The FASTEST 'Bad' RC Car I think I've ever reviewed!

This is the JJRC Q130 Brushless RC Car. It's really fast, but that's about it! I think it's the Fastest Bad RC Car I've ever reviewed! I made an error on the price... so the MJX Hyper Go linked below is a way better deal.

Hi kevin

[@Gracefam-ph6gl]

Yo Kevin I love Ur vidios

[@rustytoolman4912]

Thank you for the review. I ended up buying two of these. I can see where the oil filled shocks would be better. I have no trouble with the steering at all. I clocked mine at 33 mph on the high setting. I rarely use the high setting as it's to fast for the little wheel base. Mid and low speed work great for me. So much so I'm planning on getting a Red and Blue brushed versions so I can setup a little race track.

[@mikebird8290]

Thanks for posting Phil. Definitely agree about paying a little more for a LOT better RC. 🇬🇧✌🏼

[@TomleyRC]

Yes, and I got the price a little wrong. The Brushless one is almost £100. So the MJX is a much better deal

[@MagnifiedGiant]

I took the spare tires off of mine then made a foam "bumper" to go across the back where the tires were. With the weight off the back it handles much better when you have more weight distribution on the front end. Then I cut a bit over a quarter inch out of the front and back wheel wells to get more travel for the shocks. Added oil filled shocks. Installed wider tires from a broken 1/16 MJX truck. It is a fun little truck to rip and bash.

[@danialshahla8251]

How fast does it go without the spare tires?

[@MagnifiedGiant]

@@danialshahla8251 I never did a speed test on it but I would imagine it might gain a mile or two per hour faster. The main thing I liked about removing the spare tires is that it doesn't wheelie so easily and it handles better because you get more weight on the front tires. Plus I have seen the spare tires can end up breaking off fairly easily if you get too aggressive with it anyways. Of all my smaller RC vehicles this is the one I run the most!

[@danialshahla8251]

@MagnifiedGiant I was wondering it because I was gonna buy and I wanted to see how fast it was without the extra weight. I was thinking of going to a 3s 40c lipo and remove every piece of weight I can. Thank you

[@MagnifiedGiant]

@@danialshahla8251 I use a 2s battery in mine and I find it is plenty fast enough in High speed mode. I probably use med more than high. Depends on how I am driving it I guess. It will be fast in 3s! Have fun if you get one! I am charging a battery right now!!

[@ClassicRedEye]

Maybe you should take that car and slowly upgrade it after each track run. First time some laps stock, then add oil shocks and a lap, then a better servo and lap, then maybe a new body with more clearance.

[@TomleyRC]

Yeah, good idea for next time maybe

[@blitzrc4713]

I trust you to do good reviews but still haven't seen anyone be overly honest about rlaaaaaaaaarlooooo in my opinion.

[@TomleyRC]

I think I’ve said a few times… their ‘pre sale’ prices are worth it. But once they go to normal RRP then it’s little too expensive. As for quality they are decent… no worse than some of the bigger manufacturers

[@FeralRC]

I'll say it. They're incrementally better than the WLToys garbage. We actually like ours a lot but I'll agree that the regular price is unacceptable.

[@jah-jah87]

@K & Em RC you do realize its marginally better than wltoys with a non-justifiable price. Not sure how wltoys could be garbage and this be "great".

[@FeralRC]

@@jah-jah87 I don't see where I said they are "great". Only where I said we like ours a lot which is subjective and doesn't reflect on actual quality or durability.

[@jah-jah87]

@K & Em RC You didn't. It's therefore implied by suggesting one its better (even if incrementallly, 😆 lol) over the "garbage." Respectfully, when comparing apples to apples, it's definitely better in "finish," but I wouldn't go as far as to call it garbage. Keep in mind when the wltoys came out it could be purchased for WAY CHEAPER 👌 than nowadays, which bring the question of quality vs price and at $80usd (back then and $150 if You purchase 2) I can't conceive paying $200 for essentially the same car, maybe if it had better plastics perhaps but a carbon chassis and brushless setup cant justify the price. I'm sure the RLAARLO is good as you are enjoying yours, is it twice as good tho? You be the judge of that.

[@TheMCailet]

I have this same car (Q130) and with oil shocks, adjustable steering bar and new tires with foam inside it becomes a very fun toy!

[@oldskoolhunting]

Do you know what wltoy shocks will fit?

[@Pablo668]

I would be interested to see it go with oil shocks. It's not like oil shocks would be that expensive to put on that thing.

[@Solrak8O]

I have one. Oil-filled shocks are a must. Transforms the truck for an extra $15-20. Make sure you go thru and check/tighten all the screws, use Loctite where necessary. The steering arm screws back out and go walkies. Apart from that and damaging 2 wheels after a full-speed crash into a curb (Handy the Q130 comes with spare 2 wheels) it has been a fun and pretty quick truck running 2s. Might try 3s on the weekend, which will be super rapid!

[@qrisemrc]

Making a trophy truck RC car so small! It even has 6 tires!! I didn't think it would be fast, but it's faster than I thought. This is a great video.😁😁👍👍

[@michaeldorich4485]

It's an interesting little truck. They spent a lot of time on the looks of the truck and the durability of the body and much less time on the handling performance. That is a very scenic track location.

[@BangForYourBuckRc]

It’s funny , when SCY started making this platform of rc’s a little over a year ago, they were brushed only, and sold with oil filled shocks as an option. A few months later they stopped that option thing and went with the boinger shocks on everything with no option. I think these are great little bashers brushed or brushless trim. I had no issues with steering and have definitely had much worse. Steering felt fine , but I don’t run a lot of high end stuff to pamper my senses!😂 I think some foam in the tires should be added as well. Other than that, I can live with the sort of “ cartooney” look of it. I think they should follow MJX and Rlaarlo, and listen to the consumer! I’m getting 46mph with 3s with mine and the motor/esc is medium warm at best. Even though we differ on a few things it was a great review!👊🏼💯🙌🏼😃🍻

[@Solrak8O]

My ESC gets hot and that's running 2s high setting. How do I know? Well I bloody burn my finger everytime when fiddling around under the body to press the on/off switch which is right next to the hot ESC heatsink!

[@BangForYourBuckRc]

@@Solrak8O maybe running it in the grass? That will definitely increase temperature. When I ran mine on 3s I was on pavement and sand only.

[@Solrak8O]

​@BangForYourBuckRc It's the middle of summer here in Oz so running with 30 degree c + would definitely contribute to the high temps!

[@BangForYourBuckRc]

I looked at this then got a 16102pro brushless instead as it was under £50 on sale with a 2s lipo just need to switch the shocks as it came today will be nice to see how it does against my brushed tracker. Great video I think all the pro's should have oil shocks but for what I paid I can sort it.

I have both mjx hyper go and this orange cars chassis..both are awesome cars imo..hypergo is a lot slower on 2s stock battery..but hypergo on 3s is over 40 mph and motor and esc stay cool...

[@juntti2948]

Is this allright if i buy oil shocks for this?

[@Solrak8O]

Yes the handling and control over bumps is much improved with oil shocks. Other than that I wouldn't spend anymore money on it. There are better RC cars for not much more money

[@benfred8]

I bought this last night on Banggood. I paid 121.37$A. Bad? I mean you got me nervous but replacing the shocks and maybe trimming the body or finding an alternative option. The only other test I am interested in is your skate park endurance test. Also the comparison seems skewed, since your comparing a short course with a rally option. The worst thing is the Philips head screws. Oh and did you diagnose the terrible steering? Love your work!

[@TomleyRC]

It can be made better, I’ve already done it to a the ‘Jeep’ ish body one. But as an RTR there is better out there. I was more comparing it to MJX’s MT (shown in the picture). The Rally car was all I had to hand
