Dave777 Posted March 9 Share Posted March 9 I’m looking to buy a pair of rc cars for my kids. After a bit of research it seems that mjx are a good balance of value and quality. 14209 / 14210 looks really good but a bit of a stretch price wise. then I found the M162 MEW4 which looks similar but nearly half the price (£70 vs £135). however, one seller says these have been retired and spares are difficult to come by. Another forum post I seem to remember reading say that most of the parts on the m162 are share with other mjx models. is it safe to buy an m162 or are spares really becoming unavailable?

Dave777 Posted March 12 Author Share Posted March 12 Doesn’t really matter now as I decided to go for the 16208 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ziggy122 Posted March 12 Share Posted March 12 Tbh, been able to Easily get spares is a crucial thing to sway This hobby, you will break something it's part of the fun! If you have to wait for parts such as Aliexpress, order 2 or 3, saves on postage but means you start to build a spares base up When my first Rc become discontinued and i wasnt able to run it, I decided to get it all cleaned up and repaired and yes sadly it sits on a shelf, but it's times up! but the fun and memories remain! The Losi Micro T is dead, again it sits on its little stand The others I hope to soon be bringing them back to life and racing around once more!

Dave777 Posted March 14 Author Share Posted March 14 Thanks Ziggy. I’m the end I decided to get the newer 16208 and 16209 from AliExpress. It said 5 days delivery, ordered them midday Tuesday and they’ve already arrived in the UK here on Friday morning. now I need to get some spares as they’re for my two boys. I’ve warned them that the cars will break but are designed to be repaired. Here’s my basket of spares on AliExpress, is there anything you would get more of, not get, or isn’t in the basket? I’ve ordered 4 3000mAh batteries and an iMAX B6AC 80W charger. also on my shopping list:- - lipo charging bag. - a car charger or some way of charging when camping. - track marking stuff eg football cones.
