HYPER GO H12Y 1 12 Brushless 4X4 RC Rock Crawlers for Adults Metal Case Waterproof 4WD Off-Road RC

The media could not be loaded. My son convinced me to buy a RC Crawler and I can honestly say I am very impressed with this 1/12 RC Crawler. Pros: -The 1/12 scale makes it so you can really appreciate the details Hyper Go put into the design of this crawler. I love that the body is all metal. This vehicle has some heft to it. My son geeked out when we pulled it out of the box and was so excited that it looked just like the jeeps we saw in Moab Utah. -Includes 2 s2 2000 MAH batteries which is more than enough for this type of car. Battery life anxiety isn't something you'll need to worry about with this car. The charger it came with worked great. -The remote has a ton of useful adjustability features. Steer Trim, Throttle Trim, Steer Dual Rate adjustment, Throttle Dual Rate adjustment. The Steer D/R is very useful because it lets you control how much your front wheels are able to turn. Throttle D/R allows you to control how much power output from 30%-100%. This is nice because it allows you to lower the power when crawling up steep obstacles. But also allows you to go to 100% if you want to drive it to the next obstacle. This car is fast enough it is entertaining and yet slow and torquey enough that it crawls very well. -The lights on this thing are such a great small touch. Looks really cool as you drive it in the dark. Cons: Nothing really stands out as being necessarily bad about this RC Crawler. Maybe that it can get a little squirrely when you have it turned up to full speed and the steering D/R is set to full range. But given that it's a crawler and the suspension is designed different than our bashers so we found we just had to be a little bit more careful with our turns as it can be a bit twitchy. We found adjust the steering D/R to be a little less range helped solve this issue. But I think that is more driver error vs vehicle error and us being used to the wide stance of the basher vehicles and not being used to the handling of the crawler yet. A couple thoughts on things I'd like to see in the future. Currently there is a winch offered by Hyper Go on Amazon, which is reasonably priced, and actually really cool. I need to look into getting one of those. But I'd like to see a few more accessories and upgrades offered on Amazon. Being that it is such a new model for Hyper Go in the US, I am sure we will see more upgrades to come offered on Amazon soon. Brass upgrades and other accessories are available if you Google search for them. Mostly offered on Aliexpress and other similar sites. I brought my crawler into work today and a few of my coworkers had their, 1/18 and 1/24 scale crawlers with them and their crawlers were decked out with brass parts. They said the brass parts help with lowering the center of gravity and keeping the front end planted on steeper climbs. I'd like to see a couple more tire options, with a bit softer rubber compound, and maybe even a bit wider. This could allow the crawler to have a better foot print to mimic "airing down" your tires in your real full sized jeeps. I can see how customizing your crawler can quickly become an addiction. Maybe some other body styles you can buy for it as well would be cool. Over all I would highly recommend this 1/12 RC truck. A lot of attention to detail went into making it and the craftsmanship defiantly shows. This car has been fun for my sons who are 8 and 11 years old, as well as fun for me and my co-workers that are all 30's and mid 40's. They all commented on how cool it looked and how much fun it was to drive. I am happy with my purchase and look forward to driving this more with my boys and co-workers. Read more

This JEEP Crawler performs as expected; power 4x4 independent axel action to navigate challenging rough terrain, variable crawl to high speed controls, three light settings, and a real operating wench. Basic out of the box black allows owner to customize. Great investment and entertainment! Read more

This thing is built like a tank, impressive quality and heavy with a lot of metal parts including the body which is a first. That’s also what makes it 4 stars, it has a high Center of gravity and a short wheelbase so it flips over pretty easily when trying to climb up things, it doesn’t harm it one bit since it’s built like a tank but it’s not really anything I would consider a true rock crawler. Maybe some different tires/wheels could help it out I haven’t looked into it yet. The sensorless brushless motor doesn’t cog very much at all it’s pretty awesome really. The lights are fun (turn signals come on when you turn the wheel either direction). I’ve seen videos of guys online fully submerging it which I wouldn’t do, but it’s nice to know it can handle it if needed. I don’t think it’s compatible with 3S LiPo batteries, the included ones are High quality but the charger is very slow. I love the deans plugs being stock that’s a nice touch over some molex ones on cheaper models. Read more

Great 1st RC truck for my 10 and 11 year olds. Fast enough to have fun on flat surfaces, and great torque for climbing hills and obstacles. We're new to the RC world, but this seems to be a great intro for my kids. Read more

Muy contento, el carro se ve muy bien hecho y trate todo lo necesario si se le quiere agregar o cambiar partes. Read more

Issue #1: The truck is explicitly labeled as waterproof, however the very first time I drive it across a creek, not even halfway submerged it started spazzing out until I let it dry overnight. Issue #2: Not even a week after getting it the motor started cogging really bad, so I ordered a replacement.. Not even a day later I ran into my next issue. Issue #3: This is the second MJX HyperGo branded vehicle that I've bought and had for less than a month where the pinion gear completely strips out. Fine, whatever, I'll just buy a new gear.. Only to find out that the screws that hold the axle to the pinon are completely seized. I tried heat and PB blaster but eventually the Allen heads just rounded out on both. I tried drilling them out but after 45 minutes of getting nowhere with that, I gave up and opened a return. In their defense, I did really like the truck. The body and suspension was good but everything else gave me issues. And for nearly $250, I shouldn't have this many problems in less than a month. MJX won't burn me again because this is the last time I buy one of these trash products. Read more

The media could not be loaded. I was looking for an RC truck that would run on my Zoysa grass that is cut at a 3" depth. The H12Y was the only RC vehicle that I found which could handle it. The H12Y is very impressive, it's well designed and all parts are replaceable and weighs 5.2 lbs. I was also impressed that the winch (this is an option) was able to lift the truck off the ground. I included a picture of my lawn where I run the truck. Read more
