MJX HyperGo-Better with bigger tires?

[@DerbyCityRC]

Great choice and thanks for watching!!

[@user-nu2pp5tc5q]

Wow, the exact same thing happened to mine when I tried to put the bigger tires on. Broke the same pin and broke a tooth off the drive shaft gear. Needless to say went back to the smaller tires. I also (during a jump and hard landing) had the back shock tower break along with one of the rear shocks. Parts are available though so should be getting them today and will finish putting it back together tonight. Oh well, that's why you call it a hobby. Working on them is all part of it!!

[@DerbyCityRC]

I don’t doubt it lol. Once it went on 3s with those bigger tires, it didn’t take long lol. But I agree, I like the wrenching side too.

I am running these exact tires on exact same car. I use 15mm spacers. Only run 2s This setup is PERFECT for ramp bashing.. 100% more control in the air.. the mjx hyper go brushless 16th scale went from super to amazing

Yes the tires were awesome til it ‘sploded my diff lol. I was on 3s though 😆

Wowowowow, The performance is crazy. Those smooth beautiful back flips from standing. WOW! I am going to order some pins like this and those tires to rip off this crazy little car. Great bashing.

[@DerbyCityRC]

It was definitely fun. I also would recommend a stronger servo. The steering is absolutely terrible with those wheels. Also, get some wheel spacers that are longer than 15mm. The pins in the diffs are not your typical 10mm length, so be sure to order the correct ones 👍👍 After that it should be great lol

I've been waiting for you to drop a full bash comparison, thanks btw.

Awesome experiment Evan! Those MJx’s are wicked tough as is out of the box. I agree those bigger tires didn’t help it though. Would love to see a video of these two ducking it out in stock trim. Just the way they came. I didn’t realize mjx shared parts with hbx… hmmm that’s really good to know! Thanks and great luck my friend!✌🏻😋👍🏻

3:36 - the same happened to my son's MJX 16208, I used a small drill and drilled the broken off screw from the bottom and the drill "grabbing" the broken screw from the bottom screwed it out far enough on top so that I was able to grab it with long nose pliers and screw out the broken bit.

[@DerbyCityRC]

I’d love to know. Haven’t tried yet but makes the most sense!

[@wilsgrant]

Any update on how your experiment turned out?

[@es2910]

Why would those tires help?

[@DerbyCityRC]

The hbx tires don’t have as much traction so may allow the car to power slide better instead of easily flipping over while turning at high speeds.

[@Ssquatch_28]

The homemade ad was my favorite!! 😂😂

[@DerbyCityRC]

Haha! Glad you liked it. And a good 1/3 of the viewers STILL skipped through the ad! Just can’t please these people! 🤣 What a shame!!

[@ChrisHarmon1]

Good part is that pin is easily upgraded, it looked like pot metal too. I heard they upgraded the diffs with a new metal, wonder if it would survive? I might try just the spacers first and see if I cant figure out a way to stiffen up the servo saver. Perhaps a 3d printed piece of TPU to take uo some of the give? This could be why it handles poorly too. I also noticed the servo gears are plastic, seems like a good digital servo might help further.

It appears those larger tires prevent the hard slap at landing, or at least some of it. Also looks like it slows reaction in the air, almost looking like you had more control. Might have to try this. I run a Zee 3S 850mah 100C, which fits in the tray just fine, with a XT30 to Deans adapter. It's got enough grunt, to get hose tires spinning. Lol Great commercial BTW.

[@doubledome2076]

I use a Venom Fly 800mah 3s battery in my 16889a pro- has jst plug, so need adapter, ( both on Amazon ) never had a cut off problem, and it almost fits perfect in battery slot. Great video ‼️👍👍🦾🦾

[@987dcm]

Any chance you have a link to the adaptor you used for that battery? I’m a noob and am getting confused on the connector types

[@doubledome2076]

@987dcm the battery ( venom fly ) comes with a JST type connector. The truck takes a T-plug also known as a Dean's connector. On Amazon Prime ( regular Amazon may be different ) = OLRC 3pcs T-plug dean's style Female to JST wireless connector adapter ( C55-3 ). Right now on Amazon Prime they are 23%off which makes them only $9.99. Sometimes prices are different on regular Amazon than Prime- no idea why. Hope this helps- I just see all of these people putting these big ass 3s batteries in that little truck anyway they can!🤣 these little ones almost fit flat in the battery tray, and strap in just fine using the truck's strap it came with. 👍

@@DerbyCityRC Great video. I’m new to RCs. Just bought the HBX and going to pick up those larger wheels. 1. Since this video, have you see any issues with the larger wheels over the stock wheels? 2. Can you make a video showing how to switch out the wheels? 3. Exactly what tools do you need? Thanks!!!

[@philiprccars4340]

Hallo again, I see my MJX has a problem, maybe you can help - the right steering link bangs against the front differential housing when the car turns right, do you know why this is and how to fix it?

[@mark.fasnacht]

Great video, this was the one I was waiting on! Kind of a bummer the bigger tires uncovered some weaknesses, but I wonder if the HBX was as fast if it would have the same weaknesses...

[@DerbyCityRC]

Thanks! I think the hbx would still fair better. Since the hbx has always been run in concrete and able to get faster speeds before hitting the ramp and it tops out at 21 mph on the stock tires, it’s probably 22-23 on the bigger ones. The mjx topped out around 26-27, but actually felt slower on the bigger wheels because the motor is wired more for speed, than power and just couldn’t get it there as easily. The hbx plastics feel more flexible/less brittle to me.

[@arrepuess]

So having a less powerful HBX makes it the 1/16 king?

[@DerbyCityRC]

The hbx has more bottom end torque, not less, so it handles the larger tires far better. Also seems to be more durable. However, the mjx beats it at top speed by a few mph on 2s. I’ll know more and may even change my opinion when I finish my HyperGo vs hbx video

[@MrFabtahiti]

Maybe you could try this accessory, curious to see how it will handle : "Nylon Aluminum Alloy Roll Cage Wheelie Bar" for the MJX, about 20USD, I might order one soon...

[@DerbyCityRC]

Sounds cool! Lol Aluminum isn’t always a good choice for bashing hard though lol. Plastic can flex much better! Lol

[@judybustamante9859]

Hello! I now know what you meant about that diff pin when you replied me. (HBX VS MJX video). I've never broken a diff pin before. As mentioned it's just the bevel gear. Question though, is the MJX motor pinion 3.175 standard? 16889 pro is the only one that uses that. The rest of its clones seems to use the 2.3mm

[@DerbyCityRC]

Ya it broke pretty easy compared to the hbx, which I’ve never broken a pin on. I actually am not sure what size the motor shaft is. I haven’t really looked before.

They now sell an upgraded differential and I’ve also seen upgraded spur gears available. Replacing all that stuff should make a huge difference and make it work much longer with bigger tires. Also maybe adding some wheel spacers like these to give it a bit better stability so it’s not constantly rolling over if you think that would help. amzn.to/3X3WAhY

[@Derpyforderpy]

I'm a 1:47 into the video with a prediction. The bigger tires shred those diffs with the 3S. The stock tires and the 3S on mine. It blew the rear diff out on the first drive. I guess its normal since it comes with a leaflet that talks about it tucked inside the Car's manual x.x. Maybe you'll have better luck than me lol

[@DerbyCityRC]

Haha! Good prediction! I don’t recall a leaflet. lol what did it say?

[@Derpyforderpy]

@@DerbyCityRC it has written down. "I found that the car has no 4WD, only the front or rear wheels have power" it's response is "Our car is designed and produced according to 4WD structure. If this problem happens it may be that the differential on the no power side is damaged and needs to be replaced. For the specific damaged parts, you can check the corresponding exploded view of the disassembled differential." Then it has an exploded view and the diff on the side. So yeah, they know they break easily. Lol

Hi Evan! Nice new place where you live now. I have a general question concerning RC-cars. Did you ever have a burning battery? I asked, because you drive your cars very hard and i suppose you use old batteries as well. I live in a flat and i'm a little bit afraid about the storage of the batteries...

[@DerbyCityRC]

Hello! Good question. I have not had any batteries burn up on me, but I still take precautions because it definitely can and does happen. I keep all of them in a metal tool box. When I charge one or more of them, I also keep them in a lipo bag AND inside the metal box. I have a few batteries that have gotten puffy or lost a cell, and I’ll be disposing of those in the next video.

The gears have definitely come out as a known weak spot. They’ve come out with upgraded versions. Hoping they’re putting them in the production cars now. They tend to last a decent amount of time still, especially if you keep it on 2s. Maybe worth a quick diff swap and keep running it.

Do you know of any upgrade that can be done to it that will improve the control response? For example the not being able to reverse at any time. I'd also love to be able to have more throttle control at the crawling speeds.

[@DerbyCityRC]

Being to reverse at any time I don’t know. Most controllers and brushless cars are designed to hit brakes, and then tap again for reverse. That is standard. For more control at crawling speeds, you would probably want to go to a sensored brushless motor and esc set up or even a brushed motor.

[@keldonator]

@@DerbyCityRC Lol, what?

[@DerbyCityRC]

Lol I meant minus the cups lol. I think the hyper go “upgraded” diffs are just the ones that hbx uses, except they need the HyperGo cups. HBX all the way!!

[@gonwalkabout03]

Any suggestions for upgrading the shocks on these? Thanks!

[@DerbyCityRC]

Unfortunately no, however I’m pretty happy with the shock performance. I may still try thicker fluid in them though.

[@edwardburr7580]

Do you think the tires and wheels off of the hbx 901a would be to much for this truck or my fc 600. The weight difference between these and stock isn't much at all

[@DerbyCityRC]

I think they would still be a bit much for the HyperGo, though they are a bit smaller than the ones I tried here so they may not be too bad. They should work well with the fc600. I believe that has the same motor as the hbx 16889a pro. If it does, you could even go with the ones I tried in this video for that. 👍

[@edwardburr7580]

Might not have been because of the tires. Had stock tires and and jumping it very mildly in comparison to you and 2 of the spider gears in the rear turned to dust. All 4 screws in the rear diff were loose and almost out so probably not tightened from factory. That's what I get for not checking. Still can't pick a favorite though. The hypergo and the fc600 are tough and a lot of fun

[@DerbyCityRC]

Yes they’re great! Lots of complaints on the HyperGo diffs but the bigger tires certainly made it go faster for me lol

👋 hi mjx or remo ?! Better is ?!

[@DerbyCityRC]

I can’t say for sure, I don’t have a remo

[@thedeeptone1986]

New to everything here, I'm looking to get our first car and narrowed it down to the two in this video, on standard tyres which is the better choice for a beginner and a 6year old to learn with the hyper go or hbx?

[@DerbyCityRC]

For durability, I’d go with the hbx. Also, the hbx you can turn the speed down more for training. The mjx you can only do either 70% power or 100% The mjx has a slight advantage on speed, but overall I really like the hbx 16889a pro more. Also, if you did decide to upgrade wheels, these oversized ones actually DO work well on the hbx.

What brand those bigger tires? And what size?

[@DerbyCityRC]

amzn.to/40Q9Re7

[@wuju530]

Hbx a pro still the best. Thanks. I'm choosing right now.

[@DerbyCityRC]

Yes!!! In my opinion it sure is!

[@nib95]

Depends on what you're after. Out of the box and with stock everything, the MJX 16208 is still better imo, as it's quicker both in 2S and obviously 3S, has honeycomb chassis, chunkier CVD's, fan on ESC, more grippy tyres, body mount system without clips, 3S support as standard, plus is just as if not more durable out the box. The HBX Pro takes to bigger tyres better likely as its motor is less powerful, along with the gearing to match. Think of the MJX as a tuned HBX, obviously the more weight/pressure you put on an already tuned vehicle, the more critical strain you put on the parts vs the non tuned vehicle.

[@wuju530]

@@nib95 I chose hbx. This is the first rc for my 7 year old son. Endurance was the most important thing.

[@thedeeptone1986]

@@nib95 I've spent hours looking in to which one between the two is more durable and pretty much everyone has said the hbx. I've seen a fair few videos where the fan on the mjx has broken completely and other parts have failed or been damaged while the hbx is rarely broken at the end of the session. I'm also looking for a car for my son so chose the hbx purely on what I've seen time and time again, the hbx is just stronger.

[@nib95]

@@thedeeptone1986 You're talking about in extreme bash tests, and the HBX does not have a fan for that to break in the first place. You have to compensate for the fact that reviews are nearly always running the MJX in 2S AND 3S, and 3S is considerably faster than 2S (40mph vs 26mph on the MJX, vs 24mph on the HBX). Obviously if you're running something 70% faster, it's going to be more likely to take damage. The fact that it's still comparably durable despite being so much quicker, is a testament to its durability. That's why the MJX has the extra little features such as the thicker dog bones/CVD, honeycomb chassis, clipless body, fan on the motor etc, all to compensate for that added potential power, and with it, more acrobatics, flips, much higher airtime/height on jumps etc. For a young child, I think the HBX is a superb, bullet proof choice. However I would say that in 2S, the MJX and HBX will be comparably durable (the MJX fractionally quicker), the MJX perhaps a tad more convenient due to the clipless body attachment design. But with the MJX you do have default support for 3S should your son ever desire more speed/power, something that can be unreliable with the HBX (diffs often go out with 3S on HBX). Overall, you can't go wrong with either choice, but the MJX does offer more bang for buck imo.

if only running hjx hyper with 2s battery. Is the big wheel stable? i don't need to run fast with 3s . battery

[@ronsone8373]

Can someone help me? I have a hyper go... If i lift the car the wheels spin... If i put it on the ground it wont drive (very slow) its like some gear is slipping what do i need to replace?

[@DerbyCityRC]

Could be the set screw backed out of the pinion gear if the motor. Also check all axles to make sure they spin with each wheel, this could help you find a broken one that’s hard to spot otherwise. There would have to be a front one and a rear one broken at the same time to cause no movement.

[@ronsone8373]

Thanks dude! took it apart look like my rear differential exploded it came out in a million pieces a screw broke inside the gear and wrecked everything inside :)
