You will definitely run faster lap times with the motor in front of the rear axle.

All of this damage is from the 1st and second run.

Nice! But a bit on the expensive side for me.

The play is normal . I raced the 1/10 scale 30 years ago .

Same thing mine has. It's normal. The suspension is super loose though, everything has play

yes the fitment of the suspension balls is normal, even on the 1/10 scale. this is so they can rotate, there is no socket as much as there is a tubular hole fitted to a ball so it can pivot.

Yeah, those Mini-Z bodies are nice, but way too much$ for a piece of plastic. I make my own.

Oh it's definitely hobby grade, and i found parts , just a little tricky.

They're all sort of the same car, arent they? Litehawk has a version too

I used the Racent body on the SCX chassis.

Awesome bro, Do you think this car needs a suspension upgrade or the stock suspension is already good enough? I'm thinking to buy one of these and make a rally stage course.

Did you custom make that body..

This set up allows for use if the original jeep body as well and could give you a performance advantage with the battery up front. No wires had to be cut and extended.

Nice head to head comparison. There are many knock off companies that do deliver on body detailing and lighting. However, many of them are lacking in the electronics and mechanical areas. Axial has a tremendous advantage here in it's after market support. The upgrade for motors, gears, axles, shocks, etc are endless. And while some of the upgrades may work with the knock off, many of them just wont. I think they are both good choices depending on where you want to go with the hobby. Cheers, I subbed.

"Racent." Is the value priced rc I could not think of at the time. As of right now based upon what I'm seeing...it is a better value for the money. No physical driving has been done yet.

I think, that the place where the suspension to the frame would break when the car have a load and go a bit rough roads, I'd add some reinforcement to it like a thick wire or something a bit sturdy enough and durable for it.

Let me add some clarification to the links on the differential. Most RC cars come set up at ride height with full extension. However, if you look at a monster truck, the front differential and rear differential links are parallel to the chassis, meaning there are flat and level for the most part. The drive shafts are at their smallest points. So, zero degrees to the horizon sitting still. Most of us RC enthusiasts will be setting up our links and / or drive shafts for full extension to make room for compression. The drive shaft is getting smaller.

Is this a joke? _Put thin metal sheet on edge of straight piece of timber, then tap gently with a hammer._ Brilliant! 😄 You delivered it very, _very_ dry. 👏 I was genuinely convinced for a while, that it was serious.

To further my point that I was trying to make. Uneven tires make your vehicle unpredictable.

A 330 MPH Dragster that runs the 1/4 mile in under 4 seconds can make the rear tires expand over 5 inches.

Wonderful breakdown and you answered all of the questions I had about getting one of these. I want to get the SG PINECONE FOREST 1607 Pro (better upgrades with the shocks) and then get the Porche shell body from Udirc $25 (way nicer looking in my opinion). Would I be able to swap the body between these?

Something to take away. The brushless versions are a better way to go if you plan on upgrading. Called the "Pro." In some cases. If you get the brushed and decide to go brushless...consider the purchase of a new esc, transmitter, motor, and servo. Be sure to read the item description box on anything you purchase.

Im guessing you're further ahead...as the profile picture suggests.

Where did you get the top plate ?

Ok ok... Cool little car, never had any wltoys vehicles. But I know the smaller ones have wheels that fit Orlandoo Hunter vehicles... How old is this? And those wheels! What size are those wheels! I have some green 3 spoke aluminum wheels for a wltoys on my green Orlandoo Hunter jeep and they don't look as big as those!

I have a similar motor that has the shaft extending out both ends. I think it was in a helicopter my son crashed and destroyed. I soldered a Losi micro-t connector onto it. Anyways, if you used one like that you would have to reverse the internals of something front or rear to make all the wheels spin the same direction. Literally the only reason I kept it was to make an AWD and haven't done it.😅

The original 1/32 scale rc conversions. kzfaq.info/sun/PLvXU8LXUe1kgfaHxi3p6BZtOBgspi2x9Z That channel is no longer used for things smaller than 1/16.

In this particular case the electronics come from a "mini Q" single-cell lipo power vehicle. After the servo went bad, I replaced the servo with a wltoys 9 gram 5 wire and had to swap the connectors. It's working. A 130 sized motor, for power, is used. A crown gear and motor pinion from a slot car are used. This is my opinion, appears to be the perfect combination for this small of a vehicle.

Got the notification from your other channel, watched, 👍, followed the link, subscribed! You know I'm obsessed with these small scale RC vehicles!

See a short demo of the diecast model moving. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/rZ2BqNeorMfPo2w.html

Yes Nice and cheap !! lik'n sub 👍🏾

Cool.

I like the design. That sucks about the paint. Better luck next time.

Nice i have the brushless version i want to gear it up some how but for now its sitting on the shelf

Rounded looks better

Rounded looks good keep it up

I didn't think like it was important to make a video of the body in red as you have seen from the cover photo. It's not perfect, but it should work well for what I wanted to do, which is to be a mold for a lightweight body of similar proportions.

It's looking good.

Nice man really cool work!

This truck started off Life as a diecast model. One day I end up having a extra flight board from a helicopter. I decided to modify the static model into an RC truck. So I turned it into a diecast drifter. The downside to using a helicopter flight board is there is no reverse. Now it sits here with a combination of the original plastic chassis from the static model and a custom made aluminum chassis to hold all the suspension components and axles. Springs are custom and the axle mounted servo is also custom. Steering is done with a 9g servo. I had first modified some aftermarket metal drive shafts for a 1/16 wpl by shortening them up. This put everything in a slight bind, not being able to extend and contract. Now I am using drive shafts from a axial 1/24 scale crawler... still had to modify its length. After breaking one u joint, I decided to make one out of brass, and it appears to be working better than the original.

If the CVD drive shafts end up in a bind. I will make a new chassis for a 1/18 scale.
