Cheers for the video, that was very useful. I've added the ZD Racing shocks (after ordering some way too small!) and it handles so much better and is worth it for this cool car. And I opened up the car and fixed a problem of loud rattling, which was caused by dirt or gravel in the gears. Thanks to your vid I plucked up the courage to try and fix it myself. I'd love to be able to do brushless upgrades etc in the future, thanks for getting me started with tinkering.

This was a satisfying video to watch - I really wanted to see this great looking vehicle kitted out to full hobby-grade spec, and you did it so economically! This would now be a great little truck to take on a beach holiday or to keep in the back of the cr for taking advantage of unexpected RC opportunities!

I am new to RC cars and the battery life on the model that came is 10-15 min tops then we have to go inside again ;( I want to rip around all day but cant seem to figure out the max size battery i can jam into this beast so we can run it for hours. I ordered more of the batteries it came with but again they only run 10-15 min. Any way you can help me out with battery options? Thanks hope you are well.

nice video. quick question, since you reduced the pinion tooth from a 19T to 17T, is there an adjustment hole or space on the motor mount so to get the proper gear mesh from the smaller pinion to the spur gear? THanks

might be springs a little long giving too much pre-load for the light chassis? done it to quite a few RC's, cutting 1 or 1.5 turns and flattening the new ends with 2 pair needle nose. pretty easy to make them good, just look and think as you go bending+flexing them into shape. lighter oil wont help if there's too much spring to start with. I do like some softness, if it sits about 3/16" low under its own weight it's "there" with a little negative suspension travel to help keep it stable, not stiff staying dead flat spinning out. if you're going to go bashing and launching just run the spring collars down 1/8" to have the stiffness back, no harm done.

Which would u pick between this and the zd racing Mt 16 brushless rocket.

Could you provide a link to the pinion gear that was used?

I changed the motor gear from 19T to 17T, but I could observe the gap between the great gear reducer and the teeth. The reason is that the diameter of 17T is smaller than 19T. Is there any way to solve this problem? When a large torque is applied, there seems to be a risk of the teeth slipping.

You need a new controller for brushless?? I love my 12402a but the front shafts do break a lot due to extreme angle

Thanks for the video. It actually persuaded me to buy this rc *and* do the upgrade. I'm a bit new with these though, so I don't have all the tools. In particular, the hex driver for the pinion set screw. Do you know what size hex driver is needed? Also, where I can source (or how to tell the specs) on the pinion, to find another if needed? P.S. It looks like you tore the motor mount out of there! There seems like a real possibility of cracking the plastic body in doing so.

What steering cup replacement can fit this rc ?

Is it same oil shocks rear and front?

I have the same car, but the motor does not move. When I hit the remote, it only moves direction, but motor just make a little noise but has no move. I have tried with different motors and a new exact remote transmitter. What could happen?

With this upgrade, we can run longer? Tq

friend what is the exact description of the shock absorbers, size and diameter? for me to buy and come correct.

12402a why do you turn it off? on the go? can it have to do with the condition of the battery?
