Lone-wolf Posted August 26, 2023 Share Posted August 26, 2023 Thought i would start a discussion thread on this little beast, got mine today and not run it yet but seems top quality, i went for the 2 battery option, but in hindsight not such a stunning idea as the supplied box type lipo 2S 1050mah charges via the USB so pretty slow, but i have some 2S 2200mah that will fit, this little rocket can run 3s but i wont be doing that, here is a pic of the MT fresh out of the box, i will add some more detailed images in a while and hope to have a run in the morning 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wombat Posted August 26, 2023 Share Posted August 26, 2023 I ordered mine with the 2500 lipos, so hopefully can charge them with my sky rc charger 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lone-wolf Posted August 26, 2023 Author Share Posted August 26, 2023 some more pics of the MJX, my next post should be some running footage i really wonder where MJX got the inspiration for the body shell design the shocks out of the box are super smooth, i would be tempted to say about the best i have had on an RTR out of box, damping and spring rate seem perfect the drive line is smooth, a tiny bit of cogging if not giving it a lot of throttle but hard to spot Last pic is with 1/24th K5 for scale, keeping in mind the K5 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lone-wolf Posted August 27, 2023 Author Share Posted August 27, 2023 First run out with it, need a lot of practise, or a very wide ramp, it stood up to my abuse just fine and pretty good run time on stock lipo (2S 1050mah) 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psyklone6 Posted August 27, 2023 Share Posted August 27, 2023 I think they are pretty good quality and great fun, great value for the money. I got the suspiciously familiar truggy looking one and would also recommend 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fred barlow Posted August 27, 2023 Share Posted August 27, 2023 just got around to finally ordering our 2 (got them in the aliexpress sale) after seeing the abuse hardcore rc lads gave theirs they seem to rival the mt10 for been the best budget basher 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darkeeboy Posted September 11, 2023 Share Posted September 11, 2023 Having trouble with mine not going into reverse. Infact three out of four times it won’t engage… maybe a better transmitter would help? If so any suggestions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darkeeboy Posted September 11, 2023 Share Posted September 11, 2023 Will try as I had to adjust cos it was wanting to creep forward with no throttle 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wombat Posted September 14, 2023 Share Posted September 14, 2023 Finally got mine, first impressions are excellent, for it's size it's mental on full power. Only slight problem is it arrived with 1050mah batteries when I ordered it with 2500mah batteries. Have messaged them so hopefully will be sorted. Taking to the local rc track at weekend to give it a proper trial 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

psyklone6 Posted September 15, 2023 Share Posted September 15, 2023 It's a good winter car, if you're more of a fair weather driver who likes to put his best kit away during the worst of the weather. That's why I got both this and my HBX. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wombat Posted September 17, 2023 Share Posted September 17, 2023 Just been at the local rc club, went well on the track, very twitchy to drive due to the short wheel base and quick steering but we'll impressed, will be perfect for bashing and general messing about. 2 other members of the club are going to order one 😃 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
