Build cars, drive cars, break cars, repair cars! Thats the life we all love and enjoy in the world of RC. Join me as I experiment and test variations of RC builds to see what work and what doesn't. Can we go from "Bashing" to Racing? Is there any skill required to drive them? Is RC for anyone? Is bigger better? Stick around to find out this and more at J-Toy Autoworks! I aim to gain your support on a lifetime venture to explore the world of radio controlled (R/C) and hobbies. Like and sub for videos and content revolving about R/C and small scale cars!

Man that was on point. I don’t know how I missed these videos before. Very practical informative. Electricity can be dangerous and everybody gets complacent one wrong slip of a screwdriver or wire cutters could puncture a pack bad news. I just want to add that when you’re reterminating a connection end always disconnect from the energy source the battery in this case and if you can’t then heat shrink or at least electrical tape one end at a time while you work on the other. One other thing to watch out for is solder creep. Try not to hold the hot tip on any part of the connector more than two seconds and if further repairs required go ahead lay it down work on another connector or sip a beverage for five minutes let it cool down should be cool enough to touch to your chin comfortably. Too much heat in the attached wire strands will cause them to physically suck in more hot liquified solder up in to the cable itself this should be avoided as it adds resistance and leads to torn cable jackets causing dangerous short circuit conditions when the now inflexible cable bends further up away from the connector and it’s hard to fit the pack in to the vehicle battery compartment. Also use a good quality rosin flux the cake tin is good but the best imo is the liquid kind which you can make by mixing cake flux with alcohol in a screw top baby food jar or some other sealable container. Oh btw all tracxas connections should be obliterated with a laser weapon. I purposely won’t buy trx kits due to my dislike for that connector so much. I’m always wondering why xt30 and xt60 aren’t more popular in surface vehicles they’re tough and easy to repair. Tamiya and futaba for life ftw! Peace.
Wow, I really appreciate you taking the time comment! It was an amazing read! I look forward to others watching the video and reading your comments so the community can be fun, safe, and helpful to everyone. Thank you.
That was a great video good production quality you’re still photos were on point I’m looking for on Road wheels for Tamaya 1/10 TA08 I’m building for a speed run I’ve scene videos were plastic ones blow apart but I’m concerned that aluminum ones will be too heavy of rolling mass are the Tamaya racing wheels the plastic ones rugged or do they break often?
The Tamiya wheels should be ok I would imagine, I have a TA05 that I still have plastics on. From my experience the cars that do run and high speed as far as I’m aware usually have plastic. For example poplar cars such as the “Felony” and “limitless kit” are typically seen with plastic rather than aluminum.
@@jtoyauto I supose that using a adjustable rim, not strong enough is for racing on Tamiya TA07 pro ? or TT02 ? at high speed ? or even a drift wheel ?
That’s awesome! I’m glad to hear that, it’s nice that you can have fun experiencing the hobby together, I have some more information via blogs on my website that your dad may also find interesting @ www.jtoyautoworks.com a few quick reads that relate to our hobby. I hope you guys have fun!
Awesome video! i just bought a used TT01 from Japan as my first drift rc and there is little info on it. Being a visual learner this will help me identify all the parts to see what ill need to fix or upgrade!
That's awesome, I since there plenty of options for upgrading the TT01 you should have fun at every turn, I think I like my basher/rally version the most, thanks for watching and leaving a comment!
