Unboxing the MJX Hyper Go 14210 V3
Unboxing the MJX 14210 is an experience itself. It's surprising how the contents can fit in such a compact box. The packaging used is sturdy, ensuring the car and its components remain intact during delivery.
Upon opening the box, you're greeted with an organized layout, making it easy to check that all parts are present.
Here's what you will find in the box:
  • MJX Hyper Go 14210 RC Truck
  • Remote control
  • Battery and a matching USB charger (either 2S or 3S LiPo battery)
  • Instruction manual
  • Tool wrench and alen (hex) keys
  • Wheelie bar
  • Extra body shell and wing/spoiler
  • Extra set of wheels (paddle tyres)
  • Spare parts (front suspension arms)
Each item is securely packaged to prevent any damage during transit. It should be noted that the inclusion of essential tools and spare parts is not the norm with RC cars, instead it’s a thoughtful touch by MJX proving helpful with basic maintenance and repairs.
Appearance and Style
The MJX Hyper Go 14210 boasts a sleek, modern design that captures attention instantly. With a fairly low profile and wide stance, the 14210 has a naturally aggressive look to it. A nice touch is that MJX include two body shells in the box; a bright gold shell and stealthy black shell. It’s difficult to determine which colour shell looks best; the gold really pops but the black does look smart in contrast to the wheels.picture of the MJX 14210 Truck
From the rear of the MJX 14210 we see the the wing and wheelie bar. The wheelie bar is included in the box but is an optional install. In our experience it's absolutely essential to fit the wheelie bar (an easy 30 second install), if you want to stop the truck back-flipping.
Design and Build Quality
A black anodized 3mm alloy chassis is the foundation of the 14210. Metal is an interesting choice for the chassis material since all other MJX vehicles, like the 10208 and 16208 series feature a plastic honeycomb style chassis. Each material has it's pro's and con's, with metal often being seen as the more sturdier and longer lasting material with the added benefit of not flexing under load.
Since the release of the version 3 MJX 14210, all hardware has been changed over to the hex variety. This is a welcome change from previous Philips type. This includes the hex variety being used for all under-chassis screws, which are also countersunk into the chassis to not catch on anything whilst moving.
Throughout the 14210, high-quality plastics are used with a good balance of flexibility and strength. Although not unbreakable, plastic parts should be better placed to withstand impacts with view that the part will bend, or flex rather than snap.
A large red support brace is installed centrally to minimise play and support the front and rear shock towers. This central brace is key to providing a stable platform and really noticeable with the way the MJX 14210 handles landings from jumps.
As with all MJX models, quality drive chain components are used throughout. The front CVD style drive shafts are chunky and resemble something usually found on larger scale trucks. This heavy duty approach is typical MJX, aimed at making the truck durable from the get-go without the need to upgrade anything.
Industry standard 12MM hex adaptors are also utilised which supports a wide choice of aftermarket wheels. 
At the rear, the MJX 14210 incorporates telescopic CVD style drive shafts. These telescopic drive shafts are unique and not something commonly seen. They were introduced as part of the updated V2 model back in 2023. Again, aligning with MJXs approach of being tough and durable, these telescopic CVD shafts are very chunky and made from quality steel. Each body shell is reinforced with protective side plates on the roof, which provide vital protection against inevitable impacts. Body shell fitment on the truck is snug - the shell has a tight fit on the body posts with no noticeable movement or rattle.
The pre-installed tyres on the MJX 14210 are of an excellent quality. A soft to medium rubber compound is used with a deep tread pattern, resulting in a very, very grippy tyre. The MJX Hyper Go 14210 features a highly responsive suspension setup. The oil-filled shock absorbers play a crucial role in enhancing handling and stability by absorbing shocks effectively. This allows the truck to maintain control over various terrains.
The four shock absorbers are pre-filled with oil and incorporate adjustable collars to increase/decrease spring tension. The shock absorbers are alloy capped but do have a plastic body. Overall, they operate well and provide decent dampening performance. Even after numerous jumps and rough landings, they remain intact and reliable.
Motor and ESC
The MJX 14210 is an absolute powerhouse for it's size, partly due to it's slightly oversized motor and high power electronics. The motor installed is a 2582 size 4400kv brushless motor, a motor not regularly seen on models of this size. This motor delivers impressive torque and feels well-balanced with the factory fitted 45 amp electronic speed controller (ESC). The 4400kv motor speed is well suited to the 14210 and delivers impressive top speed numbers. We've recorded 47 MPH on 3S 11.1V batteries and 36 MPH on 2S 7.4v. The motor is finished with a heat sink and integrated cooling fan to aid temperature management.
The ESC (model E45AZ) supports both 2S 7.4V and 3S 11.1V batteries.  Although the 14210 is better suited to running 2S batteries (more on that later), it has no trouble running 3S technically and maintains tolerable operating temperatures with no signs of cogging. Like the motor, a cooling fan is installed on the top of the ESC.
One thing we would like to see with the factory fitted MJX 14210 ESC would be the ability to program it. Being able to calibrate the throttle punch, adjust the LiPo cut-off voltage like we can with the 10208 bluetooth app would be a very helpful feature. Perhaps this will be something MJX introduce with the inevitable V4?
Radio Equipment
The radio gear included with the MJX 14210 is standard-issue MJX T3B controller and R30 receiver. This controller and receiver combination is MJX's preferred package and is deployed across most of their model range including the 10208, 14301 and 16208.
The T3B model controller is a functional, responsive and reliable device with decent range, but lacks advanced settings that some more experienced users may want. The controller provides 3 channels (throttle, steering and lights on/off) and has two adjustable trims (throttle trim and steering trim).The on/off power switch serves as a speed-limiter, enabling the 14210 to be restricted down to 70% power with a partial slide of the power switch. This level of functionality is likely OK for most users, but experienced drivers may prefer installing their own radio equipment for greater customisation.
