These cars are oem from another brand called SCY (suchiyu). The drivetrain is identical to another older popular rc car xinlehong q901. However they changed the steel material and 14t pinion/50t spur to 18t pinion/46t spur (brushed version still 14/50). Q901 was as durable as hbx 16889 series except the weak metal spur that will strip on 3s bash. However i find q901 handling is slightly better than hbx. You are definitely the most underrated rc TH-camr I've seen. Awesome video and great content!
The orange one definitely!! Out of the orange and blue- now Frankenstein is on another level!! That's a must build for sure!- Definitely the most performacy one‼️😁👍👍🦾🦾🤘🤘
Awesome video Evan! All the great videos take weeks and months to make! No worries there, and now this is among them! I couldn’t agree more about your feelings of each of these cars. The Su Chi Yu cars are way underrated. They just need to come with slightly better wheels n tyres as well as oil filled shocks. That Frankenstein-beast you made is super sick as well. Love that wider stance and those HyperGo wheels and red letter tires! Very nice! Great video bro-seff! I enjoyed every second!😎👊🏼✌🏼🏁
Cool video. The q130 definitely looks the best, but I gotta admit I did a body swap (and a few other mods)on mine to help it perform better at the track I play at. I used q903 metal shocks, changed out the tires, changed out the esc and receiver (stock had a bad throttle delay) and put on the lighter truggy body. I was surprised to see your q130 had plastic knuckles and hub carriers, the one I bought came with the metal parts. Thanks again for another awesome video.
Thanks!! Plenty of possibilities with the q130 for sure! Ya someone else said theirs were metal too. Mine is probably close to a year old now, so maybe they’ve just changed it since then. Thanks again man!
What tires did you go with? I accidentally ordered the wrong ones, so mines running some 96mm ones that look huge on it. Stock is only 82mm. You wouldn’t happen to know the pinion pitch though?
70mm eye to eye shocks will fit the sg116 / 16102 platform and add some travel / ground clearance. Also metal pull rods upgrade will make the steering and front suspension better, because the plastic ones will rub a bit from the increased travel.
Informative videos thanks to them I understood the basics of rc a little, thank you, also with their help I chose this year at once everything I had wanted for a long time, a car, a boat, a vertical, batteries, suspension, rubber.
Awesome video man! These are little monsters in disguise. Noah was excited to see himself on here. Thanks for putting us on. I can't wait to do it again. BEARD!!
Thanks dude! Yes they are, and we will definitely do it again. Maybe when it’s a bit warmer 🤣. I go out to make videos but I sure go as quick as I can cuz I’ve got minutes before my hands freeze stiff lol Beard! 😃
It is man!! I love these! Thanks!! I finished that Frankenstein here if you want to see how it turned out: th-cam.com/video/YxC-3ZMDYx8/w-d-xo.htmlsi=p85LqkV_y1vef2gX
That orange one has looked really good to me. I first saw it on your video where you ran it stock out the box. Been in my queue ever since. I was Worried I wouldn’t be able to find parts but honestly I’m not sure I care about part availability anymore. I just saw you make this car drift into a wheelie. It seems to have that “ IT” factor. Anyway Thanks as usual for all the awesome rc content, knowledge and tips. ✌🏼
Man ya that drift into a wheelie was epic! I couldn’t do that with the original tires but with these cheap upgrades!! Ya! Still not bad with the stock tires but these are way better. All the parts are available at Suchiyu.com if you do ever break anything 👍👍
I’ve got the orange one and I love it, when it works😂 I submerged it on accident and the esc went out. Bought a replacement and it lasted maybe 10 minutes and was done. Mines got some massive 96mm wheels on it and hex extension to keep it from flipping as easy with the taller tires. And oil shocks.
Great Vid! I have the same JJRC Q130 (orange brushless SCT) I also replaced the friction shocks with oil shocks and it transformed the truck! So much damn fun and super durable! Mine has survived some decent sends at the skate park muliple times! Agree about the wheels/tyres, they perform OK but I cracked and damaged three wheels from power sliding into kerbs at full speed no less. Had a screw or two back out from the steering links but a dab of Loctite and longer screws solved that issue. Curiously mine came with the metal knuckles not plastic like yours. About to order some new wheels so thanks for the link. The only two thing I don't like about this truck is the position of the on/off button adjacent to the ESC heatsink (I'm always burning my fingers turning the truck off after a run) The other thing is the connectors for the body lights. They are so tiny and hard to connect! I also own a HyperGo 14210 but I always seem to grab the JJRC Q130 for a bash. It's easier to control, fast, durable, great value for money and most importantantly more fun !
Thanks! Interesting, I’m glad they’re metal knuckles now. My model is probably almost a year old so I guess they improved it!! My blue one is only about 4-5 months old. Yes I do like my mjx 14210 but these models control the power much better and are more durable like you said! 🔥
@DerbyCityRC it does get hot on 2s and 3s. I mostly run on a decent 2s with high C as that's plenty for most driving situations. When I do run 3s, I take the 2 spare wheels off the back of the truck to help keep the front down. I'm in Oz and it's currently summer so the electrics do run hot!
more power to the hbx is certainly in place. it does not back flip easily even with the big tires.Hope the power will change that. The other two looks like fun. definatly worth the price.
For the bluecar I bought a couple of 2S 2000mah 25C from Hosim, they fit great and work very well. I dont get it to wheelie a lot but it might be the concrete Agreed. It would be good to know which Lipos he used here.
The q117 easily, now the 16889a PRO is pretty close and will have easier spare part acquiring. The JJRC is faster easily just as durable if not more, and you can still get all the parts, just from a few specific sites so far. Probably pretty equal value.
Thanks man! Ya that’s cool! The previous owner left them when we moved into the house a bit over a year ago, so we’re somewhat new to it. Actually his junky coop allowed a raccoon in, so all but one survivor, we bought and raised. Fully rebuilt the coop and Godzilla couldn’t get in it now 🤣
The orange one looks the most fun! I actually found the orange one on temu 😂 brushless motor and all. Cant wait for it to be here. Great review! I was really digging that frankenstien. I want to build a frankenstien sometime too. I miss my 901a, I do. It jumped pretty high over the smallest jumps for me so im hoping that the orange will possibly have some similarity in that aspect but overall. Yeah, i absolutely love this video. Ty for recommending it. Appreciate it. If you have any other recommendations on mods for the orange or even for a wltoys 124017 please let me know. Im newer to the rc world.
I have the blue bodied car myself. I put a set of wltoys 14th scale oil shocks on and it drives like a totally different car with those on it. Got the full set of 4 for $5 on an AliExpress sale back during the summer. The little bit of jumping I did it wasn't bouncy on landing at all, just soaked it up and asked for more. I did have an issue with either the motor or ESC beginning to crap out on me. I'm planning to replace both before spring comes and it's warm enough to get out and run. Thinking about using the updated hyper go ESC and motor that are set up for the ridiculous speed hack and 3s compatible.
Awesome video, love your channel. I am new to RC and now I enjoy watching your videos as much as I enjoy my little HBX 16889! I already want new model and now I have no idea which one to pick. I can get HBX 2105A for $60 which is an awesome deal, but now you've got me wanting a Q117 (currently at ~$80 on aliexpress). Also would be nice to get something bigger for a change. XLF X03 or HBX 2996a both look like a lot of fun, definitely more expensive though... Man, I want them all! Anyways, keep rocking mate, can't wait for more videos!
Thanks bro!! I definitely like the q117 over the 2105a, just make sure you’re getting the brushless version. And the 2996a is ten times better than the XLF or any Hosim. I understand wanting them all!! 😄
@@DerbyCityRC thanks, I ordered Q117 :D Third one will be something 1/10th scale. I just keep telling my wife they're for the kid, but he's only 2 so she gets suspicious 🤣
Awesome video as always! What size shocks and tires for the orange one? I Bought the orange one after watching your videos, but mine broke almost immediately 😢 I believe the rear differential locked up and not sure what to do but also want to upgrade the shocks and tires.. but I can seem to get the links to work for me. Anybody that could help by telling me the size would be awesome! Thanks new but trying to learn ;)
That’s crazy yours broke so fast! Have you found the actual issue? I’m not in my shop right now and the listing does not show the tire size, however they are the smaller of the two sets of tires that come with the HyperGo 14209 . The shocks are around 66 mm long. Hopefully this helps!
I installed upgraded shocks which had zero oil in them...but even after adding oil they still are nothing compared to my mjx hypergo shocks...i spend a couple of hours this morning trying to figure out what the deal was with this beautiful looking upgrade shocks..they just are not designed very well...my wltoys and hyper go shocks are 10 x better...i really think your blue truck bounces because those shocks are not working as well as the other trucks..best way is to take shocks off and remove springs..its crazy how the right springs and shocks make insane difference. 😊
Hi mate am enjoying buying rc staff getting ready 4 the summer 2 cold now .does the 2996a use a 540 motor like on the mt10.I went 4 an rb10 team associated i like the simplicity onf 2wd easy 2 work on
@DerbyCityRC Can't wait to see it man! Your channel really got me into these HBX's and smaller scale RC's. It's going to be fun at our indoor track through the winter here in MN where we can't bash outside as often due to the subzero temps. I got the 16890SA a few weeks ago and my 3100A was supposed to arrive today but got delayed until tomorrow. Hopefully it arrives in the AM so I can rip at the track for a bit before they close.
I love my scy 16 scale truggy...one issue is the servo will not center..my little race car servo centers much better..i experemented with tightening and loosening servo saver..but it definitely a weak or not so good internal servo issue..do they have a stronger metal servo that drops in? Car needs nothing else..but i hate it when cars dont track straight when you let go of the steering wheel..any suggestions are appreciated..Happy bashing😊
Ya it’s definitely annoying when that happens! I haven’t looked for a servo for this. Just gotta take measurements and try one. I’m sure I will eventually lol.
Took my wltoys servo from when i converted it to brushless 5 years ago..same exact dementions..with a good strong metal servo this truggy is perfect now..i may get another one..thanks 😊
Hey so I got the blue one and I'm pretty sure somethings wrong with something cause when I go forward it slips but when going backwards it doesn't and I thing it's the two back wheels that are the problem?is it the differential or ?how do I know ?
It’s only rated for 2s, but you could install a higher amp esc with a new receiver and transmitter to make it 3s capable. My opinion is you don’t really need 3s. It’s difficult to control with that!
What size battery in dimensions would fit in the blue one? I ordered it, but would like to order some Lipo to try them on it. :) Can't find it in the manual I found online.
Can you remember what tires you used to upgrade the orange short coarse.obviously they are larger and increase top end speed...you were running on 2s in this video? Right? Thanks for sharing😊
What was the dimensions of the original battery for the beast max i’ve already ordered one It hasn’t arrived yet but I want to put a 3S lipo in it but I want to try to get the same size lipo as the 2S so I won’t have the fitment issues
That's my fifth time watching this video! I'm about to purchase my first rc and I found great deals on both orange and blue ones but I really can't decide which one to get. Which one would you reccomend? I think I like the blue one more but man the orange one is also super cool! Is there a big difference between the two, except for the cover? Like handling, maneuverability, running better on a different terrain?
There really is no difference besides bodies and tires. Maybe some small stuff but nothing major at all. After these upgrades, I like the orange one more. Can’t go wrong with either. If you want to do big jumps I’d still say blue, but for a nice mix of ground handling and decent jumping, the orange! (Oh and using the links in my video description helps us which we appreciate ever so much!) Hopefully this answers your question 😃
Thanks! Well I got the shocks directly off another car so they already had oil on them. If you buy the shocks on their own, I’m not sure if they would have oil or not, but I would think so.
Very good video and review! I have the sweep pink version with better shocks and a 45 amp esc. It's faster than most of it's competition thanks to that 2847 4000kv that's technically a bit overvolted on 3s, show the quality of the parts like you mentioned.
@@magnusstone I use sigp 1100mah 35c and cnhl 850 mah 70c, you need to swap the plug for those. I used a 1/10 body post to extend the one thats already on there (it goes over it attached with another clip so is removable) and they fit like stock with the tab. The esc is from a wltoys 124008 and I use a dumbo gyro receiver.
Dude....i am absolutely buying this set up. I typically go for the 10 scale and bigger. But your vids have changed my mind. Looks like incredible fun and small enough to do it all in the front yard!!!! Where are you finding the parts for these?
Glad I could help! I love my bigger scale stuff too! (Currently working on the new 4s Mojave video). But yes there are some epic smaller ones like these! Parts are available at Suchiyu.com
I have look at few RC channels. U right up there. You have good knowledge of the RC. I just been in the game about year and half. Lot to learn. I have the orange one. Got off TEMU. It is pretty fast Just few brush motors and a few brushless. I need to built a ramp. Very. Hot in Vegas. Just find RC park. Thx for info on cars. I try to catch one on sale. With coupon. Channels. Drones and dogs And RC krazy. Now. Your channel.
I love the scy truggy,but it has no brakes..only forward and reverse..anyway to program these esc/rx s...my exact same setup in my sg pro 918 has great brakes...just wondering if you a solution... its a great truck,even has metal knuckles ..i am pretty sure thats an upgrade..thanks 😊
Interesting. Unfortunately I’m not sure if you can program these, but it does sound like that’s what it is because you usually can turn breaks off. Yup I think they added the metal knuckles to them, which is awesome 😄
Its all good...once outside going faster then brakong its awesome..i even tried 3s 1000 lipo...it was windy as hell so i wasn't able to go full trigger...its ballistic power...insane little truggy at a great price...thanks 😊
Yes,scy nailed it on the truggy..power train is amazing.super durability. I was going to swap motor on my scy sg 918 pro...but even using a soldering iron i was unable to break Phillips loose after several attempts i put it back together..the sg 918 hits 25 mph using stock 2s lion batts...i have several of these..i was going to upgrade its 2440 4500kv to 2445 5400kv...but ordered a 2845 6500kv,new motor mount,and an 18t and 20t pinion...i did some math and if esc on 2s can handle the bigger higher kv motor it should be approx 38 mph using 20t.. around 58 mph on 3s...i will let you know how it goes in about a week...😊
I can’t remember. If I used 3s I would have stated it so if the batteries I used weren’t stock then they were compatible 2s lipos. These come with 2s li-ions.
@@DerbyCityRC oh awesome thanks so much, I did see your first video with your son as well but also couldn’t figure out if you where using stock then either. 😂😂
@_c1ips_ you’re welcome 😃 I usually try to mention if I’m using a lipo in a review but I still always use the stock battery first (if it’s a review). Since this was an upgrade video I was most likely using lipos.
@@DerbyCityRC most likely, but I’m glad you said that because now I can assume you were using stock in the first vid. Thanks for the help, definitely earned a sub 🤝
HyperGo hasn’t really made a short course truck yet. Atleast I don’t consider the 14209 one. In this price range, the good options are the hbx 3100a, and this q130. Normally hbx takes the cake for me and it does look better, but the q130 is better on my opinion. Just needs those minor upgrades.
I got a question what would you recommend out of the arrma big rock 3s or the vorteks 3s or if you recommend another one that would be great as well I’m trying to figure out what to buy as my first high end rc car to ride around with my son thanks
To be honest I’m just getting into the hobby I got my son a decent rc truck and I fell in love and want one of my own. I just want a good all around rc truck a fast and reliable one since I’m just getting into the hobby and don’t know much about them I might do jumps etc but I would probably just do more just driving around and letting it do whatever comes to mind lmao but I did just buy a hyper go H14BM but it has not got here yet and I said I’m buy one more and I just want to get a great all round RC car but I do like fast since everyone likes fast lol jumps I probably would do sometimes but I was like let me ask around before I just pick the 2nd truck I want because I probably want buy anymore for awhile so I want to make sure that I can get one of the best that’s not gone break the bank and I watch a lot of your videos and I was like I’m ask you to see if you could recommend one of the best for me where I could not go wrong
@BlackBresha392 gotcha. Well I don’t have a big rock, but I have the granite which is similar but has a shorter wheelbase. I love the granite but it’s also kinda made to be jumped and flipped in my opinion. It does it so well. I don’t like it for ground as much cuz it flips over kind of easily. I don’t have a vorteks either, though I think I’m getting one soon. If you want to stay in the 3s line, which is definitely awesome, there’s the Senton which I like alot. It jumps very nicely just not for flips. It’s right here: bit.ly/senton If you can swing it, so far the 4s line is far superior. I just reviewed the 4s outcast recently and I’m working on the video for the 4s Mojave now.
Yea i just want one that can really just ride around and it goes fast etc I don’t have to hit the flips all the time just want to ride around and jump here and there I just want to get a good one since it will be last one for awhile till I learn the hobby I did buy the hyper go h14bm love it but it keep pulling to the right on me and I could not fix it so I sent it back to get another one I just want to have another one Togo with the hyper go
No they’re not. These are a brand called Su Chi Yu. SCY for short. They’re sold under many different brands though, like the ones I linked in the description.
Not really. It’s gonna depend on how much the motor can draw. The esc has to be able to handle that amperage. Ultimately I believe if the motor is slow and doesn’t draw much power, then a lower amp esc may be ok.
The DEERC H16E Brushless 1:16 3s capable 4X4 comes with oil filled aluminum shocks and is actually $10 less (@ Amazon) than the blue car you showed. 10kph slower but still fast. No chasis brace bar but those always bend anyway. Have you tried the H16E yet?
I have tried that one. o have a video on it from maybe 4-5 months ago. It’s good but I like these much more. That is just the mjx HyperGo 16208 with Deerc body on it. I’ve got that plus like 3 other variations of it lol
I will figure that out and let you know. That’s a good question lol. When I made that video, I couldn’t find the chassis I used as it was new and I pulled it off a car. It should be available now.
SG 116 Max destroys HyperGo 14210 in my opinion, I have 16208 and 14210 Now this monster is more stable at high speeds. A45 ESC On the way, I will update The controller also includes Dumbo RC
If you ever get a chance, can you add the traxxas 1/16 summit tires to one of the 16th scale rc you have hypergo or hbx to see how it performs? Also, if you try it, leave the shocks from the hbx on the back, which are longer, and put the red shorter shocks from the mjx on the front and play with the shock adjustments to make it even ride height at the front and the rear. That's my current setup, but I just NEVER have the environment to test it hard-core like you do. If you use those tires on the mjx, you might have to use spacers at the front bc when you turn, the tires rub against the corners of the chassis and body. No hard feelings if you can't 😆
I got the pro sweep version on temu for 66$ an is the best money I spent on a rc car an I drive it daily its my favorite on of the two I got I have the wltoys 124016 an it's trash unless I just got a defective v2 one
Cinematic quality on another level!

What tires did you go with? I accidentally ordered the wrong ones, so mines running some 96mm ones that look huge on it. Stock is only 82mm. You wouldn’t happen to know the pinion pitch though?
So does oil filled shocks stop it from doing wheelies when you have the throttle at max?
70mm eye to eye shocks will fit the sg116 / 16102 platform and add some travel / ground clearance.
Also metal pull rods upgrade will make the steering and front suspension better, because the plastic ones will rub a bit from the increased travel.

Great Vid! I have the same JJRC Q130 (orange brushless SCT) I also replaced the friction shocks with oil shocks and it transformed the truck! So much damn fun and super durable! Mine has survived some decent sends at the skate park muliple times!

Does yours have an esc where the heatsink on it gets so much hotter than the motor? Idk if mine is the only one...
I haven’t noticed that. Is it just when running on 2s? The stock battery?
@@DerbyCityRC on 3s, 2s, on stock battery or other li-ion batteries. Wanted to put a fan on it but no brackets to install on the esc heatsink..
@DerbyCityRC it does get hot on 2s and 3s. I mostly run on a decent 2s with high C as that's plenty for most driving situations. When I do run 3s, I take the 2 spare wheels off the back of the truck to help keep the front down. I'm in Oz and it's currently summer so the electrics do run hot!
LETS GOOOO NEW VOD THANKS BRO ❤❤❤
Two comments, woohoo!! 🤣
every video I watch is of a grown man with the heart of a child. dont stop!!! :)
Yes 😂! Thanks dude! No stopping for me!
more power to the hbx is certainly in place. it does not back flip easily even with the big tires.Hope the power will change that.
The other two looks like fun. definatly worth the price.
Absolutely! It’s actually the video I’m working on now so good timing watching this. I think you’ll be happy with it lol

For the bluecar I bought a couple of 2S 2000mah 25C from Hosim, they fit great and work very well. I dont get it to wheelie a lot but it might be the concrete
Agreed. It would be good to know which Lipos he used here.
Excellent video amigo! The orange is really tough and fun! It seems shortcut course trucks are getting better and better :D
Thanks! Man, wait til you see the new Mojave lol practically tore up my yard it’s so awesome 🤣
@@DerbyCityRC Man seriously I’m so so hyped about your Mojave video! My next rig for sure :)
Frankenstein for the win every time!!
Hey, between the jjrc q117 and the hbx 16669 which do you think is the better buy? i believe they are both 1/16 and brushless
The q117 easily, now the 16889a PRO is pretty close and will have easier spare part acquiring. The JJRC is faster easily just as durable if not more, and you can still get all the parts, just from a few specific sites so far. Probably pretty equal value.
Love the content brother! Also cool to see another R.C.'er who has back yard 🐔 s. We're rocking Rocks, Novagens and Bantys. Peace.
Thanks man! Ya that’s cool! The previous owner left them when we moved into the house a bit over a year ago, so we’re somewhat new to it. Actually his junky coop allowed a raccoon in, so all but one survivor, we bought and raised. Fully rebuilt the coop and Godzilla couldn’t get in it now 🤣
Can’t lie this is one of my favorites video I two versions of blueberry!
That’s awesome man, thanks!
Blueberry, I like it!
Love these cars and will probably get the jeep version soon too lol
Hey, that first truck handles pretty nice and rips hard! Nice driving
It does! Thanks!
The orange one looks the most fun! I actually found the orange one on temu 😂 brushless motor and all. Cant wait for it to be here. Great review! I was really digging that frankenstien. I want to build a frankenstien sometime too. I miss my 901a, I do. It jumped pretty high over the smallest jumps for me so im hoping that the orange will possibly have some similarity in that aspect but overall. Yeah, i absolutely love this video. Ty for recommending it. Appreciate it. If you have any other recommendations on mods for the orange or even for a wltoys 124017 please let me know. Im newer to the rc world.
I have the blue bodied car myself. I put a set of wltoys 14th scale oil shocks on and it drives like a totally different car with those on it. Got the full set of 4 for $5 on an AliExpress sale back during the summer. The little bit of jumping I did it wasn't bouncy on landing at all, just soaked it up and asked for more.
I did have an issue with either the motor or ESC beginning to crap out on me. I'm planning to replace both before spring comes and it's warm enough to get out and run. Thinking about using the updated hyper go ESC and motor that are set up for the ridiculous speed hack and 3s compatible.
That’s awesome! I’ve got a 144001 as a parts car I can try the shocks from lol
Awesome video, love your channel. I am new to RC and now I enjoy watching your videos as much as I enjoy my little HBX 16889!
I already want new model and now I have no idea which one to pick. I can get HBX 2105A for $60 which is an awesome deal, but now you've got me wanting a Q117 (currently at ~$80 on aliexpress). Also would be nice to get something bigger for a change. XLF X03 or HBX 2996a both look like a lot of fun, definitely more expensive though... Man, I want them all!
Anyways, keep rocking mate, can't wait for more videos!
Thanks bro!! I definitely like the q117 over the 2105a, just make sure you’re getting the brushless version. And the 2996a is ten times better than the XLF or any Hosim.
I understand wanting them all!! 😄
@@DerbyCityRC thanks, I ordered Q117 :D
Third one will be something 1/10th scale. I just keep telling my wife they're for the kid, but he's only 2 so she gets suspicious 🤣
where did you get the shocks for the beast max
Great control with such small fast RCs. Always love your content and editing. When do we get to see the Mojave review. Keep up the great work.
Thanks! 😃
I’m working on that video now, so probably in 2-4 days! So pumped!
Very cool video Even! I still love the FrankenRC!!!
Can’t wait to swap that motor!
Thanks!! 😃
such cool little trucks
Where do you find spare parts for these things?
Suchiyu.com or rccarsparts.com
Frankenstein looking lit 👍
I love it!!
Awesome video as always! What size shocks and tires for the orange one? I Bought the orange one after watching your videos, but mine broke almost immediately 😢 I believe the rear differential locked up and not sure what to do but also want to upgrade the shocks and tires.. but I can seem to get the links to work for me. Anybody that could help by telling me the size would be awesome! Thanks new but trying to learn ;)
That’s crazy yours broke so fast! Have you found the actual issue?
I’m not in my shop right now and the listing does not show the tire size, however they are the smaller of the two sets of tires that come with the HyperGo 14209
. The shocks are around 66 mm long.
Hopefully this helps!
I installed upgraded shocks which had zero oil in them...but even after adding oil they still are nothing compared to my mjx hypergo shocks...i spend a couple of hours this morning trying to figure out what the deal was with this beautiful looking upgrade shocks..they just are not designed very well...my wltoys and hyper go shocks are 10 x better...i really think your blue truck bounces because those shocks are not working as well as the other trucks..best way is to take shocks off and remove springs..its crazy how the right springs and shocks make insane difference.
😊
Yes the simplest things can make a huge difference I agree!! 😊
Hi mate am enjoying buying rc staff getting ready 4 the summer 2 cold now .does the 2996a use a 540 motor like on the mt10.I went 4 an rb10 team associated i like the simplicity onf 2wd easy 2 work on
I'd really like to see more on the 3100A! some jumps or track action.
I’ve got some more plans for that one!
@DerbyCityRC Can't wait to see it man! Your channel really got me into these HBX's and smaller scale RC's. It's going to be fun at our indoor track through the winter here in MN where we can't bash outside as often due to the subzero temps. I got the 16890SA a few weeks ago and my 3100A was supposed to arrive today but got delayed until tomorrow. Hopefully it arrives in the AM so I can rip at the track for a bit before they close.
I love my scy 16 scale truggy...one issue is the servo will not center..my little race car servo centers much better..i experemented with tightening and loosening servo saver..but it definitely a weak or not so good internal servo issue..do they have a stronger metal servo that drops in? Car needs nothing else..but i hate it when cars dont track straight when you let go of the steering wheel..any suggestions are appreciated..Happy bashing😊
Ya it’s definitely annoying when that happens! I haven’t looked for a servo for this. Just gotta take measurements and try one. I’m sure I will eventually lol.
Took my wltoys servo from when i converted it to brushless 5 years ago..same exact dementions..with a good strong metal servo this truggy is perfect now..i may get another one..thanks 😊
@roadstar499 oh nice!! You’re welcome!!
300th like of the day lol great video, Frankenstein MY FAVORITE!!
Sweet!! Nice work, and thanks!!! 😃😃
Dude the Frankenstein is Aweosme!
Can you change the receiver on the blue one so it would work with a programmable controller that can be used for multiple cars?
You can, but you would have to change the esc too and get a receiver that works with your controller. The current esc has the receiver built in.
Hey bro what tires did u put on the blue car
Hey so I got the blue one and I'm pretty sure somethings wrong with something cause when I go forward it slips but when going backwards it doesn't and I thing it's the two back wheels that are the problem?is it the differential or ?how do I know ?
It’s really tough to know. You need to watch all the components spin and see what’s not spinning, then find out where it seems to lose drive.
What strongest. Battery could be use on the orange. 2x or 3 x
It’s only rated for 2s, but you could install a higher amp esc with a new receiver and transmitter to make it 3s capable. My opinion is you don’t really need 3s. It’s difficult to control with that!
What size battery in dimensions would fit in the blue one? I ordered it, but would like to order some Lipo to try them on it. :) Can't find it in the manual I found online.
I like this one: amzn.to/3VHK74w
But you also need this adapter: amzn.to/4aXBiYA
Can you remember what tires you used to upgrade the orange short coarse.obviously they are larger and increase top end speed...you were running on 2s in this video? Right? Thanks for sharing😊
I’ve got the links in the description. They’re a set of hypergo tires. Yes I’m pretty sure this whole video was 2s. Almost positive 😂 you’re welcome!!
Hello is it possible to know the length of the original shocks of the blue car(mine is called sg116 max). Thanks
I don’t know which ones came off that car, sorry. But I feel like they were around 65mm. Could be wrong there.
I need something that slides like that black or. Looks so fun.
I built the black one. It’s so good!
What was the dimensions of the original battery for the beast max i’ve already ordered one It hasn’t arrived yet but I want to put a 3S lipo in it but I want to try to get the same size lipo as the 2S so I won’t have the fitment issues
That's my fifth time watching this video! I'm about to purchase my first rc and I found great deals on both orange and blue ones but I really can't decide which one to get. Which one would you reccomend? I think I like the blue one more but man the orange one is also super cool! Is there a big difference between the two, except for the cover? Like handling, maneuverability, running better on a different terrain?
There really is no difference besides bodies and tires. Maybe some small stuff but nothing major at all. After these upgrades, I like the orange one more. Can’t go wrong with either. If you want to do big jumps I’d still say blue, but for a nice mix of ground handling and decent jumping, the orange! (Oh and using the links in my video description helps us which we appreciate ever so much!)
Hopefully this answers your question 😃
Awesome video!
Did you put oil in the shocks?
Thanks!
Well I got the shocks directly off another car so they already had oil on them. If you buy the shocks on their own, I’m not sure if they would have oil or not, but I would think so.
Yo where did you get the shocks?
It was Banggood I think. I have the actual link to them in the video description
Very good video and review!
I have the sweep pink version with better shocks and a 45 amp esc. It's faster than most of it's competition thanks to that 2847 4000kv that's technically a bit overvolted on 3s, show the quality of the parts like you mentioned.
Which shocks did you upgrade to?
@@Psyanizzle mjx 14209 😉
Which battery are you using? Does it fit in the stock location?
@@magnusstone I use sigp 1100mah 35c and cnhl 850 mah 70c, you need to swap the plug for those. I used a 1/10 body post to extend the one thats already on there (it goes over it attached with another clip so is removable) and they fit like stock with the tab. The esc is from a wltoys 124008 and I use a dumbo gyro receiver.
Dude....i am absolutely buying this set up. I typically go for the 10 scale and bigger. But your vids have changed my mind. Looks like incredible fun and small enough to do it all in the front yard!!!! Where are you finding the parts for these?
Glad I could help!
I love my bigger scale stuff too! (Currently working on the new 4s Mojave video).
But yes there are some epic smaller ones like these!
Parts are available at Suchiyu.com
I have look at few RC channels. U right up there. You have good knowledge of the RC. I just been in the game about year and half. Lot to learn. I have the orange one. Got off TEMU. It is pretty fast Just few brush motors and a few brushless. I need to built a ramp. Very. Hot in Vegas. Just find RC park. Thx for info on cars. I try to catch one on sale. With coupon. Channels. Drones and dogs And RC krazy. Now. Your channel.
Thanks man!!
I love the scy truggy,but it has no brakes..only forward and reverse..anyway to program these esc/rx s...my exact same setup in my sg pro 918 has great brakes...just wondering if you a solution... its a great truck,even has metal knuckles ..i am pretty sure thats an upgrade..thanks 😊
Interesting. Unfortunately I’m not sure if you can program these, but it does sound like that’s what it is because you usually can turn breaks off. Yup I think they added the metal knuckles to them, which is awesome 😄
Its all good...once outside going faster then brakong its awesome..i even tried 3s 1000 lipo...it was windy as hell so i wasn't able to go full trigger...its ballistic power...insane little truggy at a great price...thanks 😊
@roadstar499 nice, I agree!! You’re welcome! 😊
Yes,scy nailed it on the truggy..power train is amazing.super durability. I was going to swap motor on my scy sg 918 pro...but even using a soldering iron i was unable to break Phillips loose after several attempts i put it back together..the sg 918 hits 25 mph using stock 2s lion batts...i have several of these..i was going to upgrade its 2440 4500kv to 2445 5400kv...but ordered a 2845 6500kv,new motor mount,and an 18t and 20t pinion...i did some math and if esc on 2s can handle the bigger higher kv motor it should be approx 38 mph using 20t.. around 58 mph on 3s...i will let you know how it goes in about a week...😊
@roadstar499 yes definitely let me know!! 😃
Are you running stock batteries?
I can’t remember. If I used 3s I would have stated it so if the batteries I used weren’t stock then they were compatible 2s lipos. These come with 2s li-ions.
@@DerbyCityRC oh awesome thanks so much, I did see your first video with your son as well but also couldn’t figure out if you where using stock then either. 😂😂
@_c1ips_ you’re welcome 😃 I usually try to mention if I’m using a lipo in a review but I still always use the stock battery first (if it’s a review). Since this was an upgrade video I was most likely using lipos.
@@DerbyCityRC most likely, but I’m glad you said that because now I can assume you were using stock in the first vid. Thanks for the help, definitely earned a sub 🤝
@_c1ips_ yes if it’s a video where I am showing the car for the first time, then definitely. Thanks buddy!! 😊🔥🔥
Great video! I need to build me a Franklin!
Redcat in the states could do an RTR based on your build. Quite often they just whack different decals on a car and call it a day
They should!
LETS GOOOO NEW VID❤
You bet man!!!
There did you get the metal knuckles from?
Suchiyu.com 👍
@DerbyCityRC do you know what park number it is for the blue car?
Whats the better short curse truck the MJX HyperGo 14209 or JJRC Q130 i mean the hyger can take 3s :)
HyperGo hasn’t really made a short course truck yet. Atleast I don’t consider the 14209 one. In this price range, the good options are the hbx 3100a, and this q130. Normally hbx takes the cake for me and it does look better, but the q130 is better on my opinion. Just needs those minor upgrades.
thanks alot@@DerbyCityRC
I have bought the beast max, can somebody help me where I can buy extra battery?
How do you make it wide stance
Could add wheel hex extenders
What's the name of the blue car?
It’s called something different on each website so that depends. I have a link or two to it in the video description.
where did you get that tool you used to press the balls out?

This is cool,content!
I got a question what would you recommend out of the arrma big rock 3s or the vorteks 3s or if you recommend another one that would be great as well I’m trying to figure out what to buy as my first high end rc car to ride around with my son thanks
What type of driving do you want to do?
Jumps and flips or mostly staying on the ground? What type of terrain?
To be honest I’m just getting into the hobby I got my son a decent rc truck and I fell in love and want one of my own. I just want a good all around rc truck a fast and reliable one since I’m just getting into the hobby and don’t know much about them I might do jumps etc but I would probably just do more just driving around and letting it do whatever comes to mind lmao but I did just buy a hyper go H14BM but it has not got here yet and I said I’m buy one more and I just want to get a great all round RC car but I do like fast since everyone likes fast lol jumps I probably would do sometimes but I was like let me ask around before I just pick the 2nd truck I want because I probably want buy anymore for awhile so I want to make sure that I can get one of the best that’s not gone break the bank and I watch a lot of your videos and I was like I’m ask you to see if you could recommend one of the best for me where I could not go wrong
@BlackBresha392 gotcha. Well I don’t have a big rock, but I have the granite which is similar but has a shorter wheelbase. I love the granite but it’s also kinda made to be jumped and flipped in my opinion. It does it so well. I don’t like it for ground as much cuz it flips over kind of easily. I don’t have a vorteks either, though I think I’m getting one soon.
If you want to stay in the 3s line, which is definitely awesome, there’s the Senton which I like alot. It jumps very nicely just not for flips. It’s right here: bit.ly/senton
If you can swing it, so far the 4s line is far superior. I just reviewed the 4s outcast recently and I’m working on the video for the 4s Mojave now.
Sounds good I’m check them out
Yea i just want one that can really just ride around and it goes fast etc I don’t have to hit the flips all the time just want to ride around and jump here and there I just want to get a good one since it will be last one for awhile till I learn the hobby I did buy the hyper go h14bm love it but it keep pulling to the right on me and I could not fix it so I sent it back to get another one I just want to have another one Togo with the hyper go
What tires are you running ?
Which car? I have links to both sets of tires in the video description.
Another great video
Thanks! 😃
Love your videos
The orange 1😊
The orange truck
Are these the hyper go rc cars?
No they’re not. These are a brand called Su Chi Yu. SCY for short. They’re sold under many different brands though, like the ones I linked in the description.
ANY brushless esc is rated for 3s
Not really. It’s gonna depend on how much the motor can draw. The esc has to be able to handle that amperage. Ultimately I believe if the motor is slow and doesn’t draw much power, then a lower amp esc may be ok.
Use the gripy MJX 10410 tires on these. They work so much better than in the MJX, maybe because these cars are a lot lighter?
That’s the part number of the ones I used on the Frankenstein car right? It probably is because they’re lighter so they don’t grab the ground as hard.
@@DerbyCityRC Yep, those ones. They just grip too much sideways on a heavy car.
They are both the same with the same chassis etc.. but then again they are not.. mind blown 😮
🤯
The DEERC H16E Brushless 1:16 3s capable 4X4 comes with oil filled aluminum shocks and is actually $10 less (@ Amazon) than the blue car you showed. 10kph slower but still fast. No chasis brace bar but those always bend anyway. Have you tried the H16E yet?
I have tried that one. o have a video on it from maybe 4-5 months ago. It’s good but I like these much more. That is just the mjx HyperGo 16208 with Deerc body on it. I’ve got that plus like 3 other variations of it lol
I got my Deerc H16e for $111, and the blue (& pink) truggy for $78, both from Amazon.
Est. Cost of Frankenmonster?
I will figure that out and let you know. That’s a good question lol.
When I made that video, I couldn’t find the chassis I used as it was new and I pulled it off a car. It should be available now.
Tenhos os 2 modelos de carros, o Q130 tem muito mais estabilidade...otimo video💥💪
I agree! Thanks!!
Today I got the blue one home and it was quick and good
Very good!
SG 116 Max destroys HyperGo 14210 in my opinion, I have 16208 and 14210 Now this monster is more stable at high speeds. A45 ESC On the way, I will update The controller also includes Dumbo RC
@kamalabouelela4553 I agree this is better than those in most ways! That new esc will help even more! 😃
I burned it today after using the 3S battery, and I am waiting for a new one A45 ESC 😂😂
@kamalabouelela4553 🤣 nice!
Any flames or smoke?

Thanks yes we are monetized so I certainly appreciate the support man! 🔥🔥😃
If you ever get a chance, can you add the traxxas 1/16 summit tires to one of the 16th scale rc you have hypergo or hbx to see how it performs? Also, if you try it, leave the shocks from the hbx on the back, which are longer, and put the red shorter shocks from the mjx on the front and play with the shock adjustments to make it even ride height at the front and the rear. That's my current setup, but I just NEVER have the environment to test it hard-core like you do. If you use those tires on the mjx, you might have to use spacers at the front bc when you turn, the tires rub against the corners of the chassis and body.
No hard feelings if you can't 😆
For me hbx 16889a pro is still the GOAT of cheapos
Which is what the Frankenstein was sorta based off of. Even though it’s completely different 🤣
LETS GO 🔥
🔥🔥🔥🔥
Is theQ130 actually bigger than the blue car?
Not really. The body itself might be a little longer, but they’re the same chassis. Same size car.
@@DerbyCityRC I bought the jeep version so wasn't sure if I should get that one. All seem the same platform
Yup there’s the jeep version too, which is definitely the same. I may still end up with it though 🤣
