For my own long-term test of the MJX, i ran mine every day within the 30 day return window. The rear diff broke on two different trucks within 3 weeks. And that's not jumping or anything. They don't offer steel diffs so i returned and bought a Granite BLX with steel diff upgrades. Cost a whole lot more, but no throttle delay either. The aftermarket support was not great.

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

@ValRC1Ай бұрын
The connector needed for the battery is a T-Plug/Deans. As for the diffs, I think those are non-sealed on this car so just grease, no oil. You can get bearing oil which works great for the bearings. The shocks need thin silicone oil, I've never redone mine so I don't know which exact viscosity is optimal for this car.

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.

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?

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! 😊

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

The radio and reciever it came with is good..the esc is the lagging issue...its either defective or not a good match for the motor...

Or maybe you did get a defective tx and rx with it.

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 KZbin channels reviewing things purely for the money or to get another free car are "stupid".
