Thank you for this. It seems like nearly every “Tamiya complete build” video skips all of this, and I for one needed this exact explanation. Great job, thank you!

Video was very helpful. Thank you..... I haven't had an RC car been over 30 years.... A lot has changed

You just saved my life . Boxing day for my 8 year old building the LUNCHBOX. Simply followed your setup 👌 👍 thank you so much 🙏 😊

Verry good video. I always forget how to setup and this video explains the important settings. Now when comes the advanced tutorial: - change the voltage cutoff to a higher, lipo correct value - modify the circutes to run the servo at full voltage (HV servo) - use two speedcontrolers on channel 2 and 3 (for whatever reason)

Thank you. Have a Tamiya Frog and hooking up a new Traxxas TQ receiver and transmitter. Forward and reverse were opposite of the trigger. Last step worked and I had at first I had ESC in channel 1 and no motor operation. So I switched to ch 2. You solved both 👍🏼👍🏼 “cheers” from the US.

Thanks. It isn’t recommended to run lipo as it doesn’t have a low voltage cut off so could risk damaging the battery. If you went and did it anyway use a separate lipo alarm to keep an eye on the voltage.

They are good motors for the price but the standard ESC has a 25T motor limit for brushed motors so you would need to change the ESC if using a 21T. I would recommend a Hobbywing 1060 for value and quality.
