This was awsome guys. I love seeing something other than the same ol same ol, sponsored rc content where the same car is reviewed by 50 different youtubers. I love when you guys do shenanigans. You could put the body on a hobby grade chassis and make it even better. Or, if you wanted to keep the chassis and continue to work on it to get the bugs worked out, you could try using epoxy to fill the screw holes, tap it with a drill bit to make a pilot hole, and rescrew it with self tapping screws. Ive done that before and it works. And the beauty is, you can do it repeatedly. Whatever you guys decide to do, ill be watching for sure. Keep up the awsome contents guys. 👊 (oh, and the P-Diddy comment made me lol and wake up my wife.)😂
Modifying toy grade RCs to perform better is something I enjoy doing. I actually bought the same one as you, but haven’t modified it yet. I have a number of videos of my modified RCs if interested. Your video at least shows me how it looks inside. Thanks
Not all bad ideas are actually bad... This one was, but you learned haha... I had a pretty good chuckle when the car ran away, and then again when Ethan was on the ground lol
I have a similar toy RC car I got on eBay that was a Ferrari F50 GT. I replaced everything inside with using the electronics from an Eachine Brushless buggy. 3D printed some shock mounts and used FMS oil-filled shocks. I put a Yokomo gyro and it is fun to drift in parking lots. The hard part was finding tires to glue onto the rims. I ended up 3d printing a tire spacer to fill in the gap as the inner part of the tires was too big of a diameter. I use a cheap 160-dollar Ender 3 Neo 3D printer which is a must for these projects.
Yes, we use the New Bright bodies on crawlers and drift cars. It's been done for a long time now. I have a New Bright F150 Raptor body on my Traxxas Trx4. They are pretty heavy and only good for trail trucks.
Would be pretty cool to see a chassis swap although it would take a ton of work to make it look correct. I’d love to see it if you guys try it out. I swapped in a 550 brushed motor/esc into an old 1/10 toysrus Barbie corvette and was crazy overpowered lol. Even added servo to turn the steering wheel inside. Was a fun project but stopped messing with it after I realized how poor it handled not having any suspension and hard rubber tires that spun on the wheels just like yours. Though if you did a chassis swap it’ll probably make me want to get mine going again
What they need is a 3D printer. I did a build just like this. Having a 3D printer to make parts is a must. My 3D printer only cost 160 dollars. I use an inexpensive Ender 3 Neo 3D printer. Use a free CAD program that has built-in AI and it will help you design the parts with minimum effort.
