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

[@DerbyCityRC]

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.

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.

[@politie_jip112]

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!! 😊

[@DerbyCityRC]

Definitely a good one!

[@lyricofwise6894]

@lyricofwise6894 as far as I know this is a version 1. I’ve heard rumors of the v2 but I know nothing about it or when it would be out. If so, hopefully soon but I imagine it would take time to re-engineer things lol

[@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!

Bluetooth to an app on your phone to adjust the ESC is pretty sweet. The big brands should follow suit.

I like Hyper go cars (I like a bunch of brands) I also find getting parts are 24 hours away most times. They hold up really well (as well as my more expensive cars for the most part) I just got in the hobby June 15 of this year and went hay wire (bought over 40 cars) I’ll post some videos today. I have at least 7 more coming this week. Just ordered the red cat drifter it’s on sale for $350 at Amazon. My first only drifter car.

[@troypowell2403]

Santa brought me one of those for Christmas about two weeks ago. It’s fun nice little car if you try not to break it it’s tough and durable enough I guess. It’s a lot of fun, but I got oversized 4s batteries. I saw the 100 C so I wanted it, but the voltage is a little higher than what it is supposed to have with a snail .I don’t know my battery math very well, but it works. Next battery I will figure out so it will go faster, but I would really like to figure out how to upgrade to a 6S. I really like the hyper go, but I need a 6S or else I won’t be happy.

[@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!

[@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. 😂

[@Fuppet]

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.

[@DerbyCityRC]

I do too!

[@Fuppet]

@@DerbyCityRC Thanks for responding! 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!

[@davidwiese508]

What is a safe operating temperature for the motor and battery?

[@Boogie_the_cat]

Motor: do not go above 212 degrees, because at that temperature the magnets lose magnetism and fly off the shaft. ESC: not above 200 degrees, usually they have their own thermal cutoff. Most motors do not have a thermal cutoff, they will operate no matter how hot they are. If you're not using the imperial measurements, Motor: 100 Celsius ESC: 95 Celsius Hope this helps. You could also have googled the info, it's not hard.

[@allthesmolthings]

Its nice to see mjx listened to our complaints about the 1/16 hypergo. The steering on this 1/10 is a step up atleast and 5mm is what i put on my 1/16 and the 35kg steering servo. Is more than enough power. What is a let down is the speed for it expected alot better. Tbh

[@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

Hey, I've got a hyper go h16bm for my kid and the rear end is like open differential is this normal? If not what part do I need? The upgraded differential? Love the content btw.

[@Boogie_the_cat]

If your diff is open then likely it wasn't greased from the factory. Or the grease came out because it's not a sealed diff. You'd have to open up the diff and put some earplugs in there, or possibly very thick fluid: 100,000 weight diff fluid. I think the upgraded diffs still don't have a seal. If you don't have diff fluid or silicone earplugs, just put the thickest grease you can find in the diff. Sometimes they forget to add grease from factory, sometimes the grease comes out from loose screws.

[@Unknownbrand]

@Boogie_the_cat Yeah, I put a new one in and lots of grease. It had grease, but the pinion got chewed and messed it up. Had to just replace the front as well. Now it's 4x4 again with a new servo 👌

[@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.

[@Makerfire]

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]

[@RCRoads]

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.

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.

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.

Another good video, thank you

Thanks and you’re welcome!!

Apart from it sounding like a carton of eggs when it lands, it seems pretty good 😂awesome review by the way 💯👌🤙🇬🇧

[@cypherzz-_-5804]

Is this the V2? Cause I ordered the Version 2

[@DerbyCityRC]

No idea. As far as I know, a real v2 hasn’t been released. I think they may have improved the body latch as it works much better than I saw in a previous mjx video. From what I’ve heard, they’re gonna use these reviews to make improvements for a v2, but that would take some time.

[@cypherzz-_-5804]

@@DerbyCityRC I ordered the improved version from makerfire. I talked to customer support and they confirmed it maybe mid july or end of july.

[@DerbyCityRC]

Good to know!

[@usbsol]

Almost half price of the Granite... seems like a good deal. Thanks for the vid 🤙

[@DerbyCityRC]

They just lowered the price on the US to get us closer to that I think. Definitely seems like an even better deal outside the US. Thanks!! 😊

Great video, these are going fly off the shelf, laughing at all the not a budget RC anymore comments

[@DerbyCityRC]

Thanks!! Well they did fly off the shelves 😂 MJX seems to have taken them until they upgrade to the V2. We will see what happens but it’s a very good start. Hopefully they can get this sorted out quickly and accurately.

[@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.

[@LarryBaynum-jw8og]

[@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!!

[@jat08202010]

They same thing happened to my mjx the 1/14 truggy I broke a shock tower and couldn’t get the chassis brace off

[@DerbyCityRC]

I’ve heard that bc complaint a lot, I was actually able to on mine. Maybe mine was a later model and these used less loctite. Or earlier one lol. But ya this one it’s just drowning in loctite.

[@DerbyCityRC]

What did you think?

[@L2theWcarscoffeelife]

I wish Rlaarlo would do that for the esc it gets old being locked out of programming I never noticed the hard braking issue on the Omni Terminator until I swapped remotes. I am noticing these makers are trying to see how far the can push the price and still sell these at 100-150 yes as they get 200 plus that makes it hard to choose these at least for me anyways, cool vid as usual

[@DerbyCityRC]

Ya they’re slowly raising prices, I see it too. I guess it’s like anything else.. definitely hear ya on that!! Thanks!!

No differences at all. supposed to be a version 2 in the next few months maybe, but we don't know what it will be or if it will be the same price lol i also just did an upgrade video on this car so adding those minor things make it even better!

Upgrade RC makes some nice 10th scale tires. I got the Dirt Claws for my Granite, I think that's what they are called.

[@Boogie_the_cat]

Those Upgrade RC tires rock. Never had one come unglued. AMain Hobbies offers easy replacement for any issues. Grips for days, deep tread. Lasted longer than 2 sets of Arrma Dboots tires.

[@OB_RC]

I think I messed up man. I ordered the 3S Lipo for my hyper 1/14 scale and through some paddle tires on it. after a couple of runs, it turned into a front wheel drive. I'm assuming I trashed the rear Differential. It's a manually turn a rear wheel. The other one does not turn like it used to any advice would be really helpful used to be pretty good at fixing these things but it's been years. I feel like a noob again. Please help.

[@OB_RC]

It's actually a 1/16 scale. If that makes a difference.

[@DerbyCityRC]

Oh no! So for one, the diffs on the 1/16 scales are a weak point, unless they started putting the upgraded ones in which I’m not sure. But it’s also possible you just busted a while pin or axle pin. Make sure the full axle spins along with the wheel. Typically when you blow a diff it will give you warning signs or make a terrible noise. Hopefully that helps, let me know what you find!

[@OB_RC]

@@DerbyCityRC just got done taking the rear differential apart one of the small gears inside is trashed. Is it hard to find a new rear diff for these cars? Or do you just order the little gears that are inside the diff appreciate your help on this. Trying hard to get back into this hobby.

Can you recommend a replacement part for it? I've seen quite a few on Amazon. Wasn't sure if one would be better than the other.

@DerbyCityRC just a cheap one off AliExpress, I was finding it hard to get an AU plug. And I hate the cheap adaptors they send out. Had a bad experience a few years back when one melted down and almost caught on fire. Problem is I bought the batteries from a different store than I got the car. Now the car will turn up about 3 weeks before the batteries 🤣... does the 10208 run on 2's at all?

[@prokuratordziurawdupie]

I hope they ll build a 1/10 buggy, or maybe it is possible to rebuild this monster into a buggy?

[@DerbyCityRC]

Also a drift car would be cool! I’d say with the suspension already being low, new tires and finding a body to fit, you’re about there lol

[@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!!

[@DerbyCityRC]

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

[@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!
