[@drewcas76]

I love this format! You’re onto something here. Even if not head-to-head, I like your detailing specific attributes of the cars: -does it go in a straight line? -how does it corner? Is it stable, does it do the right amount of sliding, or does it just topple-over? -how controllable is it? -durability -most importantly, is it fun? Would love to see reviews call-out these specific dimensions you note in the video. (Notably, I picked up a 16889A-Pro and in a straight line, I find it tends to spontaneously start veering)

[@Bongface.]

Two of my favorite cheap brands. MJX has the better quality and better engineering in opinion. HBX has a special place for me though. The 18th scale truggy got my kids and myself out having fun together. Thanks Phil 🎉

Hard to figure out. I own both. Both are very good small RC trucks. Nice video phil 💪🏼

[@user-qd1ip9nu7b]

Hi Phil, great video and lots of fun to watch. I think the mjx 16208 1/16 is one of the best mini bashers you can get. It's a little beast on 3s and fun on 2s. Funny enough I've got my self a plastic skateboard ramp. And it was so much fun. My mate drove it, now he wants one. 😊

[@BeardRubEnjoyer]

That cleaning montage was properly mind-bending.

[@TomleyRC]

lol

[@stualoo]

I agree with this, the MJX is a quality bit of kit for the price. I have and MJX and the brushless FTX tracer, fitted with some oil shocks, so basically the same as the HBX. Both are great but the MJX wins for me. I do need to look at the steering on the MJX though as the steering/turning circle didn't feel too great when under power!😂

I really like that you added comments on the handling.. there's so many videos on youtube about those 2 cars where they get bashed but very few of them mention anything about how they drive. I got ravage after owning couple 144001's and I was kinda shocked how difficult it is to drive. Especially on ice full throttle is not possible without spinning, og A979-B was much like that.

[@gustaf8510]

More hyper go!!!:)

[@user-xk1hn4ye6b]

Fast !

[@TheAegisClaw]

The MJX has a terrible throttle delay that makes it VERY hard to drive when combined with all the power it has. Some of it is the radio, some of it is the esc. No reviewers ever seem to mention it, but its all over the forums.

[@ZacStack]

I've found that only happens with the stock battey

[@TheAegisClaw]

@@ZacStack really? I've not tried any 3rd party options because I don't have anything that will fit. What do you use?

[@lyricofwise6894]

Is it a throttle delay or a dead zone in the trigger, for me its a dead zone because throttle delay would be very soft pressing the trigger and eventually it will go, dead zone nothing will happen

[@ZacStack]

@@TheAegisClaw I use zeee 2s 1500 mah 80c there great and fit well in the mjx

@@lyricofwise6894 no, it's not, you can adjust that out with the throttle trim, it's nothing that simple.

Great review thanks Phil. Im super happy with the MJX i bought based on your earlier review, my Aliexpress vendor supplied with it with 3S and Dumbo transmitter/gyro receiver upgrade which made it that bit extra special. Glad to see it come out tops!

[@tilkka_]

I'm curious - have you ever had T:s eRevo 1/16th cars? Would be cool to compare those cheaper to those. For they were quite valued few years ago for kiddos. (We have 2 of them) and wouldn't mind upgradeing them with better motor etc. They've lasted a huge beating with kids and been worth it as an intro for the hobby.

Mrs ran our MJX 16209 into our MJX 14210, both on 3S at a tested 70kmh, and nothing happened to either (Except ripping out the body pins).

I've become an MJX convert just for the fun. They're amazingly tough.

[@tomcraven150]

Good vid as normal, but not quite convinced on this one Phil. Think only grouping tonnes of stuff into a single score of 'fun' was a bit harsh really, as there are a lot of way the HBX is better day to day and on different surfaces etc.

[@The94gtmoose]

I love your cheap r/c shootouts, but maybe every once in a while can we get a premium R/C shootout. Where value isn’t the objective. Also I love the new events. Long jump is going to be bonkers with some high speed bashers.

So you mean like the last shoot out with a Traxxas, Arrma & HPI? Or the one before that with a Kyosho, Traxxas, HPI, FTX & Associated lol. Or do you mean bigger faster stuff? I have some planned ;)

I'd have to have a proper look, but maybe a little thicker oil and softer springs

[@Cerberus256]

@@TomleyRC Interesting. I found I had to put half preload on the rear to stop it bottoming out under acceleration as it was very soft. Perhaps thicker oil will do it...

[@Pablo668]

Great work Phil. I'll be honest, I would have hit the fence posts with at least one of the trucks. Unintentionally.

[@karlc9773]

Is there much difference between brushed and brushless motors today ?

[@boduke9428]

Yes

[@karlc9773]

@@boduke9428 Are you saying "yes" to the old brushed motors of old or are you saying "yes" to todays much better made brushed of today, made with better materials, your answer just seems to be fallowing the heard !!

[@boduke9428]

@@karlc9773 I'm saying yes to both. Unless you're asking about motors for a crawler. For this or any speedy type or basher then brushless is far superior. Longer battery life and much better performance. The MJX here for example can handle 3s batteries. With that it would gain 1/3 more power and speed. Don't let the top speeds here between the Grom and other 2 confuse. The difference in acceleration is much pronounced. Check out videos of the Arrma Gorgon on here. It's a great example. I just swapped mine to brushless recently and it's night and day difference using the same 2s batteries. Not to mention it's insane on 3s now. The reason it's so popular is because they are that much better.

[@michaeldorich4485]

This was a very good idea. I think it takes you back to the roots of your channel. I enjoyed the comparisons. Like you, I was surprised when the HBX broke. When I saw you chose the Grom as your spare, a thought crossed my mind. I wonder why he didn't choose the car he once called "the Worlds Best RC Car" a few years ago. But, it's older and it's 1/18th. Keep up the good work.

[@RAVAGERrules]

This takes me back to when I had first bought my HPI mini recon. Was a neat little truck but man that thing was a handful to drive, was real good at doughnuts 😂 but fast forward to today and I have the little MJX buggy. My how things have changed

Can HBX be slowed down more than MJX? Remote slowdown is dial vs a switch. My son is really young and i have no idea how slow can you make these. Every review talks about how fast are they, but i would really love to know how slow cam they be :)

[@k88kee]

Hi, I have a 3 Yr old and have the same dilemma. Looking at the MJX the switch is down to 70% only, else full power. Means its too fast for any indoor action. HBX however is a dial that, talking to guys on the HBX Facebook forum, gets the car down to 7 or 8 mph, ie 33%. This was enough to swing it for me, plus Beyond RC really rate the better quality of HBX. However I am a bit sceptical now having seen this vid, never seen the HBX lose a wheel before! 😮

@@k88kee youtube is cenzoring any attempt of me pointing you to our reddit discussion about this exact topic :)

Which one can be slower (via transmitter)? HBX 16889A Pro or MJX 16208 16209 HYPER GO 16208

The above is the name of the thread on there. Also i have ordered 16889a Pro few days ago. My son is even younger, so perhaps its more for me than him :) Maybe i will end up purchasing something more toy-like for him. But i have 2nd son on the way, so im sure it will get plenty of usage sooner or later.

[@k88kee]

@RomanScepka struggling to find the reddit thread, but found another similar. Anyhow my plan is to be cheap and not change the transmitter (yet, unless the lag is terrible, or maybe that's the esc) but I'll tape something behind the trigger to stop it being pulled back all the way! Haha

I keep hearing about electronics issues with Spektrum lately. Maybe the cause of the signal loss? They have been pretty solid for a long time though. We've run HBX 16th scale RCs for a couple years now and have found they wear out a little too quickly. 2 of them eat gears and the mesh just cant be fixed. Seems like that nice flexible chassis and components just don't hold their shape well enough over time to maintain tolerances. I ended up buying new ones and stripping the old ones for spares. Pretty let down by them.

Dude, i got the hbx since ages now, and it can do back flips way easier than that, it also run 3s without issues......

[@mnakash77]

I was just writing in the other channel a comment how those two the MJX and hbx pro are the best little cars. fast, durable, fun for little money. oil shocks, metal gear, brushless and fast some even run 3S. Those cars are great value for Money and win the 1/16 -1/14 and 1/18 scale. for 1/10 scale the major brands are better of course but cost 3-4 times. it is amazing how the 1/16 scale of MJX can run speed and flips like the big brand cars for only a fraction of the cost so if you dont mind the size or have a low budget you can still get a lot of the experience other than size and durability.

[@noko2794]

Hello . I looked for a video comparing 16889 and 16103, but I couldn't find it. At less than $100, the 1/16 model, 16889 and 16103 look good, but it's my first time, so I can't tell which one is good or bad. What would be good to compare with the specs alone? Thank you. 감사합니다.

[@k88kee]

Would be interested in battery life for these two. Both have small batteries but reviews on 16208 claim 7 mins which is useless vs 15 to 20 mins on HBX. Reviews also talk about ESC causing throttle lag. Finally ive got young kids (7 and 3) so HBX can turn down to about a thrid of the power rather than 70% on the 16208 made the HBX my choice. Sad to see it lose so comprehensively here 😢😂

[@machinedred]

OMG THERES NO BACKSTOP FOR THE DIFF PINION BEARING ! it Must be shimmed against the chassis I'll get pics up if I can

[@machinedred]

Ok here's the fix guys before you drive it , remove the prop shaft front pinion needs a 0.3 shim and rear pinion needs 0.6 shim at the back of the bearing closest to the battery tray . Then remove the rear diff pinion and thread lock the screw that holds it on the prop shaft if you don't do this wave goodbye to your diffs . Also whilst the diff is out separate the halves and get a 0.3 shim in there so you don't eat the spider gears up . Have fun great truck and unbreakable over 10c temperature

[@dosetti]

HBX came with front lights which are essential for me at least. Knowing when the car is pointed back to me. If i want to upgrade HBX with the battery, which way is to do it? Should i get more C-rating, more mAh, both or maybe more voltage too? Original is very small capacity so more mAh is a must but what about the other values? I do not want to test 3s, some ones can handle it but not going to risk it.

[@skree_fpv436]

The MJX has lights at the front too. A lightbar to be specific and its brighter than the HBX imo. As for your battery question, more mah will give longer runtime. A fully charged 2S is 8.4 volts so if you want more voltage you need to go to 3S. C rating signifies the maximum continuous output that the battery can maintain. The C value multiplied by the capacity is the maximum continuous current output which is measured in Amps. For example 1000mah x 30c = 30,000 amps. A lot manufacturers exaggerate the C rating they slap on the side of their lipos though, but generally the higher C the better.

Update! Checking Aliexpress this morning and the 16208 (with a 3s battery!) is going for 61 gbp, including everything! 5 day delivery too. So by Phil's scoring the 16208 should have an extra 21 points for price and wins 69.6 to 45.9!! No brainer, just ordered 😂

[@TomleyRC]

haha... winner!

[@k88kee]

@TomleyRC update, sadly not a winner... the aliexpress seller sent me some crappy 10 quid rc instead, having to refund and look elsewhere now. As I've been waiting it's become clear also the the esc, transmitter and diffs on the 16208 are all pretty poor and need replacement. That's like 50 quids worth of gear! As I'm only starting out and don't want to spend spend spend, I'm going back to the HBX16889A Pro since that car is pretty much sorted out of the box. Sure it might quite be as capable in extreme situations, but it's more than enough for a beginner like me.

Being s lefty what remote or car set can I get for my 3 year old he's a lefty and I thought I've seen universal remotes somewhere on Ali or banggood. But not sure where or what's best for left or both please lmk for my little son

Did you just forget about quality and spares? Perhaps assert quality is not easy, but getting spares in "certain time" and for the right price might help you in those dimensions.

[@TomleyRC]

Nope.. Quality & Spares are about the same for both... so the scores would have been the same
