TESTED! MJX Hyper Go H14BM 1/14 RC Truck Unboxing | Test | Review

[@HelloIamClay]

Silly as this might sound, I actually appreciated the "we don't need screws here" mini-rant up front. I'm 44 y/o and haven't had an RC toy since the 80s. So thanks for the heads up that I'm not an idiot for tossing it. Lol.

[@RoadsideRC]

Ha! Glad you appreciated that part!

[@areadierc2803]

Apparently esc can be programmed by pressing the red button 5 times

[@philiprccars4340]

The programming only works on the OE radio, once you ditch the OE TX/RX the 5 button press thing goes away, but it does not look like you still need it after you replaced it with the Dumbo X6FG radio combo.

[@Mr_spoon1]

If you press the Esc ON button 5 Times IT goes super speed

[@PlanetEarthTeam]

Thanks for the great video! All the best

[@RoadsideRC]

Thanks, you too!

[@user-wp9mz]

I broke a pillar on mine no big deal but I took it to the Hobby Shop they never heard of the mjx hyper go I said turn it on he turned it on hit the throttle and said holy s*** I said yeah mjx is pretty awesome I cannot believe he doesn't have any in the hobby shop when he said it's online orders only even for parts I was like that sucks hobby shop should have this vehicle it is what it is I guess but I did find some parts on Amazon absolutely love this little truck I've been bashing the crap out of it for over a year I'm definitely going to pick up the 14 scale next like I said the 16th scale absolute Beast

[@RoadsideRC]

Yes - I have been really happy with it as well!

[@adickurig]

Just got mine tonight, drove it around in 4-6in tall grass no problem. Cant wait to mow and see how she flies.

[@RoadsideRC]

Nice! Have fun!

[@adickurig]

@@RoadsideRC So many smiles last night!

[@stefan-norge]

Nice review. Did you release the full power by pressing 5 times the esc button?

[@RoadsideRC]

I did not!!!

[@stefan-norge]

@@RoadsideRC It is a huge difference. You will be surprised… 😉

[@steelfury90]

​@@stefan-norgeok, but if I won't after switch full power what have I need do this (sorry for my English), thanks

[@stefan-norge]

@@steelfury90 There are different models on the market. Only the H14BM has this full power release thing. A „normal“ 14210 mjx does not have it. It is just on full power. To get the 75km/h: 3s lipo and set the receiver on 100%. For tge H14 do this 5 times thing as well….

[@NeighberhoodRC]

I never can catch this shit on sale so I just brought it 211$ including taxs on Amazon , I have more fun with smaller rc cards than this 1/8 arrma notorious v5 6s blx

[@rickrogers2649]

Turbo Lag ??? 😁 Great review Troy. Many thanks.

[@thomasblair7996]

Man that thing was moving,looks to.have good parts availability, would make a great machine i believe also,great video!!!

[@RoadsideRC]

Thanks Thomas!

[@gonzodetroitify]

Looks like a mini sledge🤩 and power per lbs to match😁😁

[@RoadsideRC]

Yes! Especially since it will also take 3S!

[@Maga4Lyfe]

Thanks for the detailed review. After the unboxing that was enough for me. I got a Black Friday deal on it. Hey just curious did you happen to push the button 5 times to unlock the speed? Not sure where it is but did see it on the product page. Goes from 30mph to 45 plus apparently. Thanks again

[@RoadsideRC]

Yes! I didn't do it in this video, but you 100% want to do the button trick.

[@Maga4Lyfe]

@ awesome. Thanks

[@Dono.818]

Can you show how to adjust the front wheels? I have a hyper go rc car but one tire is crooked and I can’t seem to fix it

[@RoadsideRC]

Please be careful. The front tires should have toe-out. This is for stability. You can see diagrams for toe, camber, and caster online.

[@moonshineRC]

I'm just getting back into RC after 15 years, then I was a nitro guy and now leaning towards electric,I want a RC around $100 something I can upgrade later,have you seen or reviewed the ENOZE 9204E if you have any comments on it or your opinion on a good 1:10 scale it be much appreciated ,thank you,I'm gonna go back and watch more of you reviews

[@RoadsideRC]

Hi there! If you are looking under $100, the choices are very few. Here are my recommendations: kzbin.info/www/bejne/sGLFd4Wjo5qLfKs

[@moonshineRC]

thanks for the info@@RoadsideRC

[@christianrambissoon1141]

Unlock FAST mode, press esc button 5 times. It comes in slow mode from factory. Check the instructions.

[@polizei16]

Does that eliminate the throttle ramping?!?! I feel real dumb if that's the case lol

[@christianrambissoon1141]

@@polizei16 i'm not sure actually 🤔

[@NayburhoodSnipa]

​@polizei16 The only thing that alleviates the throttle curve issue is swapping the esc for something better.

[@jured7383]

nice review, thanks. As we communicate in other video, I'm swapping the radio with FS-GT3, here only for those buying from Aliexpress, version MJX 14210. They come ''ulocked'' full speed ESC settings - got no ''slow mode'' with 5x on-off button activation.

[@RoadsideRC]

Interesting! Thanks for the tip!

[@jured7383]

Hi, if you'd be so kind, I got one more question to help me. I am buying 2x FS GR3C & GR3e to tame my MJX-es down :). Original receiver on MJX got 5 slots, 3 channels and 2x VCC for two fans ( on ESC and Motor ) . I am asking if I can conect both fans on one VCC slot on GR3e ? Thanks in advance.

[@RoadsideRC]

@@jured7383 Typically yes, you can power two fans from one slot.

[@shmelie]

did you know if you pop that cap on the battery youl see its not really lipo but stil amazing car waiting on mine to arrive in post in next two days

[@RoadsideRC]

Just because the battery cells are round - doesn't mean it isn't a lithium battery, FYI.

[@billyb5057]

nice looking truck cool review mate wow its pretty rapid on test *💯fully watched always👀Au👍A like for you 🤓*

[@RoadsideRC]

Thank you 👍

[@CraigAHaskell]

Is your esc concern before or after taking or out of safe mode?

[@RoadsideRC]

Before - taking it out of that mode should really help.

[@brianorlando6423]

Press the red button 5 times, and it will super boost it !

[@blaircooper9956]

Does this have adjustable speed to turn down so a kid can play with it on the transmitter?

[@RoadsideRC]

It has a speed limiting switch on the controller. I find kids usually find those buttons rather quickly though.

[@davehoffman515]

Give the HBX 2997a a shot too. Lots of updates from the 2996a

[@RoadsideRC]

Thanks!

[@aquablaster86]

Buying my first rc car, besides the $20 Walmart special cars lol anyways im trying to decide between this and the Arrma vortek. Any opinions on which one i should go with for my first and probably only rc car?

[@RoadsideRC]

I would suggest starting with the Arrma Vorteks. It has a lot more potential with upgrades, etc - plus it is noticeably larger in size, which makes it easier to drive in a wider variety of locations. Just a heads-up - there are multiple variants of the Vorteks. BOOST - this is the cheaper model. Only 2WD - but can be upgraded to 4WD. It is also brushed - so you will want to upgrade the motor and ESC at some point. But a VERY solid platform for a reasonable price: alnk.to/8EJg3L4 BLX - This is the "full" version of the Vorteks. Brushless, 4WD, etc - straight out of the box. In the long-run, going straight to the BLX is cheaper than buying the Boost version and upgrading it. But - it is more expensive, of course. Link to it: alnk.to/58q6rst Any other questions?

[@aquablaster86]

Wow, thank you for the detailed response! The Arrma Vortek blx it is then. No more questions for now, but may change once I get it 😂 thanks for your help!

[@RoadsideRC]

@@aquablaster86 I hope you enjoy it!

[@aknmtbr]

Any idea where I can get the $25 off coupon? I don’t see it on Amazon anymore.

[@RoadsideRC]

It comes and goes. Sometimes it is there, sometimes not.

[@CHICO-bw8hs]

As a begginer the batteries scare me for that power since i don't know how to balance charge them or spend money on some balance charging device

[@RoadsideRC]

Good news, it is much easier than people make it out to be. Here is where I looked at a charger recently, and show how I use it: kzbin.info/www/bejne/hKTSi4GLoJmLrJo

[@philiprccars4340]

5:10 - Is this your first MJX Hyper Go you are reviewing?

[@RoadsideRC]

Of course. That is how I made the video.

[@danielpenwell5579]

Where can i buy this at? With the whole kit like you have

[@RoadsideRC]

I got it here: amzn.to/48YKs6p

[@keithhoffman1440]

Try the paddle tires. It handles way better. No rollovers. And ESC button five times!!

[@RoadsideRC]

Thank you!

[@tawajnmitchell5852]

Does it handle better on the concrete?

[@IowaBudgetRCBashers]

I’ve heard nothing but good about these

[@Zane_kassnoff]

Hi I just got one and when I put the battery on the charger the light is red

[@RoadsideRC]

What does the manual say about the lights on the charger? I think it just means it is charging.

[@kokosnood]

How is the servo on this truck?

[@RoadsideRC]

Seems to do pretty well.

[@steelfury90]

Hay , this car is soo crazy, I buy for may son 5 years old, I think is soo fan (when I buy I not see what this car for 14+) thank for video 👍

[@RoadsideRC]

Yes it is!!! I hope your son enjoys it.

[@kylejones4321]

I have one the newer version and the esc is updated also updated motor. I found it on Amazon with coupon. $75 shipped Such a fast little bugger and so durable. I have played with RC cars for years and the quality to price sounds like you are getting scammed because it's so cheap and when you drive it you wonder how they could build and sell for so cheap. 5* for sure

[@RoadsideRC]

Awesome! Thanks for the feedback!

[@RonielIrvingtie231YT]

What is the full speed of that

[@RoadsideRC]

I never did test the full speed. It is pretty fast!

[@uzb_100]

How to get that promocode (25$) for Amazon?

[@RoadsideRC]

It randomly shows up on Amazon. Just keep watching.

[@t3floz]

Really good video as always! Was thinking of buying this but many people reported the delay as you did and put me really off. Also heard it handles bad and has wobbly tires? Also in my country you have to wait like 3 weeks for parts. So i got the q903 for less than a 3rd of the price of the mjx. Which one do you prefer of these 2? Also will you do a skatepark video like you did with the q903? :)

[@RoadsideRC]

Great point! I really do like how the Q903 drives. This is more powerful than it - but the Hosim does have a better throttle control.

[@keithhoffman1440]

I thought the same thing. I almost returned it. But I tried the paddle tires and it was amazing. Even on pavement it never wobbles or flips. I use the red lettered tires as a stand for the truck.

[@corsomike1]

It doesn't have wobbly tires or rims though as nails handles great for its size ( remember it is 14 th scale ) I have one and in my opinion it kicks ass

[@t3floz]

Have any of you guys tried the e revo 1/16? I have it and wonder if the mjx is more durable and what’s the difference in driving? I hate to work in my e revo and feels like I have to do a lot of upgrades to make it durable and I’ve broken the from bulkheads on both

[@redmaxxnews2414]

You didn’t know about the 5 button clicks at the time of this video???

[@RoadsideRC]

Nope! Should have read the manual closer.

[@TuskeyeAndSon]

Click the esc 5 times

[@jbusa6630]

The mini e-revo is $299 and you'll still need lipo's.

[@RoadsideRC]

Good point!

[@mnakash77]

I like your review but as far as MJX goes the 1/16 is even better than this, more durable and with bigger wheels it's even more crazy than this. This however disappointed in the standing backflip department. It was showed as a standing backflip monster and it isn't so. Put the upgraded diffs and gear on the 1/16 with those wheels and it is a standing backflip monster. As you can tell I like the 1/16 better.

[@RoadsideRC]

I believe this truck will take a 3S lipo...and my guess is that will unlock all of the craziness.

[@stefan-norge]

@@RoadsideRC 3S and unlock the full power by pressing 5 times the esc button and you will have a real monster…

[@mnakash77]

of course, I run them both with 3S. Still not doing standing backflips as advertised. It's not a bad truck as much as the 1/16 is just great, The 1/14 is great too only the build up for the standing backflips was over exaggerated. Still great power for a small package. @@RoadsideRC

[@LTRenji]

great car but open the batterys there not lipos there nimh

[@RoadsideRC]

I don't think so. I charged them on my hobby grade charger...

[@harleycarter3982]

Yea lol he watched another guy that says that cause he has never seen lipos in round form. Don't spread info you don't know

[@BangForYourBuckRc]

Those are lithium ions in the case not nimh batteries. *Troy, don’t forget to check out and unlock the car in hyper speed by depressing the button on the esc 5x.​@@harleycarter3982
