Win an awesome RC Car Bundle (Ends Very Soon!): raffall.com/351351/enter-raffle-to-win-an-rc-monster-truck-bundle-hosted-by-phil-harrison

I like the fact that HPI reached out to you to correct a defective product.

Kudos to HPI for handling this the way they did.

Well done HPI for watching a decent RC channel. 😀👍 Customer service is always important and you did well. 😎

I saw the original comparison video, I thought it was very good. It's fantastic that huge RC manufacturers like HPI watch your videos and are prepared to get in touch with you to correct any faults or problems. Thanks for the update Phil, great video. 👍🏻

I do sometimes find myself getting unnecessarily irritated by some overtly expressive thumbnails so yours definitely made me smile. Kudos.

Well, I've got to say that it makes me happy to know that HPI is at least Paying Attention to review and comparison videos! That gotta count for something!

Your honesty is one of the reasons why I like your vids. Keep up the good work!

I thought it was very smart of HPI to contact you and send out a new motor. It was very nice of you to test it again.

Nice, new motor makes a huge difference. Nice to see HPI back with entry level RTR. Wish I had something like this when I started RC in 1984. My first rig was a Tamiya Hornet with the old silver can, FM radio and mechanical speed control. I remember you were doing well if your battery lasted 8 minutes.

Can’t help but think that anyone watching this now that happens to have one of the “duff motors” in theirs without even realising but thinking “THIS IS SLOW” is now going…OY HPI…you owe me a proper motor !!! 😂

I'm only looking at picking up an HPI because of your relatively positive reviews on the brand. Great to see them following up with fixes.

The Arrma George Costanza still would be the winner. That ST version of the HPI would be another pick. Nice work in going back and giving HPI another spin.

Thanks for the update on the HPI Jumpshot. It did seem a little slow from the original speed runs. Good on HPI for testing and changing out the motor. I'm sure the cynics amongst us would say HPI sent back a juiced-up motor??? Would be good to have people chime in with speed runs of their Jumpshots to confirm the new speeds are legit out of the box. That or maybe pick up another Jumpshot from a local hobby shop to test?? Can't wait for the incoming shootout vids of the Quantum 2 v Big Rock v MT10 v???

Thanks for making the effort to come back to us 👍

Excellent update. Its cool they took care of it. I dont always watch the videos, but when i do i watch all the way to the end and comment for the algorithm....lol. Thanks for doing giveaways, i hope it goes to people that want to get into the hobby.

Thats awesome. Glad they watched and fixed the issue. Hopefully the bad motor isn't a common issue.

Thumbs Up for the revisit video and Thumbs Up to HPI for recognizing an issue and fixing it. 👍 👍

I'm glad you're willing to revisit rc's that didn't do well in a review when a company says our product should do better. I don't like the lack of QC HPI seems to have with their budget rc cars. QC should be good across the board not just on $500 kits and above.

Fun fact - Stampede body fits the Jumpshot. I couldn't find a replacement body for my Jumpshot so I tried my Stampede body and it fit. Much cheaper and easier to find a Traxxas body here in Canada.

Well done to hpi for reaching out to you! I'm impressed. I used to be a huge fan of HPI, the old owners were flaky this lot game on 🙂

Good to see HPI cares about reviews!

My only issue with the motor you got is it was hand picked to be sent for you to try. Im sure it was tested and one of the best you could possibly get. Curious if any of the normal stock motors will have the same kind of performance. This is the same reason I don't like videos of products the manufacturer hand picks and sends for review. Good for you though giving them a second chance as it could have just been a fluke motor. . Either way great video and keep up the good work Phil.

I always liked the stock hpi brushed motor. Stock blitz was pretty quick with lots of grunt as well.

I think the HPI looks the best

I think that's pretty cool that they wanted to have a dialogue with you. Smart move I'd do that if my company.

My HPI has been a frustratingly good time. As a RC company they need to get relevant in the electric racing world. Make us a platform that can compete with Traxxas. All of the Jumpshot line struggles against their counterparts. They need to make a good halo platform that is adjustable and relevant to a few classes of racing.

Cool to see they sent a new motor. Would trust it more if you bought another random hpi truck off the shelf and it ran 23mph.

Phil is the RC Mushroom Man Pirate. He makes RC companies shiver in their timbers during reviews. lol

I can imagine the "shocked Pikachu" expressions at the HPI dealer's face when that slowness dropped.I'm still standing by my opinion on sealed can motors with fans in them. Be it Traxxas 20t Stinkers and 12t Tinderboxes or a myriad of noname Chinese units... Never had a Mabuchi or Johnson that's been more irritatingly slow than the other 🤭

Nothing but thorough!

hmmm the gorgon with the battery and charger is very good deal. And the mid mounted motor seems to help it handle and jump a little bit better.

I had the American body Jumpshot 2 and that was quick. Glad u found the issue with the motor. The was shocked at the first video being that slow.

Much happier now. I called the Jumpshot for the win 😊. Would Love to see a Tamiya for a monthly prize Phil.

I feel it was very smart of HPI to get that motor to you. 👍👌 Well done Phil. She really boogies on 3s now! 🤯😎👍

Question. Can you recommend a rc that's as good or better than the hyper go h14bm for the price or should I buy that one?

Hey, that's what came out of the box, that's on HPI to control their quality.

As a company HPI should the same quality standards across the board. Testing the motors before it leaves the factory.

"you have hours to win these RC cars" me watching this video 5 days later on a work trip

Another good video. Good on HPI for stepping up

Well done HPI. A company that pays attention to the consumers is a rare thing these days...

Not seen it yet but what gps unit are you using plse?

Hi mate , just wondering what 3s lipo you run to get it to fit in the battery tray ? Many thanks 💪🏽

Hey Tomley have you considered doing another rc race vid or looking for a new club? (love the videos!)

I can’t wait till the new videos!😊😊😊

I am happy to that Hpi is listening

On par with the others related to the speed but way more snazzy!😊

I started with an HBX. Wanted more, bought a rustler VXL and.... it's fine but it just didn't do it for me. It's controlled, neat, predictable and fast, it's easy. Bought a Jumpshot MT Flux and i was just an HPI nut at that point. Now that they are doing this it just makes me love HPI more. The HPI tires aren't very good in wet conditions though and i seem to break all HPI servo's within days. But it's fun as can be those jumpshots.

i don't know if the tail wind you had on the original speed test would have given it 1 mph to make it level with the other two but i remeber you comenting on it being strong. that said at 23 it is still 1 mph slower than the other two so i don't think performance or speed scores can really be changed but the VFM would have definatly changed and swapped places with the arrma which would have had both on 13 points.

Chinese sealed tin motors are extremely hit and miss across the board, when the Traxxas 12T 550 first came out many of the motors overheated and crapped themselves with the standard gearing. Sometimes they were gutless from the start and other times you would get 2-3 trouble free runs before they started slow leaking the magic smoke, overall around 50% of them were unsatisfactory, I believe the main issue was weak brush spring(s).

Hi just found yr channel it’s fab,though new to this could you please do a lingo video explain g what’s what?also as said new was looking at the bandit or ms10,are these the same models as advertised on Ali express as they seem so cheap as said great channel

Honesty and facts. I like it.

I don't know how i feel about hpi now. you gave them an honest review, some people didn't know about hpi until they saw that video. I'll put them on the shelf with traxxas HAHA. sounds like they have quality control issues. How much of a headache would it be for them to send a new motor to a regular customer that's not posting videos? At the end of the day it's a 2S beginner truck.

Well of course it would have changed the points because it would have been able to perform just as good if not better than the other ones because it would have had the right power system

There have been 1:1 monster trucks with 2wd, interestingly enough they still have 66" tires.

So, all these so-called "12 Turn" RTR motors are really just the exact same motor, the Johnson RS550. Thing is, there's two versions of this motor, and the 12 Turn ones are the 6v rated ones while the old "Titan 550" motors that Traxxas used to have in the E-MAXX were the 12v ones. Thing is, there's no real way to tell which is which outside of testing, as the 6v ones are significantly faster but somewhat less torquey than the 12v ones. So it's possible that HPI might have gotten a 12v motor in one of their shipments rather than a 6v one, and accidentally put it in your Jumpshot MT. I use the 12v motors in my 12lb combat robot, they're REALLY powerful but you need to run them at higher voltages to get any sort of speed out of them. Kernel Panic runs four of them on 4S through 16:1 planetary gearboxes and hits around 15-16mph, which is blisteringly fast for a 12lb combat robot. They actually don't run that hot, even though in robot combat they spend a lot of time with a lot more load on them, constantly accelerating and decelerating and often slipping and/or stalling, not to mention the interior of a combat robot is typically enclosed and not good for heat dissipation. As a side note, this means that any brushed RTRs are going to perform very similarly, with their speed being determined solely by weight and gearing.

That went a lot better with a properly working motor in it. That is the standard motor HPI puts in their trucks right? Actually, you should have feigned offense and said the only way HPI could fix it would be by sending you a 5b Flux kit.

The Original HPI from the 90's was great, the new HPI is not good with the exception of the BAJA 5b but only because its the original 5B re-release.

Would that have made a difference in the winner? I think so but still being the fact that it had the quality out of the box makes me wonder how many other trucks had that problem?

Good on HPI for coming through on this one, I wonder if they read the comment as well as watching the videos. Looks ike a good performer now that's for sure 1mph is nothing in difference anyway.😊😊😊😊.

nice to see it was not running at its best and that has been put right

Nice of them to give you a hot motor when they were embarrassed so bad.

hmmm 🤔 13.5 turn brushless on 2s might be a good upgrade if the speed would be the same

I wonder if they bench tested a bunch and sent you the best one they had, or modified it slightly. Would have been a fairer test if you has gone and brought a new replacement spare motor from a shop.

Last

The trucks speed would change depending tire as well. It looks to have the smallest tires

Thanks for revisiting it, Phil! 😃 Now it's a pretty darn cool truck! Anyway, stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊

I haven't owned an HPI since their nitro Rush. I'd buy their RC's, especially their road cars, but I dont invest in anything brushed. I mean damn, re-release one of your older RS4's, I'd preorder, and i dont believe in preordering anything.

Clicked cause of the thumbail! lol

Oh man that black rock for the Feb raffle! Please sweet baby jesus let me win that as thes the rig ive wanted for a long time. 1 ticket and a dream baby!

KT does plenty of videos upping the voltage on vehicles and they become uncontrollable. It's like back in the 60's when guys would supercharge corvettes etc and it wouldn't make them any faster because they'd run them on stock tires....I read an article on a guy who wanted a 64 couple to look stock but he got 900 hp. He could be beat by a kid on a moped because he had to feather the throttle otherwise he'd melt the tires. When you up the voltage I think you have to adjust the gearing up and that would give you a higher top end plus be more controllable.

Why didn't you post this on the main channel

I wondered about the motor myself.

Hmmmm... I wonder if you should by a new off the shelf 12T and see if it does the same speed.

The inner conspiracist in me wonders…did they send you a stock motor?

Well that certainly changes things doesn't it.! 😉

Thumbs up to HPI.

For the price ya may as well chuck a max 10 ezrun into it running 3s..just saying

Love ur videos

Do you think they gave you a hot motor knowing you would make a video about it?

Great video

So, what I've gleamed from this video is, hpi could well be faulty out of the box 🤔😕😔😖

Can you please compare the fms fcx24 stock vs scx24 stock

3 to 2 for speed and same for performance it would have tied with the stampede

It's still a 2 wheel drive brushed at the end of the day, not very excitng.

Nice 👍🏾

Yes i smoked 3 motors in summer on 3s😢

Boom🎉

Keep in mind working with corporations that everyone gets fired sooner rather than later u just have to go somewhere else

HPI jumpshot SC Flux with a Traxxas Rally body 55 mph stock on 3s 😁

Hmmm , bit embarrassing for a company that's trying to reboot itself and be taken more seriously in the modern RC market . Says a bit about QC if they can't even make sure a review unit is right before sending it out. What chance have us punters got ?

I've been using attention seeking thumbnails recently. Sadly my content doesn't live up to them. 😆

Saludos Mr Tomley muy buenas tardes , la solucion es un motor mas potente

Anyone in America able to enter the raffle?

Jumpshots are normally better than that

Please pick me for the compition

Gorgon 🏆

Don't enter the raffle of you want a Stinger, I'll be winning that!

Every KZfaq video now has over 5 minutes of ads before you can see if you want to watch the video then you get 1:30 before another 2 minutes of ads. Sorry I cant watch your video or anybody elses. I dont get it? are they trying to kill themselves? What is going on here?

i like your vids the way you showcase you rc,how to have fun and not completly destroy the rc is why i unsubed Kevin talbot
