JJRC Q117 1/16 BRUSHLESS... Budget RC Review and first test. 

I guess you could look at it that way yeah, some drones are very tough

Awesome!😃 I am happy to hear I could help you make a decision, perfect car for the cost👌

How is holding up the car??

@@BASSstarlet so far still good!

Yes both mine are still going strong, insane night bash video with the buggy and some other cars coming soon💪

Spot on! Chuck all the upgrades on it call it a pro but install friction shocks. It couldn't cost much more🤔 It is a fun car though. Thanks as always Tim, have a good Christmas mate🎄🙂

@@rccrazy You have a good Christmas also. Going to get some snow today, about 1-3 inches and drop down to around -6° f tonight into tomorrow morning.

Oh nice, well if you like the snow😅 I've never seen the snow but definitely want to!

Friction shocks is why I haven't bought this thing yet.

I know how you feel but seriously you will miss out on a great experience if you don't try one. It's still cheap compared to probably all other brushless options even after buying upgrade shocks for it.

Thank you very much! Glad to know it was somewhat informative, I do get a little forgetful sometimes😅

Very cool😁 I'm glad many people are trying these cars because they are so good for the price🤩 Thanks mate, from Melbourne Australia 🇦🇺

​@@rccrazyGreat friend, I like that you have content showing rc cars and I have followed 👌🏼🤩

Yes some cars incorporate the 3rd channel but not all

You are correct actually🤦 I just plugged mine in and the 3rd channel does allow you to change the light function. Thank you for making me want to double check mine😅👌

Thanks Dome😁 It's a very fun little car this one👌

Definitely a good speed for 1/16👌 Thanks for checking it out mate👍

You may actually be more correct than you realise. The way a off-road car should be set up in my opinion is so on landings the car can bottom out if it needs to. The way this and many other cheaper cars are set up without proper geometry they don't bottom out running those bigger wheels. So yes it would definitely put excessive strain and pressure on the parts. Well pointed out👌

@@rccrazy thanks I have a little advantage with being involved and now owner of a model shop that has been going for 19 years 😛. These little cars are great though and getting more people into the hobby especially kids. Have you seen the 1:12th HBX one based off their 1:16th platform also sold under many different names, not seen a brushless version yet just brushed? The MJX Hyper Go's getting some love as well. The naming system for some of these cars is very confusing though, I never remember the WL Toys ones 🤷😂

Oh very nice! You would definitely be helping the hobby big time then👌 Not brushless I dont think but I have seen some of the 1/12 HBX cars, not 100% sure it's the one you mean, so many around these days it's extremely hard to keep up😅 I like the MJX chassis being based around the HBX but if you watch my first MJX vid you'll see I didn't have the greatest outcome, a driveshaft broke after maybe 7 tiny jumps (brushed version) and there was no parts available at the time😕 I'll have to get that back out now I got parts.

I don't want to spoil the results if you wanted to watch the 3s test vid so here is the link ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-mt6DDve-sQk.html It is fast though and reasonably strong components. But HBX/Eachine have by far the strongest parts, even the Eachine plastic drivetrain lasted longer than ALL 1/16 cars iv tested on 3s, insane skate Park bashing with my Eachine EC30 with all plastic drivetrain and all I broke was 1 plastic driveshaft🤯 That was after multiple very hard bashes with it!

Saw the vid. 81 is impressive. I got 86km on the HBX but I changed the motor to a 5900kv 2845 using the same wheels as the JJRC/SCY. The gearing on that car is built for speed. Let's hope it holds to your 3s bash cause on the HBX they don't last if you bash it (rear bevel gear only) Oh and one other thing I like about the tyres is that they don't balloon as bad as others. Max speed I got on those tyres were 130km. 😆

Yeah I got 102kph with my HBX 16889 on 3s 2845 5900kv, tiny foam wheels and geared up, going 4s very soon! Yes the hbx/eachine and jjrc/su chi yu 1/16s can definitely handle 3s, landing jumps with as little throttle as possible makes a huge difference to diff lifespan, obviously it's impossible to avoid crunching the gears sometimes. 130kph with any of these cheap wheels is crazy, well done🤘

That's right. I saw that vid you did with David for the 16889 speed challenge. That was a good one. Yeah I'm surprised the tyres held up even to that speed but it was on a 124019 4s. Okies cool, look forward to that 4s run and thanks for replying as well 🙃

Yes I enjoy that colab challenge, was great fun😁 130kph is impressive on any platform really, but yes 144s and 124s are exceptionally smooth for speedruns once set-up correctly👌 And you are very welcome😉

Thank you, and thanks for watching👍 I think spare parts are available on Aliexpress and possibly Banggood. Try searching for JJRC and Su Chi Yu parts, they are compatible👌

Ali express is truly easy to get parts now

Got nothing to do with the voltage in your case if your running the same voltage on both motors it's the KV, you increase the KV by more than 1000kv of course it'll be faster. A 3650 4000kv would smash a 2847 4000kv motor.

@@rccrazy I agree. What doesn't make sense to me is my 2847-4000kv can go 55mph all day on a simple 3s. Do a 120c 3s and I hoped mine out at 68mph. The people who spend hundreds of dollars on a 6s-12s battery for a 1200kv motor and yet we're getting those results with way less is what I wa saying

@JesseBlum that's a pretty silly set-up, 1200kv and 6-12s🤔 Not point with a car like this but a limitless or something yes definitely, that in a limitless would easily achieve 100mph on the correct gearing. These cars though are not ment to do 100kph so anywhere close is an achievement. Sorry mate but I can't see you getting 68mph on 3s with this car, 4s maybe but just changing the esc can not give you that much extra speed.

Yes definitely a good cheap brand to choose👌 If the esc box has 3 x tabs mounting it to the car it is less likely to survive 3s. None of mine have tabs on the esc they are just stuck down with double side tape. Thank you for watching.

Well yes if you controller batteries are flat no the car won't work😅 I would HOPE that was common sense to most people though, batteries need charging or replacing frequently, all batteries!

They don't all run on 3s no, MANY people have blown them, overheated them and even flames according to one viewer I think all cases have been the escs with 3 screw tabs moulded to the esc box. I've never heard of one without tabs blowing on 3s. And oil shocks are not for speed they are for stability.

Think your confused as this is nothing like the HBX/FTX platforms! Chassis and components are completely different and parts are not that easy to find for su chi yu or jjrc. And the mjx in my opinion is definitely not the best, far to heavy and the steel is made of glass, HBX steel parts are far superior.

​@@rccrazyare their(mjx)diff gear easy to break compare to hbx?

@mzmhrc1274 I 100% believe the HBX diffs and other parts are made from better steel or materials than the MJX but the HBX is much lighter so that could be the main reason why HBX seems better and stronger🤷

Yes you just have to make sure they are the correct size for the battery bay/tray. Most generic 1500mah 2s lipos will fit and upto 850mah 3s lipos.

@@rccrazy Thank you very much, friend! ^^

You are very welcome🙂

Thank you! If you have 2 of them you can run them both at the same time yes, you would probably have to turn one on first let it connect to it's controller then do the second one, shouldn't have any issues👍

Thanks mate👍

@@rccrazy 🙂👍

Yeah it's a fast little car👍

Thank you very much!👍 So yes after an hour of driving any car will get hot, that's why I always stay with small lipos so it isn't to heavy but your only running it for like 15mins at a time so it has time to cool down while changing the lipo. But most 45a escs should handle upto 4500kv 28mm motors on 3s yes. I would definitely stick to stock gearing if you run 3s though, if you gear up or use too large wheels you may exceed the continuous 45a limit of the esc for longer than it can handle and possibly damaging the esc. It will be stupidly fast with stock gearing anyway, you don't need to change the gears at all mate.

Okay, perfect! Thank you, I will definitely use a smaller Lipo That makes perfect sense bro, so what kind of setup do you prefer to max out the speed on this 1/16 fully? Like which brands and everything. If you have links also, much appreciated. Thank you for replying!

And also, I know I would need a new receiver and transmitter. You mentioned the brand Dumborc in your other video on the jjrc q117. What model of Dumborc r/t were you using?

Ok brands, many cheap motors are just rebranded good motors so it's ok to get cheaper or "budget" motors as they are cheaper but the same product. ESCs not so much, I highly recommend getting Hobbywing or something better as most of the cheap escs are not great, glitching, delays and impossible to fix is very annoying😆 And I try and use CNHL or Gens Ace lipos fir speed, they seem to be the best for speed👌 And this is the dumborc system I use nl.aliexpress.com/item/4001291284460.html?spm=a2g0n.shoppingtesla.mainproduct.d0.44e2Xij9Xij9T8&pdp_npi=3%40dis%21AUD%21AU%2477.81%21AU%2453.68%21%21%21%21%21%402103011117053095580977708e9d47%2110000015636537564%21btf%21%21&afTraceInfo=4001291284460__unknown__c_ppc_item_bridge_lp__a5pjiRM__1705309558339&gatewayAdapt=glo2nld

Thank you so much for all the information! I’ll try out CNHL 3s batteries. And for the esc, I found a GoolRC 45a esc with a 4370kv motor for like 45$. Don’t know if it’s good or not but I see good RU-vid reviews on it. One last question, what’s a good servo for this 1/16? I see a lot of different sizes for servos and it’s very confusing lol

Thank you heaps mate! I'm glad you picked this one for you son, they are great cars for the price! It depends what the car will be used for but you can run whatever shocks you want upto 65mm. Any longer and the driveshafts bind up in the outdrives/drive cups. I use wltoys 65mm shocks front and rear with 30w oil all around👌

​@@rccrazyThanks for your help, I'm going to change them then, thank you very much.

Thanks mate👍 No I didn't notice anything like that with either the truggy or the buggy

​@@rccrazycan I take this car to the water is it water proof?

@Sanchez-uh3uc according to the company they are water proof but many people have told me they are definitely not water proof. It's a try at your own risk type scenario I think, sorry I couldn't help

Awesome! They are very capable little cars and super fun, hyper go's are also fun the only thing I don't really like about them is they are super heavy.

@@rccrazy yes it has some weight indeed

What shocks did you get? How did they work out?

I'm just using wltoys 144001 shocks, they do a good job but they are a TINY bit to long so the chassis can't bottom out. If your not doing huge jumps it's fine, if you are jumping a lot then try MJX hyper go shocks, they are shorter.

Yeah im pretty sure they would've got their inspiration from the kraton😅

Not quite sure what you mean but no I didn't experience any problems, on 3s it cut out for a second but worked fine after that.

Yes li-ion 7.4v

@@rccrazy thanks😁👍

Yeah it couldn't cost them much add oil shocks🤦 Other than that it's awesome, if I could find spare steering knuckles it would be up with my favourites👌

It is a sweet little truggy, the steering knuckles though😖 Thanks for watching mate👍

It comes with the 2s li-ion pack

@@rccrazy Now it works great ..I love how fast it is..thank you for replying...

Nice! Yes they are definitely fast enough to have plenty of fun👌

I did not check the diffs before driving but it feels like they don't have any oil or grease in them. A bit extra diff oil or grease will definitely help👌

I assume your esc has 3 tabs with screws that hold it to the car, yes? Only the ones without the tabs run 3s without overheating or blowing up.

This was a VERY calm bash compared to the next few videos I uploaded with this car, but no my shafts did not bend they are still straight

You can buy whatever brand you want, just match the measurements so it fits in the battery bay and has the same plug, so just search 1500mah 2s lipo with Dean's plugs. You can also use 3s lipos for more speed, I use 850mah 3s lipos.

ST.D/R on the controller is steering rates, turn that down a bit, it will slow and reduce the steering

If you mean like a crawler then I don't think so. You would have to lock the diffs, change the wheels and probably put different shocks on it. It's definitely for jumps and fast driving.

No it comes with a basic usb charger, it's a bit slow but it charges the battery.

It does but that's what RCs are supposed to do so you don't damage every other part. Shocks in particular are at massive risk of damage if the car can not bottom out.

@@rccrazy huh... yeah i can see that rn i bought one and i jumped etc. and it has a lot of scrappin on the bottom. thanks for the answer i was really worried that it could damage it!

No don't worry about scratches or little chuncks taken out of your chassis, just means it's doing a good job of preventing major damage👌 Enjoy😉

It's great but I personally prefer the Eachine EC30 or HBX 16889. I would say the Eachine and HBX are stronger but not by much.

Between 10 and 15 minutes depending on your driving style

It actually got quite a bit more on 3s, I think a VERY high quality and high C rated 2s would get it close to 70kph. 3s run👇 ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-hnrCg5WIuJw.html

Yeah its great they don't cost too much I think that's why they are so popular👌

@@rccrazy cheers for the reply. I might need more batteries. also got the upgraded shocks coming 😁

Yeah more batteries more fun🤪 And yes that the only thing that I don't like about most of these smaller or cheaper cars, friction shocks😱😅

Well yes basically any 4wd RC with enough power can perform flips and stuff, but you still have to control it so you don't crash too bad, LOTS OF PRACTICE.

You can put basically any wheels on it but too big and you start stressing out all the components like diffs, shocks, arms and in some cases I've snapped driveshafts become of binding in the diff cups due to the chassis not being able to take the force/stress. I use the original MJX Hyper GO wheels and they seem to do a good job.

Thank you🙂 It's about 180mm from axle to axle and about 280mm total length

You will need a new controller and receiver combo, I recommend DumboRC X6 radio system. And a 3s capable esc, I recommend the Hobbywing WP-10BL-50a esc

@@rccrazy thank you sir

You are very welcome👍

Connected in parallel yes but in series no.

Aliexpress👌 Search JJRC and if you still can't find anything try searching for SuChiYu parts

Thanks heaps mate! So to go faster your always going to want to go higher voltage, higher C rating kinda gives you a tiny bit more speed but nothing compared to volts. If your already running 3s then I would suggest going straight to a 4s system but only run 4s for speedruns, the components aren't really strong enough for 4s bashing. But that would also mean you would need a new radio system(controller and receiver) as you would no longer be able to use the stock 2in1 esc receiver in the car.

@@rccrazy Thanks for the response mate!, im new to rc cars and i just got the rc car, by any chance do you know the exact name for the 3s battery and where to purchase it ? sorry for all the questions, cheers!

Your welcome and never hesitate to ask a question, if I can help I will help👍 The 3s I'm using in this video I can't find for some reason but pretty much any 850mah 3s should fit without issue. If you start going higher mah/capacity it may be a challenge to fit in the actual battery bay. These should fit👇 www.ebay.com.au/itm/204380131155?epid=23025093147&hash=item2f96014f53:g:3TYAAOSwa7ZknAXT&amdata=enc%3AAQAIAAAAwPQqSxDXlHtMHIxRscNmMX7wFYEz7byRjo3yXbQp3ijp4tZ6oWNkPsYvRJVepUbyLsKc5HZwawrxe6wNMJzZTOhN5vv%2F4IfSpTFNC8PVu%2FTRG%2B7OKJUwNnvFdglijlNiZUThof8MdBZc3DUzMymZxrtylWjUW%2B9%2B0sL8sfQMTBy7eFH%2BV4QrvlWwGveebOf%2F0beqfUH7QkVR3cuwUW4m0dE7des81cE6jhXCVaus1iUxtmhjITQlo0a2wT%2F2mB%2BkpA%3D%3D%7Ctkp%3ABk9SR6ykje7LYg But you will also need a deans to xt30 adapter👇 you need the (D) version. www.ebay.com.au/itm/224943196283?hash=item345fa8c87b:g:QNkAAOSwVvtiW1Ik&amdata=enc%3AAQAIAAAA4GQ4Y7DSHmGGxGGsVx%2Fg3mAzNUR6axJ6GAdmLuEByUR%2FO6q6Yf48RSL8V3xlKw9pQKfwgItMNH1RBH4UwOOc1V6U2KsmvV%2BtMCFcdiALTySN%2FSIz7L%2BUq1dSSIeezYIAZuSJhATPYLhpU%2FNFwCs7SO7oL5n0zG1z0f2tTUmYn6voC3%2BIutVMfoF8kPupYO39XpU73nBWolqDrBMn8J34QV3zAzyqlDhk63E348DDRDUywk%2BWwOtSHXJPL4xeGztMVdigTXhfnaKNA0sE7qI%2FAoz1apAN4Py39jSVkQeJAklg%7Ctkp%3ABFBM2qyd7sti Some people run huge lipos on the top centre brace but I don't because I want the lowest CG and more weight mean more chance of damage or parts failing.

@@rccrazy Thank you very much! I really appreciate the help.

If it tracks straight when on power but not straight when off the power that could be a number of things, diff gears, wheel locking up, or a servo issue. I've never had any issues with stock the servos so I've never swapped any out, sorry mate.

I swapped out my metal servo from my wltoys modified buggy..perfect fit..alls good now..thanks

Easily handle 3s, I have run them on 4s aswell, got a bit warm but no issues.

​@@rccrazyI just added a 2s ovonics 5200 mah 50 c battery pack,have not tried it yet, it should be faster

Just added a ovonics 5200 mah 50 c battery pack to mine,have not tested it out yet don't know how fast it will be but I going to find out😊😊😊😊😊😊

About 60-65mm

I've not has this particular motor lock up or blow but I have blown many motors. It's a little hard to tell sometimes as there are a few ways a motor can fail and all feel different. I assume you've taken the motor out of the car and then rolled the car without the motor, if so and it rolls freely without anything binding/locking up then its not your gears.

60mph backflip would be impressive with any car I think😅

I will be making a video today. I tried it witha 45 amp a 60amp will be nutz haha.​@rccrazy

I love how it sounds like a jet going down the road​@@rccrazy

Yeah definitely

The system is 3s or 11.1v compatible. You need a 3s lipo battery, I got 56mph completely stock out of the box just by swapping to 3s👌 Try between 650mah and 800mah, most fit easily.

Thanks . I made mistake and ordered a 2200mah 50c zeees battery will this work I had got it for my hyper go rc but will it work in a 16102 car thanks

No 2200mah is far too long for these cars. Only downside, the battery bay is so small, it does keeps the car light weight though👌 I think 850mah is going to be max for these cars.

@@rccrazy Brother! Are you worried about the battery compartment or is 2200 50C 3S too much for a 35A regulator??? I was going to order 2200 50c 3s... Have you tried only 800mah? Can I have 1500mah?

Some 1500mah 3s lipos might fit but from what I've seen 1000mah 3s is about maximum that will fit in the battery compartment.

It's absolutely fine, very capable electronics👌

@@rccrazy that's great to hear. Stock ESC even?

Yep no issues whatsoever😁

@@rccrazy well I just ordered another one, two 3s cells, and two 2s cells. My Grandma passed away and I think my grandpa will love to rip these around with one as a new hobby! (Got the 2s cells and lithium ones incase the 3s is too crazy for him or my cousins!) You just earned a sub, thank you so much!

That sounds awesome! Good on you for keeping you grandpa busy, im sure he appreciates it🙂 Yes 3s may be a bit much for some people😅

Wltoys 144001 shock with 30w shock oil is what I use

Oh it came from one of my spare cars. The parts are available online👌

Oh cool you decided to get back into RCs? Yes it comes with a 2s and a basic usb charger, awesome little cars👌 Oh and you can run them on 3s stock out of the box👍

​​@@rccrazywhat's 2s do you recommend. And would like to add some oil filled shocks. Need a decent charger. When I flew rc planes I always used a Cell pro multi 4. Not a great one cause I think it was limited to maybe 4 amps. But i flew giant scale gas.Any recommendations?

I think most 2s upto 1500mah should fit, I only use 3s so I'm not 100% sure with 2s fitments. Shocks I just use wltoys 144 shocks with 30w oil in them. Charger, again I can only recommend what I've personally tried and that would be ISDT, been using the SC-620 500w 20A for like 7 or more years now, AMAZING chargers! There are some ok budget chargers but not many.

@rccrazy what 3s do you use and has it created any problems ?

@rccrazy could you provide links to charger, shocks, and 3s you use?

The car comes with a 2s

@@rccrazy Thx

Stock motor so 2847 4000kv

If the esc is held down by double side tape and a zip tie then yes they sometimes handle 3s. If the esc is held down with 3 screws then no do not run 3s.

It's the SkyRC app for the SkyRC GSM020 gps module.

I know the buggy version runs 3s no issues ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-AizjipvJ7_k.html But the truggy having a larger motor and larger wheels it will pull more amps possibly blowing the esc combo. Best I could do for you is put the bigger motor in and the truggy wheels on the buggy because the truggy is a spare parts car now😅 Would that be ok?

@@rccrazy could u try for me please or possibly make a video of doing it ik I saw your recent video on it that u converted it but cuz I'm curious because I've seen people say u can run 3s lipo on 35A so would be great if u can try it

Yeah the buggy has the same 35a esc that's why I said I could just swap the motor over and the wheels and its literally exactly the same just a different shell.

@@rccrazy yh if u can could u probably make like a RU-vid short or something ueing the original 35a esc reciver combo and Trying 3s on it probably like 25-40c discharge rate I'd appreciate it alot if u could do that because I really want to buy this car and use 3s on it but don't want to bother buying a new esc and reciver,transmitter

I can do that, I only have high C rated 3s lipos that fit in this car but that won't make a difference really. Will do a vid soon👍

Seems a few people are having the same issues, I've not found how to fix it. I would recommend replacing the 2in1 board and controller with a Dumborc controller and receiver and a separate 40a or 50a esc, you can keep using the stock motor and servo, it should all be plug and play. But it will also allow you to use that one controller for as many cars and/or boats as you want, just buy and bind/pair more dumborc receivers to that controller, cheapest and best option in my opinion especially if you plan on buying more RCs👌

Sure can👌 ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-hnrCg5WIuJw.html

More mah = more runtime. Unless you mean actual life, how many charges it will get, that I can not answer😅 I would imagine you would be limited to probably 2000mah 2s max and 1000mah 3s max if you want to keep them in the battery bay.

Ha! I definitely meant runtime. Thanks!

Any specific brands you like?

@13racecar31 I really like CNHL lipos for good run time, great lipos in general👌

Ahhhh look at the screen! What do you mean?

100% get the brushless version, better in every way👌

I got mine from ebay Australia, link is in the description. They are available elsewhere though, Aliexpress stock them I think.

I'm assuming you have fully re-charged the battery and your still getting a cut-out, maybe try a lipo as the stock ones are li-ion if i remember correctly. Try a high c rated 2s(50c or higher) if your still having issues it may be a faulty esc/2in1 board.

Oh apologies, I think you ment you tried a 2s lipo aswell as the stock li-ion with same results.

So basic normally means a brushed motor and Pro is the brushless motor version. If you have a basic brushed version don't attempt 3s, it will burn! The pro brushless version with 3 plastic tabs on the sides of the 2in1 board sometimes survive 3s, if your 2in1 has NO tabs it should run 3s no problems.

@@rccrazy I have a model like the one in the video with a brushless motor. It is all original, I have not changed the ESC, will it last 3 seconds without modification?

As I said if the 2in1(esc) has 3 tabs and screws to mount it to the chassis then most likely no it won't last on 3s. If the 2in1(esc) has no tabs and is held down with double side tape then yes it should run on 3s.

The stock esc is the 2in1 board. Don't understand sorry.

@@rccrazy can u show me a pic of how the stock ESC should be which can handle 3s please? Mostly are moulded being held by 3 screws

You can't post pictures in the comments section mate. But the difference is one version has 3 screw tabs moulded onto the esc. The cars I purchased came with esc that had no screw tabs at all, they are held down with double sided tape. I do not know where to get replacement ones without the tabs.

do you have an email please I send the pic? thanks to you I would have just bought a 3s battery with everything stock and burn it

Yes email is saulaldridge@yahoo.com Or Facebook Messenger is RC Crazy if you can find it.

I use the SkyRC GSM020 gps meter but I'm not sure what the app is called. I just search SkyRC gps in the google play store and it's usually one of the Top 3 on the list.

SO SORRY! I did not get a notification for your question. I do not know how to fix the stock setup, sorry. I'm not sure if it this will necessarily make it better but its quite simple to swap/upgrade to a hobby grade setup. You will need a radio system(controller and receiver) I recommend a DumboRC X6FG radio set, and you need a 35amp or 45amp esc, 3s capable. Everything will be basically plug and play just make sure the battery connect on the esc matches your battery(Dean's plug I believe)

Change the battery

I used MJX shocks, they seem to fit the best. And if you can't find a lipo with a deans plug you can buy adapters for basically any battery combination. Otherwise you'll need to change the plugs on either the esc or the lipos via soldering. I assume the lipos you found are mostly xt30 or 60 plugs, I highly recommend changing the esc to xt30 or 60 anyway.

did your 3s battery work well with this car? i have the same one?

Mine work fine on 3s but they are the 2in1 boards held in by double side tape. If your esc 2in1 board is held in the car by 3 mounting screws DON'T run 3s as it will almost definitely fail.

Latches? Do mean the mounting points for the servo? If so then just cut them off, snap them off, it's just a couple of plastic tabs.

@@rccrazy yes sir that one. since the servo has a separate mount right? so I would just find one with the right size, remove the mounting points and it's done?

Yes they have a little holder that kind of clamps the servo to the chassis👌 I think the JX 1181MG servo is the correct dimensions and they are GREAT little servos! Should be easy to find just Google JX1181MG servo.

I got you. Thank you for the info sir. You're the man! 🍻🍻@@rccrazy

You are very welcome🙂

Hi 👋 For 1/16 cars I would use 400-600cst in the shocks but the stock shocks are not oil filled! Personally I would use 50k oil for the front diff and 30k oil for the rear.

@@rccrazy ok thanks!

​@@rccrazyHello again, I wanted to get the mjx 10208, it is a 1/10 rc car. Which differential and shock absorber oil would you recommend. and would a 3650 motor fit in?

@LyPo663 I'm not sure sorry, I have not got that car

@@rccrazy ok but for a 4wd 1/10 monster truck rc car which dif oil? and which shock absorber oil would you recommend

I am actually not sure! They do not have a pairing or binding button as you would expect🤔 I'll do a little research and hopefully find a solution🤞

@@rccrazy ok thankyou

@@rccrazy check your batterys in your remote control

@@robertowens7771 yea im gonna try that getting some different brand batterys it might be that

Sorry for the late reply. The shocks are off wltoys 144 and MJX Hyper Go, both have stock oil

@@rccrazy do you know which cst oil are in the shoks?

@@rccrazy I will put the same 144 shoks, but I don't know which cst oil to put.

Not exactly but I would personally use 30w or between 400 and 500cst.

@@rccrazy Thank you very much, I will do this.

Yes I know, I have many videos of this car after this video

So you'll need a controller aswell so only one option for a budget radio in my opinion that being a DumboRC X6FG radio. And most 35a or 45a esc should fit, I don't recommend or use budget escs sorry, quality brains only!

It happens to mine,after one charge, my daughter drive it on lowest speed for an hour and after charger steering was messed up, either not steer at all or steer only in one side. I order new ESC and transmiter and solve the problem. Seller from aliexpress didnt refund me. But still awesome and powerfull buggy i like it.

@@rccrazy i did buy 60A just to be sure but than again i didnt count about wire thickness so i did have to order new one 😂🤣😂

I said to get 45a as a "to be sure" size, 60a is more than enough but some 60a esc are physical too big for this car. But what you mean by not sure about wire thickness?

@@rccrazy on that 60A that i order wires are much larger so the yellow blue and red plug are to big to connect to original motor. And yes, ESC i physicaly too big to place it under the cover so.

You mean the Bluetooth GPS name? SkyRC GSM020

@@rccrazy thank you 😊

Your welcome dude✌️

I get all my parts from local suppliers, ebay Australia or Aliexpress but this may help others👍

Thank you🙂 If it's happening when you use the stock battery and it's not actually getting stuck on something it could be something faulty in the 2in1 board. It could also be gear problems, if a tooth or 2 are damaged the pieces floating around can lock up the gears. But, if your running 3s it may cut out a few times(not locking up cutting out) When I started using 3s mine did cut a few times but it's been flawless ever since.

@rccrazy yea i saw your original video and the conversion video and that shit is insane how it gained 26km...kinda makes me think about switching myself lol but hmm i see well it is the stock battery so would u recommend switching that first? And i just started driving it so unless it came damaged i havent caused anything yet lol however their was one time i got it to work lol

@rccrazy oh yea I forgot to mention mines didnt come with the wheelie bar attached...im actually going to install it today to see if thats the problem

Don't want to ask a silly question but just incase, you are charging the battery to full charge? If your not it may just be going into lvc (low voltage cut-off) Yeah try a good quality 2s lipo, maybe 40c or more and see how that goes. I do also highly recommend if you haven't got one already, get yourself a proper balance charger, doesn't have to be super expensive but something better than the usb chargers that most of these cheaper cars come with. Then you can charge 2s upto 6s lipos aswell👌

No that won't cause locking up if that's what you mean. That and the front bumper are just added protection, I do it to all my cars if they are available for them.

Not sure sorry but c rating won't really give you faster speeds in my experience, why not just go straight to 3s? These cars run on 3s stock without issue

​@rccrazy what's the highest C rating on 3s I could go to for this rc?

I run 850mah 100c 3s lipos, these little cars are very capable👌

​@rccrazy you can run that straight out the box? No esc upgrades? Last question but is it safe enough to run 100c 3s or will it overheat stock

Yes 100% fine and safe to run 100c 3s straight out if the box. Lipos are NOT dangerous despite their reputation, if you mistreat them then yes they can become somewhat unsafe to keep but you will know when a lipo should be discarded and replaced.

Well the speeds are in the video but anyway😅 55kph on 2s lipo

@rccrazy that's pretty fast frfr

This video has the 3s run with the stock system, 80kph + if I remember correctly. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-hnrCg5WIuJw.html

@@rccrazy what's a 3s

@Fly-ij1og it's a quick way of saying how many cells are in a battery. Each cell is classed as 3.7volts at normal voltage (4.2volts at full charge) You multiple 3.7v depending on the cell count of the lipo. So a 2s lipo is 2 x 3.7 = 7.4 volts 3 x 3.7 = 11.1 volts 4 x 3.7 = 14.8 volts and so on.

I cant remember what I got with the stock esc but I think with the 45a esc I got around 57mph. That's good your getting close to what I got without having to change the esc👍

​@@rccrazywow, I just tested out my jjrc q117 4×4 truck with the ovonics 5200 mah 50 c battery and got 34.08 mph and it was not even half throttle, ran out of parking lot space, dont know what the top speed is, no were thats large enought to to run it full speed, they stopped us rc guys from using the foot ball stadium parking lot 😢

I forgot to mention I got 24 miles per hour on low

Not bad👌 But that's horrible not being aloud to use a parking lot with a tiny little rc car🤔 Power hungry people☹️

Ok, I've never heard of temu

How did you manage that? I ma looking to buy one from there

Yeah temu is the newest app in the block and it is quote addictive if i must say

How did you get a free truck

@@2803hamza thats were mine is coming from, it takes a week before it gets to you, mine is coming monday( dont touch my truck) i love that song

Fair enough😅

You're still running 2s then 😅

I ran this on 3s only after this video I think🤣

@@rccrazy This for £73 or the 168 pro Ornange thing for £80

@ianmangham4570 honestly they are both very similar and both are worth getting. The HBX 16889 is maybe a little stronger but I love both

Awesome🤘 Hope you enjoy it as much I enjoy these truggies😁

@@rccrazy oh I am I got into the hobby by accident 😂 I found a Rlarllo AM d12 buggy for $8 at my local Amazon return store and I've been hooked every since

😲 yep that's nuts😅 Never too many involved in this amazing hope mate, glad your having some RC fun with us👊

I also order one in temu... (16202 pro...blue) and i am confused what i need it to drive 70 km/h??? Replace the better battery or what....and what battery??? Any link where to order? Temu only says...with an upgraded soft pack battery needed for 70kmh and nothing more. Any help please.

And if only using 3s battery is okay i dont need any more modifications? Only stronger battery if i am correct.

The one in the video, the Pro brushless version has all metal gears yes. The brushed versions do not.

@@rccrazy ok thx so much

Your welcome👍
