Any gamers already got the MJX Hyper Go 14211 RC car?
I’m just a week after receiving my MJX Hyper Go 14211 RC car, so I’ll give you all a taste of what I’ve been doing with this RC car!

Okay folks, let’s get right to the point. When I heard that MJX was releasing the MJX Hyper Go 14211 (a 1/14 scale drift RC car with a full metal interior for under $200), I was both excited and skeptical. Can an affordable RC drift car really compete with other RC cars? After playing with it for a week, I decided that the car was worth the price of admission for many gamers!
What were my first impressions of the MJX Hyper Go 14211 RC car out of the box?
Right out of the box, I was very impressed with the color of the MJX Hyper Go 14211 RC. The chassis is made of a metal chassis for durability, and the metal parts (gears, drive shafts, CVD) give off a metallic luster that is quite different from other plastic competitors.
The included T3D transmitter is ergonomic and takes only 10 minutes to install.
But what’s the real star of the show, the 2852 brushless motor with E45P brushless ESC. This combination is ridiculously powerful for a 1/14 scale race car. More on that later.
Why was I so surprised by the MJX Hyper Go 14211 RC Car?
All-Metal: Built for the Worst Crashes: All RC cars with plastic drive components are a cost saver, but an Achilles heel. the MJX Hyper Go 14211 is designed with an all-metal design to survive the worst of crashes.
Metal Gear Servo: No more gears coming off during drifting, I am very happy and finally a solution to my longtime annoyance as well.
Steel driveshaft and CVD: Zero power flex, zero dogbone breakage. Perfect for hard throttle impacts.
Metal Oil Filled Shocks: Smooth damping, no leaks, adjustable preload for drift angle.
Metal Differential: Say goodbye to “diff explosions.” This sealed unit handles brushless power without breaking a sweat.
Why is MJX Hyper Go 14211 RC car called an economy drift car?
With a 2S 3000mAh battery, the MJX Hyper Go 14211 can reach speeds of about 45 km/h, which is very fast when drifting in parking lots. The brushless system provides instant throttle response, while the ESC’s heat management keeps the temperature low during races.
Want more speed? Load up a 3S battery (if you want to buy a 3s battery, you can motor it here) and let it race. Don’t blame me when you chase it down the street.
What parts in the MJX Hyper Go 14211 RC car help add smoothness to its drifts?
The adjustable suspension and low-center gravity design make it a drift machine. The rear wheels lock up predictably, and the front end grips just enough to keep you in control. The T3D transmitter even lets you tweak steering sensitivity on the fly, its a rare feature at this price.
FAQ:
Then there will be many players here who think metal parts = heavy. Will it drift sluggishly?
Surprisingly, no! The weight distribution is just right. The metal parts add durability without reducing flexibility. Plus, the torque of the brushless motor makes up for the extra weight.
Can MJX Hyper Go 14211 RC car be driven on asphalt and concrete roads?
Of course it can. The stock glossy tires grip well on smooth surfaces, while the oil shocks absorb bumps well. For driving on rough roads, you can switch to tires with more grip (aftermarket support is very reliable).
What’s the catch? There’s gotta be a catch.
Two minor gripes:
Battery Life: The 2S 3000mAh gives about 15 minutes of hard drifting. Buy an extra battery.
Stock Tires: They’re decent, but upgrade to high-angle drift tires if you want smoke-show slides.
