Great video mate thanks for doing this as you know I hoped you started to do some more videos like this so thanks you did a great job of it. As you say mate you always enjoy yourself no matter what you are driving and that always comes across in the video that you are having fun that’s great mate.

I have the Q130 SCT. Such a fun little 1/14 truck. First thing I did was upgrade the friction shocks to oil filled shocks for $20. Transformed the handling. Need to add oil for the diffs next. Great advise to shim the diffs too. Hadn't thought of that

@rccrazy

I don't have the Q130 but same platform so I would imagine it would be awesome aswell😃 Yes I'm happy spending like $50aud on a good set of shocks for these as you still end up with a cheaper car and in my opinion a somewhat better car than most other 1/16s and alot of cars infact that are already setup👌 And yes for a few dollars a bunch of shims is well worth getting, tighter mesh definitely slows wear and sometimes prevent damage but can ultimately make a diff last much longer than if the gears had too much play between them. Just keep in mind you can over do it(add too many) hench why they come in such thin options, I used 2x 3mm in the rear and 1x 3mm in the front, yours may be slightly different but technically should be the same👍

Did you have any issues with the screws in the steering links not being long enough and backing out? My Q130 came from the factory with the front wheels fairly aggressively toed out (non adjustable) I imagine this would be the main factor in losing the screws in the steering links. I ended up using longer screws and locktite. All good now. I also wound on a fair bit of preload on the rear shocks as the q130 loves to wheelie what with the 2 spare tyres fixed to the rear body. Flip side to this is it makes the q130 a great stunt truck on jumps. Rotates well in the air. You should pick one up and review one with the upgrades

@rccrazy

No I had no screws backing out anywhere, sounds like you got it sorted though. The toe out on the front wheels helps massively with stability I found, I even started setting up my speed cars the same, I would think 134mph says it works pretty good😅 I can't really afford to get one of the q130 considering it's the same car just a different body, because I'm on low income I can't afford to get every version of a model to review. I try and get cars that other will like as well as myself but it is hard choosing what to check out. Sorry mate, I wish I could review them all🥺

Excellent video mate. Ye I really love the Q117s. Not dismantling the whole thing yet like you are though 😅 I have 4 brushless truggies but no buggies yet. They are really tough though ey.

Yeah these things are such a bargain, I bought a bunch of truggies when they were on sale for like $90aud, can't even get a good esc and motor for that these days🤣 And yes I used to recommend or give the go ahead to run 3s on the stock esc but lately a few people have had them fail on 3s, it's definitely more of a "do at your own risk" sort of test if you were to try.

@rccrazy

4 ай бұрын

Thanks mate🙏 But I feel I have a obligation to try and answer questions and comments as I do forget to mention stuff on my videos all the time😅 So yes higher C normal suggest the battery is more capable of speed and punch compared to a lower C rating. C rating has always been controversial though, C rating is almost always over exaggerated by companies. And oils in this car, I run 30k diff oil in the rear diff and 50k front. Shocks, try 45-50w in the rear and 30w in the front, if that feels too soft and springy go up by 20w in both front and rear. So 70w rear 50w front, almost as thick as I run in this car for big jumps.

Aewsome content. I watch a ton of rc vids and your channel is the best. Informational and interesting. Still new to the RC world, and completely addicted. I've taken info you've personally messaged me with, which is greatly appreciated, about my two SG-116MAX's and I am slowly turning them into beasts. My daughter and I have a blast with these. Wondering if you could tell me if I should stick with the 2s 2200mah 50c(80c burst) lipo's that we're running? Id like to run 3s and I've heard you say that these will handle 3s on the stock esc, but I've also seen you blow them up. Which I understand that's just part of it, but running these 2s lipo's the esc gets pretty hot... ??

Sorry buddy, I have so many questions!!!!, lol. What would I have to do to safely run these on 3s? I understand I need different/better esc and I think a new transmitter?? Is that it? How do you go about programming it? A new controller would be nice, but like most poeple money is too tight. I ran mine over with my actual truck and I've re-soldered all broken wires duck taped, jb welded and flex sealed it all back together 👌. And while doing so, for fun I flipped the steering wheel to the other side of the transmitter, now operating throttle with right hand. It works 🤷

Where do i plug a fan into on one of these rc cars . Do u have a video ?

@rccrazy

4 ай бұрын

No video sorry but it's very simple, the 2 ports on the 2in1 for LEDs, they will run a fan no problem you may just have to change the plug on the fan so it will fit. Alternatively if you buy a 6v to 12v capable fan you can run it of the balance plug on the actual car lipo or just run a separate small 2s lipo directly to the fan.

@rccrazy

Yes you put a shim with the bearing on the crown gear side, that will push the gears closer making the mesh tighter, I think I used 10x12mm shims and 0.3mm thick. But if you can stop both at the same time while the front keeps going that is worse than just needing shims, that is definitely damage somewhere.

I bought one of these. The green one.. 160101PRO. When I got it. It wouldn’t run on High Mode(fastest). I’ll full throttle then it would stall esc sounds 3 beeps. Seems like I can only run it when the motor warms up. I try 3s lipo and it ran on High mode decently. Anyways my 3s lipo is low so I had to go charge it. Next day I try 2s again and the esc just flashes red the led on front bumper flashes very fast and wont connect up to the controller. I feel that I got a defective one. Im not sure what to do or what the problem is? I might try but this time the 16102PRO one time and see if it will work great for me. Seeing how you had yours for maybe 1-2 years running good.

Ай бұрын

You may have differential damage so yes definitely check them. But the way you explain it to me it sounds more like a motor cogging issue. Check the motor wires and the gold plugs, sometimes the wire can come loose inside the solder and it will cause strange throttle issues because the wire is not always touching the gold plug. Could be something else but that will eliminate those 2 things at least😅

I personally don't run wheels that don't allow the chassis to bottom out, if it can't every other part cops the stress especially the shocks and swingarms. 1/10 buggy wheels are OK on this car but I would never run 1/10 truck or truggy wheels as it will cause excess stress and higher chance of damage.
