Good call on the gyro! I still can't believe how good this is for the price and spending 40-50 bucks more can make it awesome.

Yes ,i agree great design...i actually have the new race care version that uses same chassis ..i added oil shocks and upgraded to a 2845 5900kv surpass and went to 22t pinion from its stock 18t and 2440 4500kv...on stock 2s it went from 25mph to 40mph mph with ridiculous power...

It's a great truck! Russian or Canadian, you can have a lot of fun for an affordable cost. Thanks for watching my video.

I borrowed these wheels from another RC. They are better but not great. If you really like this RC go and buy some nice wheels for it, it's worth it! I would suggest 1/10 buggy rear wheels for all 4 but it's up to you.

Awesome! It's a great truck for sure and we love ours too. Thanks for dropping a great comment!

That is going to be normal hearing it whine when breaking. If you double brake it goes into reverse so that would make it stop extremely fast. One thing I would check is your throttle trim. Make sure it's in the most neutral spot. You can play with it with not touching the throttle on the radio and dial the trim up so the RC begins to move fwd... back it off and keep going till the RC goes in reverse... once you find that range, trim the throttle to have it in the middle as best as you can so you will have proper throttle and braking. This RC is a bit louder than most at this size but it has a lot of metal which the cheaper RC are plastic. So it will make more noise. It's a great RC and with a little maintenance it will last a long time and have fun. Hope that helps. Sorry with a delay answer... I was away on vacation last week.

Thanks! Yeah it's fun to go crawl and try things out when you tweak your truck. Course keeps getting upgrades and built out more every now and then when I find time too, more to come for it! Thanks for watching and leaving a comment.

Awesome!

Thanks! I noticed in the video and switched them a while ago. Always appreciate the help though. cheers!

Hey buddy.... yes this one is right up your alley! I won't be parting with it soon though, lets just say that!

Awesome stuff! I always check FB marketplace and also drop by the e-recycle place most days, it's right across from my workplace. The owner is super nice guy too. As you know you'd be amazed at what people drop off. He gets something cool at least once or twice a week whether it be a computer or electronics. Thanks for watching and leaving a great comment. Cheers!

Good stuff! I'm happy with the MJX brand too and they are tough. I'll admit I'm not that hard on my stuff and don't jump my stuff often. In a few years i'll have more free time and can get into wrenching more but I'm in the mode of keeping things working and running. Having 2 kids who like to RC it's charging batteries and making sure things are ship shape to run! I've been watching the vids on the new 1/10 truck. I think it will be good but the reviewers seem to have got first version for feedback and they'll release a v2 soon. We'll see it's gotten praise and concerns from all kinds of different RC channels. You have to pay attention, they get it for free so their review might be biased. Everyone is talking it's cheap but it's like around $330cdn and that's still a decent chunk of change.

Hey! I gave this RC away to my son's friend so that family could have fun with RC. Not sure if it's still in running condition but he had fun with it and got more RCs since. Sorry I can't answer your question.

Thanks! I've done follow up videos on my channel with this truck with good cheap upgrades. Check em out! Thanks for a great comment. Have a great weekend!

@@mikesrccorner I like 1/16 scale trux, and I tried out a Traxxas "LaTrax" Tetom truck which I enjoy, but I bumped it into a blue plue plastic squarev recycling box and the Tetom broke its front left arm. I drove my Sweep into harder situations and never broke an arm. I once drove it into a sewer and had to use a "snake grabing stick" to reach inton "clean" street sewer and got it out and its fine. One thing I do is cut the front lower body by 3mm because the wires for headlights get messed up from the front lower part of body. This is the car that got me into RC's. I will look into your follow up videos. ty. happy trails.

@@dub2536 Awesome stuff! Thanks for the ideas... I will looking into that. Cheers my friend!

Thanks!

Those did come with the buggy. But order something else with foam in it, there were only slightly better than stock.

Oil shocks and a good metal servo made mine amazing..quality servos are extremely important..stock servo on mine was crap..

Cool stuff!

What does upgraded servo do?

Made my car drive straight...the stock servo was weak and would not center well..car would go left or right when i let go of the wheel.

@@user-xl5ym9lp3q stonger servo (more KGs) will make it center and stay centered. a weak servo the car will not track straight at high speeds. When you watch RC videos on the cheaper RC cars and the dude is driving it and it's veering left or right at high speeds, you know the servo in it is garbage (which is 75% of the time).

@@roadstar499 yeah man the manufacturers usually cheap out with weak servos or 5 wire servos. GARBAGE and annoying. I always have a couple cheap amazon stronger servos on hand.

Thanks for the compliment! I'm slowly building and adding on more when I have time. I'll do an update video on it soon with all the things I've done. Cheers!

Thanks for the tip!

Yeah the stock shocks are not great to say the least. I list budget friendly metal shocks in the video description and they come oil filled and work great. I have a video on it too. WL toys shocks will work for sure. 2S is great and everyone is bugging me to do a video on 3s. I will do it but I need to get to a big parking lot that's wide open. Coming soon I have a few days off soon I can get to it.

Hey Andrew. I agree! I'm pleased with it and leaving it as a drift truck. Something fun, battery charges quickly and the kids can use it. I don't think it will break easy if you leave it stock. Just what I was looking for. Reminds me of the pinecone series (SG 1601, 1602, etc...) Those are better on road experience and worth spending the extra. Thanks for dropping by!

Yeah man I saw this and I had to give it a try. It's really cool. I appreciate the comment too! Thanks for dropping by!

Hehehe true true! Pool was $500 though and it's our 5th year running it so it's paid for itself. By august though, the kids are done with swimming. lol. More time for RC boats! thanks for dropping by and leaving a comment. Cheers!

Hey! Not sure if the head turned. I generally scoop these up from my buddy who runs an e-recycle business. People drop off stuff and every couple months something like this shows. He saves them for me. I do a video (cuz I think it's cool) and put them on marketplace. They usually sell within the week as someone had one when they were a kids and now they can get the model back. I have a couple guys now I contact too, they like scooping up this stuff.

Hey Jim! It's a different aspect of RC and it's fun to drive. Hope you are doing well! have a great weekend.

Hey Dave. I totally agree! I've already put the drift wheels on it and calling it a day. My kids are loving it and I have some batteries that are same spec, JST plug Li-ion packs around 900mah. Charge fairly quick and each can drive a battery pack out and hand off to the next one. Thanks for checking in here with a great comment. Have a good weekend my friend!

These wheels are from the MJX 1/16 buggy and were a direct fit. I believe its 12mm. No adapters needed. These tires aren't that great but they are better than the stock ones.

It's not waterproof. Thanks Jay!

LOL sounds like you are doing fine Jim! Everything is going good here. Thanks for watching. have another cold one for me please 😜! lol. Cheers!

Thanks Adi! Yes the collection has grown over the 20+ years of being in the hobby! Lots of fun. I need more time to drive them all! Thanks for coming by. Take care my friend.

Sorry dude i took mine apart, saved some screws and parts, then threw out the rest.

Was hoping to see the belld8ragger on that course

@@jimbest2448 It will be out there next time. I need to make a mod on it so the servo has clearance and gives it more shock travel in the front. My buddy Doug just lent me his dremel so I'll get around to it this week.

Thanks Jim. Hope you are getting out to RC! Have a great weekend.

Hey I seen some on ebay.com (in the US) but not sure if they ship outside of the USA.

Hey Brian... yeah I heard of some people getting different wheels. I know the JJRC C8801 or Kootai versions come with the black rims and different tires. Not sure if they are a second run from the manufacturer and they sourced those different wheels. Anyway I think if you like it you'll upgrade the wheels and rims anyway. The ones though I have are pretty decent and work good on the crawler course I built at my place. I got a playlist on this truck here on my channel, check it out and in the video description is a link to a facebook group for this truck. I think there's a couple hundred people in that group now and there's post on this truck everyday with what people are doing with theirs or asking questions/posting ideas. Hope that helps. Cheers!
