wombat Posted September 17, 2023 Share Posted September 17, 2023 I got mine from AliExpress, got a new user discount code from the seller, and an AliExpress discount code, put them both in and got it delivered all week in for £83.99, only slight problem is I ordered the option with 2 2s 2500mah batteries and it turned up with 1050 mah batteries, am currently trying to sort this out with the sellers, but still happy with the deal I got 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lone-wolf Posted September 18, 2023 Author Share Posted September 18, 2023 Best place is Banggood, keep an eye on the pricing as they keep putting the MJX on flash deals and mine arrived really fast, im planning on getting the 1/14th Lancia at some point 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wombat Posted September 18, 2023 Share Posted September 18, 2023 Just recieved a credit code from the company i bought mine from to compensate for the battery mix up 👍 Decided to get another flysky reciever to link the mjx to my gt3c ,should help with the sensitive steering if the end points are backed off, we shall see 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fred barlow Posted September 18, 2023 Share Posted September 18, 2023 We got ours from AliExpress, one was £64 the other was £67 both with free 12 day shipping in the back to school event but both were with 1 2s battery but with hobbyking coming back to the UK some 2 and 3s aftermarket ones will be easier to get 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just ordered one of these from bangood, seemed like a decent deal. I went for the 1 battery version since i saw they are low capacity and theres aftermarket ones with more than double mAh capacity. I can see that you are running an after market battery in yours. Which one are you running? it seems to fit nicely? id like to get a few 2s ones, i know it can handle 3s but i'm guessing i'd crash it more easily with those... I saw somewhere that the ones for wl toys 144001 should fit nicely? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Re lipo`s yes the WLtoys 2S 2200mah fits just snug, lots more run time and i agree 2S is just right 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stormbringer Posted October 1, 2023 Share Posted October 1, 2023 If its a usb type charger then i would suggest getting a better charger otherwise it will take ages to charge up 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So it will charge them but it will take a while? i might try it that way, if it gets to tiresome ill get a better one. Any suggestions for a decent charger of banggood/aliexpress? I'm from Croatia so don't have access to amazon or your local shops in UK. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lone-wolf Posted October 1, 2023 Author Share Posted October 1, 2023 to future proof in the hobby its worth spending on a reasonable charger, so you can balance charge and use storage function for batteries that dont get used, you can get a basic charger for about £10 but no storage with these 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for all the help guys, i'll let you know when the car arrives and how it drives, this will be my first touch with a semi decent rc car so hopefully it will be lots of fun! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stormbringer Posted October 1, 2023 Share Posted October 1, 2023 If you do decide on a proper charger something with features like this will be an asset to you Just to give an idea what to look for this https://www.modelsport.co.uk/product/skyrc-s65-ac-charger-65w-438918 or this https://www.modelsport.co.uk/product/skyrc-e680-ac-dc-80w-charger-440716 Banggood/AliExpress will no doubt do chargers similar to those linked above 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lone-wolf Posted October 1, 2023 Author Share Posted October 1, 2023 If its any help i have been using an Overlander RC6 charger for about 8 years and its been (still is) rock solid performance 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Move your throttle trim when you turn it on and see if it binds, it probably won't bind if it's registered throttle input 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah it does of a sorts, you get reduced power a few seconds before the lvc cuts out, Here's our video of our last bash with the mjxs https://youtu.be/9de6z_l2kWY 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
