great driving on your part, but i do agree this car is a bit confusing...the power level is pretty wild for such a short wheel base...so OK have some throttle control but then they put this awful ESC that has this weird built in delay that makes it even harder to manage...it's almost like a turbo lag. cool car for $150 but will make me second guess buying any of these random brands regardless of reviews. literally noone in the 4 or 5 reviews I watched mentioned the throttle lag, i wouldn't have bought it otherwise

@philiprccars4340

The stupid throttle lag is because of the crappy radio they still did not update since the 1/16 scale range came out without the GPS radio. They then scrambled to get a radio matched with the cars without the (redundant) GPS system of the first 1/16 Hyper Go's which is still a complete flop. My MJX 14210 V.2 that came from the seller with the Dumbo TX/RX combo does not have the annoying delay neither in forward or reverse. All my 1/16 scale MJX Hyper Go's with the OE radio has the annoying lag but only in reverse because the rear totally redundant and annoying adjustment knob needs to be fine tuned to stop lagging and braking going forward, but no matter how hard you try to fine tune it, the lag in reverse does not go away. So my MJX 16209 will also be getting the Dumbo X6FG receiver soon.

ESC is awesome 🎉🎉🎉 hit it 5 times it goes into meth head mode 🤯

It seems tougher than most name brands! Definitely a fun bash session! 👍👍🤣👽🛸😎

press the start button 5 times and it wakes it up. Its in the manual. unless you have already done it.

That's the brand to skate park bash with . No big loss . Just take it easy

I have the MJX 14209 and it is a screamer! I've only run it on 3S once because it is just way out of my skill set to control. Even on 2S it's usually run on 70% mode. It's more fun to rip them around than it is to just destroy them. I ordered the MJX 16208 based on how rock solid these trucks are, and man they are affordable! All in with free shipping during the Aliexpress sale, the 16208 was just $ 81.45

Yeah people complain that a truck or a car is not fast enough and then when they get a car that's fast then they complain it's too fast. You never make everybody happy. That's why the MJX company should just keep them fast.

The latest truck is performing very well. It's from their Jetwood line👍💯

I hate to say it because it’s so obvious, but why put it on speed run settings and then complain that it has to much power to make it useable?😅😂 For its size and in the skate park you should have used the 2S pack. It would have been a lot more controllable. We’re you using the warp setting on 3S? That’s just for speed runs. I don’t think it’s the turd that a lot of people are calling it. It’s a good entry level basher and put on some street wheels and you can get 50-55mph it becomes a good engineer speed machine. It’s also not that brittle plastic that tend to smash on impact. Also a fan of all the spare parts they set you up with. It’s the most versatile machine for the money. It’s definitely better than many of its Chinese counterparts.

On my MJX H16BM if you over tighten the underneath screws of the steering assembly it makes the steering too tight and the servo struggles. I have to have them at medium tight for good steering and then just have to remember to retighten them. Kind of annoying.

It kinda seems to me like running it on 2s would solve a lot of the problems people seem to have with diffs and damage in general. 45mph power is no joke in a 1/14th, it's a lot of small parts being put under a lot of pressure. Entirely up to people what they do woth their RCs, but if it's too fast and powerful for the wheelbase then put a lower voltage battery in it rather than moaning about it. 🤷

@@rcguygarage not really, you are, after all reviewing it and showing it's capabilities under various circumstances. However it is common among video comments on the MJX series to bash them and complain that they aren't as strong as they should be, whether it be drivetrain or structural. Most of these people are also using it in the setup where it is capable of nearly 50mph. Which is an awful lot of speed for a tiny vehicle, nor is it the ideal setup for bashing. Landing on power in a vehicle that has the wheel speed to do 30mph like most minis is very, very different from landing on power on a vehicle that has the wheel speed to do 46mph. As is the capability for the height reached during a jump for one setup vs. the other. The laws of physics govern both equally after all. Very often the expectations of RC'ers is at odds with reality. TL:DR, the majority of problems with this vehicle are fixed by using it on 2s. And changing the ESC. 😂

​@@rcguygarage I've watched a fair few of your videos now, I like that you are a straight talking experienced RC'er that gives their impressions of a vehicle with little filter. I disagree with you on some points and agree with you on others but overall I get the impression that you aren't 'reviewing' something in the way a lot of other KZreadrs would, where things don't get mentioned and issues are skipped over or they won't get the next car from that company as a freebie. That's nice, and separates some of my favourite channels that I actually watch/listen to from others that i watch just to see how a car looks on video, or because they get it a couple weeks early. (Double edged sword there) As a last word on the little truggy, I just feel that because something CAN do something, it doesn't mean it's built to do it all the time in all situations. If you want to do 46 mph then that's great, 3s it, take it to some tarmac and let rip. If you are doing heavy off-road or big jumps (or a skatepark), then a 2s and 30mph+ really should be enough for such a small car. It is for everything else. Hell, a genuine 30 mph 1/10th RTR is considered pretty fast, and more than fast enough to break itself. 😂 Keep trucking and I'll keep watching mate.

@@unloveableandre The other amazing thing about this RC car is that it is cheaper to buy another one for a parts car in case your runner breaks anything, than to buy the replacement or repair parts individually. The ideal though is to scrape some cash together to have one parts car and two runners. What I really like about MJX is that they actually LISTEN to their customers and Improve their products, the MJX 14210 V.2 and H14BM is proof of this. The drivetrain on the MJX 14210 also seems to be over engineered for durability just like their 16th scale cars - breaking and/or bending a MJX 16th scale car's CVD still remains to be seen.

@@philiprccars4340 I had the H14Bm, that I got when it was launched, with a discount, but I never took it to sand or snow (Florida). It was absurdly fast and powerful. I did a last ran before returning and ended up breaking one of the front wheel swing arms hitting a parking spot curb. I even got him new tires, not off-road ones and it looked great. The weight distribution and height was a problem for me, so the racing tires were a good solution. Then I realized why I got a off-road truck in the first place? I have another truck from MJX, the 14301, that I also destroyed the front swing arm... but I bought his value in spare parts and it's new again, including a new shell. The only part you cannot find for the 14301 is the front grill and light assembly, what is odd as it will be the first thing to take a hit. Mine is broken, but in place. Also got a full spare shell, with lights, just in case...
