I don't think I have any shocks that fit mine, at least, none that I've found yet, but I did extend track width and switch to 17mm hexes to use thos same tyres you used in this video. I might also try and switch out the ESC as well and probably the servo as well while I'm at it. 🙂
The taller tires and wider stance will give you effectively more suspension travel so that might be all you need. I did find that the hobby wing ESC really woke it up. Let me know how it goes!
I’m waiting for arrma to drop the new exb’s I can’t keep up with every other company’s releases 😅 this truck looks fun I like the black and red reminds me of exb lol
I'm pretty happy with the design of it. It seems like these companies are finally starting to realize that they don't need to just plaster a bunch of random crap all over the outside of their cars. Definitely looks better
Several months ago when I came across your videos I thought "man that guy can't land a jump to save his life"...Then I realized you were doing it on purpose as part of your evaluation...LOL!
Yeah I actually started putting more clips of me landing properly in my videos because so many people complained about my driving :-). You're right though I do crash intentionally a lot because most modern vehicles can handle a proper landing from pretty much any height. It's what happens when they don't land properly that matters!
Great upgrade video, your vids are always great for seeing how it is to work on the rc👍 Also wanted to see the standing backflips that was shown on the promo video, either on stock or this lol, did you happen to do them accidently?
I tried in the dirt but wasn't successful. I think you need thicker center differential fluid. I'm guessing they had the center differential pretty much locked up in those test videos.
Not going to win the giveaway but that’s ok. These upgrades really woke this RC up. Should have came out the box this way. If so I would already own one.
Very informative, I was curious to see, how this truck handles and endures the bashing. What would you reckon, which one is it worth to spend around 275,- €or$. MJX10208 / TM E5HX ARR / Rlaarlo Carbon Roller or are these trucks not comparable? Cheers
I don't really have much experience with team magic cars so I can't comment on that. The OT is a pretty good truck those smaller than these. I think the 10208 is a decent vehicle though if you're looking for a first car or your only basher you might want to go with something that has a bit more time under its belt as no one really knows how this thing's going to do long-term yet.
No it's all live. No scripts no voiceovers. The only time I will not have the audio synced with the video is if I'm doing a sped up section like when I did the three tires and I speak over it.
I'd love to see some longer Arms added to this truck to make the stance wider and provide some better anti-tip performance. But time will tell what would work here for that. I love the 2997A arms on my 1/16 Hyper go
Good upgrades. A guy could definitely do better than those Techno shocks but they did work & you had them on hand . The ESC really brought that rig to life. 42mph is plenty for a basher rig. That servo would make a nice addition to almost any 1/10 scale running a stock servo from the big 2.
Yeah I'm sure there are plenty of options for shocks. These did work okay but are certainly not the best choice. I have no doubt someone else will come up with a better solution
Slipped your mind in the beginning to mention this car is a total piece of crap........I wouldn't have it if ya gave it to me. JUNK Waste of 13 minutes.
Eh maybe but I feel like you could just keep changing parts out until you had a completely different truck. To be honest this thing's fun right out of the box. None of these upgrades really needed to be done. That being said the proline tires do make it about an inch wider overall from the stock tires so that's similar to increasing the arm width.
Hi again, looks like I ordered one better I hope from your clear videos of massive failures, I have the brand new Traxxas 2024 Limited Edition X Maxx Ultimate Monster RC truck #77097-4 model with over $1,000.00 in factory upgraded aluminum performance options to help minimize the breakage from abuse that you show breaks the trucks darn near everytime. Please check it out on the web, as mine will be coming soon as I paid for it now at Flite Craft . Thank you again for this great direction on your TH-cam better truck videos YEA !!!!!
The gorilla clear dbl sided tape is real sticky . Super sticky . I still haven’t had any issues with the red m3 kind you used . Great build as always 👍. I ll bet them badlands made a world of difference .
Yeah I'm sure there are other options for double-sided tape. The bulk of my experience has been with VHB and I've had Good luck with it so I've never really tried anything else
The gorilla stuff is so strong, when I needed to remove it, I had to have a heat gun and a big thin spudger and a lot of time and patience. That stuff is nuts on porous surfaces at least.
Nice review, I'm glad to see all hex hardware but I'm still leery of these Chinese brands. You can get a Maverick Quantum2 Flux for $275 at Amain Hobbies vs $250 and waiting for the slow boat from China. The earlier Maverick Quantum trucks had some issues from what I've seen, but the newer versions have been fixed apparently which is why Amain is willing to sell them now. Would love to see you do a review of a Maverick Quantum2 Flux and compare to this MJX.
Thank you very much for doing this video bcuz I've just bought this monster truck 188$ and I was a little spectacular,, but with all your videos I'm sure i did a great buy,,,, thanks for sharing,,,and new Sub here
Great video, could you provide the measurements of the Tekno shocks? I wasn't able to find the information online. Since the MT410 shocks are quite expensive I would like to search for other compatible shocks...
Thanks for giving your expertise on why these RC's break ! I want to buy one and yet cannot see a box unit with a no limit price that won't break from simple bashing !? I would purchase the Arrma Kraton 8s or 6s or Losi DBXL -E2.0 or any other high end model, if you can help to point me in a direction that you get the value you expect for 1G or more ! Thanks for doing what you do as it certainly helps see what works and doesn't without having to learn the hard way and regret you bought into a problem.... Don't get me wrong that I do expect to replace parts that will break, yet that should not be the case from what you show me on the new Lasetnut 1/6 8ight-X and many other models.....
Best video yet on the MJX Hyper Go 10208. Too much misinformation out there on this model. Personally, at the current price point, I would give this model a miss. Better out there already.
Well hopefully the information I'm giving you is accurate. I'm getting it straight from MJX so it should be. Overall I think this is a pretty good deal. Especially at the $260 AliExpress price it undercuts a lot of the competition and has a lot to offer.
@@DoRC You're doing a great job as always fella. I actually un-followed a channel the other day regarding this car and the misinformation being spread out there.
They do they just weren't available when I first got the kit and I haven't gotten around to really messing with it since putting it together. It's just been sitting on a shelf until I grab the shocks for this video. I have them ordered now
I have beat the ever living snot out of my tekno SCT for years, like 60mph launches off ramps on asphalt and i have never broken a shock so it's impressive that you managed to! They do sell metal caps for them but i never saw a reason to do so. Perhaps it got twisted sideways by the a-arm during a bad hit and the upper rod end didn't have enough angular travel so the cap got wrenched off
Maybe though I'm not going to lie I've already popped a couple of these caps off on the MT-410 2.0. never had a problem on any of the others from tekno So not sure why.
Those wheels are awesome, the way you can change the hex. And I've changed all my cars over 1/14 scale to EC5 and it makes a difference! I always tape my battery leads when I cut each one. I'd also love to win a servo😁
Ive been thinking about getting a 1\10 mt just to bash around and not worry about as much as my heavy ass 17.5 lbs sledge that im into for about $1500 , smh.. idk what i was thinking 😢
Thanks man for doing these RC upgrades in a way that we can ALL try to accomplish the same thing without wasting money....these things are expensive enough!
Maybe though it seems like it takes a long time for new companies to gain traction in the hobby. TC has been making some really good cars they've got strong aftermarket support and they've been doing it for a while. They're just now starting to seemingly be taken seriously by The mainstream in the hobby.
I have a 3s armma typhon man they reallt dont make much in upgrades. And a 3s 2wd rustler bad ass. Too fast to handle and way to much wheel wobble. Just bought new rpm hubs front and back think i wore um out and some new bearings. But this thing looks pretty decent.
Hi Do Watch you all the time. When I have issues I look up your videos cuz you're so thorough about everything I can see everything and I don't have to take it apart You have a lot of knowledge I enjoy watching all your videos
Dude your channel is great man i actually look forward for new vids to drop! Between the information and testing you do with these trucks it takes the guessing out of buying/upgrading our touys lol . One of a kind brother! I do need a servo btw the motor in my spectrum just hit tha dirt, go figure tho right! Take it easy
Those bent shocks will probably be very common with the amount of flex that chassis has. All that plastic will bend a lot more than metal shocks. Might actually be a good candidate for some 3s Arrma plastic shocks.
I might agree except I popped the caps on the same shocks in their original vehicle which has an aluminum chassis. I think it's just a weakness of the shocks.
Could you do a video on differential fluid and effects? I don't have a full understanding of the effects, thickness, and types of l7brication you have used in different builds.
I wouldn't mind doing one but I don't think I'm the best person for it. I am pretty tolerant to different suspension and differential tuning and I don't have a lot of experience doing fine tuning like a racer would. I usually just kind of throw whatever feels right in there and deal with the consequences :-)
Great video as usual and i like what you did with thing! Looks like a beast! i was happy to see that esc you used as I've been considering grabbing one of those combos for quite a while now 😅
Also, i think it is always good to know the weight of the car. IMO there must be about 1s per kg to have some good fun with a monster/stunt truck style car
I'd say it depends on what you already have. If you're buying your first basher or a truck that's going to be your primary basher I would say get the outcast. It's a great truck and parts and upgrades will be more readily available. If you already have some cars and you're just looking to experiment with something new I'd say get this. It's cheaper and pretty fun.
Maybe. If the ESC is capable of doing data logging you can use that to see what kind of current drawings but the other way would just be to run it hard and then put your hand on the connector. It feels warm or hot that means it's dissipating a lot of energy and probably is undersized.
Great video but man, the jump cuts are destroying my brain and ears. Please leave some breathing room between sentences, otherwise it's quite annoying to listen to more than a couple minutes at a time.
I appreciate the feedback. I could definitely understand you feeling that way though I will say that I've been making videos like this for a while now and people do generally seem to like it. I don't think any editing style is going to be best for everyone though.
Hello, merci pour cette vidéo je pense que ce mjx 10208 vient directement concurrencer l Omni Terminator de Rlaarlo en étant plus gros, PLS grand, plus puissant, plus solide et peut-être aussi amusant.
Depending on what pricing is like where you live they definitely could be direct competition for each other. I think overall the OT is a better built car though this one is turning out to be pretty darn tough!
Yeah I think it just depends on what you're sensitive to. I'm so used to fast servos that I find I actually have trouble controlling the vehicle when the servo is too slow because it always feels like I'm fighting it.
Great video. I always learn something from your videos. I’m going to try one of those servo horns you mentioned on a hammer rey to see if it improves handling…🤞
It may or may not. In this case the stock servo horn was physically loose which meant that it would never center the same way twice but if the servo horn you already have doesn't have any problems upgrading it probably isn't going to make much difference. That being said it's a cheap thing to try so go for it :-)
This is what RC is all about, 60% of buyers will be perfectly happy with an RC out the box, meanwhile the other 40% of us will swap out everything we don't like & fit something else to make it do what we want it to.! I'm usually in the 40% btw.! I often start swapping things before I even put a lipo in, especially if it's not a crawler & comes brushed.! 😉 😉 😁😁 Cheers mate, another fantastic video.!! (I just watched your Associated Hoonitruck video from a couple of years ago, you've really come a long way with your channel, it's awesome to see.!)

Right up there with Tomley, Kev, Beyond, Razor, Thunder, RC Driver, Raz, RC Kicks & the rest.!! 👍 👍 👍 Your enthusiasm, passion & knowledge is just bursting out of every video.!!! I'd like to tell you something about myself just now... I'm disabled & I suffer from pretty bad PTSD, anxiety disorder & depression, because of that I often struggle to do things for fun... My illness dominates my mind, I get wrapped up in negativity & from where my head is often at, it's hard to imagine going out, enjoying myself & having fun.!! The distance from feeling depressed & negative to feeling care free & positive often seems unimaginably huge without any way of even getting there.!!! This is where people like yourself provide a valuable service to people like me... A service that you probably have no idea that you're providing.! Watching positive & fun videos like yours can sometimes be what it takes to get me feeling better about myself to the point of putting my boots on, grabbing an RC or two or three 😉 & going outside.!! I see YOU bashing an RC, I look across the room at MY RCs & I'm able to imagine myself doing the same thing & that distance often doesn't seem so huge.!! Sometimes I'll come back in after only a short time because I just couldn't find my Mojo, but that's okay because I can still tell myself that "At least I tried" & I feel just that little bit better about myself.!! That in & of itself is an achievement.!! But other times I'll go out after feeling terrible & have an ABSOLUTELY AWESOME TIME.!!! 👍 👍 👍😁😁😁 For that my friend..

Yeah there's definitely a lot of money and upgrades here but keep in mind you don't need to do any of this to have fun. It's a pretty cool truck out of the box
It definitely made it snappier but for general use the stock ESC is pretty decent. The programmability is nice but at least in my experience once you do initial adjustments to an ESC you rarely touch it so I'm not sure how much of an advantage it really is long-term.
It doesn't affect the c rating of the battery itself but it can affect the amount of power it can actually deliver so in effect kind of. The connector is a point of resistance and it's kind of like sticking a light bulb in the middle of the wiring. It will turn some of the energy coming from the battery into heat and the smaller the connector the worse that effect will be.
Yeah I've never been super impressed with their smaller cars. They are durable but don't really handle very well and are often a pain to work on. This one definitely seems to be a bit of a step above.
When I had a ec5 connectors I could never get them clicked in. I’ve been using xt90 anti spark on everything for years but with so many brands using ec5/ic5 I keep entertaining a switch. I just hate the sparking. All my esc connectors look brand new because of the anti spark tech, and you’re supposed to replace esc connectors about every 500 cycles with sparking connectors.
Yeah I normally use anti-Spark XT90s and QS8s but the ESC I put in already had an EC5 on it which is the sole reason why I ended up using an EC5 on the battery:)
@@TheflyingkiwiRC yea I’m not doing that. One pair of IC5 is the same cost as FIVE PAIRS of xt90 anti spark or ten pairs of sparking type. Horizon can suck my dick for that. If anything. I’d get a few SC5s to start. I guess IC5 isn’t bad if you but a bulk pack but I’d be pissed the day I was one connector short and had to spend $60 to not get price gouged. Also, with the few times I’ve used IC5, I’ve melted the connector in half of them, so I think the plastic they use is shit. I’ve never melted a amass connector
Well according to my contact at MJX what you saw in the original video and what the other reviewers have is what they are shipping. They're is no V1 or V2 it's just this version.
@DoRC yea i cant afford any new rc at this point in life and im ok with that keeping a roof over my family's head is the most important thing to me right now hit a really rough spot in life and pretty much had to sell most of my rcs off 30 + years of collecting is all but gone i have 4 trucks left that are all up for sale still but gotta do what i gotta. Thanks.
ARRMA, hpi and I think even red cat have been doing waterproof receiver boxes years ago so I don’t know why suddenly these companies stopped. Sounds more like being cheap
From what I've heard most companies don't Do it because the obvious waterproof box solution is patented by Traxxas and they sue people for it if they use it.
@@dylanwhite6539 Well Arrma avoided the patent by using a different style of seal for the wires through the patent specifically called out a clamping style seal on the wires and armor uses a sliding foam style seal. I'm not really aware of any other Horizon brands that have waterproof boxes
Yeah the part where you've got one pin done and your soldering the other one on always gives me a little bit of the pucker factor. I've made contact a few times and it's pretty spectacular.
This one's actually pretty good as long as the screws on the rear latch are tight. I think most of the issues on this particular model occurred because of loose latch screws.
Comment: whoe,,, maybe you have a video on soldering? You skipped installing the bullet popping them into the plastic carrier, after soldering it together. i have a hella time popping them in. i tried the compressor flywheel installer thingy. no go. What are you doing to pop it in place. am i missing something? Great vid brou. great comments and review. Have Fun
I have one in the works. These specific ones pop in easily from the back with just a push from a screwdriver. I've heard of others that were really difficult though I haven't actually experienced that myself.
@@DoRC maybe the cheap ones like i buy are crap. maybe you're buying good ones and that's the difference. i have crushed them trying to get them to pop in. i will buy different brand next time, maybe you got the right ones. have fun
I guess I am going to have to get me one of these. I was worried about the ride hight but after seeing this it's kind of a simple fix! Give me that servo!
Yeah it seems to handle the extra down travel pretty easily though The best way to increase ride height in my opinion is just to go with bigger tires. The 2.8 Badlands seem like a great option.
I really like that you take the cars apart before driving them. It’s important to know what we’re buying! You rock dude!
Yeah I'd be taking them apart either way so might as well bring you guys along for the ride :-)
I don't think I have any shocks that fit mine, at least, none that I've found yet, but I did extend track width and switch to 17mm hexes to use thos same tyres you used in this video. I might also try and switch out the ESC as well and probably the servo as well while I'm at it. 🙂
The taller tires and wider stance will give you effectively more suspension travel so that might be all you need. I did find that the hobby wing ESC really woke it up. Let me know how it goes!

Hey hey hello.!! just want to thank you again for the Suzuki Jimny giveaway. I could use that for an upgrade😂
Glad you're enjoying!
I have a 3s armma typhon man they reallt dont make much in upgrades. And a 3s 2wd rustler bad ass. Too fast to handle and way to much wheel wobble. Just bought new rpm hubs front and back think i wore um out and some new bearings. But this thing looks pretty decent.
Yeah overall it's a pretty cool car. It's definitely not without its shortcomings as outlined in the first video but for the price it's good
Hi Do
Watch you all the time.
When I have issues I look up your videos cuz you're so thorough about everything I can see everything and I don't have to take it apart
You have a lot of knowledge I enjoy watching all your videos
Awesome glad you enjoy!
I love seeing you take everything apart, really helps me understand how things work. I really enjoy your vids!
Awesome glad you're enjoying :-)
Dude your channel is great man i actually look forward for new vids to drop! Between the information and testing you do with these trucks it takes the guessing out of buying/upgrading our touys lol . One of a kind brother! I do need a servo btw the motor in my spectrum just hit tha dirt, go figure tho right! Take it easy
Awesome glad you're enjoying! I really love making these videos and interacting with you guys so keep watching and commenting :-)
Great upgrades. Same esc I’m putting into hbx 2995.
It is probably the best budget ESC you can get.
Those bent shocks will probably be very common with the amount of flex that chassis has. All that plastic will bend a lot more than metal shocks. Might actually be a good candidate for some 3s Arrma plastic shocks.
I might agree except I popped the caps on the same shocks in their original vehicle which has an aluminum chassis. I think it's just a weakness of the shocks.
Could you do a video on differential fluid and effects? I don't have a full understanding of the effects, thickness, and types of l7brication you have used in different builds.
I wouldn't mind doing one but I don't think I'm the best person for it. I am pretty tolerant to different suspension and differential tuning and I don't have a lot of experience doing fine tuning like a racer would. I usually just kind of throw whatever feels right in there and deal with the consequences :-)
Great video as usual and i like what you did with thing! Looks like a beast! i was happy to see that esc you used as I've been considering grabbing one of those combos for quite a while now 😅
It's not a perfect ESC but I think it's the best value for money on the budget side.
Also, i think it is always good to know the weight of the car. IMO there must be about 1s per kg to have some good fun with a monster/stunt truck style car
Good call. I need to start weighing them and putting it in the videos.
Nice upgrades. Contemplating this or outcast v2.5
I'd say it depends on what you already have. If you're buying your first basher or a truck that's going to be your primary basher I would say get the outcast. It's a great truck and parts and upgrades will be more readily available. If you already have some cars and you're just looking to experiment with something new I'd say get this. It's cheaper and pretty fun.
Another great video. Always looks forward to your videos. Very informative.
Thanks Glad you enjoy!
Is there any way to know if it ever consumed more than 60A and changing connector made any sense?
Maybe. If the ESC is capable of doing data logging you can use that to see what kind of current drawings but the other way would just be to run it hard and then put your hand on the connector. It feels warm or hot that means it's dissipating a lot of energy and probably is undersized.
Great video but man, the jump cuts are destroying my brain and ears. Please leave some breathing room between sentences, otherwise it's quite annoying to listen to more than a couple minutes at a time.
I appreciate the feedback. I could definitely understand you feeling that way though I will say that I've been making videos like this for a while now and people do generally seem to like it. I don't think any editing style is going to be best for everyone though.
Hello, merci pour cette vidéo je pense que ce mjx 10208 vient directement concurrencer l Omni Terminator de Rlaarlo en étant plus gros, PLS grand, plus puissant, plus solide et peut-être aussi amusant.
Depending on what pricing is like where you live they definitely could be direct competition for each other. I think overall the OT is a better built car though this one is turning out to be pretty darn tough!
I'm too afraid to use a driver with the Badlands hexes. Don't trust me that much so, hand screwing for me 😅
Check out the video where I modified the no cry driver. After modification it has a setting that's gentle enough even for the smallest screws.
Running gtr shocks and badlands on my stampede 4x4 vxl great setup
Yeah I really like these Badlands. I've put them on a lot of different vehicles and I don't think I've ever been disappointed in them.
i like that you gave this car a fair shot, no rc is perfect out the box and this platform seems solid as hell
I agree. I was not easy on this thing and it's pretty rare for a car to make it all the way through my evaluation without breaking at all.
I totally agree with you on the Amazon servos, they are somewhat powerful, but very slow. Still worth the money
Yeah I think it just depends on what you're sensitive to. I'm so used to fast servos that I find I actually have trouble controlling the vehicle when the servo is too slow because it always feels like I'm fighting it.
Team corally for the win! Mjx stepping things up tho.
TC definitely has been making moves lately!
Great video. I always learn something from your videos. I’m going to try one of those servo horns you mentioned on a hammer rey to see if it improves handling…🤞
It may or may not. In this case the stock servo horn was physically loose which meant that it would never center the same way twice but if the servo horn you already have doesn't have any problems upgrading it probably isn't going to make much difference. That being said it's a cheap thing to try so go for it :-)
Great video dude keep it up...
Thanks glad you enjoyed :-)
I wish I had that servoooooo
Drawing will be soon :-)
Love that you did this but I'm surprised at the price, having to upgrade that much is a lot to make an ok car acceptable
The upgrades were fun but I don't think they're necessary. This truck is actually pretty good right out of the box.
This is what RC is all about, 60% of buyers will be perfectly happy with an RC out the box, meanwhile the other 40% of us will swap out everything we don't like & fit something else to make it do what we want it to.!
I'm usually in the 40% btw.!
I often start swapping things before I even put a lipo in, especially if it's not a crawler & comes brushed.! 😉 😉 😁😁
Cheers mate, another fantastic video.!!
(I just watched your Associated Hoonitruck video from a couple of years ago, you've really come a long way with your channel, it's awesome to see.!)
Stay safe out there mate & the very best wishes from Scotland 🏴 🙏 ❤️ 📻 🕹️ 🔋 🚗 🚖 🚕 🚔 🚚 🚙 🚘 🚓 🚒 🚑 🚐 🚎 🚤 🚁 🛩️ 👍 👍 👍
Yeah it's crazy watching some of those older videos. I would hope after 250 videos I've gotten better :-)
@@DoRC You have mate.!! 👍 👍 👍
Your's has become one of my favorite RC channels nowadays.!
Right up there with Tomley, Kev, Beyond, Razor, Thunder, RC Driver, Raz, RC Kicks & the rest.!! 👍 👍 👍
Your enthusiasm, passion & knowledge is just bursting out of every video.!!!
I'd like to tell you something about myself just now...
I'm disabled & I suffer from pretty bad PTSD, anxiety disorder & depression, because of that I often struggle to do things for fun...
My illness dominates my mind, I get wrapped up in negativity & from where my head is often at, it's hard to imagine going out, enjoying myself & having fun.!!
The distance from feeling depressed & negative to feeling care free & positive often seems unimaginably huge without any way of even getting there.!!!
This is where people like yourself provide a valuable service to people like me... A service that you probably have no idea that you're providing.!
Watching positive & fun videos like yours can sometimes be what it takes to get me feeling better about myself to the point of putting my boots on, grabbing an RC or two or three 😉 & going outside.!!
I see YOU bashing an RC, I look across the room at MY RCs & I'm able to imagine myself doing the same thing & that distance often doesn't seem so huge.!!
Sometimes I'll come back in after only a short time because I just couldn't find my Mojo, but that's okay because I can still tell myself that "At least I tried" & I feel just that little bit better about myself.!!
That in & of itself is an achievement.!!
But other times I'll go out after feeling terrible & have an ABSOLUTELY AWESOME TIME.!!! 👍 👍 👍😁😁😁
For that my friend.. I absolutely thank you from the bottom of my heart.!!
I feel it's important to give thanks & credit where it's deserved & you deserve it mate.!
THANK YOU SO MUCH.!
Please stay safe out there & the very best wishes from Scotland 🏴 🙏 ❤️ 📻 🕹️ 🔋 🚗 🚖 🚕 🚔 🚚 🚙 🚘 🚓 🚒 🚑 🚐 🚎 🚤 🚁 🛩️ 👍 👍 👍
Ooh, love the new shocks! Haven't seen it rip yet, so hopefully they work as good as they look
Yeah they're not too bad.
This seems like a good trucks.. only thing i dont like is if i need parts ill have to get them from china and that can take a long time.
Yeah unfortunately parts availability on vehicles like this is always going to be a bit of a concern especially long-term.
I think that servo could be great for my Redcat Machete.
Yeah it would probably be a decent step up from stock.
hi, it's not just upgrade it's just a new RC ;) for 300 € more !
Yeah there's definitely a lot of money and upgrades here but keep in mind you don't need to do any of this to have fun. It's a pretty cool truck out of the box
keep up the good content man love watching your vids have a good 4th of july
Thanks you too!
Thanks for your awesome video, its great to see what you can upgrade to get more out of our hobby!
Glad you enjoyed and thanks for watching :-)
Nice little truck. First upgrade video I've seen. 😊
Yeah it's only been out a little while.
Stil think ill pass on the hypergo 1\10. Looks decent though
Yeah I can understand that. There's a lot of competition in this area of the industry
Thanks for the vid, very innovative upgrades! 😁
Thanks Glad you enjoyed!
I would like to win the servo, becouse i need one for my rustler 4x4👍👍👍
It would definitely be an upgrade from that stock servo!
Already watched bro! Lol Thanks for the heads up tho.
Thanks for watching!
Did the ESC upgrade make much of a difference? Considering buying but a shame you loose the bluetooth programmability. Cheers
It definitely made it snappier but for general use the stock ESC is pretty decent. The programmability is nice but at least in my experience once you do initial adjustments to an ESC you rarely touch it so I'm not sure how much of an advantage it really is long-term.
@@DoRC Thank you sir, incredibly helpful to get your thoughts on this. Consistently the most comprehensive RC coverage on TH-cam 🙂🙏
That servo would be a great upgrade for my MonsterPede!
Sounds like a good use case. I'll be doing the giveaway soon.
Sup sup👍🏾👊🏾✌🏾
Thanks for watching!
Does the xt60 plug effect the C rating on the battery?
It doesn't affect the c rating of the battery itself but it can affect the amount of power it can actually deliver so in effect kind of. The connector is a point of resistance and it's kind of like sticking a light bulb in the middle of the wiring. It will turn some of the energy coming from the battery into heat and the smaller the connector the worse that effect will be.
RowBoat Cop Vs. The Turninator
Lol
epic video, youre very well spoken and easy to watch.
Thanks Glad you enjoyed :-)
Can you share with me the link to the shock absorbers please?
They're the kit shocks for the MT410 2.0.
Hoping to see other versions and designs with this size! Great review btw!
Yeah it'll be interesting to see what different styles they come up with using the same chassis.
What are the little adjustable small pliers you use in a lot of your videos?
Knipex pliers wrench. Not cheap but absolutely worth it!
You were really quick. I was not expecting this upgrade video sooner than a week
Yeah I was really curious to see how it would handle the extra stress so got right to it :-)
This! 😅
:)
nice video! I have the little brother 16208.
Yeah I've never been super impressed with their smaller cars. They are durable but don't really handle very well and are often a pain to work on. This one definitely seems to be a bit of a step above.
That car is badass with those upgrades it’s came alive
It's pretty fun out of the box too but yeah this definitely woke it up
Thank you for the detailed explanations
Thanks for watching!
I'm looking forward to getting that new mjx
I think you'll like it :-)
Been looking at one of these and looks like a great car for me and my boy.
Yeah for the price it's a pretty decent deal.
Looks like a blast, love when you can see the dust/dirt rip up through the grass like that at the beginning of the rip session lol looks so epic
Yeah I really like doing the slow-mo stuff!
When I had a ec5 connectors I could never get them clicked in. I’ve been using xt90 anti spark on everything for years but with so many brands using ec5/ic5 I keep entertaining a switch. I just hate the sparking. All my esc connectors look brand new because of the anti spark tech, and you’re supposed to replace esc connectors about every 500 cycles with sparking connectors.
Yeah I normally use anti-Spark XT90s and QS8s but the ESC I put in already had an EC5 on it which is the sole reason why I ended up using an EC5 on the battery:)
Use an IC5 connector instead. Super easy to solder, no clicking on required 😂
@@TheflyingkiwiRC yea I’m not doing that. One pair of IC5 is the same cost as FIVE PAIRS of xt90 anti spark or ten pairs of sparking type. Horizon can suck my dick for that. If anything. I’d get a few SC5s to start. I guess IC5 isn’t bad if you but a bulk pack but I’d be pissed the day I was one connector short and had to spend $60 to not get price gouged. Also, with the few times I’ve used IC5, I’ve melted the connector in half of them, so I think the plastic they use is shit. I’ve never melted a amass connector
i been waiting on that truck i was pumped when it dropped then all the v1 v2 stuff so ill wait lol thanks for the great vid and awesome chance
Well according to my contact at MJX what you saw in the original video and what the other reviewers have is what they are shipping. They're is no V1 or V2 it's just this version.
@DoRC yea i cant afford any new rc at this point in life and im ok with that keeping a roof over my family's head is the most important thing to me right now hit a really rough spot in life and pretty much had to sell most of my rcs off 30 + years of collecting is all but gone i have 4 trucks left that are all up for sale still but gotta do what i gotta. Thanks.
Thanks for another great video and build
You're welcome thanks for watching!
ARRMA, hpi and I think even red cat have been doing waterproof receiver boxes years ago so I don’t know why suddenly these companies stopped. Sounds more like being cheap
From what I've heard most companies don't Do it because the obvious waterproof box solution is patented by Traxxas and they sue people for it if they use it.
@@DoRC mainly curious why arrma and the other horizon brands are getting away with it. They’re a more viable target than brands like WOV
@@dylanwhite6539 Well Arrma avoided the patent by using a different style of seal for the wires through the patent specifically called out a clamping style seal on the wires and armor uses a sliding foam style seal. I'm not really aware of any other Horizon brands that have waterproof boxes
Cool upgrades. Always get nervous wiring up lipos. 😂 not had an issue so far.
Yeah the part where you've got one pin done and your soldering the other one on always gives me a little bit of the pucker factor. I've made contact a few times and it's pretty spectacular.
@@DoRC QS8’s are the worst. Plus you’ve got 500 in the lipo. 😫😫
The car looks pretty cool after the modification
It's actually pretty good even before the mods.
Like the upgrades cool truck love your videos
Glad you're enjoying and thanks for watching!
I wonder what arrma 6s shocks would fit it. Typhon maybe
I took a look at a couple I had on hand and they were too long.
@@DoRC the vorteks has the same issue. The shocks are just odd enough of a length
I hate clipless bodys they always come off!
This one's actually pretty good as long as the screws on the rear latch are tight. I think most of the issues on this particular model occurred because of loose latch screws.
Comment: whoe,,, maybe you have a video on soldering? You skipped installing the bullet popping them into the plastic carrier, after soldering it together. i have a hella time popping them in. i tried the compressor flywheel installer thingy. no go. What are you doing to pop it in place. am i missing something? Great vid brou. great comments and review. Have Fun
I have one in the works. These specific ones pop in easily from the back with just a push from a screwdriver. I've heard of others that were really difficult though I haven't actually experienced that myself.
@@DoRC maybe the cheap ones like i buy are crap. maybe you're buying good ones and that's the difference. i have crushed them trying to get them to pop in. i will buy different brand next time, maybe you got the right ones. have fun
@readeracingRC get the amass ones on amazon. Cheap connectors are never a good idea.
Love love love thanks for the servo champion
Drawing will be soon :-)
I guess I am going to have to get me one of these. I was worried about the ride hight but after seeing this it's kind of a simple fix! Give me that servo!
Yeah it seems to handle the extra down travel pretty easily though The best way to increase ride height in my opinion is just to go with bigger tires. The 2.8 Badlands seem like a great option.
@DoRC great entertaining video btw!
Looks like rear suspension gets bump steer? Lol
Yes it also has some bump steer. Doesn't seem to negatively impact anything though
Looks like rear suspension gets bump steer? Lol
Yep it has a little bit.

Yes there's a little
