I'd love to see some longer Arms added to this truck to make the stance wider and provide some better anti-tip performance. But time will tell what would work here for that. I love the 2997A arms on my 1/16 Hyper go

[@DoRC]

The Badlands do make it about an inch wider overall which does help but it is pretty heavily counteracted by the increased suspension down travel.

Great upgrade video, your vids are always great for seeing how it is to work on the rc👍 Also wanted to see the standing backflips that was shown on the promo video, either on stock or this lol, did you happen to do them accidently?

[@DoRC]

I tried in the dirt but wasn't successful. I think you need thicker center differential fluid. I'm guessing they had the center differential pretty much locked up in those test videos.

Great upgrades there, the hobbywing esc is my go to for 3s and 4s 1/10 cars, great budget esc, this car looks like a good deal here in the UK 👍🏻

[@benniullrich2237]

Very informative, I was curious to see, how this truck handles and endures the bashing. What would you reckon, which one is it worth to spend around 275,- €or$. MJX10208 / TM E5HX ARR / Rlaarlo Carbon Roller or are these trucks not comparable? Cheers

[@DoRC]

I don't really have much experience with team magic cars so I can't comment on that. The OT is a pretty good truck those smaller than these. I think the 10208 is a decent vehicle though if you're looking for a first car or your only basher you might want to go with something that has a bit more time under its belt as no one really knows how this thing's going to do long-term yet.

[@benniullrich2237]

👍​@@DoRC

[@RoostedFilms]

Good upgrades. A guy could definitely do better than those Techno shocks but they did work & you had them on hand . The ESC really brought that rig to life. 42mph is plenty for a basher rig. That servo would make a nice addition to almost any 1/10 scale running a stock servo from the big 2.

[@DoRC]

Yeah I'm sure there are plenty of options for shocks. These did work okay but are certainly not the best choice. I have no doubt someone else will come up with a better solution

[@AussieRCPlayground]

I don't think I have any shocks that fit mine, at least, none that I've found yet, but I did extend track width and switch to 17mm hexes to use thos same tyres you used in this video. I might also try and switch out the ESC as well and probably the servo as well while I'm at it. 🙂

[@DoRC]

The taller tires and wider stance will give you effectively more suspension travel so that might be all you need. I did find that the hobby wing ESC really woke it up. Let me know how it goes!

Thanks for giving your expertise on why these RC's break ! I want to buy one and yet cannot see a box unit with a no limit price that won't break from simple bashing !? I would purchase the Arrma Kraton 8s or 6s or Losi DBXL -E2.0 or any other high end model, if you can help to point me in a direction that you get the value you expect for 1G or more ! Thanks for doing what you do as it certainly helps see what works and doesn't without having to learn the hard way and regret you bought into a problem.... Don't get me wrong that I do expect to replace parts that will break, yet that should not be the case from what you show me on the new Lasetnut 1/6 8ight-X and many other models.....

I have beat the ever living snot out of my tekno SCT for years, like 60mph launches off ramps on asphalt and i have never broken a shock so it's impressive that you managed to! They do sell metal caps for them but i never saw a reason to do so. Perhaps it got twisted sideways by the a-arm during a bad hit and the upper rod end didn't have enough angular travel so the cap got wrenched off

[@Hobz79]

Nice review, I'm glad to see all hex hardware but I'm still leery of these Chinese brands. You can get a Maverick Quantum2 Flux for $275 at Amain Hobbies vs $250 and waiting for the slow boat from China. The earlier Maverick Quantum trucks had some issues from what I've seen, but the newer versions have been fixed apparently which is why Amain is willing to sell them now. Would love to see you do a review of a Maverick Quantum2 Flux and compare to this MJX.

Stay tuned. I've got the new pre-ordered. I kind of missed the boat on the monster truck so I'm excited to get this one.

[@jagergerg9771]

I totally agree with you on the Amazon servos, they are somewhat powerful, but very slow. Still worth the money

[@DoRC]

Yeah I think it just depends on what you're sensitive to. I'm so used to fast servos that I find I actually have trouble controlling the vehicle when the servo is too slow because it always feels like I'm fighting it.

No it's all live. No scripts no voiceovers. The only time I will not have the audio synced with the video is if I'm doing a sped up section like when I did the three tires and I speak over it.

[@jamesbrown7758]

Great video. I always learn something from your videos. I’m going to try one of those servo horns you mentioned on a hammer rey to see if it improves handling…🤞

[@DoRC]

It may or may not. In this case the stock servo horn was physically loose which meant that it would never center the same way twice but if the servo horn you already have doesn't have any problems upgrading it probably isn't going to make much difference. That being said it's a cheap thing to try so go for it :-)

[@drewjayy8495]

Did the ESC upgrade make much of a difference? Considering buying but a shame you loose the bluetooth programmability. Cheers

[@DoRC]

It definitely made it snappier but for general use the stock ESC is pretty decent. The programmability is nice but at least in my experience once you do initial adjustments to an ESC you rarely touch it so I'm not sure how much of an advantage it really is long-term.

Is there any way to know if it ever consumed more than 60A and changing connector made any sense?

[@DoRC]

Maybe. If the ESC is capable of doing data logging you can use that to see what kind of current drawings but the other way would just be to run it hard and then put your hand on the connector. It feels warm or hot that means it's dissipating a lot of energy and probably is undersized.

What are the little adjustable small pliers you use in a lot of your videos?

Knipex pliers wrench. Not cheap but absolutely worth it!

[@boduke9428]

Those bent shocks will probably be very common with the amount of flex that chassis has. All that plastic will bend a lot more than metal shocks. Might actually be a good candidate for some 3s Arrma plastic shocks.

[@DoRC]

I might agree except I popped the caps on the same shocks in their original vehicle which has an aluminum chassis. I think it's just a weakness of the shocks.

[@Macgyver46]

What do you think of my plan to covert a TLR typhon into a notorious stunt truck? I already bash it like a truck so why not. Only thing I'm not sure about is if the shock towers will work . Will definitely be an interesting project.

[@DoRC]

Honestly by the time you convert everything you'd probably be better off just selling the Typhon and getting a notorious. It would be a cool project but I'm not sure it would be the most financially sound option. Have you tried just putting some of these same 2.8 Badlands on your Typhon. Monster buggies are pretty cool.

[@Macgyver46]

@DoRC I can get the parts from jennysrc for about 250 for what I would need that I don't have already. This typhon is highly modified especially with RGB under-glow lights wirh specially made metal channels for the light strips. I tried monster truck tires once without adding long arms it just hit the body. I've seen truggified typhons. I basically want to keep as much of the TLR Stuff as possible especially the chassis. Took 3 years of playing with under-glow to find a solution that can take a beating and not break lights. 😊

[@DoRC]

@@Macgyver46 okay sounds like you have a pretty good plan in mind then. A lot of times people want to do these things but haven't really thought it through. I'd say go for it!

[@Macgyver46]

Does the xt60 plug effect the C rating on the battery?

[@DoRC]

It doesn't affect the c rating of the battery itself but it can affect the amount of power it can actually deliver so in effect kind of. The connector is a point of resistance and it's kind of like sticking a light bulb in the middle of the wiring. It will turn some of the energy coming from the battery into heat and the smaller the connector the worse that effect will be.

Yeah I normally use anti-Spark XT90s and QS8s but the ESC I put in already had an EC5 on it which is the sole reason why I ended up using an EC5 on the battery:)

[@TheflyingkiwiRC]

Use an IC5 connector instead. Super easy to solder, no clicking on required 😂

[@dylanwhite6539]

@@TheflyingkiwiRC yea I’m not doing that. One pair of IC5 is the same cost as FIVE PAIRS of xt90 anti spark or ten pairs of sparking type. Horizon can suck my dick for that. If anything. I’d get a few SC5s to start. I guess IC5 isn’t bad if you but a bulk pack but I’d be pissed the day I was one connector short and had to spend $60 to not get price gouged. Also, with the few times I’ve used IC5, I’ve melted the connector in half of them, so I think the plastic they use is shit. I’ve never melted a amass connector

I guess I am going to have to get me one of these. I was worried about the ride hight but after seeing this it's kind of a simple fix! Give me that servo!

[@DoRC]

Yeah it seems to handle the extra down travel pretty easily though The best way to increase ride height in my opinion is just to go with bigger tires. The 2.8 Badlands seem like a great option.

@DoRC great entertaining video btw!

Thanks Glad you enjoyed :-)

[@nickteele169]

I wonder what arrma 6s shocks would fit it. Typhon maybe

[@DoRC]

I took a look at a couple I had on hand and they were too long.

[@nickteele169]

@@DoRC the vorteks has the same issue. The shocks are just odd enough of a length

[@cstone1180]

keep up the good content man love watching your vids have a good 4th of july

[@DoRC]

Thanks you too!

[@SteveSchmied-vv1pt]

Great video as always!

[@DoRC]

Thanks :-)

[@Nunez_rc]

That came out better than I expected

[@DoRC]

Yeah I figured most of the upgrades would be great but I was pretty skeptical about the shocks. I wasn't sure I was going to find a set that I already had which would work properly but they seem good other than the fact that they broke :-)

[@Nunez_rc]

@@DoRC I’m actually modding a Losi mini non prep to be a dirt racer. Any advice to keep the ball ends clipped in?

[@DoRC]

@@Nunez_rc Not really unfortunately. If they are coming apart the best thing to do would be to either find a substitute that would be stronger or if you could figure out some way to screw the ends in instead of using the ball end so that you give it a washer on top of it to prevent them from coming apart That might work.

[@irish33rc9]

Team corally for the win! Mjx stepping things up tho.

[@DoRC]

TC definitely has been making moves lately!

[@dangrady2938]

Sweet machine , cheap basher and durable 😊 MJX for the win . I reckon those expensive company’s are going to be losing some serious dollars now 😅

[@DoRC]

Maybe though it seems like it takes a long time for new companies to gain traction in the hobby. TC has been making some really good cars they've got strong aftermarket support and they've been doing it for a while. They're just now starting to seemingly be taken seriously by The mainstream in the hobby.

[@shaunodriscoll]

Maybe some of the bigger manufacturers should take a leaf out of the MJX book! Cool video

[@DoRC]

This thing's definitely got the goods where it counts!

[@TheflyingkiwiRC]

Some nice upgrades mate 😊

[@DoRC]

Yeah it's really decent stock but this definitely wakes it up!

[@vitolucero3253]

Gonna do this to mine for sure when I get it!

[@DoRC]

It's definitely a fun upgrade!
