Another great video dude! Love your channel all I know is on my x07 I’m on my 3rd or 4th front diff , specifically the ring gear same as the breakage on this one you showed never broke a pinion.

Are the diffs identical to those of the X-07 / X-08? They definitely look so, but are they the same size? In the X-07 they are utter crap and break all the time from nothing. I am on my third front diff and don't even do jumping and stuff. Guess in the heavier it will be even worse. I would really love to love my X-07, but the diffs just kill it.

@DerbyCityRC

10 ай бұрын

I’m not sure. I opened up that XLF X03 and they’re not the same. Smaller and look different too. The center diff puts less strain on the diffs too and it still chipped a tooth. They’re smaller than they should be 100%, but it’s was super fun and I was tough on it lol. Hopefully this opens up more budget co’s to make bigger cars!

I ordered this last week and should get it in 2 more days, so pumped to try this one out. I know those metal arms can be a weak point with big jumps but most of my big air will be on bouncey thick St. Augustine Grass. I will be doing the drywall tape shoo goo thing to the body interior before it gets a 1st rip, I tried that with my Hypergo H16BM body and it works great! Thanks for banging these up real good so we know how tough they are (or not).👏

I got it today and was shocked it only did 32mph measuring with the same GPS you use. No where close to the 50mph they advertise. I even tried a better 50c 3s Lipo. And throttle trim was turned up. Heck only 1 youtuber even got this up to 41mph as far as I can find. Also the steering is slow, loose, and beyond correction with trim, it doesn't snap back to middle when letting off the wheel but lags to the side you came from then oversteers when you try to correct, which makes lining jumps an elite challenge. Durable for sure, I only jumped it on grass, took it easy by my standards, nothing higher than 6ft or over 20ft long. And it still looks new out of the box after 3 batteries! 🤩 If it actually did 50mph I'd probably have broken it already haha! 😂

@@DerbyCityRC Update: I think GPS lag might have been the culprit with lower speed readings because I ran it again today but gave myself a longer runway and got it up to 43mph!!! Steering is still an issue and requires constant trim adjustment to even hit my ramp. Longest jump so far measured 42feet accross my lawn and no breakage! Now I just need to pack some silicone ear plugs into the mid dif to get more power to the rear wheels and maybe get an actual wheelie out of it.😁

@DerbyCityRC

5 ай бұрын

@DPR-GENX oh nice!! My latest video definitely shows gps lag so you’re probably right. And you’re right again, now I do remember having to adjust the steering trim constantly!! I wouldn’t recommend ear plugs on this model. It’s going to take away some of the durability (which again Hosim lacks a bit with their diffs). I’d go with a thick fluid like 1Million weight to get the best of both worlds. Maybe a bit thicker. Thing is I don’t know how well these diffs will hold fluid I don’t recall if there was a gasket when I rebuilt my front one

Hey, I want to thank you for doing this review. I wasn't very impressed with this car when I saw other channels' reviews, but seeing your reactions and lengthy testing/play, I think I've realised that 40 MPH is probably decent for a 1/10 model. It's just some midsized 1/14, like the JJRC Q130 and Hyper Go 14301 are just exceptional. I'm keeping my eyes peeled to your channel for more exceptional RCs. Take care.

Took out a lot of slop in the diff housing when I added shims so that right there may make it much more durable. I’ve ran it once with sims in the new front diff and no issues yet. I don’t think there’s anyone making Hosim upgrades yet, but if so the best place would be AliExpress. Seems sometimes they have odd ball upgrades lol The motor, esc, and transmitter could of course be upgraded though!

You are so right!! 🤣

I cannot figure out what Hosims are, because they have RC's from Xinlehong and MJX under their name? This one for example has a lot of Xinlehong bits.

looks more 10th scale to me but at that price point theres some better rigs to be had imo i think some thicker diff fluid would help that out alot

Would you say this is better than the X07/08? Or not comparable?

@DerbyCityRC

10 ай бұрын

I’d say this is better. It’s bigger and faster (though the x07/8 would likely be faster than this if in 3s, but I didn’t have good luck with the x07 on 3s lol). Much better handling too!

Does the X17 85A ESC have the same drag brake issue as the 45A ESC in the X07/X08? Wanting to swap a X08 ESC with an X17 ESC to run 3s and eliminate the drag brake issue.

What kind of diff fluid do you use? Please make a video on diffs and shocks and the fluid. There’s a lot out there but they explain stuff complicated. I just want to know what type of stuff to put in my boys rc and we try to run them the same way you guys do and I trust your advice. Please 🙏

Hey man. What type of car do you have? Depending on the size of the car, for center diff I like 100k-500k fluid. May go heavier than that on my 6s Kraton.

Well unfortunately they won’t fit. The Venum’s axles are thicker and so are the wheel pins. The standard wheel extensions won’t work. They probably would with some modifications like drilling out the center hub bore and somehow widening the grove for the wheel pin to sit in.

Interested to see when you get the hbx 903A and what you think of it.

@@DerbyCityRC Okies. What im trying to figure out is the 3650 motors ive used on the Wltoys 124018/19, after spinning out or doing sharp turns where the car comes close to a full stop, it doesn't have enough power to start accelerating like the Hosim can. For eg 4:26 My car could not recover from that. It has to full stop to start accelerating again. Could it be the KV? ESC? Gearing? Tyres? Or as youve been saying that the center diff helps with power distribution??? I hope you know what im trying to say! .

@DerbyCityRC

10 ай бұрын

I think I know what you mean. Hard to say what the cause is though. Could be a weird programming in the esc or could be the kv rating potentially.

Sounds like I can hear gears grinding in the beginning of your video some of the reviews. I’ve read people are complaining about the gears, grinding, stripping out less than 30 minuteson on average

In the beginning? Ya that may be true for some cars. I torched the gears in this one too, which I shared in the video. That’s hosims biggest weakness. Diff gears are too small and not strong enough. Luckily they’re cheap parts.
