Hello everyone!

[Santec50]

I'm new here i want to start this hobby. And i have a few question.
1 is mjx a good and relieable brand?
My budget is about 100 dollars, currently I'm looking at the mjx hyper go 16208 and the 16210.

Hi! You want to get started so much that you opened 2 intros?!
No biggie!
WELCOME TO RCTALK.COM!!!
Its good to have you here!
MJX isn't a top tier r/c brand that you're likely to see on a track.
I wouldn't expect that it can take 'full sends' off a giant skate ramp either.
I do think that for a $100 budget, your choice is a 'better' of that quality model.
I have heard a few ppl say that they've enjoyed running the hyper-go. I don't own one so its hear-say.
Parts availability is always a factor. Find out if ppl ACTUALLY get them when they order them pn line. Check reviews!
What I do speak from personal experience with...
For $50 (ish?) more, buy an Arrma Gorgon!!!
Its a WAY better truck and parts are EVERYWHERE!
I belive the Arrma Fury is the same chassis and another to check out!
I'm not an Arrma fan boi by any means... but my Gorgon is a GREAT truck and its the closest thing to your price range that I personally have run.
It you like monster trucks, like how they run and trick on tv, you'll like this truck too. I like mine so much that I haven't installed the hop up parts that I have for it!
I recommend saving a little more and buying a better r/c to start from.
You'll be happier I think!
Merry Christmas!!!

Thread 'Hyper go H16PL - spare parts'

Apr 29, 2024

I bought two of H16PL cars for my kids last week. A few parts have broken already and I've been looking to get replacement parts. I see in the manual the individual part numbers, but I haven't been able to find a kit that specifically say for 'H16PL'. Has anyone ordered parts for this car specifically? Would something like the link below fit? It states it's for "MJX 16207 16208 16209 16210 H16" Do all 'H16' parts fit all models that start with H16? I'm just trying to avoid buying parts, waiting 2-3 weeks, only to find out they don't fit. Thanks in advance...

I'll second the opinion for the Arrma Gorgon. I don't know about availability in Hungary though.

PLEASE verify parts availability, no matter what you buy!
It doesn't matter how cool or fast it is if its broken!!!
I know NOTHING about Hungary r/c but I hope you'll tell us more about what's popular for brands!!!

Hi i was pretty lost at first on the website so i accidentally made 2 intros.
I searched up your arrma Gorgon(its 170$) sadly i can't order to Hungary.
i Searched on Ali and Banggood but i can't find them.
Let me know if you know is there any other way to order it.
Thanks for the replys and Merry Christmas!

Horizon Hobby is a distibutor here locally.
Are there any local hobby shops near you at all?
What brands do they carry?
Could you post links to your local store?

https://www.der-schweighofer.hu/Termekek/Autok/Markak/
this is the best web that i could find.

that closest shop is pretty far from me but i can post the link here:
https://www.rcklub.eu/

Ok, thanks for posting!
I didn't have much luck navigating the first site but it did have Horizon Hobbies listed on it.
Horizon Hobbies is a distributor for the Arrma Gorgon.

I was unable to translate the pages so I can only recommend doing some more research.
Perhaps try to contact the 1st site and ask them directly about Arrma brand R/C and if they distribute or sell the products and parts locally.
If there are no Arrma availible, my next question would be, "Which lines do you carry and offer parts support for locally?"
I saw Traxxas listed as well. They make good r/c's with excellent parts support here in US as well.
Traxxas is worth pursuing if they are availible near you too.

Is the second site an actual store that you could shop at or is it online only shopping? It looks like they carry mostly Abisma and Hyper go.
If this is your only local hobby shop and is one you can shop in, this may be your best option as well.

If you can order parts online, even if it takes a few days, its not terrible delay.
When you have to wait 6-8 weeks each time you break a part, I'm afraid your r/c would not be fun.
