Hey! Welcome to Stu's RC Shed. Here, we'll be doing unboxing, bashing, speed runs, modding…and a lot of fixing! Mainly focusing on the affordable and obscure end of the market, for people like myself who are new to the hobby. Join me on my adventures through the world of RC stuffs.
Whatever it is, do it! I've learnt nothing is beyond limits, and for the most part, people want to see it, too. I've got a new pinion in this now for part 2, just need to get out and run it. Fingers crossed it doesn't strip anything 😅
Hi, nice build. I can give you some hints about this car because when I was at your age I got one too, but I was not that frustrated back in time because I didn’t know better, how crappy this one was. First, you should always go with ballbearings it will speed up the car much more. Second, go with a strong but slow servo, the first one was the better choice. There is no need that the car, when it stands, should steer. It only should do it while your were driving . 40 kg server is way too much. Therefore you have to be very gentle while driving otherwise it would flip easily. To get a straight line, change the angle of the front tires. It should go more inside- both of them. (toe in) On the servo saver: put a ziplock on it, it will go back faster in the neutral position, but be gentle on that, you still want the servo saver function. Or change to better stronger Servo saver.
Thanks for the advice. You think the 9kg servo would be better, fitted with a different servo saver? I'll give that a go and see how it gets on. Thanks again, and I'm glad you liked the video.
