This is the NEW PD Racing 'Minitron' a 1/16 Mini RC Car Basher. Tough, cheap.. but is it as good as the MJX Hyper Go or the Arrma Gorgon? A decent cheap RC Car for Christmas. Truck version looks like a mini Arrma Big Rock!

@quipstad 8 ай бұрын

Pretty good deal for the money but it seems to be lacking in just about everything but the chassis durability. Some nice beefy parts there. With all that chassis slapping, it definitely needs a suspension upgrade. I also think it may need an electronics upgrade in the future so you can see just how durable the chassis is! This thing deserves to go fast! It would be cool to get it to comparable performance of the HBX 16889A Pro and see if you can do it for less $$ (including a servo upgrade). Thanks for the video as always Phil!

@muskokamike127 8 ай бұрын

3:35 "grease in there" now that's an interesting idea. Instead of oil in the shocks to mitigate the springs, just a glob of thick grease. Think about it: the viscosity of the shaft pushing through the grease would provide enough resistance AND it's so thick it wouldn't tend to leak out like oil. Maybe take one of your friction dampers (tamiya) and put a glob of vaseline or ? inside.....hmmm I might try that with one of my minicrawlers......

@jasonbecker4997 8 ай бұрын

I’ve done it on my scx24s. A little glob of shock grease in the top of the shock with the tip of a screwdriver and cycle it a few times. Actually made a difference.

@TidyRC 8 ай бұрын

I’m gonna try that on my tracer. Can’t hurt can it. 👌🏻

I think a LOT of issues could be solved by proper shocks....that'd solve the body slamming. good durability though, the chassis seemed pretty much perfect after all the abuse....

@simonpurcell8811 8 ай бұрын

Ftx tracer is only £79 online sometimes cheaper brushed and £120 for the brushless so I'd say this one in the video isn't really that good for value for money...parts for the ftx are very cheap and available if you do manage to break it
