which one u will recommend to me SCY 16101/16102 PRO or Hyper go 14210 I also was ordered Conquer 16102 from Aliexpres but i m waiting😊 Conquer for my son another for me Is gonna be my first rc car Tnx
Thanks! That’s a seriously tough decision, but I believe I’d go with the SCY. Just make sure it’s the brushless one, they may call it the Max, not the Pro. I believe the SCY will be more durable and has similar performance.
Number 4 HBX 16889A Pro is a classic, it is pretty harsh on the tyres, after only about five battery packs I am thinking of already getting a new pair of tyres for the rear, LOL!
I'm still working on getting my first 1/10 scale. Originally I wanted an Infraction (still don't want to spend a fortune for one) and was going to get the brushed version and upgrade it later. Just started seeing videos about WlToys 104072 and that might be the ticket. The only issue is shipping because it's a big car. It's around $200 but shipping looks like about $40 extra.
their 1/10 scale was a dud from what I heard, was anticipated by all but bad reviews on release, and the cogging and lag issues of some of the older 1/12 and 1/14 made them unusable, But I'm telling you ya gotta try the new plastic chassis & they just released the brushed version 124010, but i've been running the brushless 124008 and love it. 3s and dirt cheap. Parts compatibility is a big thing with these too - since they're a direct copy of LC racing
I responded to your email man. I do want all of these as well! Budget bashers are really starting to take off. And they seem to be holding their own against their more expensive counterparts
Hi, really like this review/ranking🤸 Do you have a recommendation for oil filled shocks for the 117b? It's in my shopping basket now on Banggood since they keep moving the delivery date of the 16208 I ordered 🥲

Do u recommend it still or somthink better?
Great list and video‼️👍👍🦾🦾🤘🤘
Thanks!! 😃
I ran 3s in my 16889a pro. Bashed around the yard and did speed runs up and down the road. I think it got around 32-34 mph.
Someone else told me they switched two of their motor leads and got much more speed like that. I haven’t had a chance to try it but that would be amazing!
Just bought itnas my first trc, was wondering whether it actually can take 3s without causing problems, would love to now so I can put in on 3s😅

16890 is still one I can fit in my backpack! And it takes so much abuse
Yup that’s a good one too, but the 16889a pro beats it out with the metal drivetrain and bigger motor. Definitely still a great car!!!

Plus of course the brakes are proportional, so you could focus on learning to feather it a bit.
@@DerbyCityRCThe MJX is a little beast even on 2S, as you said, more difficult to handle than the HBX, but loads and loads of fun!
Hey dude ! Is hbx 901a good? 😶
Love your videos ❤️❤️
It’s ok, but I much prefer the 2996a, or the new 2997a I recently reviewed. The 901a is almost exactly like the 903a.
Thanks!!!
@@DerbyCityRC @DerbyCityRC ok man 😶 thank you for quick response ❤️ In our country, thats pretty hard to find those rc cars :(

Ya the px9200s biggest downfall are the axles. they bend SO easily. If it wasn’t for that it would likely still be on this list, though I don’t think Banggood has those brands.

Haha, ya if they could just give us better axles they would be so much better!
Which one the best performance, durability, handling ?
The one I chose as my favorite. Q117 wins those categories. But will be much better with oil shocks. A close second if not a tie is probably 2996a
I dunno that SCY16 seemed to withstand a lot of abuse in that video, it was clearing the tree & landing flat on concrete & coming out perfectly fine minus scratches, all the while it’s on friction shocks… has it still held up for you guys to this day? I’m about to order myself one.

Thanks Robby!
Yes I just couldn’t believe how much I like that car! Lol
Good video😊
I need your help
Which one u will recommend to me
SCY 16101/16102 PRO or Hyper go 14210
I also was ordered Conquer 16102 from Aliexpres but i m waiting😊

Is gonna be my first rc car

Recently I thinking to buy mjx 14210 v2...is this rc car is good / value for money plzz answer me 😢
I do think it’s a good deal! Takes a little more getting used to since it’s fast but you can always slow it down a bit with the controller:
I'm still working on getting my first 1/10 scale. Originally I wanted an Infraction (still don't want to spend a fortune for one) and was going to get the brushed version and upgrade it later.

Get the brushed upgrade later, the wltoys doesnt have near the performance, you want the center diff for sure wltoys dont have it.
Ya WLToys just doesn’t do it for me. Certain models have good performance but subpar quality and low battery life when referencing my 144xxx models.
their 1/10 scale was a dud from what I heard, was anticipated by all but bad reviews on release, and the cogging and lag issues of some of the older 1/12 and 1/14 made them unusable, But I'm telling you ya gotta try the new plastic chassis & they just released the brushed version 124010, but i've been running the brushless 124008 and love it. 3s and dirt cheap.

@luvadealme that stinks but now you can get the even better car like usbsol did!
@DerbyCityRC that's my new dilemma, go for the q117 at approx £85 or make the jump to the 14209 at around £130...
