A More Affordable Alternative RC Car? - MJX Hyper Go 10208

PSA: It seems that a V2 may be closer than we think. Ive heard nothing of a release date other than Banggood has a bulk order coming. Is that the V2? Absolutely no idea. Some have said maybe mine is the V2 because the body latch seems better. Others have said that was just a running improvement for the V1. Lots of mixed information on what or when a V2 will be. I would definitely wait to order or purchase this until we have more concrete information as they will be taking feedback from these initial reviews to make improvements (it seems). I’ll certainly be suggesting longer suspension arms and shocks along with better tires and an adjustable servo saver. (A bit of a lower price if i can persuade them).

Banggood just added this car for $250. Not in stock yet but bulk order coming soon: www.banggood.com/custlink/G3viD78KG1

[@TheflyingkiwiRC]

Wow for me here in New Zealand they are $415NZD that's over $300NZD cheaper than an Arrma 3s or Rival MT10. Game changer

[@DerbyCityRC]

Crazy!!

[@biggerchris20]

So how reliable is Banggood? I ordered a mjx 14301 from AliExpress about a year ago, they gave me bogus shipping information, after about 2 months I was able to get a refund, i said never again.

[@DerbyCityRC]

Ya Ali express is different. Almost like an eBay and you need to be careful who you buy from. Banggood is an actual supplier like Amazon in a sense. Never had an issue except about 3 years ago an order got lost in the mail. It was a $180 RC and tracking info showed it got lost in my city. They refunded it for me. Maybe store credit I can’t remember but it wasn’t their fault. This was before I even had a channel and it was my very first purchase from them so I was nobody to them at the time. Completely legit company.

[@DerbyCityRC]

Still relatively slow shipping sometimes as many items will be coming directly from China. Some things they do have in US warehouses.

[@davidclymer2207]

Great review, Evan. I’ve always thought that when the good Chinese brands start building true 1/10 bashers, Traxxas and Arrma are going to have something to worry about. It’s been comical in the past what they’ve been trying to sell as 1/10. With the 10208, we finally have a true 1/10. It looks good and it’s nice to have another option. I have a feeling we’ll be able to get them for a good sale price once they’re on Amazon. For $289 I’d probably pay $50 more and buy an MT10, but I’m glad to see Hypergo venturing into the bigger RC market.

[@DerbyCityRC]

Thanks! Yup I’m hoping they lower the price a bit, cuz I would also go for the MT10. Yes it’s all about the options!

[@Bongface.]

Not that it breaks the bank but with this price its in the name brand category. I'm a huge fan of the budget R/C bashers for messing around and for the kids. Still a nice offering.

[@DerbyCityRC]

Yup it creeped up there lol. Just another option. Hoping the price drops a little bit.

[@jasonh8470]

At $300 this isn’t a budget RC car anymore. With the growing popularity of RC cars every budget car is getting overpriced. It’s a cool truck but I’ll stick with name brand that has parts availability at my local hobby store or easily found online. Great bash video.

[@DerbyCityRC]

after watching this video i am not impressed what mjx got us here it just looks like a toy then a hobby toy it doesnt backflip easily center diff is very loose 47mph on 4s batterys are quite a bit more expensive compared to 3s and working on these just forget it even you couldnt remove a screw so i pick arrma granite allday especially for this price i think its better to pick up a ftx carnage its not a basher but quite perfect for beginners

[@cypherzz-_-5804]

Inflation blows

[@seanchristman9548]

At this price it just seems like a better idea to spend alittle more and get a granite. Great video!

[@zipzip8239]

Or an mt10

[@DerbyCityRC]

Yup I don’t disagree. Would have liked it to be priced around $260. $278 on Makerfire isn’t too bad though. I know part of the issue is the expense of shipping such a big box overseas. It does have the center diff though! Add that to the granite and it now costs over $100 more. Long term durability will be very telling! Thanks!! 😊

You might currently have the V1 version of the MJX 10208. MJX is now in the final stages of optimizing the V2 version, which includes significant improvements to the body structure, suspension system, and tires to address feedback from users. Therefore, the version that will officially go on sale is the upgraded V2 version, which will enhance overall performance and user experience.

[@DerbyCityRC]

lol right 😂

[@michaeldorich4485]

This is an excellent review. I was surprised that you didn't destroy more things with the head on crashes into the curb. You mentioned the ride height. You feel it should be higher for jumping. The lower ride height helps the handling. The body held up extremely well. It appears to be a very good truck. I don't think I ever heard the term, flabberjacking before. I like that.

[@DerbyCityRC]

Thanks! Yes the lower stance helps with handle but typically this type of truck doesn’t handle well so it can handle jumps lol. I always try to find the best center point but it slaps way too hard. 😂

[@dub2536]

My hyper go''s of the past, or immitation ones that were "clip less bodies", on 2 occasions failed. Fingers crossed on this one. They were 1/16, but both snapped below the rear of body where the plastic "hook" gets moved into grabing hold or clipping into position in rear of truck to then rotate the clip from outside to "snap into position".Traxxas aside from the "MAXX" like XRT, they have never failed me....yet. The Maxx body has often popped off on bad jump landings. Still love the MAXX tho. I am grateful you mentioned the "captured nuts" on this car. That is rare and 4 me a selling point imo. Your videos have benefited me over the years. I am grateful 4 that. TY n Happy trails!

[@mnakash77]

they made it look as if this one makes standing backflips all day. it certainly does not look so stock from the factory. maybe oil in main diff would help but that is kind of setting the expectation too high with their marketing video. I guess its good for the price yet not really as great as they made it out to be. would be interesting if you ever set the oil in the main dif and loose the wheelie bar and set to max punch to test the standing backflips thing. there are only a few rc cars that do it effortlessly as they showed in the marketing video.

[@DerbyCityRC]

Yup the first released video of theirs was way different. Another video I saw of theirs made it look like a slug. The reality is in between. I do have upgrades planned for it to see if it can handle.

[@Rangoli_rc]

That pathway to heaven jump was the loudest chassis slap in human history. Call Guinness book of world records. Pretty sure the passengers in that plane heard that 😂 crunchy as you say😂. Man this one looks good. Seems like a little more spice than the terminator that you placed in the background 🤔 ima get them both but I think this Mjx gotta come first. 👍✌🏼

[@DerbyCityRC]

It was sooo loud 😂 I originally mentioned the terminator early in the video but it didn’t make the cut so it just seems randomly placed lol. Dont get this one just yet, wait until we atleast have info on the version 2. It’s possible it’s already “on the way” to the suppliers, and it’s possible it hasn’t even been developed yet.

[@AussieRCPlayground]

Got yourself a new sub. 😎 Very fast paced video, almost to the point where I was tempted to play it at half speed just to keep up with what was going on. LoL. Maybe I'm just getting too old... But it was well put together, so well done. I just got mine today and so far I'm impressed with what I see. Does have a bit of play in the steering as you pointed out and their plastics are a bit soft, but it's a basher MT, its not like anyone will hit the track with this thing. You're more likely to hit the curb than a track, am I right? 😜 I think some thicker oil in the diff, maybe some hub extenders to add another 5-10mm each side and some better tyres (with more rotational mass) will help this beast. The suspension travel is a tough one to fix, but without the arms getting longer, I'm not sure longer shocks will make much difference. MJX did say they wanted feedback, so the best we can do is pass it on and hope they address it. 🙂

[@DerbyCityRC]

Hey thanks dude! Yup gotta watch out for those curbs 🤣 I absolutely agree longer arms along with the longer shocks. I’ve sent MJX a good list of needed improvements so hopefully we will get them on this supposed next version! BTW that H8H looks sweet!!

[@TheflyingkiwiRC]

@@BriansRCStuff I gave up on them. I have owned every Arrma 3s except the Granite and all went the same way. Constant diff issues, shocks and driveshafts breaking. ESCs failing, motors failing. I did bash hard and happy to fix normal wear and tear breakages but this was constant. My buddy couldn't get through a battery pack without his 3s Typhon breaking. Now that 6s Arrma Typhon is the complete opposite. I run mine on 4s and it very seldom breaks and parts don't wear out as quickly. That's an Arrma I can recommend.

[@DerbyCityRC]

I havent had all these issues with my 3s Arrmas but I’ve heard stories from other people lol. This is definitely a good entry and parts support hasn’t been a big issue for mjx as far as I know.

[@DerbyCityRC]

I agree! Yes the speed is good, but it should be able to get close to that with a 3s and not take a 4s. 4s should push us over 60, though that’s a bit insane for a monster truck lol would need to do it in a vacuum chamber with no air lol

I have to say the #12 solid conductors used to make your battery adaptor is probably fine but it just seams strange. 12 gage is rated for 20 amps but it will take quite a bit more. I think at about 50 amps of continuous load it starts to fail. Insulation melts and copper turns red. The hood scoop probably brought in enough air so keep the cable for heating up. ha ha I think for this application your safe. Nice job on this video as always.

@@DerbyCityRC You did great. Soldering might have taken more heat but I really don't know. As a retired electrician I just never really liked solid.

Hello! I am new to the hobby, only a month in and your videos have helped me greatly in determining what to buy. After one month I am up to 6 cars now, I'm sure you know how quickly you get hooked 😂. I have a question, is the grinding noise coming from the drivetrain normal on brand new cars or is this a sign that the gears don't have enough grease? Any input is appreciated. I just got the H14 BM yesterday and it rolls fine but makes some noise and I'm paranoid.

[@RCRoads]

That's a hard one to answer. It could be something as simple as gear mesh or even the gear pitch. I'm definitely not an expert on the subject but some cars make a grinding sound because for the gearing. I would check your mesh first to see if that helps. Normally people use one sheet of note paper to set mesh on a 48 pitch gear and 2 sheets on larger tooth gears. Hopefully the manual cover that.

[@DerbyCityRC]

Super glad you find the videos helpful! 😊 A true grinding sound would not be good, but a “clacking” sound is normal for a car with metal gears. It really does depend on what the exact noise is lol

[@RCRoads]

@@DerbyCityRC I agree. It really could be other things like a rock stuck between a drive shaft. I actually like the sound of metal gears grinding. The faster you go the better they sound.

I also enjoy the sound of straight cut gears singing, what kinda has me paranoid is I actually have 2 of the H14BMs and my first one, the one I run doesn't have that sound nearly as pronounced, I haven't even ran the second one yet mainly because of being paranoid because there's such a difference in the sound of the two when rolling. I'm probably just overreacting. I also just got the Carbon Omni Terminator and it's silky smooth, love it so far!

For that price i go with arrma granite or arrma big rock for the win!! Btw good video bro!!

[@DerbyCityRC]

I don’t blame you. Thanks!!

[@tariqrahman6918]

Wouldn’t that part blocking the air infer the hood be good to give a bit of down force and spread the air in both sides of the motor and whatever?!? Which would also help to not blow the shell off?? I donno maybe ?

[@DerbyCityRC]

That would be cool but no it won’t work like that unfortunately.

[@RC-Closer1313]

The three things you said , oh and the steering are in some email from MJX… so they are already fixing that sh!t now before they send out anymore. So that second one you bought will be a V1 collectors edition one day

[@DerbyCityRC]

I don’t think they mentioned anything about the steering to me. Not sure about the one I bought. It has yet to ship lol. It was supposed to ship on the 16th and now the website says the 30th. Literally no idea. Maybe I’ll get the v2 and maybe it won’t show up for 6 months!

[@peteralbury7724]

When you give hyper some feedback tell them to offer a clear body for the people that like to paint them 😊

I will 😄

YAY new video tbh i think mjx was a bit to silent about it i couldnt find any release dates and things

[@DerbyCityRC]

Ya they were, even a month ago they didn’t know when it was coming. In the flip side, people got upset with Rlaarlo for being too vocal about the Omni terminator lol No one knows what to do lol

[@politie_jip112]

@@DerbyCityRCwhat was the isseu with the omni terminator? to open with date?

[@DerbyCityRC]

Some didn’t like they hyped it up for a few months and couldn’t buy it yet. And when we finally got a date, it was still like a month away I think.

[@boduke9428]

​@@politie_jip112 after the long hype up it was still 6-8 weeks for delivery on pre orders but it didn't say that on the order page. In fact they offered 3-5 day expedited shipping for $10 extra. Then there was just weeks of total silence after orders were taken. They were in a much bigger hurry to start taking money than to ship product, or needed the money in order to ship them. All that opposed to the Mojave Grom I pre ordered a week or so ago and a far as I know I haven't been charged for until it ships and that will most likely be the next few days.

[@3SonsRC]

Nice video bro, You didn't add your End Screen Videos👍

[@DerbyCityRC]

Thanks man!! I did I just checked. So weird lol they’re definitely there. Darn glitches! lol

[@professional_hater885]

Its a cool truck but for that price I'd rather get a granite or senton

[@DerbyCityRC]

Ya I hear ya! It needs to be a little cheaper, but that center diff is a big bonus. Just needs some tuning.

[@RC-Closer1313]

Thanks!

[@daveeltringham8695]

I give it a few weeks and it'll become a project car. Or stripped for parts for a different project. 😂 that said, those beefy cvd's... do the fit the hbx 2996a?

[@DerbyCityRC]

Definitely will be a project car 😃 No they have much bigger wheel stubs 😢

[@DerbyCityRC]

Well I say that, but I’ll double check!

[@daveeltringham8695]

@DerbyCityRC was worth a shot, those things are chunky!

[@Nerm78]

That things looks like a little tank. I and kind of torn between it and a quantum flux 2 now!

[@DerbyCityRC]

I’m gonna try to get the quantum2 soon, but man not haven’t a center diff on a somewhat bigger car kinda hurts. I feel that will be the main thing I don’t like (and the looks lol)

[@Nerm78]

@DerbyCityRC yeah the no center diff does suck. I can't believe you don't like the looks though! I need the green one just for those ugly green wheels lol those are the wheels I wanted for my omni but I settled for the green 4x4 rustler wheels.

[@DerbyCityRC]

@Nerm78 lol never seen it in person, it just looks sooo….basic? Lol I’d probably go for green too 😆

[@beller2271]

In your opinion, which is a better choice, this or the Rlaarlo Omni Terminator?

[@DerbyCityRC]

The terminator is an overall better truck as far as engineering and build quality. It has its flaws like the diff cups, but it’s just so good. This one has the size, speed, and power, but overall I think I’d go with the terminator.

[@beller2271]

@@DerbyCityRC thanks. That's the one I'm going to go with then.

[@DerbyCityRC]

@beller2271 you’re welcome! Especially since you can get it on Amazon now

[@clarencelanguage1]

Noticing a lot of people mentioning that at $300usd it isn't quite worth buying anymore, and that they would rather pay a little extra to go with a bigger brand. However just to mention for any international viewers who are located near or in China, they are selling this car on Taobao for around $1100 rmb, or ~$150usd, which I would assume is a much better deal. Does make me wonder why the price difference between China and overseas is so big however... I don't think shipping would costs almost double the cost of the car.

[@DerbyCityRC]

Yes definitely the biggest complaint. I’m not sure about the shipping, but I do know that I’ve sent three raffall winner cars to different countries and each time it was $200 or more to ship. Bulk shipping would be less though so I have no idea what it works out to. Good information for sure!

[@rccarsandmusic2641]

The Sound on 4s! The Wheelies on 4s! OMG! This truck is a buy!

[@DerbyCityRC]

I know those high speed sounds were epic!!

[@erikturner5073]

It's a little pricy(to be called budget) but the features out the box 4S capability, and that MJX durability still makes it a worthy purchase in my opinion(the price is about right all things considered). I myself have a decent fleet including several MJX's, Hosim's, Arrma's, Redcat's, HBX's, etc.... Although you can get the same speed with a Granite 3S, the MJX is still a good buy and probably one of the rare 4S, 10 scale offerings on the market at this price range. That MJX motor is huge!😁They definitely need to bring the improved version 2 out soon. Also this should force a major price drop on the Hosim Venom.

[@DerbyCityRC]

Ya I didn’t really mean the car was budget, just mjx as a brand. Yup it’s faster than the WOV racing vehicles on 4s! Definitely hoping for future improvements!!

[@owen8538]

1 8 are my favourite now.I wanna see Mjx 1 8 kraton 6s size

[@DerbyCityRC]

That would be sweet if they did it right! Nothing like a 1/8. So awesome!

[@majinbuuog6699]

Looks like a fun truck . Any idea on how to contact mjx ? Having issues with a product. Can't find a phone number anywhere

[@thomaswalton9089]

It's cool but idk man at that price I'm going with arrma 3s line all day or better yet a used 6s on FB market... If they can get this car at 150$ I might check out

[@DerbyCityRC]

Banggood has it listed for $250. Hopefully it stays there, it’s worth that, but ya I definitely hear ya on not spending too much more for better!

[@zipzip8239]

Cool truck though way too slow on 3s. I look forward to seeing you fix it up.

play on the inside wheel doesn't really matter because the weight will be on the outside wheel

[@DerbyCityRC]

Can’t blame ya there man!! 😃

[@marvinhubbard8885]

Is this a true 10th scale or is it a in between 10th scale ???

[@DerbyCityRC]

I compared the size to three different vehicles here. It’s a true 1/10

[@RC-Closer1313]

Hah!! Shock and tire problems!!! I knew it was going to surface…

[@DerbyCityRC]

How typical!

[@dimademochkin3028]

How does thicker diff fluid help?

[@DerbyCityRC]

So the center diff allows power to bleed away from one axle (front or rear) to the other. If there’s very thin fluid in the center diff, it can bleed very easily. Thicker fluid will make it harder for the gears to spin, making it more difficult to bleed power to the other axle. So when the car wheelies, all the weight is on the rear wheels, making power bleed to the fronts, causing the car to loose speed and make the front wheels spin much faster than the rears are. Thicker fluid makes that more difficult so more power to the rear wheels and less excessive speed to the front. Hope that makes sense.

[@leonwhite413]

Rumor has it that MJX is making a V2 of this truck before release to address the body latch and other issues. Can you look into this for us?

[@DerbyCityRC]

I’m curious if this already has an updated body latch..one of the videos I saw from mjx previously, the body popped off like every other jump. All I know is mjx is looking for suggestions on the next version but no idea when that would be. They’re gonna see this video, but I’m gonna talk with them directly as well.

[@cypherzz-_-5804]

They are I talked to them and my order from Makerfire will be v2 and cost me $258 at the mid or end of july shipping.

[@gothbricks2000]

Finally, a budget 1:10! If only it didn’t look so… boring. Would love it if they had just upsized the 14210 body.

[@DerbyCityRC]

Yup! The 14210 body (making this car a 10210?) would have been much better I agree. This body is just like the 16208.

[@tobybennett6582]

LOL the wheelie bar doesn't let the car go back that far because of how low The stance is that you don't like.

Reminds me of a budget traxxas maxx. A lot of the parts looks like traxxas parts

[@nickdavaine9041]

How does it compare to the Rlaarlo 1/10?

[@DerbyCityRC]

In overall quality, the Rlaarlo is better made and probably uses better materials. Drives and jumps nicer too. The only real downside about the car itself is it’s a bit closer to 1/12 scale and it’s a good bit slower. But atleast they offer a roller version if you want to put your own motor combo in it. More customer service complaints about rlaarlo too. Supposedly there are revisions in the next few weeks to months on this car, but for now, I think I’d choose the rlaarlo.

[@BLACKZULU74]

Sooo Derby what are we going to do about the ground clearance??? And the 12mm hex are the same as the am d12, so regular extension will not work 😡

[@DerbyCityRC]

Longer shocks will be my first attempt. I have a few plans to try so we will see. I wouldn’t try extensions I think the truck is too heavy.
