Thanks for the video. I used a Hobbywing 18a ESC and a Surpass 5500kv, for my K989. I did find out one thing though. I carefully soldered A to A, B to B, then C to C. Double checked to make sure it was right. When I went to take the car on it's maiden voyage, it ran backwards. So, I had to partially disassemble and swap 2 wires. So, what I'm saying is is that ABC doesn't always guarantee that the motor will spin the correct way.

I appreciate all of your videos! So much great information! I’m currently building my first mini drift car using a wl toys 284131 and an ACWXA Rwd kit and brushless motor setup , metal diff, and metal gear servo all with a Nissan s13 body with a wide body kit , this little drift cars are insanely fun especially since you can run them indoors! I from Washington state and it’s winter time here now , normally I would be riding y mountain bike , but it’s to cold now , so this is what I’m doing for winter! And I’m already addicted!

Love your videos, you inspired me to make a video on how I recently made my two k989's longer so they fit 1/24 or 1/25 hard plastic model bodys. Also I found a new way for doing spring set up in the front, by useing a leaf spring across the top of the front diff and clamped down by the top plate. I'll make a video soon of that.

What if you accidentally soldered the wires backwards to a censored motor. What’s gonna happen? Is it bad? For example. The middle is correctly soldered which is B but was soldered backwards to C & A or A&C. What’s gonna happen?
@BeaversHobby6 ай бұрын
If it's sensorless ESC the wiring order doesn't matter. If you wire it in a different order then it will spin backward. In the end you can still change the direction in the programming anyway. However for a sensored ESC + sensored motor, you will have to wire it in the correct order otherwise it won't spin or stutter because it doesn't spin as the program expected to read from the sensor.

Does anyone know where I can get a mini lipo for the original battery connector for this esc please
@BeaversHobby4 күн бұрын
The plug is JST-PH. Mostly we use Atomic, GL and Marka racing batteries. These can be found in Mini-Z racing shops. Check out Wolfram RC or Micro RC Syndicate for US/NA www.wolframrc.com/shop/lithium-polymer-packs/97 www.microrcsyndicate.com/shop/batteries/35 Or Mini-Z Racing Italia if you are in Europe. GNB (Gaoneng) is also very good. Here's one on aliexpress. The 3P (3 pin) version is what you need. www.aliexpress.com/item/1005003274681868.html Be careful, this is the HV version. If you use it for racing it might not comply with the rules (overvolt). Here's the standard 7.4V version. The size is a bit different though. www.aliexpress.com/item/1005002571544957.html

Hi, I have an issue you might be able to help with, it's not related to this video but I wasn't sure where to ask this. Presently I am trying to add leds to my mini -z I have the kyosho led kit as well as the yeah racing led kit. I can't get either of them to light up at all. I've tried everything I can think of. Any advice would be awesome, I don't see what I could be doing wrong and its driving me nuts. Thanks in advance.

Which version of the car is it and which version of the LED kit? Because ASF/MHS/EVO car needs one type of the kit, the MZW439R with resistor that plugs into the ICS port. And Sports/FHSS needs the MZW429R.

@@tommytsunami5773 The yeah racing kit connects straight to the battery. The MZW429R should work with the AWD directly. Check if the channel 4 is turned down. If you have a multimeter, check if there's any voltage coming from the port. Also you can test if the light works simply by wiring it up with a 1.5V battery. Just use 2 wires with some tape to hold one end to the battery and stick the other to the light.

Unfortunately I don't know when will it become available. I only know they are working on it to be some kind of all-in-one motor with replaceable rotor to change the KV and replaceable bottom to make it interchangeable between sensored and sensorless. From the sound of it I think this will take some time.
