I Made The Ultimate Upgraded MJX Hyper Go 10208 & It's INSANE! 

Yeah I'd be taking them apart either way so might as well bring you guys along for the ride :-)

Glad you enjoyed and thanks for watching :-)

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!

Glad you enjoy. This is the stuff I would be doing even if I wasn't recording so I'm happy to share it!

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.

I agree. I was not easy on this thing and it's pretty rare for a car to make it all the way through my evaluation without breaking at all.

Thanks Glad you enjoy :-)

Awesome glad you're enjoying :-)

With the experience I have now on the truck I'd say it's definitely worth picking up especially at the aliexpress.

Glad you're enjoying and there's plenty more to come!

I tried in the dirt but wasn't successful. I think you need thicker center differential fluid. I'm guessing they had the center differential pretty much locked up in those test videos.

I'd recommend giving it a try. Even without the upgrades it's a pretty fun truck.

Yeah this is the kind of stuff I would be doing even if I wasn't recording so I'm happy to share it :-)

Yeah I really like doing the slow-mo stuff!

Awesome glad you're enjoying! I really love making these videos and interacting with you guys so keep watching and commenting :-)

Yeah it's hard to go wrong for the price. I keep a few of them on hand for just this sort of occasion.

It's not a perfect ESC but I think it's the best value for money on the budget side.

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 :-)

Glad you enjoy thanks for watching :-)

Will do!

Yeah it'll be interesting to see what different styles they come up with using the same chassis.

Nice! Glad the screwdriver mod worked for you.

Awesome glad you enjoy!

Glad you enjoyed the drawing will be soon!

Yeah I was really curious to see how it would handle the extra stress so got right to it :-)

This! 😅

:)

Thanks Glad you enjoy!

Yeah they're not too bad.

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.

What you saw in the original video is the final version.

Thanks Glad you enjoyed!

Yeah I'm sure there are plenty of options for shocks. These did work okay but are certainly not the best choice. I have no doubt someone else will come up with a better solution

It is probably the best budget ESC you can get.

Thanks for watching!

Yeah it came out pretty sweet!

You should do it anyway 🤘I’ll watch it haha

Me too!

@@richiesavino9653 oh for sure! Hopefully Wednesday 😉

@@DoRC thanks! 😊

Extended there about 106 in the rear and 96 in the front

You're welcome thanks for watching!

Yeah this would be a massive step up in terms of durability from the emacs. I think it'd be a little bit smaller but a lot more capable

Glad you enjoy!

Yeah it's only been out a little while.

Glad you enjoyed :-)

Yeah it's possible but to be fair I have also had the same thing happen on the MT-410 2.0 with the droop screw set correctly so I think It's a weak point with the shocks.

@@DoRC fair enough ) well yes, plastic shock caps often don't stay on anyway. One of possible reasons, ithink, that droop screws get pushed through the arms. The stiffer the springs - the faster.

@@T0x1c0v3r Yeah it's entirely possible but I will say that I've had lots of other cars with plastic shock caps that didn't fail. It is a little disappointing to have such a fundamental thing be a weak point on such an expensive car.

@@DoRC Tekno's are commonly very good for racing, but when they do a "basher", it's always the same lightweight racing parts. One of the best options is to sell the light parts, when they are still new and get tougher part

@@T0x1c0v3r oh yeah for sure. They're just really weren't very many tougher parts available when I got my MT410 2.0. I pre-ordered it and put it together the first few days it was out. I haven't really messed with it a whole lot since then. Tekno has aluminum shock caps available.

Yeah the part where you've got one pin done and your soldering the other one on always gives me a little bit of the pucker factor. I've made contact a few times and it's pretty spectacular.

@@DoRC QS8’s are the worst. Plus you’ve got 500 in the lipo. 😫😫

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.

Glad you enjoyed!

Yeah I would be doing all this stuff on my own anyway so I might as well share it :-)

Well according to my contact at MJX what you saw in the original video and what the other reviewers have is what they are shipping. They're is no V1 or V2 it's just this version.

@DoRC yea i cant afford any new rc at this point in life and im ok with that keeping a roof over my family's head is the most important thing to me right now hit a really rough spot in life and pretty much had to sell most of my rcs off 30 + years of collecting is all but gone i have 4 trucks left that are all up for sale still but gotta do what i gotta. Thanks.

It's actually a pretty good in stock form too.

Thanks for watching!

Thanks you too!

Stay tuned. I've got the new pre-ordered. I kind of missed the boat on the monster truck so I'm excited to get this one.

Thanks glad you enjoy!

Glad you enjoyed and thanks for watching :-)

I'd say it depends on what you already have. If you're buying your first basher or a truck that's going to be your primary basher I would say get the outcast. It's a great truck and parts and upgrades will be more readily available. If you already have some cars and you're just looking to experiment with something new I'd say get this. It's cheaper and pretty fun.

Thanks Glad you enjoyed :-)

Oh, and your videos are awesome. I've learned a few tricks from your channel so please keep on offering those little tidbits :)

Maybe though I'm not going to lie I've already popped a couple of these caps off on the MT-410 2.0. never had a problem on any of the others from tekno So not sure why.

Glad you enjoyed the drawing will be soon.

The taller tires and wider stance will give you effectively more suspension travel so that might be all you need. I did find that the hobby wing ESC really woke it up. Let me know how it goes!

Well there were two reasons for that. The first one is that I really wanted to get it done but the second one is that I actually delayed release on the first video until I heard back from MJX. I didn't want to give you guys bad information.

@@DoRC thoughtful of you. Thanks!

I try thanks for watching :-)

Yeah I'm sure there are other options for double-sided tape. The bulk of my experience has been with VHB and I've had Good luck with it so I've never really tried anything else

The gorilla stuff is so strong, when I needed to remove it, I had to have a heat gun and a big thin spudger and a lot of time and patience. That stuff is nuts on porous surfaces at least.

Sounds like a good use case. I'll be doing the giveaway soon.

They do they just weren't available when I first got the kit and I haven't gotten around to really messing with it since putting it together. It's just been sitting on a shelf until I grab the shocks for this video. I have them ordered now

Honestly at the price you can get them for on AliExpress I really think it's worth getting. This thing's a little tank and even stock it's a lot of fun.

Yeah it seems to handle the extra down travel pretty easily though The best way to increase ride height in my opinion is just to go with bigger tires. The 2.8 Badlands seem like a great option.

@DoRC great entertaining video btw!

Maybe but I will say that even this release version is pretty darn good out of the box.

Yeah I think it just depends on what you're sensitive to. I'm so used to fast servos that I find I actually have trouble controlling the vehicle when the servo is too slow because it always feels like I'm fighting it.

It's definitely a fun upgrade!

It's actually pretty good out of the box but these upgrades did definitely change how it handles!

@@DoRC I'm glad the rear cvds held in an not pop out. Good job again bud.

I wouldn't mind doing one but I don't think I'm the best person for it. I am pretty tolerant to different suspension and differential tuning and I don't have a lot of experience doing fine tuning like a racer would. I usually just kind of throw whatever feels right in there and deal with the consequences :-)

Yeah definitely has better air control as well. Don't get me wrong the stock tires are very good but these do feel better especially for stunts.

I don't really have much experience with team magic cars so I can't comment on that. The OT is a pretty good truck those smaller than these. I think the 10208 is a decent vehicle though if you're looking for a first car or your only basher you might want to go with something that has a bit more time under its belt as no one really knows how this thing's going to do long-term yet.

👍​@@DoRC

Thanks Glad you enjoy!

Thanks :-)

Glad you're enjoying and thanks for watching!

Yeah I really like these Badlands. I've put them on a lot of different vehicles and I don't think I've ever been disappointed in them.

Yeah it's really decent stock but this definitely wakes it up!

Awesome glad you're enjoying :-)

Thanks :-)

Thanks Glad you enjoyed!

Thanks glad you enjoyed :-)

You mean the original ESC or the one in the video?

It's pretty fun out of the box too but yeah this definitely woke it up

Thanks for entering :-)

Sounds good The drawing will be soon :-)

The upgrades are cool but I still recommend it even in stock form. Especially at 260 bucks from AliExpress This is a cool car.

Thanks :-)

Thanks :-)

I'm overall pretty impressed with it. It's certainly not without its flaws but It's a pretty stout truck.

No it's all live. No scripts no voiceovers. The only time I will not have the audio synced with the video is if I'm doing a sped up section like when I did the three tires and I speak over it.

Knipex pliers wrench. Not cheap but absolutely worth it!

Drawing will be soon :-)

Yeah I definitely recommend giving it a try!

This thing's definitely got the goods where it counts!

Thanks!

Thanks!

It definitely made it snappier but for general use the stock ESC is pretty decent. The programmability is nice but at least in my experience once you do initial adjustments to an ESC you rarely touch it so I'm not sure how much of an advantage it really is long-term.

@@DoRC Thank you sir, incredibly helpful to get your thoughts on this. Consistently the most comprehensive RC coverage on RU-vid 🙂🙏

Awesome Glad you're watching and thanks for commenting!

Yeah I figured most of the upgrades would be great but I was pretty skeptical about the shocks. I wasn't sure I was going to find a set that I already had which would work properly but they seem good other than the fact that they broke :-)

@@DoRC I’m actually modding a Losi mini non prep to be a dirt racer. Any advice to keep the ball ends clipped in?

@@lu22334 Not really unfortunately. If they are coming apart the best thing to do would be to either find a substitute that would be stronger or if you could figure out some way to screw the ends in instead of using the ball end so that you give it a washer on top of it to prevent them from coming apart That might work.

Glad you're enjoying!

So far it's a pretty good truck!

@DoRC I got the h14bm for my daughter and she loves it

@@stevenblackard2204 It is a good tough little truck though can be hard to handle it full power and sometimes can be a pain to work on. It does represent good value for money though!

@DoRC yah she stripped out the rear differential. The replacement should be in today. She can't wait to have her truck running again. It's crazy that mjx made a 40+ mph truck that my 5 year old can handle. Other than shocks the differential is the first significant break or malfunction and she's been bashing it for months. The entire lineup of mjx hypergo on amazon is extremely impressive. And can't wait to get the 10208.

O and the steering rods she has broke one of the plastic ends of the steering rods aswell

Yeah I've got enough packs through it now to be pretty confident that it's a good truck. The changes I made to it put an awful lot of additional stress on everything and it still held up really well. No matter what vehicle you have there's always going to be a subset of people who have a bad experience whether it's luck or they just got a bad example or maybe they just don't like them etc but overall I think people are going to be happy with this one especially at the AliExpress price

@DoRC I bough a MJX 14210 one and a half month ago, I'm still getting into the hobby, finding the enjoyment and I'm having fun for now. If in 6 months I'm still in love with the hobby, I'm almost certain that the MJX 10208 will be the truck I will get. I think I will not go wrong from what I have seen so far. 😊

@lsismeiro Yeah I agree. It's certainly not without its flaws but overall seems to be a good platform.
