Hi, I have bought the MJX Hyper GoH16h and it has come with two batteries, 2s and a 3s(7.4v1050 and 11.1v 1050)
I already have an Overlander SD4 charger but I am beginning to think I need a different charger..can someone please advise on what I need?
many thanks in advance

https://uk.banggood.com/EACHINE-Flyhal-FC600-Two-Batteries-RTR-1-or-16-2_4G-4WD-45km-or-h-Brushless-Fast-RC-Cars-Trucks-Vehicles-with-Oil-Filled-Shock-Absorber-p-1890171.html?imageAb=2&rmmds=myorder&cur_warehouse=USA&ID=531931&akmClientCountry=GB&a=1660880514.9025&akmClientCountry=GBhe loves it but now wants another for me to race with him, apart from the same model what is on the market that is latest pro version of these or similar priced cars please?

A general rule of thumb when charging lipo batteries is to put them on at 1C. So this means that you set the charge current to be equal to their capacity; for a 1500 mAh battery that would mean a charge current of 1.5 A (or 1500 mA).
thanks, I've now set it to 1.0a

For the price these are probably worth a try; the performance will most likely be fine. it might be worth keeping a close eye on them the first few times you charged them in case the quality control isn’t quite as good.
Hi, I just checked the dims and they don't fit, so it looks like I'll have to get the 'branded' ones from Modelsport..I just can't seem to get 1000mAh 25c T connectors from most sites, well not that I have found as yet.
One more thing though, I have the Overlander SD4 to charge batteries, do I set it at 4a? -

If you can get it to physically fit you should be ok with the bigger battery. I’m not sure what size the pack is in these but you can often pick up decent batteries from Amazon or most of the usual RC shops like model sport or wheelspin.
many thanks

many thanks, so as long as it fits in the bay then it doesn't matter if its 1600mAh? or if it's 25c or 35c?

hi, this might be a total newbie question but can I put a 1600mAh 2S LiPo Battery 7.4V T Plug 25C in these? my current battery is the 1000mAh 2S LiPo Battery 7.4V T Plug 25C
and any recommendations for reliable sellers please?
many thanks in advance

Modelsport UK sell the body post parts you need. Look in the FTX tracer spares section. You might need new front posts too as the Flyhal version has them cut down from the factory.

many thanks, I have put a wishlist of spares into Modelsport. I really only want the body posts as my boy likes one of the shells, it happens to have 1 centre body post.

The Flyhal FC600 you got is the same car as the HBX 16890, FTX Tracer and a few other cars with some differences. (you got the good one)
Any chassis/Arms/General bits you would need, you can find on Banggood or Ebay or Amazon or anywhere else.
FTX Tracer/HBX 16890?
Lots of stuff available for your wee car (a lot of it done on your version) including clear shells from Phat Bodies that can be made to fit and painted.
It's a great little car mate, hope you have fun with it like I did.
Hi, many thanks for your reply. We took the car out yesterday and things we learned very quickly...this thing is fast! my son will find any kerb, wall, obstacle to hit head on! we will need extra bodyshell pins a lot by the way he crashes it!
I'm very pleased with it tbh.
So, back to my post, I can buy any FTX Tracer or HBX 16890 bodyshell and it will fit? you mention other cars so just wondering what they are to check out their shells too
I'll look on the PhatBodies website too..also, where can I get this little nodule part to screw in so I can use a slightly different shell please? please see attached image
Many thanks

Just going back to this, my steering to the left seems to have become not very responsive? It will turn to the right fine. I've tried changing it on the controller but it doesn't make any real difference. Is there something I can do to get it back to normal please? nothing appears to be broken or out of place..
Many thanks in advance
