HYPER GO H14BM 1/14 Brushless RC Cars for Adults Fast 50 mph, RC Trucks 4wd Offroad Waterproof, Electric Powered High Speed RC Car, Scary Fast Extreme RC Truggy with 3S Battery for Snow Sand, Black

This remote-controlled (RC) car is incredibly fast and provides a lot of fun for those who drive it. However, it's important to note that it is not just a toy, but a powerful RC car. Due to its high speed, you need to be attentive while driving it, as it can easily cause damage to objects or be hazardous if operated by children. There are some technical aspects to keep in mind: the throttle has a slight delay, and the reverse function doesn't always activate immediately after braking. Despite these issues, the overall enjoyment of driving the car remains intact as long as your expectations are managed. For those looking to improve performance, it's possible to upgrade the Electronic Speed Controller (ESC) to reduce throttle delay and achieve a more responsive control. However, this modification isn't necessary for everyone and is not something I feels compelled to do at the moment. I've discovered an issue that really needs attention: about 90% of the screws used in this RC car are 1.5 hex head types, which are very prone to stripping. With these cars, only about 20% of the fun comes from driving them; the remaining 80% is derived from tuning and tweaking. Because of this, I would expect better quality screws to be used. Although I don't mind if parts break during use—it's a normal part of the hobby and changing parts or repairing the car adds to the enjoyment—stripping screws is a different matter. It's frustrating and takes away from the fun, making it an issue that needs to be addressed to avoid spoiling the overall experience. Other than this problem, the RC car offers great value. The car includes screwdrivers that are slightly smaller than the screws used in the car. To prevent the stripping of screw heads, it is highly recommended to use high-quality screwdrivers that are appropriately sized for the car's screws. Using the right tools not only protects the integrity of the screws but also ensures smoother and more efficient maintenance of the car. I had an excellent experience with customer service. After informing them about the issue I encountered, they promptly offered to send me replacement parts for those I had difficulty removing due to stripped screws. Additionally, the product itself comes with an ample supply of spare parts, which is highly commendable. Kudos to the customer service team for their prompt and helpful response.

Update 8/17/24 well, a front shock broke after 3 days of use. It's been an ordeal trying to figure out the correct part and ordering said part. The part on the Amazon HYPER GO storefront for the 1/14 accessories is the wrong part, so sent that back. After much discussion on the right part with support, I ordered another part via Ebay shipping from China. Waiting for it to arrive to see if it's compatible. HYPER GO H14BM - I recently bought a HYPER GO H16BM for my son, and it was so awesome that I also purchased a HYPER GO H14BM. I'm so glad I did! FAST: The HYPER GO H14BM is so freaking fast at 100% throttle. At 75%, it's fast enough that I normally use that mode. DURABLE: It has taken many tumbles and flips; I'm amazed it's still intact. BATTERY LIFE: The standard battery lasts a long time, at least 30 minutes if not more. ROOM FOR IMPROVEMENT: I wish it came with more clips to keep the body on, it only comes with eight. Also, the four holes on the body that connect to the four stubs on the frame, which the clips then connect to, are a very snug fit. This might be by design so as to help keep the body on tight. I may take a file and shave the holes open just a tad to make it easier to put on and take off the body. VALUE: It's definitely worth the money at $199. I would buy it again!

I recently purchased the 3 cell battery version of the H14BM (which is larger than 1/16th scale models) for my son for Christmas. This truck arrived 100% as shown in the description, with everything that was shown in the pictures, and let me tell you...THIS BULLET IS FAST, and it runs great even in grass. If you haven't already, search YouTube videos of the 'Hyper Go' line in action, there are several out there. (I have seen this thing fly across a pond, on top of the water) The option I chose included two 2,000mah 3cell li-po batteries ( in protective hard shell cases). It also came with two chargers, the remote, a handfull of spare body and chassis parts, two body shells, spare shock springs, extra set of mud/snow tires, the wheelie bar (which is essential in high speed mode lol) metal frame plate, cooling fans installed on both the ESC and Motor/heat sink, really nice strong metal axles on all 4 wheels, dual bearings on each wheel, waterproof enclosure that holds the receiver, adjustable coil over shocks, and more. The battery area does have additional room to strap down a larger capacity battery if you have one and want to run your own, or buy one for longer run time. The remote has an extra 3rd channel/button to turn on/off the front led lights, which you could add more to if you wanted to. My son is only 7, he is rough with this, but it takes a beating and rolls on. We have both driven it and it is blazing fast, especially when you unlock the esc from its factory setting (5 quick button pushes on the power button). You can drive it in 70% mode using the switch on the remote if you need to keep it more tame in congested areas, so you have 3 options for speed, 70%, 100%, and the faster more powerful unlocked 100%. We have flipped, rolled, tumbled, smashed, and accidentally launched this thing countless times and it just keeps going. There are two things I would have liked to see with this truck, some spare hardware included (screws if you do need to make a repair, or lose one) as it doesn't come with any for chassis parts. I understand extra parts being included effects the low price point, but I personally would have paid a little more just to have spare screws added to the box, as ordering them separately when one breaks, or gets lost can be time consuming and does add up if you want an extras. Other than that, it would have been great to have either a dial or switch control on the remote, or maybe even built in to the ESC programming to add expo to the steering sensitivity with throttle. The steering is too sensitive at high speeds and an expo/rate control would have been really handy. Hopefully this can be added to future models, even if it is automatically mixed into the programming of the steering. An expo rate curve, or even a flat rate would make this thing PERFECT! Overall I searched high and low for the perfect RC for my son, and I needed something that would handle a child's torture, and this truck does that very well. There are replacement parts available now for this including all the electronic components, and even metal upgrade parts, which look really flashy. When I needed a screw that we broke by plowing into the garage at a high speed, I reached out to customer service before searching and they replied quickly. I was informed that they are in the process of building a new comprehensive site for parts currently, in addition to the various sites like Amazon, Ebay, and Ali Express that already carry parts for this now. Overall, this is an amazing deal for the price, and there really isn't anything comparable out there that is this solid at this price point. My opinion is, if you are looking for a 4WD truck that is capable of handling accidents, bashing, and puddles, you likely won't find a better deal than this model. They did an amazing job with this truck! I honestly don't feel like there is a better "ready to run", out of the box RC truck out there for under $200 like the 'Hyper Go' line and I will buy another one if I need a great gift for someone else.

TLDR; %100 percent worth the money. Here's why: Immediately after purchasing and using this R/C; I decided to buy an absolute unit of a beginner RC. The ready to roll Traxxas Rustler 4x4 VXL Ultimate for around $800 altogether. Price is for the car, the charging station, and the battery pack that they make you purchase sperately. The Rustler Ultimate comes standard with every Heavy Duty plastic/aluminun part and completely unnecessary phone app technology to measure Speed, Temps, and Battery Power; that, according to Traxxas, would cost about $400 separately. These add ons make it a super fast and dang near indestructible R/C car. To compare these two RC cars is obviously unfair. However, both deliver the same excitement. The Rustler is fast, tuned, stable, durable. This is what I'd exact from something I paid $800 for. This HyperGo is ridiculously over powered, stable at lower speeds but next to impossible to go in a straight line going anything above +20mph. However, it's an affordable Basher. It's certainly not as tough as the Rustler but dang can this thing take a serious bashing. Being ridiculously over powered, I find myself using the "70%" setting on the remote basically always. It's more stable this way, which is a no brainer thing to do. For its size, it has more than enough power at that setting to enjoy it. My first run with it, I did have a major issue. Two of the bottom screws holding the steering rack together must have been loose because after about 15 minutes, I could barely turn right or left. Both screws were nearly out of their holes (included picture you'll see a little piece of green poster putty ontop a metal rod) that were connected to the steering parts. These screws are made of only the highest grade of low quality chineseium steel on the market. I managed to strip both of them while trying to put them back in. I used a replacement screw for one of the stripped screws that I was easily able to get back in. However, the other screw's hole managed to get the threads stripped. I inserted a tiny metal rod I had lying around and used some super glue with some poster putty to attach it back on. This seemed to do the trick but there is still a little play in the steering. This little fabrication has lasted me a dozen or so runs so far. But other than that issue, this RC has given me no problems. The 2 included 3s batteries give me aroumd 25 minutes minimum of run time each while on the "70%" setting. So about an hour of use out of it. This, in my book, is superb. But the charge time is ridiculously long to fully charge one of them up. I haven't set I stopwatch to it, but it has gotta be around 6hrs to charge just one. You may wish to buy more batteries or if there is a faster charger out there, I'd say it'd be a solid investment. Due to it being 1/14 scale, it's not meant for grass that's above its front bumper. But if you operate it on a freshly cut lawn, this thing is an absolute ripper. Maintenance work on this looks to be a nightmare. It's over built, in my opinion, with what appear to be 100 low grade alloy screws. There's a screw on like every 5mm on this RC. The included tools work to an extent but these too are of low quality alloys. So if you break something, be prepared psychologically before hand and know you may need to drill out/rethread some of the screws and holes and may still need a fertile mind to custom fabricate something for it to work. All in all, this was $200 well spent in my book and I would certainly recommend this as a budget beginner Basher RC. I love my Rustler due to its durability, size, and stability. But I also love this HyperGo for it's durability, raw power, and it's oftentimes unpredictability at high speeds. There's fun to be had here.

VERY Fast! Probably 30+mph! Great for beginners! The remote has a speed limiter (70%) and I recommend beginners use it until you’re comfortable with the speed and handling. Also recommend beginners install the wheelie-bar! This thing easily flips itself on a full-throttle launch until you get good at throttle control. Once you are proficient at 70%, crank it up and have fun. But there’s one more performance upgrade that comes with it. Springs! The stock springs are very soft but it helps beginners maintain control. Once you’ve had this thing a few weeks and are under control on 100% throttle, change out the black springs for the stiffer silver springs. It takes a little more skill to control, but it’s a blast. SPARE PARTS! This comes with lots of spare parts, and you WILL break stuff. But you have a full set of suspension parts as spares, as well as a rear wing, body, sand-paddle tires, and other stuff. OTHER UPGRADES! There are tons of upgrades available for this, including wheels, tires, motors, servos, chassis, and all suspension components, available on Amazon. All of the electronics are industry standard and compatible with aftermarket stuff. DESIGN FLAWS: First, the left axles should’ve been lefty-threaded. Be sure to check the wheel nuts before and after each use, as the nuts will spin themselves off and you’ll lose them as well as the 12mm hex hubs and pins. It comes with extras, but worth a quick check each time. Second, you should be ready to upgrade the steering servo to something with metal gears. The front-end takes a beating and the pressure on the front wheels beats on the plastic servo gears and eventually strips them out. Quality servos are available for 20-30 bucks. PARENTS: You will be spending money on upgrades and repairs. That’s the nature of this hobby. Stuff breaks, just like on real off-road vehicles. That’s just the way it goes. But again, it comes with an impressive number of spare parts, but you will inevitably break something that it didn’t come with. My first repair was one of the shocks. Easily available on Amazon.

Have bought 2 of these and I own lots of hobby grade - let me give you the pros and cons - Pros - Fast (especially if you press ESC button 5 times and unlock it) Definitely fun and capable - the paddle tires are a blast and the truck will drive over water with them (risky) Comes with built in lights and a generous amount of extra parts, but not the ones you will probably need. Li-ion batteries are safer than lipo and good for people who aren't hobbyists. Looks cool Cons - Notice I didnt put price in the pros list? Its not durable so keeping it running is a good lesson in price vs. cost. Hence why I've bought 2 - one is for parts. Currently have none of them in running order... The hardware is garbage. Hard not to strip screws out, they are made of recycled metal, and also in inconvenient locations that are hard to get to Should come with wheelie bar already installed, you will immediately trash the spoiler and body if you dont have it on. Aftermarket part support is terrible. Too many different versions, no good documentation. Just try buying shocks for it - Servo is weak and sloppy but that is to be expected with any cheaper car Finally, the ESC. I get it, they programmed a delay between forward and reverse to save the gears. But it makes it hard to do stunts off jumps. You probably wont notice the delay unless you do jumps, but it is definitely there and will turn the car into a flying brick. Try doing a front flip - you can't. Best if used as a sand and snow car. Running on pavement / dirt you will be toasting the gears and diffs, jumping and bashing and you will be breaking EVERYTHING. If you can keep it at lower power setting and are happy it could maybe hold up - but who wants to do that?

I'd been watching videos about this RC car for months, waiting and hoping that it would one day be listed for sale on Amazon and I was excited to see that the day has finally come! I ordered this car last week and it arrived on Saturday morning which was just in time for some weekend bashing fun. Quality and Value: For me, one of the best things about purchasing a new RC car is the unboxing and MJX did not disappoint! For starters, the car is well secured in the box and the quality of the car feels SOLID! It's definitely got some weight to it due to the aluminum chassis which gives it more of a premium feel in my opinion. You'll also be pulling bag after bag of spare parts out of the box. I mean, the amount of included spare parts is insane and really raises the value of this RC. Not only does it come with spare parts for just about every wear part on an RC car but it also includes 2 x 3S batteries. The included controller is the same that comes with their other cars but this one has a thumb button that turns on and off the LED's. It's a cool feature but I always seem to forget that it's there. In any case, it's nice that MJX includes LED's in their cars. Driving and Speed: Some may know this and others may not but the manual indicates that there's a setting in the ESC that unlocks the 3S power. To unlock this setting all you have to do is hit the ESC button 5 times with the car powered on (you'll hear 3 beeps) but I wouldn't suggest turning this on if you're a beginner as this will make the car go from fast to INSANE fast. You need to have your reflexes in check with this setting because the car can get away from you very fast. But like I mentioned earlier, I own 2 other MJX RC's but I also own an Arrma Big Rock 3S and with the 3S setting unlocked this car would absolutely keep up with and potentially beat the Arrma in a race. I also expect to break less parts with the MJX when bashing due to the 1/14 scale H14BM having less inertia and weight compared to the 1/10 scale Arrma. And if or when I do end up breaking a part on the MJX, i've got spares galore! So all in all, would I recommend this fast little RC car? Absolutely! This is an awesome brushless RC car that includes countless spare parts will save you money and keep you up and running for quite some time. The value on this purchase is fantastic and i'd say it's a perfect gift for anyone interested in the hobby. Highly recommended!!

tl;dr The good? It's fast and it's fun when it works, plenty of battery life. The bad? If you plan on buying this then use Loctite blue on all the screws and nuts and make sure you tighten everything yourself. And keep it on the tarmac because it'll rust if you drive on grass. First of all, don't believe the "IT'S SO TOUGH, IT'S SO RUGGED" youtube reviews. Everyone I watched just superficially reviewed the car for a few minutes and didn't encounter any issues. If you've read reviews on forums about this car, they're most likely true. So far I've read about large turning circle, screws falling off or breaking, receiver dying and needing replacement, bits breaking off and having expensive replacement parts from manufacturer. Decided to still give it a go because it was relatively affordable compared to those other established brand names. Here is my experience: First time driving it after 20 minutes, the screw holding the steering together for the right front wheel came off (forgive the lack of technical terms). I was lucky enough to find it and put the steering back together, otherwise I would have had to order a whole kit of spares just for one screw. Second time, after approx 60 mins of total driving, the rear right wheel came off because the nut holding it on unscrewed itself despite being a nylon lock nut. That one I lost but luckily there was another one in with the spare parts so I was able to put the wheel back on. The turning circle was indeed large and this was exacerbated moreso when you were cruising or accelerating due to inherent understeer. Finally, the drivetrain is already rusting because the metal they used isn't stainless steel. I am therefore returning this unit because I don't want for the radio receiver to die or for something else that's essential to fall off. It's got loads of power and max speed but I really don't feel like this is a rugged or sturdy car. I think it's pretty inexcusable for screws to fall out of the steering like that during first go and then to lose wheels later on.
