I always appreciate your RTR reviews, some folks run it and it performs exceptionally well only to tell you that it has been modded. You actually run this factory stock straight out the box. It gives folks a realistic demo before purchasing. I love that ARRMA jumped into this market, the GROM series are a fantastic starting point for newbies and re-entry. Great job as always! You think they'll do something like a 1/12 or 1/16 Limitless? Would be cool since HH did release the 1/12 Nascar.

MJX Hyper Go makes a competent Infraction-style road car that absolutely rips. I've got the rally car version and I've beat the living shizz out of it for months. You can get it with 3S included and it does like 40mph out of the box.

My stock one is awesome, and I am glad that I bought it. I run it on the slower speed, and it is still really fast. The brushed motor gets real hot, so I won't be using it on hot summer days. However, it's hard to beat the HBX 1/18 and HBX 1/16 brushless trucks for less money.

Ok so 3 days with it and ive got a couple complaints about it. 1st is the battery onnector. We get space for a bigger battery but the ic2 is extremely limited right now. 2nd is the plastic cvd cups and plastic planetary gears in the diff. 3rd is the radio/servo, its way too sensitive for how quick this truck is. Its a great model and the point is to get the people into the brand, not just the hobby. Its a long wait for january, so be easy with it.

@BobPavlow10 ай бұрын
Exactly. You just mentioned the main reason why most people will never buy the WL Toys, or MJX, or any of the other China junks. You have to wait weeks for parts support. A little less money, and a little more speed, are not worth terrible parts support. What’s fun about an RC sitting on your work bench waiting nearly a month for parts? I had an MJX hyper go. Loved it at first. But the novelty wore off fast when things started going wrong and I was waiting on parts more than I was driving it. When the parts finally arrived the last time, I fixed it and gave it to my neighbors kids. Parts support alone will make the Grom worth it.

@woutervanwijk436910 ай бұрын
@@BobPavlow thing is that these brands are also finding their way to local hobby shops. Near my place there's a store selling a lot of the Horizon brands like Arrma and Losi, but also wltoys. Including parts in stock. That makes these brands extra attractive because parts are cheap. Just a small percentage more expensive than Chinese webshops and sometimes even cheaper. I disagree that it's all junk. It might be built to its price but if you use that as a reference some of the a-brands are often built sub par compared to their price. They now also sell FTX, MJX and Maverick, electronics from Castle to Surpass hobby etc.
