*Attention all new buyers!* You won't get full bearings anymore. Now you'll get a car with brass bushings. - 8 of 3x7x2mm for the wheel hubs. - 4 of 6x10x3mm for the differentials. - 2 of 2x5x2.5mm for the prop shaft. There are other changes as well such as rear body mount is now poles and rubber pad instead of magnet, wheels are now held with screw to the swing arm. The only good change I can see is the new board which, presumably, won't fry when you hold the throttle for too long. *Time stamps* Package Content: 0:25 Chassis: 1:06 Body: 3:19 Electronics: 4:30 Test Drift: 5:36 Test Drift Verdict: 6:33 Upgrade Guide: 7:51 Price & Final verdict: 9:01 What upgrades you should get with the car: 9:17

I been waiting for this review and I can’t wait for mine to come in the mail.I am glad the parts are compatible with mini awd.I am looking forward to the upgrade videos and I plan on upgrading mine just like yours.Thx for making these videos they are very detailed and give us a lot of info.thx again and keep up the awesome work.

You included a lot of valuable information. Thanks so much. I was originally going to get a WLTOYS A202, but after seeing your video, I'm definitely reconsidering. I appreciate you listing out all your components. Awesome channel. Glad to be a subscriber.

Nice videos man! Really appreciate the effort and you can see you are passionate about it. Now you gave me the RC drifting virus! the good side is that it is cheaper than my other hobbies.

Great video. Thanks for the upgrade links.

If you recently bought this kit and got one of the the non ball bearing batch, lubricate ALL the bronze/brass bushings before running the car, because yes they are dried out, and the motor will just scream out and move very very very slow. Pad/Cushion the servo, as well as the 130 motor underneath with a thin 1mm/2mm EVA craft foam cut according to size of area. Make sure no padding interferes with other parts. Why? Raises the servo (little bit more steering), Raises the motor as The spur gear tends to pop out in which you may experience having difficulty of no reverse or no forward after doing reverse. It "MAY NOT RUN" with 4x 1.5v AAA alkaline/non rechargeable (weird experience, luckily the board didnt fry if its because of the voltage), recommend 4x 1.2v AAA (which is common). Board has light indicator, blinks if battery is running low/not enough power to drift. Lubricate moving parts with machine oil every before use. Clear drive shafts of hair and dust after playing. Now, Run Stock until you upgrade according to beaver's suggestion. Enjoy.

I love your videos. Keep it up!

Would be interesting to see this with a 10a ESC , 2s and tires with grip. My q36 destroys plastic drive shaft but I bought a pack of 16 for $4

the info is clear bro, thanks

Excellent reviews 👌👍

Nice Beaver thank you gonna order two rite now!! Will be following all your videos......

Very good video! Thank you!

Just thought I’d drop in here and let everyone know that the 2020 update body mounting uses a piece of foam screwed onto the body with 2 holes for 2 ball hitch style pegs to slide into.

New board for this car is much more reliable, but steering angle became relatively small too. I've fixed this problem with adding two 3kOhms resistors to its 5-wire servo(brown and white wire). Now my TRQ1 got full range steering. lol

4:16-4:18 that's a very nice save

Spettacolare !!!...molto bella !!!

Goodjob bro

Μπράβο σου για τα βίντεο είσαι πολύ καλός και μας έχεις βοηθήσει σε πολλά πράγματα!!Συνεχισε έτσι την καλή δουλειά!!

Thank you for the awesome review! It seems that the manufacturer has changed from lug nuts to screws for the wheels. Do you know if the new ones could be changed to lug nut type?

Good video from you. Plz do a video on how to upgrade a Kyosho First Mini Z( the initial d version) thanks. 👍👍👍

Hello, i have a question. When i do the donut, i don't seen to use countersteering. The wheel is always turn the direction of the turn, and not opposite direction. Is that normal for 1:28?

This is a good review! I am having problems even trying to get my AAA powered car to drift at all? What could be the problem, or is it just underpowered???

Hi. Which offset wheels would I need for a "flush" fitment, rather than a "tucked" fitment?

Hi, thank you for this review. Do you prefer this car to the wltoys k969? The wltoys seems more solid.

Hi, which would you recommend between this and wltoys k989, for out of the box drifting without mods (for starters).

so im thinking of getting this one and making it brushless. I want it for drifting. Is there a certain kv i should look for?

It’s a short wheel base. It would be cool if you could fit most model car bodies on it

U're videos are so usefull and professional i love it.. Can you say me if on 1s we have a nice punch or it is slow with 3.7v?

Hi, seems, servo getting dead slowly. Could you advice pls, what could be good replace? I tryed to find 5g servo on ali with this size but not succed.

any idea what protocol it use? can i use my kyosho kt-19 (FHS) or KT-18 (ASF) to control this car?

ATTENTION, Banggood delivered me a much worse quality product them that in the video! The achassis on mine came very brittle, including many cracks around the screws. The ball bearings have beam replaced by cheaper, less efficient "bearrings". Just to add to the horror history, the electronics fried right away, similar to what happened in the video, but much quicker.

Right to put the message at the top for 8:13, as the Tamiya (Mabuchi/SMC) motors are supposed to be used with 3V. Overvolting they will not last as long especially not with the brushes in most of them.

Hello, my TRQ1 steers left instead of right and vice versa. Do I have to change something on the servo? Thank you

✌🏻😎🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿I ordered 3 of these. What went wrong with the electrics? Why did it happen? & will it happen to mine? What can I do to prevent this from happening to mine. I ordered the white, the red, and the black&green one. Or should I cancel the order? I listened to your advice and I also have a k989 & k969 now. I just realised they are both the same chassis 😂 They arrived this week. I haven’t followed along with your videos yet or modified them in any way. But I will. & if I ever teach the stuff I learn from you to anyone else. You can guarantee I’m pointing them towards my source. Keep up the good work.

Hi Beaver, i would like to play drift. but i had bought the wrong one, K989. what parts shall i change to make it drift? will it still harder to drift after modify K989 due no gyro? Thanks

Hi, do you know if we can use an other transmitter? Wich radio protocol does it use?

What would you recommend the TRQ1 or wltoys k989.

I plugged in a 7.4 mini lipo, and it fried my ESC too, the board will not take any more than 6volts?

Hi Beaver's Hobby,can you tell me if there is a system on the motherboard to prevent the complete discharge of the AAA hi-mh batteries?

Could i posibly put a plasma dash or ultra dash in it ? Or would it be too much to handle on 4.2v 1s 30c

My steering is backwards how do I fix it?Is there a reverse switch on the transmitter?When I move wheel to the right it turns left and left turns right.It did this on its own it was working normal before I put energizer lithium’s in it

Do you know what function the connector in the middle of the board has?

ตอนนี้ที่ไทยกระแสแรงมากครับ พวกwltoys 1/28 miniQ คันนึงทะลุ 3500 ไปแล้ว ของขาดตลาดมากครับช่วงนี้

เทียบกันระหว่าง wltoys k989 กับ Mini-Q TRQ1 ค่ายใหนหน้าเล่นกว่ากันครับ ประมาณว่า แต่งได้เยอะ ดริฟท์เนียนๆ อะไหล่หาง่าย ขอบคุณครับ

I was curious if you could provide a link to the weight you used thanks

I see the video and look nice

can you suggest a good battery for this one. ?? i got one and use normal batteries. Car run super slow

Do you think this is worth the money compared to the k989? because on bangood the k989 costs 20 dollers more than the mini-q you reviewed in this vid.(im not tight budget so every doller saved counts) Also is it easy and cheap to upgrade the electronics if they break?

I just got mine based based on this review but it came with bushings instead of bearings on the wheel hubs, do you know which ones I can use?

If I cut the wires can I use a 1S lipo ? Thanks nice vid !

Hi Beaver, how easy would you rate this car for drifting on a scale of 1-10 where 10 is the easiest? I've put on drift tires on my 4wd cars and can't drift for my life. Hoping this car can train me. Thx

just bought a trq1 from banggood. fyi the chassis is now black plastic instead of the transparent blue. everything works except for the servo which has too little travel. at max steering dual rate i’m only managing ~1.2m diameter turn circles which is huge and have trouble initiating drifts. may i ask what kinda turning circle diameters are your cars doing? i hope there’s a mod i can do cos i don’t wanna switch out all the electronics and thanks beaver for the informative video!

Hi Beaver, i got atomic amz and love it thank you , got this car for friend , but it wount bind for me ,and no transmitter instructions, can you help ?all in 1 bord has no bind button just controller, i insulated moter wires from bottom of bord,hope you are doing well 👍

"It broke before I finished testing it" Well, that answers all my questions.

Will the stock k989 rim and tire fit for this?

hello can i know where to buy the upgrade chassis for this model? and the car shell tqtq

I'm looking at cheap RC car to play with this summer, should I get this or K989?

What lips battery are you refuring to do you have a link

The servo is 5 wires... How can i use a 3 wire servo?

I bought one of these and right out of the box it isn't working properly. After just a second or two of throttle, it will stop. I can get it to go again, but it will stop again in just a few seconds? Not sure if it's the transmitter or maybe a gyro setting, but right now it looks like I wasted 40 bucks. Any suggestions?

My mini q trq 1 will not move only the steering works. Sometimes it goes forward a little bit and stops. It’s like it is out of batteries. I have tried replacing the batteries in the controller and car. Do you have any idea why it does that?

Will this take a 2s lipo or will the cheap pcb melt?hahaha lots of fun with mine although lots of work to get it to run,

Did you know Kyosho Mini Z also sometimes goes backwards by itself? Its not only the Mini Q TRQ1

Great review! What are your thougts of this one? "SINOHOBBY Mini-Q TR-Q5OP-BL "

hello good day, can I ask where to buy some parts for my mini drift car, tia

Hello to you what is your final set-up? upgrade parts included thanking you and good luck to you

This swing saft can ugrade us swift saft wl toys k969 or not?

Please add video for mini z body fitting for this please :)

Hello, I have tried to find the Mini Q trq1 on banggood but they say there’s error 404 and website was not fetched. I cannot buy it. Does this happen to you? Last week I went on and it was fine and it was available for purchase. Do you have any idea about it? Anyway I bought a WLToys K989. Can you please do a review on the stock one of K989? Thanks. By the way I am a subscriber of yours and your channel is really good and I like the 1/28 and 1/27 scale content.

It will be on sale on Ali-Express on Black Friday 29/11/19 for 24$ or 21€ !

Hello finaly i got my TRQ1 yesterday, but watching your video it looks very easy to controlled drift but actually it is not 😄, i know i need practice Kindly tell the upgrade which makes its easier to drift and remain in control as well 2nd can we use lipo battery in stock TRQ1? If yes then What power figures should be considered eg how much voltages or capacity

Hi! Should i get this one for drifting or the k969? This will be my jump to the rc world, i'm not planning on upgrading it until things start to break but i'm not afraid of upgrading/repairing it. The trq1 looks easy to repair and modify (plus 15€ cheaper), but seeing your older videos makes me wonder if the k969 would be a better choice

What do you recomend ? Wltoys or mini q ?

What would you say is a good cheap drift car to start with.

hi can you reply to me this kit trq1 can i fix diff gear from k989 diff gear,pinion,spur and drive shaft from k989 to this kit

How much U.S. dollars how fast can you put brushless motor in it?

Does anyone know the song during the drift test?

I wanna what is best trq1 or wltoys k989?

Is anyone else having an issue with the car going from stopped to forward or reverse, or from from forward to reverse and vice-versa? The little red light inside the body blinks, and when blinking the car wont move. I have to wait a while then try again before it engages...

3 people don't have a 1/28 scale R/C Car.
