Hyper Go Hypergo MJX Hosim RC GPS Adventure

Wowee Wow Wow!!! What an adventure! So if you haven’t seen it this is the Hosim Hyper Go. It is, for whatever reason, one of these hot products that people just gotta have. And so, in true RC VIKING ADDICT fashion I too had to have an MJX Hyper Go. What a disaster. First car, bad ESC, no return option because AliExpress took so long to get it to me and for me to unbox it. But shoot…Surely Amazon’s new MJX Hyper Go would be a better offering right?! Nope! Garbage! So, with two failures from this company under my belt I went after it one last time with the Hosim Hyper Go Mini Basher! And YES! A WINNNER!
Now if you’re wondering why after two fails I’d even attempt a third try it has everything to do with the reviews. Surely over 1000 reviews on the Hosim product couldn’t be faked. And they weren’t. It was awesome and I’m over the moon with this little guy. Hosim put forth the only solid Hyper Go I’ve seen yet. Which worries me because I have their buggy on the way to me now. And brushless. But why the Hyper Go in the first place?
Well Bugs. Yeah. A drone called Bugs. So probably about 7…maybe 8…wow…years ago I got this unbelievable Bugs drone. Wicked fast and highly maneuverable. Anyway so when the same company came out with this little car/truck I figured I’d give it a Hyper Go go. Enough Dad puns?
And man. The first two failed miserably. But the third was a blast.
DISCLAIMER – NO. I HAVE NO IDEA WHY A CAR THIS SLOW GETS A GPS. But, upon investigating how many iterations of the car there actually are out there I expect you’ll see a gps in a brushless version soon once they’ve worked out the kinks. And, if you’re like me you might try to hotwire their gps and app into another car so you can use their app just to track some speed so you won’t have completely wasted your money. But Hosim, well they can take my money. Happily.
I plan on getting their upgrades and maybe even a second car to race with my son with a couple 3s batteries they offer in the near future now that I’m invested.
But I can’t stress this enough. If you want to try this get the Hosim one. Here it is…

NOTE – I AM NOT ENDORSED BY ANY MANUFACTURER! I CALL IT LIKE I SEE IT! If I were to receive something from a company you’d still get an honest
reaction. I love RC and hope to attract as many people to the hobby as I can. Wouldn’t be doing anyone any favors if I endorsed junk. (watch my Remoking Thunder or HPI King Crawler if ya want the proof!)

Hey red Viking, got my GPS up and running.thks. Vegas Paul here.😊 It's all good!

I think I got something in-between what you got. I got mine on Amazon, GPS works great, I have to hold the light button while turning it on, 3 outlets on the ESC , it’s fast, I got the bag of extra parts, I got the phone holder, that’s all I can remember that you mentioned. I’m happy.

That's mine, the one that goes backwards faster than foreword!😊

I bought this for my brother for Christmas which is his first real r/c car. He absolutely loves it. He had it out in a parking lot doing wheelies and doughnuts. Said it reminded him of my traxxas stampede with the son of a digger body.

Sorry I had bad luck but the brushless hyper go rcs I have are freaking amazing
-
😆 LOL, I was enjoying the video until one of the wheels fell off. Haha. By the way, cool GPS app. 😊👍🏼

You were the first person and the only person that I know this happened to. Hyper go MJX is a very very good model I have six of them and have no issues at all with any of them and I bash him flip them send them .So I don't know what happened. You got very unlucky there.They are faster than most 16th scales out there. Good luck in the future.😮

Great Vid! I have a bunch of the big name RC's and usually reserve the cheaper rc's for my kids but Red Viking is on point!! I got one of these hyper go's for my kids and it was so awesome I had get one for myself! Now we get out and bash the crap out of each other! And now it's a fair fight! My kids not so happy with me when my 1/8 scales trounce his 1/16th! LOL! Great reviews Red!

Hey folks, if you're reading this you'll see a second video that came out a month later for the MJX Hypergo Brushless without GPS. Since then MJX has released a new GPS model that looks like it has solid reviews. I believe it is the H16GT and looks to be a better design. But even better news is that MJX is selling their GPS seperate with a receiver! That would be terrific to put in other cars. The app was great. Subscribe if you're interested in seeing me do the newer GPS and Brushless and adding a GPS to a different brand car! Thanks for your continued support with a special thank you to our last commentor! @Benjamin Rau

Oh boy, this video is one of it's own! ^^ If I would be into bashing i would have strong mixed feelings about this company/car! 😀

Hey buddy great review! Just ordered one for $90 bucks on Amazon. Always wanted one but didn't want one at $130-$140. I was curious you mentioned the launch button on the remote? What does that do? Edit you answered it later on...It launches it lol
-
Hmmmm, my HYPER GO H16BM did 19mph(70%) 26mph(100%) what's strange though is I Wore out the original rear tires ordered replacements from Amazon and they had the Green Rim...........interesting 🙂👊👍✌️🦅🇺🇸

Thks for the tips, still need to learn gps.downloaded code but not sure what up?
-
I just received my Amewi Hyper Go from Amazon and it looks like what i expected (from the MJX Hyper Go) but not like what you are showcasing here. Whats shown on the video looks like the first version of Hyper Go, while the second (current) version of Hyper Go has 5 connectors on ESC and more metal stabilizers.
-
Hey red Viking, switch ed wires on esc, flipped switchs on transmitter and I'm cool 😊 thks pm out.
-
Hey, Vegas Paul here, can you send a video of the gps install.ive downloaded the q2, code, but I'm stuck tried to scan code but don't know what to do with it?
-
For this Christmas I bought this car,the hipper go, I loved it, it's very fast, very fun, but the battery only lasts 8 to 10 minutes... is it normal?
-
1st one I've heard who has a problem with hyper go. Very unlucky for you sir. Because my hyper go cars all work perfectly and go over 40mph.. plus , everyone online are going nuts over them.. I think maybe your supplier must be sending you dud units 🤷🤷 Ali express all day long every day for me.. never had an issue..I buy all the upgrade parts as well and make my cars even faster and even sexier 😁😁

I completly agree with you. Hosim over all are better than MJX. I have 2 1/16 scales from MJX one brushed green one you have and one brushless monster truck . Straight up junk . The green one motor gets really hot and the brushless one has issues with rear end both shafts clipping the spring when the truck moves. Hosim on the other end has way better quality control. i bought the same one you have , and its amazing, both looks wise and quality wise , and then I bought Hosim Q905 brushless from amazon and that truggy is tough and well built . The motor is the smoothest brushless motor that I have ever driven along with a truck that handles like a dream. Try to review a Hosim Q905 and I guarantee you won't be dissapointed.

I’m trying to pick out a R/C car for my nephew and I was wondering if I should go with this exact truck from Hosim or the Laegendary Legend ? The Legend is on sale for $76.00 on Amazon and the Hosim is $60.00 and he new to the hobby.
