This is an awesome truck! It looks great drives nice and best of all, it can run on 4S Lipos if you can handle that kind of power. IMHO 3S is fast enough. What's even better is when Hyper Go made V2 of the truck, they made a kit you can buy to upgrade it yourself! That is sweet!. Once it's been upgraded it becomes even more stable and altogether more fun. But wait, not so fast.
There lies a potentially snag. If your truck is anything like mine, you won't have all that great of a time upgrading. I ran into two issues on mine. One for sure I have read about in other trucks as well. The main brace that runs the length of the truck is difficult, to say the least, in removing without breaking off the heads of the screws. In my case I also had a difficult time with the steering assy. not coming un screwed. (Note to Hyper Go: please add a steering assy. to the kit.) I wound up tearing one of the knuckles off taking it apart and I have aluminum tape holding it together. I just hope I can find a replacement. Lastly, is shipping, I ordered mine like on or near the first of Sept., 2024. It didn't arrive until almost Oct. But I got mine really cheap so it was worth the wait.

The kit itself is great however, taking the model apart is a whole different story. The first issue you will run into is the main brace the runs the length of the truck. When the manufacture put this together they used the wrong type of Loctite I think. Anyway, you will break off the ends of the cap screws getting it apart. I wish I could give you a tip on how to avoid this but so far I don't know of any, sorry. Everything came apart pretty easy, that is until I got to the steering assy. It seems any of the screws that thread into aluminum might have Loctite. I was able to get the right side unscrewed from the bottom but not the left. I had to drill the head down so the plastic frame would allow it to pull out and then I used pliers to slowly unthread it. Also the screw in the right side nut where the two join with the flat metal bar would not come loose. I wound up ripping the knuckle off to get it apart. I'm still looking for a replacement. I have it held together with aluminum tape (see pics below) but it's holding. Anyway that was my experience. I hope your's is better, Good Luck!

Looks like I'm amongst the first to get my hands on this new model, and I must say I have been pleasantly surprised at the bang for the buck this car offers.

Pros:
1. Great scale looks, including actual tinted windows. The car would look good sitting on a shelf as a scale model, and except for the badges looks like an accurate representation of a VW Polo. It even has a dashboard and a partial interior!

2. Body and chassis overall seem well made and doesn't have a cheap feel to it. For it's size if feels like it has some weight to it too.

3. Proportional steering and throttle.

4. AWD

5. HUGE battery compartment for the size of the car and battery.

6. Lights

7. Extra set of drift wheels/tires and hardware.

8. Controller feels great, has a foam wheel, easy to access steering knob one-handed.

9. Budget friendly! Only $35 USD!!!

10. Takes a panel liner well, and also agrees with Tamiya Extra Thin cement to help keep all the small parts on!

Cons: Only one real con in my opinion...

1. No suspension. Nothing... This of course limits where the car can be run, pretty much smooth and hard surfaces. Tile, a wood floor, cement garage, etc. Tarmac would be too rough for it. The again that's probably the reason this car only costs $35 USD.

Other notes:

1. Not particularly fast. For a small car running in a limited space like a living room or a kitchen, this is not a bad thing. The car comes with a single cell LiION battery, and I suspect that an upgrade to a true LiPo 1s battery will wake this model up!

2. No power switch on car. You plug in the battery and it's on.

3. Chassis is set up more like a grand touring car than an actual drift car. Meaning that the steering angle is more conventional, and again it's an actual AWD setup.

4. Needs decals! It's the little personal touch thing...

At the end of the day, it is what it is... This car is a VERY budget friendly, beginner friendly indoor racer meant to be run on only smooth surfaces. I'm looking at this car for it's own merits, not comparing it to other brands even though there is the obvious temptation to do so. Quality wise it's definitely better than toy grade and it looks like it could be modified somewhat, plus it doesn't feel cheap and flimsy like toy grade models usually do. At the same token the lack of a suspension is preventing me from calling it full-on hobby grade. Maybe I'm being too picky... I have to keep in mind what this car is and whom it's targeted for, and taken from that context it really is perfect! Personally I loved scale looks of the model and that's why I bought it. The fact that this car costs so little for what you get is what really makes it such a fantastic bargain!

Verdict: Recommended!

This is the perfect fix for my RC car. I like all the modifications done on the parts. This will make up for a better performance and durability to the car.

Nice quality,and durability.

The car controller and box is so cool well made the car itself is so good first few laps I was like wow this hard but bit of practice cars so sweet brass wheels all the extras it was free post to northern Ireland took around 2 weeks from date I bought it not bad few days dispatch then post general a happy buy definitely recommend this c65 only place had stock also 1000 where made

Everything is there, everything fits, only a few screws are of a different type than shown in the manual, but you quickly figure that out and then everything fits. The car becomes a fully-fledged V2 and drives significantly better. It would be nice if there were such kits from other manufacturers, if something was improved and then at such a cheap and fair price

I haven't tried it out yet because I'm not home, but based on different videos ive seen, im sure ill love it😎

This rc car is a good product and you should get it because is it a lot cheaper compared to the Arma big rock 3s.

A huge thank you to Makerfire for having this fantastic RC model! I’m so thrilled that it was available to ship to my area. I can’t wait to browse your website and order more RC goodies!
Muun RC is my YouTube channel, and I will be posting the unboxing and trailing video soon. Not able to post the YouTube URL. Thank you.

it was my first good purchase at makerfire. thank you.

Price performance product,buy without thinking

Very good price for truck and v2 kit. I do not mind performing the v2 kit install. Very nice kit. MJX is awesome! Fast delivery!

I bought this as a "keep around for kids trial machine" but was really quite impressed by the quality and the cute little winch (a good one actually). So having fun just testing it on basic terrain. For the price and excellent and attractive Jeep. Happy to have it in my collection.

Perfect, speed is very good and on off-road, it can be everywhere.
The batterey box is very long and can accept big capacitiy of 4s.
Sweet toy !
