I wasn't going to enter this one of your raffles as I already have the omni on preorder and didn't want to skew my probability of being able to win any future raffle of yours! But to support the channel I'll get a ticket anyway! 😅
@@-xirx- much appreciated! 😎👍
@@beyondRC happy to. Thank you for the channel, it helped me choose my 2 first RC cars recently and was a major factor in getting me into the hobby! 👍

The HAIBOXING 16890SA comes with extra paddle tires two batteries and an independent Hobbywing esc (3s compatible) 👍
Sadly not available in UK
Solid list! Love my little HBX and MJX cars. I found if you turn the strap sideways and face the plugs to the rear on the 3100A(not on the list), those 3S packs will fit.
I love the list, the Chinese are really coming through with good budget rc cars, I only with the made them a bit bigger.
For me personally i think the Grom is a good price. I own one and it’s a durible is heck. Plus the price comes to parts availability which is pretty much almost at any hobby shop unlike other brands. And the brush system is pretty fast for a small car. You have to admit. Plus you get a smart system which is nice. But I like the list I just would’ve like to see the Grom in the top five.
Man in my opinion the HBX 2996a and 2997a(US market only) should have taken the first place, are far better and more sturdy than any MJX, center differential make them better to drive, and tires are less soft and prone to overturn the truck
Yes these two are solid trucks. I converted a brushed one to brushless and it never breaks and handles very well
Are the parts easier to get than the MJX vehicles? The availability isn’t the issue, it’s how long it takes to get them because of customs
@@Hotpotate I think approximately 15 days with Bangood for the 2996a for a European customer, but an American customer can buy the 2997a from Amazon and have the spare parts from American sites in few days
How is the overheating on the 2997a? I looked at the reviews and a good few people were saying it was overheating a lot, what are your thoughts.
love my mjx 14210 - so many upgrade options that have truly got me into this hobby
Let's hope it catches on.
MJX filling all the empty spaces in their boxes .RTR & them some . The Lancia fills my heart , thou. Rally in España are big crowd pleasers , not so in the States .
Love rally myself. Just no where to do it around here.
For me it was Onmi Terminator vs Quantum Flux 2. But i went with the brushless MT10 sale and a brushless motor/ESC combo. Ended up about the same price as the Quantum. Im not sure i made the right choice, though. The Quantum looks awfully good
I finally ordered myself an MJX H14BM. Couldn't resist anymore after watching so many vids.
You will enjoy it
Thanks to beyond Rc! I watch every video! You convinced me to make the right option! All the way from South Africa!
I'm not sure on the MJX 14210 had lots of problems with it, it's heavy and that causes a lot more damage then a HBX, for example the front arms broke 2 times in 5 drives. Then the tie rods are snapping so easy at the ends, plastic is very weak. It's a fast car and it feels amazing to drive but it you need to change a tie rod nearly at every other drive it puts you off using it.
Thank you for the video and input. The only thing I would have loved to see is the MJX HYPER GO 14303 tested and on here. The new version has me wanting one.
its on the way! Full review on the new one coming very soon!
In general it is good. I would change the Grom for the Gorgon and I would have liked to see the HBX 2996 and the Wltoys 144001. I don't know if you have tried the Team Magic E5, it is a good 1/10 truck at a good price, a rival for MT10, Quantum 2 and Omni Terminator. But this is good and tells you that there is plenty to choose from.
The ARRMA 4x4 line suffers from the crap plastic ring and pinions. They will break under brushless power, the metal upgrades are a necessity.
Good list, but no1 is way over hyped imo. Bashed mine twice and sold it cheap. Overpowered on 3s, it’s over weight for the size, throttle delay, wheels crack and shatter, massive steering slack, poor geometry = turn over all the time. At the same time I bought my son the SG116 beast max or SCY.p as an upgrade to the Tracer that’s still going strong 3 years on. Beast max is phenomenal and missing from your list. If you haven’t reviewed it maybe you should. All the cars on you list are great, I have or have owed most of them, plan on getting truggy version of the quantum when it releases, but I really don’t get the hype on the 14210. Looks like good value but will disappoint. Anyhow, bought the terminator carbon and waiting for it to arrive.
Nice vid. I've just received the 16889a Pro as my first rc and it's perfect for my needs. In particular, being able to dial the speed right down for my kids to use is great, anywhere from 40% to 100%, whereas mjx is a choice between 70% or 100% only. 16889a pro (unbranded) was 84 quid on ebay whereas mjx 1/14 is well over 120 quid even on aliexpress. 1/16 mjx have poorer quality metal gears/ diffs. 16889a pro ftw!
Great review👍 I do like the FTX Gladius though
For me it’s always going to be about the price. That being said, thanks for your informative videos.
I would put the Traxxas 2wd on the list instead of Arrma Boost, else a great list 👍
The raffle ends on my birthday so im definitely going to try to enter. Im all over the omni since i already own the D12!
Love the guys at Serious RC, they make MJX ownership so much easier 🙂
Couldn't agree more! Tom is a top bloke also 👌👍
That's was good chap!, theres more good news for people with MJX cars, Tom @ Serious-Rc just updated the website for international sales that include The USA, Canada,The EU and Australia!... Asia coming soon...
I love My 14210v2/H14BM.
That’s awesome 🙌
Cuple of months ago you recommended me to get hbx 901a 👾 So i bought it and playing that rc without any issues.😎❤️ Thank you ❤❤

I have 3 of the 5 and you are spot on. Good vid
Thank you! The endless hours it takes me to put these top 10 vids together and hundreds of gigabytes of previous/new footage makes the yearly top 10 my most complex vid of the year haha so nice to know its worth it!
We tested the quantum 2 and it is amazing and durable 😀
It’s excellent 👌
Thanks for your information
That cf rlaarlo though right ? Working with a hbx 16890SA with the 2024 3700 but what does that even mean ? lol I like it a lot with a 4s in a parking lot and and a 3s too but that 4s battery scoots . Blows wheelies but it has to be throttled right . I m still getting used to it and forgot to order the charger for the 4s but got to experience it for a couple minutes and it was a huge difference . I wanted to see if the motor or anything would heat up but it was fine after 5 minutes of full throttle .
You’re 100% right about the senton better off getting the 3s version, I love mine had it since 2021
For sure it’s worth saving up extra for the blx as the upgrade path is more expensive in the long run
@@beyondRC it’s crazy that arrma ends up making more money off the 2wd brushed senton lol
Just ordered the hypergo 142100 shame it doesnt have the press 5times option on it because on full power it seems uncontrollable for everyone. Hopefully 2s +75% makes it managable.
how does the mjx truggy handle compared to a ftx tracer or a rlaarlo am-d12?
As it’s a bit heavier it does feel more planted on/off road. All three mentioned there are such good trucks it makes it so hard to decide!
If the Omni-Terminator (that I’m going to win) stayed at its current price what number would it be on the list?
It would have been pretty close to the top if it was staying at that price and was 1/10 scale. It’s a great truck but as mentioned in the video it’s an expensive “cheap” rc car! Rlaarlo if they are going to start charging premium prices then parts need to find their way into local stores before releasing any more cars.
@@beyondRC you’re definitely right… maybe Rlaarlo will wake up??
MJX 14209 should be no.1 - best car ever! 🎉
The diffs on the groms also don’t handle brushless
Ftx tracer❤❤❤ bought some tickets🤞
Good video and the link to serious rc is a winner did not know about them, looks like im of to get another MJX lol
They are really good and stock all the mjx bits so for us in the Uk that’s ideal and worth investing in MjX
Is there any current news about MJX coming out with a larger scale RC…1/12, 1/10 or 1/8 scale?
I like the list, and I’m glad you’ve decided to remove the less durable last-gen China platform wltoys/rlaarlo and stick pretty much exclusively to durable, lightweight cars. That’s really what makes a beginner rc car great.
Personally, I think that the HBX 16890SA should absolutely replace or be mentioned along the 16889a-pro as I can’t think of any points where the SA is weaker than the pro? It looks like the Pro has actually been replaced with the SA on the hbx Amazon store.
Wltoys are becoming Less and less relevant. Nothing new and increasing prices. People are sick of their recycled cars now. They are dying off as a viable brand now unfortunately and they have caused it themselves
16890sa not available in UK
Great list, got the two MJX 1/14s already, like the look of the 901A.
Just ordered an FTX DR8 as I fancied something bigger, still relevant in 2024?
100% relevant and one of the best ways into 1/8 scale 👍
A great list, bro! 👌
Cheers bro 👊
hmm, you did not mention the MJX 1/16 which is better or at least comparable to the hbx 1/16.
The 1/14 MJX is a bit more expensive.
Great list though, I would put out the GROM as it is not good value for money but put MJX 1/16 in.
I think 16 mjx is better to drive
One of my favourite cars is the mjx hyper go 14301. Parts are cheap and readily available. I don't understand why MJX did not do a 1/10 version of it. I heard something was in the pipeline, but the idea was dropped. I think it would have been epic. Perhaps it was some sort of legal issue regarding what it looks like?
No idea but they do have some large cars coming 😎👍
I have a few cheap cars and that mjx hyper go the number 1 is the worst outta the bunch I don't drive hard and everytime I take it out something breaks its fast but the durability isn't there all my arms been tearing were they connect to the body the only thing it has going is there is alot of parts u can get but other then that it hasn't been very good for me the rims cracked in the first week and wasn't even jumping it ... pretty much all my cheap cars break very quickly in my opinion unless it's a slow brushed car then it lasts... I moved to arrma see how they do that boost should be the number 1 it probably outlast all of these even after u put brushless in it......
Thanks I'm I'm order nr1 and 2 on your List.I can't wait to testing time.Maybe about couple of days the are her.Im sending you pictures when I get them Booth...Thank for telly great video,I se you now what your taking about
Mvh Kjetil From NORWAY Yes we love Rc Cars and everything the have fly drone båt
Car is my thing on Road or Offroad
New in drifting but it's Soo fun 😊🙏
No Blackzon Smyther turbo 3s?
Its a solid choice and based on the HBX 903 which i have tried in the past but just wasn't a fan. Nothing against the truck at all just not for me. 😎👍
As there similar price, the carbon terminator and the quantum 2
But you've picked the maverick higher than the rlarrlo, so out of the 2 which do you genuinely think is better?
Cheers mate
Edit to say, which one of the 2 I get will be getting the 100a esc from the maverick quantum flux plus in it, so I can program the breaks
Are the brakes locked on the ESC then same as with the Associated MT10?
@@Luke-en2tk
Yes I believe so
I'm not 100% sure, but I think they are
I'll be putting my 100a max 10 from the quantum flux plus in
@@VictoriaJones-gy8es ahh I wonder if a Razor RC type brake hack would work
@@VictoriaJones-gy8es i believe the esc in the quantum2 is the same 80a esc that is in the HPi Jumpshot Flux range. Those esc are programmable all be it with HPI's own prog box. Bit expensive though at around £40 for the box.
Both very solid trucks. The quantum 2 is a very good truck with lots of updates in the right places. The omni terminator whilst not as big is incredibly well built but the deciding factor is parts support. 2 weeks or more direct from rlaarlo or days with the maverick as they will be stocked at almost all hobby stores.
Thanks for the video
😎👌👍
Mjx hypergo makes the best rcs
Sweet video ❤
Please can you do a video on the team corally jambo please 🥺
I'm new to RC cars.
What's 2S and 3S?
czcams.com/video/Lk7wzVYmXSA/video.html
@@beyondRCGot it. Thanks. 👍🏻
Not sure why but in the USA the quantum 2flux is $100 more than the MT10. I want one but at that price the mt10 is a no-brainer
Ok the price has come down to $275 in the USA. Now making it a good competitor
Might just have to get one now
Not sure if the Rlaarlo Omni Terminator should be included. For the general public, it arrives march 18 at the earliest. So it's not a proven platform just because youtubers have access to it. Also where does the higher price come from? When i visit the Rlaarlo page i only see the 250, 200 and 180$ prices, can't see any other pricing🤷♂️
They're a bit all over the place with their advertising but I've also seen the markup price which will probably be after march 18 (launch)
Price is set to increase to 329.99 for the carbon version. The price you see at the moment is the presale price. They do this before the fully public release and allow people to essentially preorder at a much lower price increasing sales at the start before putting prices back up after launch.
That is some counterproductive marketing lol
@@0xpadx0 sure is and as mentioned in the video I think they should keep those prices but they won’t. I can’t see them selling many at 329 it’s simply too much for the size of car
Does the arma granite come with lithium Battery?
No depending on which mega boost you go for there is a RTR available but it comes with a nimh battery and basic smart USB charger.
I found the granite from which comes with with lipo battery and same scale same price
I got a Granite mate. It’s really good. I like for bashing it about on the street. Ive got a granite too; also very good.
*grom
Clicked expecting 80 pounds to be an option boy I was wrong 😂
I disagree H14BM does not belong at the top H16BM does...far better of a well rounded RC FYI I have both!
What's better about the H16BM?

Anyone from India?
Yes
I miss my hbx 901a was my first, i miss it so much. I have a wltoys 124017 I got recently. I like it, i do but its just not the hbx 901a imo. Do love it too tho. Also, just got a jjrq 130 its not a bad truck. Pretty decent bought it as a cheaper truck. I recommend swapping the tires and shocks.
I'm getting the hyper go h14bm very soon. Im hoping i like it the most. Considering its $200.
No Wltoys 🫣 scandalous 😅
