MJX HYPER GO 43308 1/43 Rally RC Racing Car RTR for Kid
The MJX HYPER GO 43308 RC Car comes from the factory with two sets of tires: a set of drift tires for controlled slides and a set of racing tires for higher grip. The tire diameter is 15.9mm, the track width is 39.8mm, and combined with independent suspension and metal ball bearings, it delivers precise and smooth handling.
1. Differences Between the Two Tire Sets
The MJX HYPER GO 43308 RC Car ships with two sets of tires for different purposes, which is quite generous for a 1/43 micro car:
- Drift Tires: A harder compound with lower grip, suited to controlled slides and drifting on smooth, flat surfaces.
- Racing Tires: A rubber compound with stronger grip, suited to speed runs and sporty driving.
Swap them anytime based on your driving style and surface, and the handling characteristics of this little car change noticeably.
2. Wheel Specs and Structure
Despite its 1/43 micro scale, the wheels on this MJX HYPER GO 43308 RC Car are no slouch. The tire diameter is 15.9mm and the front/rear track width is 39.8mm. Inside the wheels are 6 x XR168ZZ and 4 x XM74ZZ metal ball bearings, which are much smoother than the bushings used on many entry-level micro cars and effectively reduce rolling resistance. Combined with the vehicle's independent suspension, they help maintain good ground contact through corners and lane changes.
3. Replacement and Maintenance Notes
When changing tires on the MJX HYPER GO 43308 RC Car, start by removing the body via the magnetic quick-release mounts. Since the wheelbase (61mm) is adjustable, be careful not to change the original wheelbase position when removing wheels or changing chassis settings.
-
Cleaning: Micro car tires have shallow tread patterns. After running on dusty surfaces, use a soft brush to clear hair and dust from the tire surface and bearings to prevent increased resistance.
-
Bearing check: If a wheel feels stiff to turn or makes noise, sand may have gotten into the bearing. Remove it to clean, or add a small drop of bearing oil.
4. FAQ
Can I install other tires on the MJX HYPER GO 43308 RC Car?
The two sets included from the factory already cover both drifting and racing needs. If you want to install third-party tires, pay attention to matching the tire diameter and track width. Because 1/43 scale parts are so small, there aren't many compatible third-party tires on the market, so it's best to prioritize original factory parts.
How do I choose between drift tires and racing tires for the MJX HYPER GO 43308 RC Car?
On tile, wood flooring, or smooth hard surfaces, drift tires make sliding easy; on outdoor asphalt or higher-grip surfaces, racing tires let the car run more stably and faster.
5. Conclusion
The wheel setup on the MJX HYPER GO 43308 RC Car is generous for its class. Two sets of tires come straight from the factory (drift + racing), plus metal bearings and independent suspension, letting players experience two different styles of driving right out of the box. In daily use, keep the tire surfaces and bearings clean, and if you notice severe wear, simply replace them with original factory tires.
