Epic Orlandoo Hunter
Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары
Today we are going to build the Orlandoo Hunter OH32X02, an 1:32 scale trophy truck. This was my most difficult RC build ever, but the end result is epic! Look at the realistic suspension travel. Remember, this truck is the size of my smartphone.
I didn't record a time lapse for the build, but I will show some highlights and areas to look out for. This build I think took me 9 to 12 hours to complete! The Orlandoo Hunter kit is a built from scratch kit. In fact, there are many parts expected to be glued together. Unlike GL builds, building an Orlandoo feels a lot like building a plastic model. There are many non-performance details. For example, we have the dashboard and central console, as well as the classic trophy truck vents. The level of details is high! Once installed in the cage, they look quite realistic.
Completed the front suspension arms. Movement is free and solid. I didn't even need to massage anything!
Next is the upgraded servo saver (MX0063). In stock form, there is no saver to protect the fragile servo (AS0022). There were no instructions except some photos. But it's simple enough. I used the stiffest saver spring but it's still pretty soft.
Because this is RC, there are always turnbuckles to build. The job was significant easier with this Tamiya pin vise tool. I was impressed by the fit of the pivot balls and ball cups. I did not have to massage any joints with pliers.
I got the OEM motor system recommended for this truck, the NR3000. This is the highest geared and biggest option. It's a brushed motor mounted to a gear box. The gear box shaft will go straight to the central drive shaft. The simple design is brilliant. There's no mess and gear meshing! Paired with the motor is the OEM ESC, TS0002. It's small and plugs into the motor directly. It supports 2S lipo, and will step down the voltage for the low-voltage 2.2g servo. It doesn't support brake though! Bummer.
On the step of mounting the bottom plate on the chassis, I ran into a major manufacturing issue. The cage was too wide in the middle section, and consequently two screw holes didn't line up. This was problematic because this was a load-bearing part. Apparently this is a problem with some production batches. Some people cut and shorten a few bars of the cage. I opted for extending the tabs with some plastic bits from the parts tree. Then I drilled new holes to secure the bottom plate. It gets the job done.
With the crisis averted, we can move on to the next step. For the rear axle, I bought an upgraded part, a metal gear differential (X02-560). The stock truck comes with a locked axle. Apparently it performs quite well, but I decided to get this cute looking diff. There's a problem though. One side of the axle shaft was too thick for the 2mm bearing! I needed to sand down the metal to make it work. After more elbow grease, I got the bearing to go in comfortably. The diff action is quite smooth. I'd never run into this type of issues with Kyosho, GL, or PN kits.
It's time to work on the shocks. The trophy truck uses 8 of them! This set of 4 is for the front, and they are upgraded alloy parts (ME3-290X-GY and ME5-275X). The tiny ball cups were difficult to install! It's easier to tap the hole first, like this. The upgraded shocks look and feel really good, despite the tiny size. The front suspension is looking absolutely stunning. The rear shocks are longer but the process is similar (ME3-380X-GY and ME5-395X).
I also got the upgraded central drive shaft (MD3-375). Like the shocks, it's very smooth and high quality,.
Wow the completed chassis looks so good! This has not been an easy build at all, but the result is satisfying. Mechanically, this tiny 1:32 chassis accurately models after a real life desert truck. Front double wishbone suspension with sway bar, and rear trailing arm 4-link suspension with sway bar. The suspension travel is long and plush! This is actually crazy at this scale. It's hard to convey how small this thing is.
Of course, a trophy truck must have spare tires, gas can, and fire extinguishers in the back! I also added alloy rims. The OH32X02 trophy truck has really exceeded my expectations.
Before I close out the build footages, I want to talk about the tools required to build this kit. These are not just nice to have. I don't see how it's possible otherwise. You need a good pair of tweezers and flat cutters. Also, a magnetized #00 Phillips and 0.9mm hex drivers. Plus, a pin vise tool for turnbuckles as well as a 0.7mm drill bit.
So the truck looks good, but how does it perform? Despite the small size, and a relatively slippery wood surface, the RWD truck handles very well. The brushed motor isn't crazy fast like the Mini-Z buggy, but it's more than zippy enough to be fun! This is now my favorite indoor RC!
I will have a full review video in the near future. This is Sammy and thanks for watching!

Thanks for the video and tools list. Definitely made building the truck a lot easier. I ended up using the D4L system from Orlando hunter and the ESC is way slower. Will probably have to upgrade electronics at some point.

Thank you and I'm glad you found it useful. I think eventually I will also upgrade the ESC to at least have brake functionality, and I guess I will move the ts0002 one to a crawler.

Have you decided what electronics to go with? While I think the n30 motor is a good fit for this, I also saw some enticing brushless options during my research (i.e: not just furitek). My current thinking is that if the truck behaves well enough in outdoor settings and that I'm driving it a lot, I might have to go brushless then.

I ran into this on ali (www.aliexpress.us/item/3256805408537783.html). Ignore the relatively expensive esc but the small brushless motor + gearbox seems like it can get the job done really well and inexpensively. I can then power it with a micro esc I already have.
Now if orlandoo can make this into 1/24 scale.

@@LL-wc4wn @whatswiththissassylostchil322 I don't mind having both! Orlandoo Hunter's ecosystem with all their kits are in the 1:32 to 1:35 scale though. They share many components as a result like axles, shocks, drive shafts, motor, etc and I think they have a nice niche carved out for themselves. If they do 1:24, I would love them bringing in a whole collection too, but there will definitely be more competition against kyosho, axial, fms, etc.
Great breakdown! Really helped me with wanting to get one thanks!

Thank you! I hope you will have as much fun as I did with this little truck. I'm making a full review video right now 👍
I have also recently received my kit and I'm starting the build. Did you use foams in your tyres or you are running without? I'm considering how best to glue the tyres to the standard plastic rims without making a complete mess. Put glue on one groove at a time? Put glue in the groove in the wheel or directly onto the tyre?
@sammybaka
Жыл бұрын
I did put the foam into the tires. Otherwise the tires are a bit too soft. I haven't glued mine yet. I'm not really sure the cleanest way to do this. I would put the tire partially on so the edge is in the middle of the rim. Apply some slower CA glue in the groove and then slide the edge of the tire into the groove. That's how I'd do it.

@@sammybaka I think I'll try to do one groove at a time and let the glue dry before doing the opposite side.
just got mine today, had some issue with some screw holes not in the correct aligment for the part with the motor mount(on the roll cage). I think i will use some epoxy and drill some new hole before anything else. I'm also waiting for some upgrade part and a brushless system, i hope i will able to make it all the way without breaking anything.

Yeah unfortunately Orlandoo has yet to fix that cage alignment issue with the bottom chassis plate in their current production. There are ways around it but we shouldn't have to deal with the bug. Your epoxy method sounds logical and it should make for a clean fix. What brushless setup are you going for? Are you also upgrading the driveline?
What are you supposed to do with the fuel tank at the rear? It needs to be removeable to get the battery in and out but there is no method provided to hold it in position.
@sammybaka

The fuel tank thing clips into the chassis cage and it stays in place very securely. It's there to hold the battery in place and should be removable.

@@sammybaka How was the quality of yours? Mine seems to have a few quality issues where parts don't fit correctly. For example, I bought an extra body. One body fits the mounts okay but the other simply won't fit the mounts as the holes are drilled in slightly different positions. That is not easy to rectify!
@sammybaka

The main thing I ran into was the misaligned cage and bottom chassis plate, as described in the video. The 4 mounting holes on the body were not spaced out forward/backward enough, so I did need to elongate the two holes in the back. Everything else was pretty good for me.
Can this fit or handle a more powerful / brushless motor?

I haven't tried but I've seen others powering this truck with a furitek 8700kv and esc system. I've seen generic brushless options too which I might be tempted to try in the future. The rest of the drivetrain should be beefed up as well, such as the central cvd drive shaft and steel axle gears.
Are you using the stock tires? And if so, would you get bigger ones with those aluminum rims?

These are the stock tires for this truck. I'm not sure if there are larger tires available from Orlandoo Hunter for these 18mm rims. There will be more challenges in wheel arch clearances though for larger tires.

Due to the small size, a few steps were tricky. If you've built 1:28 kits like GL Racing or Atomic, then this particular Orlandoo kit is about 2x or 3x harder.

Thanks for sharing the information. The most immediate thing I can think of is that there might be some binding with the drivetrain, causing the motor and esc to overwork. Do you feel the motor running hotter than it should?
