LOL, you and I are the same, I also take all my new RC cars apart first before running them to make sure all the running gear is properly lubricated (greased and oiled) - I find in doing that my RC cars tend to last a lot longer before needing new running gear parts.

Got my second in today great riggs love the vid bud. Great info...👍 I got 34 on mine out the box to get the 37 I had to use a 40c liPo on it.

Mjx chassis has access points for greasing the diffs, it's those holes you see when the metal bumpers are removed.

That was the best introduction for this car. The tear down was very informative. I am interested ün the cvds. If I did not interpret wrong, in order to fit these beefy cvds to 124017, cups on differential should also be changed. It would be great if you can post a demonstration video for fitting 124008 cvds to 124017.

That's a big topic! Since this budget car already come with 3S lipo 1500/2000mAh option, I would not go out and bought the expensive battery, you would hardly notice the difference. Recently I bought one that comes with 3300mAh soft case battery. Unless you know what you are doing, I can only recommend the stock hard case 2000mAh battery

The chassis looks like a stretched MJX Hyper Go 1/16 scale, wish they made a truck body that would fit on this, then I would really just transfer all the running gear of one of my MJX Hyper Go 16208 1/16 scale onto this WLToys Chassis so that in reality I will then have a 1/12 scale MJX Hyper Go.

Hi, I disassembled mine and now confused where does the stiffer spring should be. Should it be on the front or rear? also is the shock with bigger notch (on the aluminum body, theres a notch) front or rear? Thank you

Stiffer spring is used for different setup to users content and/or terrain. This will take too long to explain here. As for shocks, the longer ones go to the rear

Technically not on 3S. Must involve mods or suffer the consequences. This one is designed with higher torque which in turn produced better off road experience, while 124017 is designed for speed.

I just received this car I bought after looking at all the enthusiastic reviews. Sadly the first impressions are not in line with the expectations. In particular I find the throttle response incredibly bad with huge deadzone in both driving and braking directions. Around 50% of the full stroke has no effect and the torque modulation happens in a short amount of travel making fine control impossible. All my other RC cars are brushed so maybe I'm expecting too much from a cheap brushless esc, but at the moment I'm pretty disappointed. It's a shame as in every other aspect the car is magnificent and overall quality is better than expected.

@customtoyrevolution

Жыл бұрын

That's a valid point if you are switching from brushed. I too felt the same when I first tried a budget brushless system, but soon got used to it. The same reason why many crawlers are brushed, or people invest in high-end brushless system. In many case, the dead zone can be programmed via a programmer but I have not tried it on this car.

@Avoletta-qs6nf

Жыл бұрын

@CustomToyRevolution thanks for the info. Sadly it's not just about dead zone. It combines with the minimum achievable torque that in my opinion is way too high and artificially increased just for avoiding cogging. Since I'm not interested in max speed I regret my purchase and I'll probably sell it for a more co trollable brushed version (probably the 10 scale from wltoys is a good alternative).
