The brake can me adjusted with the throttle trim. It becomes far better with 3s once you have done this. Never had the ESC issues that you had.
I see, weird that it does that - it's not how the throttle trim works on other cars
Thanks for letting me know!
@ValRC1 haha never had the diff issues and now my front diff just broke. One month wait for the replacement :(
@@squillium8127 aww that sucks, but there are actually upgraded diffs out now!
@@ValRC1 yes I bought some claiming to be upgraded and with a goldish tint to the metal. They also had good reviews. Got two!
@@squillium8127 nice, lmk if they hold up!
Bro did you check the diffs on grease before you run it?
I didn't, but there was grease in there when it broke and I replaced it :p but yeah good point, probably good to check if there's grease inside before running it
@@ValRC1 yeah last time i checked the diffs on my new hbx 16889a pro before running, there was grease inside but it was a bit dry. Will also check on the mjx once i get him
Yes, for the money it really is that good.
Glad you're enjoying yours :)
Good review. Thanks for letting us know.
No problem, I have more coming up for when I have more time to make vids :)
Thanks for the awesome review! I know the diffs are a weak spot, but just wondered how you and your friend's spur gear and front and rear driveshaft gears held up?
We never had any issues with the spur gear or any of the driveshafts
Thank you, great to know! Subscribed 🙂
@@drewjayy8495 you're welcome, thanks for the sub!
Also I notice your receiver is different from mine, do you know how to reset the ESC to recalibrate the throttle / brakes by chance?
@@drewjayy8495 unfortunately I don't, I just set the throttle trim to 0 on mine and it worked. I'm not even sure if it's possible to recalibrate the esc
Nice review
Thanks man!! Hey I can't find you on discord anymore and I don't remember your whole name, mind sending me a dm? Username is "valenin"
Very informative thank you
Thanks for watching, feel free to leave a sub if you want to see more :)
I like your honest review! I'm actually thinking of getting the smaller 1/18 HBX 18889A truck which closely resembles this one.
Thanks for watching! If you do, let me know how you like it
HBX 16889A PRO is a good alternative to this MJX Hyper GO. I would like to see you reviewing that one as well.
Thanks for the suggestion! maybe sometime, unfortunately I don't have the money to buy every rc car I might want lol
@@ValRC1 Yeah, it sucks having to buy all the cars to get them to review on my channel for now. However, I hope by doing that I am proving that it is not about likes, views or money for me but about spreading the love and passion for the hobby, and hopefully getting more adults and kids to go outdoors and get away from the brainwashing of television, smartphones and tablets.
@@philiprccars4340 for now I think i want to focus mostly on reviewing cars I buy anyways, not buy cars specifically to review them, since I'm not getting anything out of the videos anyways and am just doing it for fun
@@ValRC1 Same here, I am even intending to do the very cheap toy grade cars on my channel, they are also quite nice for some indoor fun with winter having its last spasms of cold spells in my part of the world at present.
@@philiprccars4340 nice, where are you from?
I'm heared that some review says hbx 16889a pro diff is more strong than mjx.
Nice, that's good to know! Thanks for watching btw
Thanks for letting me know! I've watched many reviews saying these are the best. Was bout to buy one when I saw this. I was going to buy one with a DumboRC x6f transmitter upgrade already in it for only $10 more, do you think its worth it If I buy some spare Diffs prior to it coming will it still be a fun little car? thanks!
Yeah it'll be fun still :) it's not bad for the price, just not perfect like some others have said. Is there one with the dumborc transmitter new from hyper go?
@@ValRC1 no I think he means he has already an dumborc transmitter and buying one extra receiver to pair them also with this one. Mine is on the way and if the lag is horrible I also plan to doing this
@@dutch_rc ahh okay well in that case it's totally worth it lol.
Yeah lmk how bad the lag is once you receive yours
My center peice broke on my diff so I had to replace it
The center piece broke on mine as well when it split apart, it broke some other things with it tho so I just replaced the whole diff
thanks for your honesty.
like & sub.
No problem, to me, there's really no point in lying in these reviews! Thanks for watching
What do you think of the mjx buggy version ?
I haven't tried it, but the components are all pretty similar to this one
Can you link me a battery to use with this car? The stock battery is too small
I agree the stock battery sucks, only thing is if you use another one most of the time you have to take off the stock battery mount and mount the battery some other way - I did it with Velcro tape. As for the link, what country are you in?
@@ValRC1 the US and I want to keep it 2s
@@longboardluv2 I'm not sure how big the battery tray is because I don't have the car anymore, but maybe these could fit? chinahobbyline.com/collections/us-warehouse-products/products/cnhl-black-series-1500mah-7-4v-2s-100c-lipo-battery-with-t-plug?_pos=13&_fid=ddc7f2897&_ss=c measurements are in the description
I had this rc for like 4 month on 2S, and then iswitched to 3S. After just 3 rides the teeth of my gears broke aswell. And indeed, a lot of work to replace. 😥
Aww, I hope it lasts longer now!
I see they make upgrades for the stock diff and input gear. I will try that as I break the input gear with 3S every 2 packs, and the diffs break easily.
That said it is by far the most durable car in the other parts. No car can take the punishment this one takes and on 3S it is a deamon on the loose.
The wltoys are fast and accurate to drive but don't bash them as they will break into pieces (not just a little bit less durable).
If they solved the gear issues It is a perfect car for bashing, not so for accurate driving / racing.
Oh that's great, where can I find the upgrades?
For WLToys it really depends on the specific car you get. My first one was super durable, with the new one I got they must have messed up the plastics cause they're pretty brittle.
Thanks for your input btw!
I'm also curious, I've heard the 16889a pro shares some parts. Wonder if that diff would be a better.
@@keldonator might be worth trying out!
I ordered one set of WLtoys 144001 diffs to see if they will fit, if they don't oh well, then I will have a free giveaway sometime in the future ...
@@philiprccars4340oh no, I tried that when I still had it and it definitely didn't fit into mine! I sold it for like 80€ in the meantime
I have the same truck. Both the front and rear diff screws snapped. I found upgraded diffs. They are made with the better metal. The other issue I had is the rear spur gear (the part that drives the rear diff) stripped. I think 3s is too hard on the gears, I have done both 3s and 2s. I haven’t noticed the delay however. I mainly jump the thing, a lot of fun
yeah the gears are poor quality as well, I also broke the input gear on the rear diff..i think i forgot to mention that in the video, not sure tho.
Where did you find the upgraded diffs? Glad to hear you like yours
@@ValRC1 give us the link where you bought the good parts.. ??
I just ordered this car.. upgraded.. to put up with a 3S battery... it will be interesting to see if they upgraded the differentials as well...

@@shhs1791 i didn't buy the good parts, just replaced the mediocre stock ones
Do you have a link to upgraded diffs?
love your voice im a big fan
Lol thank you x3
I blew my reardiff on mine as well. I bought a two pack just in case it happens again. It took me about 10 to 15 minutes to switch it out and it happened with 3s about a month in
Yup, good idea to buy two, especially considering how the shipping cost is about as much as the diff itself 😂
1:57 a good advice for beginners is actually instead of going up in cells when you are a rookie, 3s is sometimes too much for the intended purposes of a toy car , a safer approach to higher speed and easier on your motor and ecs is go up in discharge rate , lets say you were at 20c go for a 35c , let say you were at 35c go for a 50c but never never never never never never go from 20c to 100c unless your motor can handle more constant voltage. if you were getting 75kmh with 2s 2500mha 25c , go for a 2s 3000mha 35c or 40c that extra constant charge will net you more speed , and yes you can still rip apart your stock plastic diffs if you are careless. going from 7v to 11v its more taxing than going 7.2 to 7.6 or 7.8v
Good point! Thanks for watching
Having a high C-rating on the battery should not affect anything once it’s high enough to provide the amps that the motor is drawing.
Let’s say you have a 2000 mAh 25C battery, which is rated for a discharge rate of 50 Amps. The battery is already capable of providing all the current you need with something like a 35-45 A ESC. Switching to a 50C battery will change very little at that point. Maybe you’ll get a little punchier acceleration.
The top speed will be unaffected if the voltage is the same.
@@sauliluolajan-mikkola620 yes you are right more punch you will get from more discharge rating but no more speed for that you need more cells . one safe approach like i was saying is just go up one rating in discharge .
I have both a 16207 and a 14210, and on both the cars are cutting out if I go full throttle and into a skid??? Anybody got any ideas? Just purchased 2 new ones, hope it is the Esc.
oh wow that's really weird, I've never had or heard of that issue. Might be related to the ESC or/and Transmitter. Hope you get it figured out!
@@ValRC1 yeah very weird, removed all ESC wires and changed this morning, let's see if that works.
Thanks! Finally an honest review. I'm sick of useless YT channels with ONLY good things to say, like every RC car they review is flawless.
Thanks for watching!
Total noob here, can the speed be limited on this? For $100 it seems like a great beginner RC for my 10yo to play/break/fix to get his feet wet…
Yes, but as far as I recall only in 0%/75%/100% steps
But you could upgrade the transmitter to get full control over throttle and steering endpoints
Any chance you were landing jumps while on full power that could lead to blowing diffs
Nah, they're just too bad for the car with the kind of power it has, puts a lot of strain on them
OK thanks bro saved me wasting time and money 💰
Glad I did man!
Hi, I watch your videos, I like them so much. I bought a car
MJX 16208 YPER GO . I would like some advice from you, since you have so much experience with these machines.
Differential oil which one do you put in it?
4,000
Do you only use differential grease?
The MJX differentials are not sealed, so any differential oil would run out. So would advise only using grease in them
What fat do you recommend I buy?
@@dannylemming4663 honestly most thick greases should work. I use marine grease and it works great
Okay 😊
is that ESC really bad? maybe the brake are programmed with 100% and I know that you can not modify it with this ESC, I was going to try it on the HBX 16889a pro as my esc is fried on 3S with a dumbo receiver but at this point, I don't know if I should buy the hobbywing (the one that you posted isn't made for brushless, the 60A is made with a fan and it is double expensive than the brushed one, usually costs 50-60$, that's why I didn't buy it yet)
Ohh ok my bad i made a mistake while editing.. I mean the hyper go ESC works, just drives funny imo..hobbywing would be better for sure but you decide if it's worth the price
a.aliexpress.com/_mKLaEGM this is the one I meant to put in the video, it's just $25 here
@@ValRC1 not bad 25$ but I'm reading that it should take 24xx with
@@scappellos I think it will be fine, the onroad rating for the hobbywing ESC on 3s is 5000kv and it depends how much resistance the drivetrain has, how your gearing is setup and how aggressive you are on the throttle..so they play it safe with the "limits".. My friend is using that exact hobbywing esc with a 2850 4500kv motor in a LC Racing EMB-T, which is actually a bigger car and it works great. So a small increase of 300kv over their recommendation should be fine imo
And I doubt that MJX ESC is any better for 3800kv on 3s, even if it says so :)
@@scappellos someone in the reviews of the hobbywing esc actually tested it in a Hbx 16889a and it worked great for them. And yeah the throttle delay is still there with upgraded transmitter on the mjx esc, just less..it's a bit weird but drivable
Thanks very much for the first honest review of this car on YT. I kinda felt it in my bones, that they have more problems, than yt sellers tell us.
From what you're saying, it seems they're great for brainless fun, which really mean a young child , that won't notice after only short time, all the weird behaviour of cheap electronics.
I have a feeling that only flyhall fc610 is really worth buying, cause you're forced to buy electronics for it, but the car having centre differential, is actually worth investing. But it won't come cheap at the bottom line.
All those small bashers can only provide very simple and no-expectations fun. Unless crazy durability is the only expectation.
Yeah that's true, no problem! Thanks for watching :)
I've been very impressed with my friend's LC Racing EMB-T, which is the platform WLToys copied, but in way better quality! Drives super well too :) doesn't have a center diff but does have a slipper clutch which works well
On a 60C 3S battery this thing can hit 72km/h.
Noice, tho that's too much for this truck imo with how the handling and braking is
@@ValRC1 Yeah, it's pretty crazy like that. It will flip backwards on throttle, flip forwards on brake and turn over on corners. Unless you do it really carefully. You could lower the shocks with plastic tubes though, lowering the centre of gravity. Then it's a good speeder, but also less efficient on grass and jumps. 3s is fun though.
@@janklaassen6404 how did you lower the shocks with plastic tubes?
@@ValRC1 You put a tiny tube inside them which keeps them from extending fully. You can use heatshrinkwrap as well. Here's a tutorial: th-cam.com/video/hkZRRNSsBMo/w-d-xo.html
@@janklaassen6404 ahh I see, so basically just decrease the travel in the shocks? Thanks!!
I had the same issues broke front and rear😢
Oof that sucks, hope you can sort it out. Thanks for watching!
I got the brushed version and it's amazing realy lol fast enuff it's got a 380 motor not a 370 like most of this type
@@rhealgagnon1460 nice, glad you like yours!
I think the brushless version is too powerful for the car's drivetrain, brushed should be fine
@@ValRC1 if you play only 2s lipo, will the front and rear diffs brake?
I'd imagine it could be fine, but to me the truck was a bit boring on 2s
Hey thanks for the honest and conscise video. I have to agree with others here, allot of reviews one comes accross are big affiliates who just throw these things around and move onto the next "free" review...maybe fun sometimes, but its just magnified consumerism. I am sure that the majority of users of this sort of RC car are average persons who maybe just want to learn or improve without breaking the bank. I personally have just purchased this model, given its seemingly robust and performance orientated specifications.. AND also looking forward to just having some fun, and if it breaks improving and fixing it while learning in the process. Perhaps you could update any links of any suggested battery options (2s or 3s) and Differential spare parts? thanks for video, keep it up!
As super cheap starter car it's not bad! I'll see if I can find the links, the ones for the differential should be in the discord server still
hi - i just bought this from aliexpress. Question for you - the drive train and gear box are very noisy and loose. It appears to have quite a bit of slack in the gear box, so if you hold tree wheels in place and the turn the remaining wheel it moves and makes a few clicks like skipping a few teeth before the wheel locks into the transmission, just so very loose and very clicky drive train. Is this normal on this particular model?
The diffs were a bit rough on mine as well, but I didn't get any skipping teeth out of the box 🤔 maybe contact AliExpress on it, they might give you a partial refund for it
Got mine today. Same thing... crazy noises when turning the wheels, skipping teeth when turning the wheels slow and even hearable when shaking the car a bit. I am not experienced, but I think this noises aren't normal. maybe it's on the upgraded version. If anybody has a solution if this is repairable or maybe it's normal, please answer.I am a bit worried
@@user-lf8pd2ld2u are the teeth actually skipping or does it just sound and feel rough? If they're skipping something's off, if it's just rough then that's just down to the poor quality of there cheap cars
Took it apart completely. Seems to be fine! The differential was well greased, the spurgears a little less, but OK too. The rattling occurs when the Motor is in the drive chain. The skipping off teeth just sounds like skipping, but it is not. when you only turn the Motor Spurgear by hand you can feel the "skipping". I am no Motor expert, but I believe it's coming from the strong Magnets inside. so it jumps 12 times whe turned 1 round. Makes sense. This Jumping is transfered over the all metaldrivetrain (Rods, ballbearings etc) and the Body Plate works like a loudspeaker.
So I really think this is normal and mostly because of tolerances in the Plastic body or Ball bearings. The Spur Gear, I can safely tell, grip very well into each other. Don't worry! 😊
Has one advantage, i took it appart completely. Now I know how this thing works inside at least! :-)
Not sure what it’s doing this for but bassically when I accelerate the power cuts off and I can’t accelerate but I can still turn the wheels I’m not sure what is going on
Damn, that sounds like something in your electronics is either broken or loose. My guess is something's up with the ESC, tho that can't be said for sure
@@ValRC1 I fixed it my friend, my throttle trim was stuck and was causing the red light of death, it has a safety feature where if there’s any throttle trim on start up to cause it from not automatically driving it away because of the trim setting it cuts out power, I had to put throttle trim back to 0 it was stuck on the middle setting
@@CoreyCTX ohhh I see, nice glad it was just that!
Hi thanks. I also destroyed one teeth of the gears very soon, i think after 10 runs on 2s. They don t look like a sturdy CNC, but just cheap injections gears
The metal definitely looks like some of the cheapest I've seen, lol
Thanks, now i m trying to identify sone cnc or anyway harder than original parts. Not very easy i think the steel part number should be 16401G, but i m mot sure.
Thoughts on comparable HBX?
Better (similarly priced) options?
I don't know about the HBX, I haven't tried that one..
@@ValRC1 comparable options?
@@badtolz2122 LC Racing EMB MT brushed Version is a super durable and way higher quality alternative, it's brushed for around the same price, but def worth it imo
@@badtolz2122 my friend has the EMB tg brushless and I've been very impressed with it, but that's a lot more money
@@ValRC1 cool. Thank you. I'm looking to get into it with my son and shopping around.
I'm having alignment issues, drifts to one side and spins out. Can't get it to go straight. 😪
That sucks, may be a stuck bearing as well tho?
Ya'' realize this is a 100 buck RC car turn key. Let me repeat that 100 dollars for even a battery and charger, sorry let me say again 100 bucks. Idk if you caught it but it'll 100 bucks. That's less than a brand name 3S LiPo. Y'all surprised Pikachu memeing about it.
I got it black Friday for $70. It's insane value even if imperfect
@Krunkscooters I just got this for 61 GBP incl all taxes n delivery. The downside though is that it looks like I'll need to spend nearly the same again on upgrades to the diffs, transmitter and ESC! A bit of a false economy... :(
At that price it's a good deal
Yeah, the HBX 16889a Pro was 84 GBP all in, but of a no brainer to get what many were saying was the better vehicle. It'll do for me as a beginner vehicle for now.
Unfortunately my deal was too good to be true. The aliexpress seller sent me the wrong car, some crappy 10 quid item. Having to refund and look elsewhere how, what a waste of time!
Mond had extra axels and a diff...for 129.99
Damn, that's more than the car costs 😅
Do you have any idea what gear pitch mjx uses?
Nope, no Idea, sorry

Changing the transmitter, would also solve the "no drag brake" that is a bit annoying, at least for me?
@@BASSstarlet i never use a drag brake, it's annoying to me
@@BASSstarlet but yeah of course you could add a drag brake with a different transmitter :) just my personal preference that i don't need one, i like my car rolling when i let go of the throttle and braking when i hit the brake
Have you tried dumborc mini version of that controller? I wonder if it works just as well.
@@keldonator I haven't, but I'd buy the big normal one just to be sure
If you jump and land on full power you will break the diffs
I didn't do that though, they just got worn out over time
bro ok didnt need to hear this but other i quote "stupid YT channels" prb have more exsperince than you also its only cheap its not a x_max ok?
Maybe, but having lot of subscribers doesn't always equal experience. I apologize if I said that in the video, of course none of the TH-cam channels reviewing things purely for the money or to get another free car are "stupid".
