I Made The Ultimate Upgraded MJX Hyper Go 10208 & It's INSANE!
Ойын-сауық
Today we are going to upgrade everything on the MJX Hyper Go 10208 RC Basher Monster Truck! Willi it make it a better 1/10 scale basher than the Arrma Granite or Big Rock? Will it be a better deal than The Traxxas Stampede? Let's find out!

Yeah I actually started putting more clips of me landing properly in my videos because so many people complained about my driving :-). You're right though I do crash intentionally a lot because most modern vehicles can handle a proper landing from pretty much any height. It's what happens when they don't land properly that matters!
Looks like a blast, love when you can see the dust/dirt rip up through the grass like that at the beginning of the rip session lol looks so epic

I'd love to see some longer Arms added to this truck to make the stance wider and provide some better anti-tip performance. But time will tell what would work here for that. I love the 2997A arms on my 1/16 Hyper go

The Badlands do make it about an inch wider overall which does help but it is pretty heavily counteracted by the increased suspension down travel.

Good upgrades. A guy could definitely do better than those Techno shocks but they did work & you had them on hand . The ESC really brought that rig to life. 42mph is plenty for a basher rig. That servo would make a nice addition to almost any 1/10 scale running a stock servo from the big 2.

I'd recommend giving it a try. Even without the upgrades it's a pretty fun truck.
Those wheels are awesome, the way you can change the hex. And I've changed all my cars over 1/14 scale to EC5 and it makes a difference! I always tape my battery leads when I cut each one. I'd also love to win a servo😁
@DoRC
Күн бұрын
I'm surprised that EC5 would make much of a difference at that scale is those ESCs don't usually flow a lot of current but bigger is better.
This lil' truck is becoming more and more appealing to me after seeing your videos. And, at approx $250, it's a must have; I think I'm gonna replace my brushless E-Maxx with one of these and maybe an Omni Terminator. Keep the videos coming.

Those bent shocks will probably be very common with the amount of flex that chassis has. All that plastic will bend a lot more than metal shocks. Might actually be a good candidate for some 3s Arrma plastic shocks.
@DoRC
Күн бұрын
I might agree except I popped the caps on the same shocks in their original vehicle which has an aluminum chassis. I think it's just a weakness of the shocks.
I have beat the ever living snot out of my tekno SCT for years, like 60mph launches off ramps on asphalt and i have never broken a shock so it's impressive that you managed to! They do sell metal caps for them but i never saw a reason to do so. Perhaps it got twisted sideways by the a-arm during a bad hit and the upper rod end didn't have enough angular travel so the cap got wrenched off

Eh maybe but I feel like you could just keep changing parts out until you had a completely different truck. To be honest this thing's fun right out of the box. None of these upgrades really needed to be done. That being said the proline tires do make it about an inch wider overall from the stock tires so that's similar to increasing the arm width.
Great video. I always learn something from your videos. I’m going to try one of those servo horns you mentioned on a hammer rey to see if it improves handling…🤞
@DoRC
8 сағат бұрын
It may or may not. In this case the stock servo horn was physically loose which meant that it would never center the same way twice but if the servo horn you already have doesn't have any problems upgrading it probably isn't going to make much difference. That being said it's a cheap thing to try so go for it :-)
