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.
@DerbyCityRC9 ай бұрын

@galactivation95778 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!

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.
@DerbyCityRC7 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.

Just wondering if you can fix a car that has a broken chassis or is it just used for spare parts? Have you ever posted a video of a chassis repair?
@DerbyCityRC6 ай бұрын
You can replace a chassis! Here is one on nearly this same model car from quite a while ago: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/qthhqrGA1K7Xdn0.htmlsi=p6yHofrw1SOM_ldP

Is that curb all busted up from you hitting it with your rigs? Ive seen you smack it so many times. XD
@DerbyCityRC7 ай бұрын
lol no it was like that before we moved in. It’s from the fact that’s it’s too tight if a turn for the garbage trucks and they run it over a lot lol I assume anyway. I imagine it’s the original curb from the late ‘60s when it was developed.
@krishurrle7 ай бұрын
@@DerbyCityRC Just giving you a hard time, man. I'm not sure these little cars could cause that kind of damage to the curb. ;) You got me craving this truck as my next model. I have a 16890SA, 3100A, and a 903A but am really wishing I had bought the 2997 instead of the 903.

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. 🤷♂️
@DerbyCityRC8 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.
@adamjenkins798 ай бұрын
Did all that, I was concerned about the notchness of motor but I’m a noob so I don’t know what normal is. I’ve order a replacement but if it acts the same I’ll send it back and keep the dirty one. Should help having 2 side by side to compare. I love the vehicles though. We hooked. Santa brought the 2995 to my daughter, daddy had to much fun and got the 2997a, mommy got jealous and her 2995 will be here today. You got us hooked 😎

I added diff fluid to the center diff in this video and it made a difference for sure. Check this out, it’s the same car with different tires and body (maybe shocks too). It was either 100k or 500k, I can’t remember which one I went with: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/l9lhf9NovpnPqI0.htmlsi=J2oKw3womd1Zj83L

It’s not out of the question, but more than likely by the time I got around to making that video, mjx will have had about 7 new models to replace this one lol I definitely prefer the 2997a due to size, durability, and handling.

do you or anyone have videos, or where can I find Instructions on replacing the wheel mounts. specifically, wondering about how how to pull the bearings. or do I just toss em and buy new ones for new wheel mounts?
@DerbyCityRCАй бұрын
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!
@anthonyschutz72015 ай бұрын
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.
@DerbyCityRC5 ай бұрын
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!
