Thanks for the vid. Especially surprised about esc difference! I was struggling to reduce cogging of surpass rocket combo and now it's the time to change my esc to dasmikro one too. Btw, is GLA 10.5mm CVD shorter than Atomic one? For mine, GLA dogbones popped off from drive cup unless 0.9~1.3mm spacer added...

@BeaversHobby 3 года назад

They should be the same size. However some diffs like ball differential have shorter drive cups so that might still cause a problem with 10.5mm shaft.

For your ESC, experimenting with BLHeli firmware might solve your cogging and initial acceleration concerns.

@BeaversHobby 2 года назад

Unfortunately, the firmware on Surpass Rocket ESC can't be modified. I haven't followed the drone side of the hobby so I don't know if it even has forward-brake-reverse function that will allow it to work with cars, last I check it doesn't.

@nitinbhawnani9990 2 года назад

Hi Beaver, very nice detailed build as always, you are a true inspiration. Can you please advise what AWG wire and bullet connector (size) cable is used here for the rocket v2 motor which connects to the Daskmikro brushless ESC.

@BeaversHobby 2 года назад

20 or 22AWG. I used to use 20. It was a bit thick but fit well on the motor. GL Racing and all others come with 22AWG and work well without heating up so get 22AWG if you can, otherwise 20 will do. The plug size is 2mm banana.

@flpsht 2 года назад

Hello, great videos, but i wonder, what gears do you use for the long shaft? i'm thinking the front and rear that you replaced.

@BeaversHobby 2 года назад

It depends if you want drift or touring/grip. For drift, yes, get the same front one way and rear solid axle (or just front one way) that I have and you'll get a good drift car. For touring/grip, take a look at Mini-Z differential for gear diff or ball differentials from Mini-Q (OK quality), Atomic AMZ (good quality with a bit of chance to slip), GL Racing GLA (great quality).

@jeffreymeeks9080 3 года назад

Great video. I noticed the wheels connected to the front one way differential don't spin when you let off the trigger. I thought they should spin freely. Won't the one way diff behave more like a locked diff if the wheels are too tight and don't spin freely?

@BeaversHobby 3 года назад

The oil is still a bit sticky right now. If you look when I reversed, the front wheels did't move. That's probably a better measurement whether it works or not.

@TheJeffinman 2 года назад

@@BeaversHobby Hi Beaver, I think my front one-way is also sticky -- perhaps this is why if I let off the the throttle at full speed (in a straight line) the car turns sharply to the right? Even with the above, the front-one way has mad a considerable difference improving the sharpness of corners I can take. Have you done or could recommend a video on Fluids and lubricants, etc? I'd love a crash course on what should be used for cleaning/lubing bearings, diff grease/types to use, what works good on shocks, etc.

@coryweir984 3 года назад

Awesome video, I'm about to make this conversion but I can't decide between the Furitek or the DasMikro ESC. You say in your Furitek vid that it's the best you've ever used, but is it really worth the 40 extra dollars?

@BeaversHobby 3 года назад

It depends on what you want. Furitek is the best and worth every penny if you really use all the features like realtime setup (no restart the ESC, just change the value and it uses that setting instantly), throttle curve, fine tuning the the control and also has ultra fast response. Basically it's racing-grade stuff that no many casual drivers will use. If you just want something that works well and power any 1410/1625 motor without hiccups, DasMikro is all you need.

Hey @Beaver's Hobby How does the DASMIKRO esc compares to gl racing esc v1.2 ? Does the DASMIKRO esc performs just as well?Thinking of buying an esc soon.

@BeaversHobby 2 года назад

They are almost the same. Dasmikro has a bit higher starting speed but less to no cogging. GL has softer start and lower speed but might cog with some motors. Beyond that part, they are the same. Well, they are both Hobbywing programmed after all.

@rc7435 7 месяцев назад

ANY SUGGESTIONS for some tires that offer more grip? Everyone seems to be focusing on drifting while many still care about real racing. Any hope I would appreciate it.

@BeaversHobby 7 месяцев назад

The tyre compound depends mainly on the surface you are driving on. For RCP and what I use for upside down EVA garage mat, you can't go wrong with Kyosho Mini-Z radial tyres. The lower the number the higher the grip. I use 30 degree for both front and rear and it grips really well. If you only race on RCP another option is Marka Racing. You can go as low as 20 degree but it might incur some grip rolls. So if you like the grip for 20 degree but it rolls in corners you can change the front to a less grippy one like 30. If you play on wooden floor or regular home floor then foam tyres are great. I have some GQ tyres for driving around. The setup is front soft, rear super soft. Not that the car rolls over but it's for the car to not spin out that easily.

@midnitejmpr9429 3 года назад

Always followed your stuff, even before I finally got my k989. When you plan to switch between drift and touring car, are you going to change the diffs too? Or just the tires?

@BeaversHobby 3 года назад

Change the diffs too. Standard gear diffs are fine but if you want more adjustability, get some ball diffs.

As well as Wltoys making the k989 they also have make the k969 which is a drift car. It’s also the same price.

@BeaversHobby 2 года назад

@@Digitness K969 is the same car with different body (Porsche), locked diff instead of open diff and drift tyres (not that good but they'll work). I mainly go with K989 because to me the body looks better, open diff can be locked but locked can't be opened and I'll get better tyres anyway. All in all it makes no difference what car it is if you end up doing what's in this video. Just choose the body you like.

@typexfantasy 3 года назад

thanks for the links - going to try a few of these upgrades on my son's 989. by the time it's fully hopped up though its getting close to the price of a drz, bmrx, etc. in your opinion, what's the #1 best performing mini drift platform today?

@BeaversHobby 3 года назад

I'd say GLD has the best overall performance and design. It's easy to tune and very well thought-out. It'll need some upgrades like front aluminium bulkhead, aluminium knuckles and shock towers but after that it's a great car. BMR-X drives great but changing motor and tuning is tricky. DRZ V2 is supposedly good. I got the V1 and it's really good so I haven't bought V2 yet. You got a lot out of the box like adjustable wheelbase and aluminium front knuckles but it can't adjust between low and high motor mounting position. Also don't upgrade the WLtoys K989 chassis with aluminium parts or carbon chassis. Keep it stock and only do the electronics, diffs, wheels & tyres. Basically anything that you can move to a better chassis. This will look expensive because radio, ESC and motor combined are way more expensive than the car itself but you'll have to buy them with any car anyway.

@BeaversHobby 2 года назад

You'll need Philips cross screwdriver no.1, hex screwdriver or Allen key 1.5mm and nut driver or cross wrench with 4mm slot. You can use a generic cross wrench for RC car on eBay that goes for 1-3 USD. You can also get a full set of screwdriver and nut driver for computer and mobile phone from an electronic or computer shop. The quality isn't as good as proper RC equipment but it will get you going for much cheaper and it's easier to find.

It's basically a re-branded Flysky GT5 so the protocol is AFHDS 2A. If you want a small receiver, take a look at FS2A. The size is about fingertip. www.aliexpress.com/item/4000136437334.html

Does the surpas esc run fine besides the caulking? And is the caulking only when starting to accelerate?

@BeaversHobby 11 месяцев назад

Besides cogging (stuttering) it is also slow to respond. Imagine pulling the trigger and it takes a while to react.

@Jasonkartracing 2 года назад

I switched back to the stock k989 esc and running a 3s lipo and it’s running great. I thought it would have fried it but it’s taking it like a champ. I also ran the stock 2s lipo with a 1s wired into it and she rips. I would have never thought it would take it but I was wrong. The motor gets a little hot and the esc is cool I do have the cover off the esc. I would have to say it picked up another 8mph with the 3s

@BeaversHobby 2 года назад

As far as the heat goes, if you take a brake and check the temperature regularly it should be OK. This ESC is weird to say the least. Some even burn at 2S from running normally, not pushing it or anything.

@Jasonkartracing 2 года назад

It’s still going strong on 3s. I ordered a couple brushed 85000 rpm motors the ones that come painted brite colors and I wasn’t expecting it to run on the stock esc so I used another on another esc and it ran for about a min and quit I put the other brite painted motor and again one min. The esc is fine but I can’t figure out the motor. I even wired in a resistor like the stock motor but nothing. I wasn’t trying on 3s only a 2s. Is there a trick to those motors. Got them off eBay and for that min it ran it was quick. Any ideas. Thanks

@BeaversHobby 2 года назад

@@Jasonkartracing Do these motors have carbon brushes? You can open them up to check, there'll be a black block on each side of the terminal that touch the armature. If they have that and it still stops after a minute then it's either a cutoff from the ESC (ESC can't handle it so it shuts off for safety) or the motor really can't take more than 5V.

How did you get the brass gear off of the motor shaft??? The motor wont come away from the mount without removing it first. I didn't see you address this in the video. GREAT video by the way!

@BeaversHobby 6 месяцев назад

This was the older version with plastic gear. The new version with brass gear... that one is almost impossible to remove. It's very difficult to get a gear puller in so I ended up not removing it and keep using the old motor. Another way is to try and heat up only the shaft and push the gear out with a screwdriver. However this way is tricky and you might end up melting the motor mount instead.

@TheJoshRed 6 месяцев назад

@BeaversHobby yes sir indeed. I ended up buying the motor/shaft/mount assembly and cut the motor off with a cut-off wheel. It was a little messy, but it worked. Only $13 for the assembly too.

Hello, i have troubles with this FOW Unit on my k969. Situation: driving in a straight line then letting of the Throttle the car spins out immediatly. Do you have a solution for this? Already checked if the wheels are not tightened to the same amount but that did not help.

@BeaversHobby 3 года назад

That is normal for one way especially if you were going fast then let go of the throttle. (Skip to 4.36 of this video to see the explanation ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-rTveWKmr8xY.html ) You can only lessen the effect by making sure the steering is centered, lube the one way bearings inside so they spin forward with the same friction and if you have a bit of toe out that will also help.

You can use the gears that came with the car. 15 and 17T with 5500KV motor. 16T also works well. The gear is mod 0.5 with 2mm hole. For more spare you can search for "plastic gears mod 0.5" or "plastic gears for small robots". A big kit like this will have mod 0.5 pitch and many T to try. www.banggood.com/custlink/mvDtaOnJFj Mini-Z AWD motor pinions are also another option.

@BeaversHobby 3 года назад

You meant controlling led via radio? You'll need a light controller for that. Otherwise if you just want a simple light that stays on once you turn the car on then you just need some LEDs with resistors like in this video. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-_g4uwUtobPk.html Normally the ESC will output 5V to the receiver so you can calculate the resistor you need from that.

@BeaversHobby 2 года назад

This car is wide enough as it is for 1/28 and will not really benefit anything if it gets any wider. If the car gets wider the dog bone part of the swing shaft/CVD won't reach the differential and it will drop off the car causing it to loose drive or worse, snap the CVD. And you will need to re-work all the linkages otherwise the toe angle will be too extreme to drive (here's the video about metal upgrade ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-cKw-T2f-Qms.html ) Also it will be harder to find a body to fit.
