I Made The Ultimate Upgraded MJX Hyper Go 10208 & It's INSANE!

Today we are going to upgrade everything on the MJX Hyper Go 10208 RC Basher Monster Truck! Willi it make it a better 1/10 scale basher than the Arrma Granite or Big Rock? Will it be a better deal than The Traxxas Stampede? Let's find out!

[@DerbyCityRC]

Beat me to it! Badlands and all 😂 That was super awesome, man!

[@DoRC]

Yeah it came out pretty sweet!

[@richiesavino9653]

You should do it anyway 🤘I’ll watch it haha

[@rudysrc6652]

I really like that you take the cars apart before driving them. It’s important to know what we’re buying! You rock dude!

[@DoRC]

Yeah I'd be taking them apart either way so might as well bring you guys along for the ride :-)

[@peteralbury7724]

You put out the most informative to the point videos. Awesome as always 😊

[@DoRC]

Thanks Glad you enjoy :-)

[@rantsandreviews]

Several months ago when I came across your videos I thought "man that guy can't land a jump to save his life"...Then I realized you were doing it on purpose as part of your evaluation...LOL!

[@DoRC]

Yeah I actually started putting more clips of me landing properly in my videos because so many people complained about my driving :-). You're right though I do crash intentionally a lot because most modern vehicles can handle a proper landing from pretty much any height. It's what happens when they don't land properly that matters!

[@coyotex850]

i like that you gave this car a fair shot, no rc is perfect out the box and this platform seems solid as hell

[@DoRC]

I agree. I was not easy on this thing and it's pretty rare for a car to make it all the way through my evaluation without breaking at all.

[@xgaustinxg3413]

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.

[@MrGoldmember2]

Glad to see this video make it out. Love the detailed analysis on how you upgrade. Thanks man!

[@DoRC]

Glad you enjoyed and thanks for watching :-)

[@sheakeagle8597]

I really enjoy the way you do the videos. Good explanations and showing details that helps the rc enthusiasts.

[@DoRC]

Yeah this is the kind of stuff I would be doing even if I wasn't recording so I'm happy to share it :-)

[@RCvapor]

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 👍🏻

[@DoRC]

Yeah it's hard to go wrong for the price. I keep a few of them on hand for just this sort of occasion.

[@sebcasiez9988]

i love how you take the cars apart before driving them. It really shows the quality of the car. Thanks man!

[@MehmetSutas]

You were really quick. I was not expecting this upgrade video sooner than a week

Hi Do Watch you all the time. When I have issues I look up your videos cuz you're so thorough about everything I can see everything and I don't have to take it apart You have a lot of knowledge I enjoy watching all your videos

😢great video as always,I haven't came across any channel do what you do as far as taking every rc you test fully apart to show everyone the quality of the build and just proper maintenance. Keep the videos coming. Other people as well as my self learn something on all your videoos!!!!!

[@DoRC]

Glad you're enjoying and there's plenty more to come!

[@MichaelGraves-re6uv]

Thanks for doing the modifications to the truck. I may have to seriously consider one. Love the channel.

[@ThisisTyy]

Looks like a blast, love when you can see the dust/dirt rip up through the grass like that at the beginning of the rip session lol looks so epic

[@DoRC]

Yeah I really like doing the slow-mo stuff!

[@augustin84d]

This lil' truck is becoming more and more appealing to me after seeing your videos. And, at approx $250, it's a must have; I think I'm gonna replace my brushless E-Maxx with one of these and maybe an Omni Terminator. Keep the videos coming.

[@DoRC]

Yeah this would be a massive step up in terms of durability from the emacs. I think it'd be a little bit smaller but a lot more capable

[@scotnoco]

Hoping to see other versions and designs with this size! Great review btw!

[@DoRC]

Yeah it'll be interesting to see what different styles they come up with using the same chassis.

[@tamatane8084]

Nice, I've been eyeing off this MJX. Pretty keen now after watching this vid. Loving your work as always. Keep up the great work👍🏼

[@DoRC]

With the experience I have now on the truck I'd say it's definitely worth picking up especially at the aliexpress.

[@lyleburns2640]

Awesome video man I love watching you take them apart. Thanks for doing the giveaway and Good luck to everyone

[@DoRC]

Glad you enjoy!

[@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.

[@ChrisJohnson-gq6lc]

Excellent video, great info, not too short or long. Keep on rolling.

[@DoRC]

Will do!

[@TheSaintBoss]

Love your videos, great to learn a lot about the hobby and the tech behind it

[@DoRC]

Glad you enjoy thanks for watching :-)

[@irish33rc9]

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

[@DoRC]

TC definitely has been making moves lately!

[@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

[@blakamin]

Those wheels are awesome, the way you can change the hex. And I've changed all my cars over 1/14 scale to EC5 and it makes a difference! I always tape my battery leads when I cut each one. I'd also love to win a servo😁

[@DoRC]

I'm surprised that EC5 would make much of a difference at that scale is those ESCs don't usually flow a lot of current but bigger is better.

[@jaymyers9899]

Top notch Sir thank you ! Appreciate the upgrades so fast and the chance to win a servo 🙏

[@DoRC]

Glad you enjoyed the drawing will be soon!

[@s33m3shine3FPV]

Dude your channel is great man i actually look forward for new vids to drop! Between the information and testing you do with these trucks it takes the guessing out of buying/upgrading our touys lol . One of a kind brother! I do need a servo btw the motor in my spectrum just hit tha dirt, go figure tho right! Take it easy

What you saw in the original video is the final version.

[@haafpv5254]

Nice little truck. First upgrade video I've seen. 😊

[@DoRC]

Yeah it's only been out a little while.

[@mccuskerda]

Thanks for another great video and build

[@DoRC]

You're welcome thanks for watching!

[@Hobz79]

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]

Oh, and your videos are awesome. I've learned a few tricks from your channel so please keep on offering those little tidbits :)

[@DoRC]

Maybe though I'm not going to lie I've already popped a couple of these caps off on the MT-410 2.0. never had a problem on any of the others from tekno So not sure why.

[@rozzleshnozzle9793]

Ooh, love the new shocks! Haven't seen it rip yet, so hopefully they work as good as they look

[@DoRC]

Yeah they're not too bad.

[@rcfools]

Best video yet on the MJX Hyper Go 10208. Too much misinformation out there on this model. Personally, at the current price point, I would give this model a miss. Better out there already.

[@DoRC]

Well hopefully the information I'm giving you is accurate. I'm getting it straight from MJX so it should be. Overall I think this is a pretty good deal. Especially at the $260 AliExpress price it undercuts a lot of the competition and has a lot to offer.

[@rcfools]

@@DoRC You're doing a great job as always fella. I actually un-followed a channel the other day regarding this car and the misinformation being spread out there.

[@DoRC]

@@rcfools I'm glad you're enjoying!

[@joeymendoza3859]

Great video as usual and i like what you did with thing! Looks like a beast! i was happy to see that esc you used as I've been considering grabbing one of those combos for quite a while now 😅

[@DoRC]

It's not a perfect ESC but I think it's the best value for money on the budget side.

[@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.

[@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!

[@_jkae_]

epic video, youre very well spoken and easy to watch.

[@DoRC]

Thanks Glad you enjoyed :-)

[@lyricofwise6894]

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.

[@skree_fpv436]

I always replace plastic servo horns with the same ones you do. I also just finished modding my No Cry driver per your instructions. It's perfect now. Thanks for that.

[@DoRC]

The gorilla clear dbl sided tape is real sticky . Super sticky . I still haven’t had any issues with the red m3 kind you used . Great build as always 👍. I ll bet them badlands made a world of difference .

[@DoRC]

Yeah I'm sure there are other options for double-sided tape. The bulk of my experience has been with VHB and I've had Good luck with it so I've never really tried anything else

[@Boogie_the_cat]

The gorilla stuff is so strong, when I needed to remove it, I had to have a heat gun and a big thin spudger and a lot of time and patience. That stuff is nuts on porous surfaces at least.

[@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 :-)

@@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]

@@lu22334 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.

[@Crawlingrc3903]

It seems it needs longer control arms with the longer shocks

[@DoRC]

Eh maybe but I feel like you could just keep changing parts out until you had a completely different truck. To be honest this thing's fun right out of the box. None of these upgrades really needed to be done. That being said the proline tires do make it about an inch wider overall from the stock tires so that's similar to increasing the arm width.

[@SoundStream101]

Man the more times i see this truck in action the closer my finger gets to squeezin the trigger on purchasing one.😮😂

[@DoRC]

Honestly at the price you can get them for on AliExpress I really think it's worth getting. This thing's a little tank and even stock it's a lot of fun.

[@T0x1c0v3r]

Hi! Great video! Your channel is one of the best IMO. Wish you had much more cars to review and bash ) Well, the sweet part kinda ends here ) To be honest, I'm kinda tekno-boy, sooo I got my s burning, when you say tekno shocks aren't up to the task. You're supposed to have the droop screws so the shocks do not overextend. Maybe that's why the caps blow off )

[@DoRC]

Yeah it's possible but to be fair I have also had the same thing happen on the MT-410 2.0 with the droop screw set correctly so I think It's a weak point with the shocks.

[@T0x1c0v3r]

@@DoRC fair enough ) well yes, plastic shock caps often don't stay on anyway. One of possible reasons, ithink, that droop screws get pushed through the arms. The stiffer the springs - the faster.

[@DoRC]

@@T0x1c0v3r Yeah it's entirely possible but I will say that I've had lots of other cars with plastic shock caps that didn't fail. It is a little disappointing to have such a fundamental thing be a weak point on such an expensive car.

[@T0x1c0v3r]

@@DoRC Tekno's are commonly very good for racing, but when they do a "basher", it's always the same lightweight racing parts. One of the best options is to sell the light parts, when they are still new and get tougher part

[@DoRC]

@@T0x1c0v3r oh yeah for sure. They're just really weren't very many tougher parts available when I got my MT410 2.0. I pre-ordered it and put it together the first few days it was out. I haven't really messed with it a whole lot since then. Tekno has aluminum shock caps available.

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.
