Your channel impresses me big time! You have a very unique style that keeps things fresh. Very entertaining without being irritating. I love that your kids are in the videos, they add a lot to the entertainment factor and you don't overdo it. Do you have a current preferred entry-level RC car? Something built in the style of the car in this video. Looking to stay below $200 and brushless.

Outstanding review as always! You test yours HARD like I wish I could but I just can't bring myself to break my car but thanks for doing it for the rest of us! I was curious what speeds you got on 3s with that LIPO. I managed to get mine up to 43 mph with a tiny 850 mAh and 46 mph on a 2,200 mAh 3s that does not fit in the tiny battery tray. I managed to get my up to 30 on 2s but I prewarmed my LIPOs before running them.

Thanks man, I’ve watched a couple of yours on it too. I showed the speed of 40mph. Did it 3 times in a row and always got exactly 40. Which is crazy cuz it’s supposedly a 120c and was 1500 mah. Though they probably just throw those numbers on there lol

I have the 2995 platform converted to Brushless. One thing that keeps failing is the center drive shaft. The hex tends to get rounded over time right where it inserts in the umbrella pinions driving front and rear diff. Rest of the platform is great bang for the bug.
@DerbyCityRC
@DerbyCityRC 9 ай бұрын
I’ve heard that complaint one other time.(maybe it was you on Facebook lol). That’s so weird cuz with everything I’ve done to these, especially my 2995, I’ve never had that happen. I’m sure it will one day lol
@galactivation9577
@galactivation9577 8 ай бұрын
Yes this is the weak spot in the drive train, only 3/16 or so of the hex shaft engages with the umbrella pinion, the shaft is too short I welded and filed material back on to my rounded shaft. Shows how tough the gears are on HBX, I would think that the shaft would win over the umbrella but nope! Running bigger or grippier tires will round the shaft quicker I found, I like the 2996a tires but the rims are brittle and crack quite easy. HBX has some silly design flaws that they don't fix just repackage. I love the way theses drive though!

Review that one with the paddle tires on you'd be amazed how fast that thing is even with the paddle tires on.

Bought this my son for Christmas, even being 50 degrees out it overheats in like 10 minutes of use. Fan works and comes on as soon as you turn the power on if its hot or not. All this with the stock 2s battery, I've used the battery for three days in a row because it over heats and my son gets bored waiting for it to cool down. We just use it the next day and its still great for about 10 minutes and then stops working until it cools down. On about the third day we do get the chirping that the battery is dead. Just not sure why we need two or more batteries when you spend more time waiting for it to cool than we do using it. Not sure if it will even last 10 minutes in the summer since it gets so hot here in NC.
@DerbyCityRC
@DerbyCityRC 7 ай бұрын
What seems to be excessively hot? The esc or the motor? That’s not right it should be able to last pretty much endlessly (within reason) in 50°. Also, it’s normal for the fan to be on all the time, that’s just how they work, even the high end stuff. Hbx is good with customer service so they should take care of it for you. Just make sure there is nothing binding the wheels making it hard for them to turn, it should roll relatively smoothly with a very slight “notchy” resistance from the motor. Hopefully this helps.

Impressive review and run and bash with this Evan. I’m loving mine. Shattered by body too, but it was pretty cold out. I thought the thicker shell my hold up a bit better too. 😆 I also had a full speed head collision with a curb and it rolled out of it unscathed. Overall I really like it a lot. Power delivery is really linear and not too obnoxious. I like it! Going to try my hobby wing program card on it for shits and giggles, just curious. 😂 Any way, I was thrilled to see Mad Max race you with the q130, that thing surely will run toe to toe with the 2997!

It’s definitely not a thickness thing. In fact I think it’s too thick causing it to be brittle (cold didn’t help). In fact this has happened to several new cars lately, including my Arrma 4s models. I think they’re trying to find a better material, and so far it hasn’t worked lol Thanks !!

You can always get a flyhal fc610 and do your own brushless conversion. Besides the looks and the brushed motor It’s the same overall truck. This platform can handle just about any 3650 or 3660 brushless setup you drop in it. I just checked Banggood and It’s on sale for a 100 bucks again. That’s a great price, even for a brushed version.

I can make my daughters 2995 lock up the wheels and stop on a dime. On the 2997a, when going forward when I try to stop it slowly comes to a stop, takes about 10 feet, won’t lock the tires up. Also the car is very slow in reverse. I took it apart and put 100k diff fluid In Center diff. I think it smoother now. With the center diff out, motor clicks really loud when I spin the pinion gear. Not sure if that’s normal. 🤷‍♂️
@DerbyCityRC
@DerbyCityRC 8 ай бұрын
Double check the throttle trim knob on the right. It should be centered and it’s probably turned too far clockwise. The motor should make a noise and feel notchy. Too much would be a problem though so as long as it’s running smooth, it should be ok.

Should help having 2 side by side to compare. I love the vehicles though. We hooked.

@DerbyCityRC

The bearings can usually be pushed out with a small screw driver from the opposite side of the bearing. Just push gently and go around as to not push on the same spot each time. By wheel mounts, I assume you mean the hubs, and the bearings where the axle rides in? Just called wheel bearings or hub bearings. I’ve got it shown briefly in a few videos but really can remember for sure which ones but just try pushing them out like I described. Hopefully that helps!

How does this with 2s compare to the 2995? Id think this is still a little faster, but the 2995 looks like its higher off the ground which would be better off road. Ive also been wondering how the larger tires you put on everything would perform with this.
@DerbyCityRC

Ya it’s quite a hot faster, especially being :s capable. I wanna say the 2995 got 17 mph when I speed tested that 2 years ago. This one does around 28 on 2s and 40 on 3s. Something like that anyway. I haven’t seen a stock 2995 in a while so I don’t recall if it sits up higher or not. It shouldn’t because it uses the same components and if anything, the 2997a has longer shocks, not shorter ones. I will be doing an upgrade video on it for sure!
